Bayside Cottage: A Cozy Coastal Retreat

Booked this charming cottage last minute and so happy with our decision! Cutest house with all the amenities to feel like home! Loved walking to Kelly’s Cove and shopping in Camden! Waterfront is gorgeous and weather was perfect! Highly recommend! Will definitely stay here if we come Back to Maine again!

Heidi’s home was the perfect home base for a relaxing midcoast Maine vacation. Day trips to surrounding towns were easy from this location. The beds were comfortable, the seating in the living and dining room ample for our group of 6, and the kitchen stocked with enough supplies to make simple breakfasts and dinners possible. We enjoyed being able to walk down to the beach and wharf nearby.

Beautiful surroundings, amazing sunrises, and stars at night. Everything was great.

Lovely home in a fantastic location! Our hosts were amazing, responded immediately to questions and provided coffee making supplies, waters and basic accoutrements that made our stay comfortable from the moment we arrived!

Beautiful, clean cottage in a welcoming little village. Great accessibility to harbors and within walking distance to the pier and a cute little park. Our family enjoyed the hospitality and great communication with our host!

We had a wonderful stay! Very clean and comfortable cottage. (The bed was unusually comfy for rental.) Two of my favorite amenities were awaiting us when we arrived: Fresh cut flowers and coffee! Heidi (the host) was extremely responsive and lovely to deal with.

We had a great week, house was very nice and the Bayside area is beautiful.

This was a perfect, toasty warm, place for family to stay over the Christmas holiday. The open floor plan on the first floor is wonderful for communicating. The one year old enjoyed walking around this area. We enjoyed the big dinning table for meals, board games, and wrapping gifts. The beds were very comfortable. Two of the bedrooms have a water view in winter! The property managers are exceptionally attentive. They went above and beyond coming first thing in the morning to shovel snow!

Bayside is wonderful in the fall/winter season - very quiet, lovely views, nice walks on a variety of roads, interesting houses to look at. Our cottage was well situated, warm, comfortable beds, easy to use kitchen, 2 well-equipped bathrooms, quiet neighborhood. A small drawback was the lack of reading lamps in 2 of the 3 bedrooms, for those who like to read themselves to sleep. The Rinnai heater kept the downstairs quite warm and, as long as doors were open upstairs, the bedrooms were adequately warm. Washer, dryer and dishwasher were nice to have. We did not use the TV's - every room had one. Wi-Fi worked fine. The house was clean and ready for us.

The property is very clean in nice neighborhood! Really enjoyed the stay!

The house is on a very quiet street facing the water. It is away from the busy Camden area but not too far. The amenities were very good, and they were responsive to our one minor request. My only complaint was that the shower door downstairs is VERY noisy. I would stay here again.

Heidi and Bill have put a lot of care and love into their cottage. We were enchanted from the moment we walked in. It was spotlessly clean, spacious, well furnished and equipped. The beds were comfortable. We slept like babies. The hosts were very organised and gave us all the information we needed. At all times we felt that we could communicate with our hosts if we needed to. Of course, everything was so well planned that we didn't need to communicate with them except to thank them for all the little touches that made our family trip very relaxing and enjoyable. Thanks again Heidi and Bill.
