Surry, Maine
Newbury Neck is a 9 mile peninsula. Gray Cottage is 8 miles out set on a 90 acre plot with Union River Bay on one side, and Morgan Bay on the other. For 3 generations, the family has protected this land from development and gifted through a trust, the blueberry fields that slope down to the ocean and that look upon the mountains of Acadia. Especially in the autumn, these mountains glow with deep reds, orange, and gold. RATES DISCOUNTED AFTER SEPTEMBER 17.
Gray Cottage by the Sea has an exquisite "back shore" private beach on Morgan Bay that you can walk to through a mile or so wooded path. On the front side of the property you have blueberry barrens and in the distance the mountains of Acadia National Park and the wide expanse of Union River Bay with views of Bartlett and Black Island.
Opportunities for kayaking, hiking, biking, and walking abound. There are also private charters, fishing trips, and whale watching opportunities.
The cottage has a generous front deck facing the water, and a lovely side porch that's perfect for 3 seasons due to screen and glass options.
This is a charming, beautifully maintained home with a private location on the coast of Maine.
Newbury Neck is an area where many homes and cottages have been in families for several generations and the area has a rich cultural history. With the lively village of Blue Hill nearby and the town of Ellsworth just a short distance, any amenity, restaurant or shop is never far away. Day trips to Bar Harbor, Brooklin, Stonington, Deer Isle, Camden are terrific way to spend a rainy day or to indulge arts, crafts, shopping and dining out.
To keep Newbury Neck extra special, many individuals have donated some of their land and put into the Land Conservancy which helps maintain the rustic beauty of the area with its commanding views of the mountains of Acadia National Park for "all" to enjoy. Exploring nature up close, walking, beach-combing, swimming and kayaking are all right here for you to enjoy.
A lovely public sandy beach for swimming and sunbathing is just down the road 3 miles or so, as is Perry's Lobster Shack- the only outdoor dockside dining in Surry.
Grey Cottage is a newer cottage that reflects an earlier era. It has 19th Century stone walls and gardens that are of the period and have been maintained to complement this charming 3 bedroom, 2 full bath cottage which sleeps 6.
This is a pet free cottage.

This house was just perfect for a friends and family stay in the Fall. Walk to Morgan Bay, walk across the field to Union River Bay, walk to the local cemetery. Close proximity to a gem of a local library, a well-stocked grocery store, a wine store, and plenty of lobster. Hosts were attentive and responsive. House had everything we needed. Sitting on the east facing deck in the morning and evening was the highlight. Very special.
This cottage was perfect for my husband and I (and our teenage grandson part of the time). Loved the decor, views, path to the private beach in back, searching for sea glass, watching the car headlights as they drive down Cadillac Mountain at dark, the wild turkeys and deer, front deck was our favorite hang-out but also loved gathering around the kitchen table. I really can't image staying anywhere else.
The location was awesome, the house was generously appointed. Quiet, beautiful and lots of wildlife. Worth every penny!
What a lovely property! Such a gorgeous location that was completely private and secluded. We enjoyed the sunrise every morning sitting out on the front porch watching wild turkeys and deer walk across the lawn. The property was well maintained and did not disappoint. The walk to your private beach was enjoyable. We visited several small towns all within an hour or two from your location including Acadia National Park and Bat Harbor. This girl‘s trip was amazing and we will return!!! Thank you for accommodating us and for making our trip extra special.
Our family had the most incredible week in Surry. The house was clean with a well stocked kitchen. With trails nearby, access to a private beach and lots of wildlife around, this was the perfect place to be as active or lazy as you want to be. Highly recommend!!
We chose this cottage based on the chance for our kids to be able to get outside and explore. That they did! We enjoyed the open green space, the view, the private beach, the quiet and the beautiful smell of lilac in the air. We took advantage of what we couldn't do back home, so we were busy. The cottage was a perfect, comfortable and clean place to come back to and rest.
My husband and I just spent the week at this lovely cottage. The location is so quiet. We enjoyed sitting on the deck listening to the birds and taking in the view. We are familiar with mid coast Maine and so found this location to be convenient for visiting Blue Hill, Brooklin, Buck's Harbor, Northeast Harbor and Seal Harbor. Perry's Lobster Shack was just down the road. The lupine were in full bloom everywhere and a walk to the end of the road offered the best balsam fragrance! The cottage was appointed with guests in mind. Lots of thoughtful touches to make our stay convenient. I especially appreciated the lack of decorative clutter which offered plenty room for us to spread out for the week. Dee, the owner, was thoughtful and helpful. We would recommend this cottage to anyone wanting to explore the midcoast but also to anyone looking for a place to rest.
Very charming home with everything you need for a visit. Beautiful sunrises over Union Bay and mesmerizing sunsets over Morgan Bay all without leaving the property! Wildlife visits morning and night. A great place to relax.
Ocean view cottage exceeded all our expectations. We were so incredibly comfortable and cozy inside the house. It felt like home , and one I was not ready to leave after a week!The most well equipped rental ever! The property is absolutely beautiful. The view from the front porch is perfect for watching the sun rise as you enjoy the serenity. What at treat to have a path in the back to walk on to the beach and explore. A perfect location to take trips to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Also, great hiking not only in ANP but also the trails near Blue Hill. True hidden gems! Ease of check in and a property manager who was extremely available and communicative. LOVED IT!!!
Our two families (four adults, two adult children) had an amazing two weeks at Grey Cottage. The house itself is a charming, comfortable, classic Maine cottage with all the modern amenities--and super clean. The view from the front porch across Union River Bay to Mount Desert was among the best we have ever seen in our twenty-plus years of coming to Maine. We spent hours on the porch every day drinking coffee and/or cocktails, reading, watching birds, soaking in the sun. One of the best features of the place is the back beach, a lovely 15-minute walk through the woods behind the house. It’s basically a private cove, perfect for swimming, sunning, watching birds and seals and even a dolphin (twice). The location of Grey Cottage is fantastic: an hour from Acadia, twenty minutes from Blue Hill and Ellsworth, on a super-quiet peninsula off a peninsula. Can’t say enough good things about this place.
We had an amazing week in Surry Maine! The house was even better than expected, the beds comfortable and everything imaginable was provided, even a Vitamixer!. The private beach is not to be missed, spent many hours beach combing for sea glass and all kids of items. Please go to beach at sunset, it was beautiful and well worth the walk. We hope to return VERY soon.
