Belfast, Maine
Are you looking for the quintessential Maine cottage with views of Penobscot Bay and steps away from the beach Look no further, Overlook Cottage has two bedrooms and one full bath (newly updated 2023) with two full size beds and one queen bed and sleeps 4 adults or 2 adults with children comfortably. Enjoy views while grilling your catch of the day or dining inside the screened porch. Enjoy the Adirondack chairs on the deck or play an outdoor game on the massive green lawn out front. The cottage has a flat screen tv, Bose Sound-bar, internet for those working remote, screened in deck and full (newly renovated in 2023) kitchen. On those cool nights enjoy our newly installed vented contemporary fireplace while watching the waves outside. We are working to lower our environmental impact and have installed a reverse osmosis water system to avoid plastic water bottles and are using laundry sheets instead of wasteful plastic containers. Be sure to bring your own water bottle for your hikes and outdoor adventures. Enchanting downtown Belfast with its quaint shops and delicious restaurants is only 3 miles away. Guided water adventures, relaxation, golf, and local artists are all just minutes away!
Overlook Cottage is quaint & cozy, but very modernized. Loved the filtered water option for sustainability and use of our water bottles. Favorite for our family: utilizing the screened in porch & deck and waking up to each morning to a gorgeous centered view of Penobscot Bay, meandering the rocky shore, or ending the night with a view of a million stars. Pamela & family provide many staple amenities and easy access to a local farmers coop or grocery store in Belfast. Our local contact, Donna, was wonderful and efficient to help with a small tech issue. We hope to return to Overlook Cottage time and time again. Great base camp for all adventures in any direction! Thank you for sharing this lovely cottage for our summer family holiday!
Beautiful place!
Beautiful cottage on Belfast Bay. Perfect for our family. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
We had a great time. The view is amazing and the cottage is very clean and well equipped.
First trip to Maine (visiting from Atlanta). Home was as described, clean and modern and had everything we needed. Quick walk right down to the beach where the kids could walk every night, swim, look for crabs, seals, etc. About a 8 min drive to downtown Belfast, and 90 min ride to Acadia national park. Definitely was relaxing and had everything we needed. Would highly recommend!
We had a wonderful time staying in this exceptional home. Property had all of the things we needed for the week, and even the things we didn’t know we needed! We traveled with our young kids and this home with accommodating. Pamela was a welcoming and responsive host. 10/10 and we will look forward to coming back to this home in years to come!!
This was our second year here and we will go back next year. The property is immaculate and well sized. The location is perfect. The view of the bay from the screened porch and open deck is worth the price of admission.
We had the best time staying in Belfast at Pamela’s cottage. It’s the perfect size and immaculately maintained and beautifully decorated. Kitchen & bath were stocked with everything you need. Screen porch was the perfect place to work and to hang out. WiFi was perfect and plenty fast which my husband appreciated since he was working remotely and had several important overseas meetings. We enjoyed combing the beach for shells and rocks and checking the tide pools. Cottage is centrally located and we were able to drop our daughter off at camp in Bangor, visit friends in Damariscotta and even hike in beautiful Acadia! My 15 year old enjoyed scouring the two very good bookstores in town and we enjoyed all the restaurants and shops. Owner was very quick to respond with the few questions I had and everything went very smoothly. Can’t wait to come back soon!
This was a perfect home base for our bucket list trip to maine. It was right in the middle for traveling the coast. Sunsets were the perfect way to end the day! Will highly recommend for a wknd or a week!!! Thanks for the memories Todd & Lori MN
Wonderful view! Great cottage and owner went above and beyond to make our stay special!! Would definitely stay again if back in Maine.
The view is spectacular. We loved sitting on the screened in porch. It is a very quiet area as well. The owners thought of literally everything you could think of made us feel like we were at home. It also is a nice in the middle of other towns. The owner is very responsive as well.
The cottage is precisely as pictured and described, well-stocked with blankets, towels, toiletries and pretty much anything you might require and Pamela, should you need her, was quick to respond to the couple of questions we had. A particularly noteworthy feature for us was the screened-in porch that we enjoyed throughout our stay. Several hours after we departed and nearly 200 miles away we realized that we left something very valuable in the cottage. We immediately contacted Pamela from the road and she coordinated the safe return of our valuables via FedEx. I not only give 5 stars to the cottage but also to Pamela who really works to provide her guests with a top-notch experience... and she succeeds!
We really enjoyed our week at this cottage, it was comfortable, cozy and we particularly loved the two porches. Would recommend highly.
It was wonderful. The size was perfect. The cottage itself was immaculate. We loved the screened in porch and the deck. Even though it was in the 90's while we were there, the cottage remained cool and comfortable. We have already booked it for a week next summer.
What an amazing property! Beautifully decorated, completely stocked, and just what we needed for a relaxing vacation. Thank you! and we will certainly book again!
What a fabulous place!! The cottage was perfect for our family of 4. The view was amazing! We sat on the porch for all our meals. We loved the location and it was a great jumping off point for Acadia National Park and a bunch of adorable seaside towns. The only downside was that we couldn't stay longer. We definitely hope to be back someday!
We had such a lovely, peaceful stay at this oceanview cottage in the sweet town of Belfast. Quiet, clean, well- stocked. We had great views of the ocean, sailboats, some distant 4th of July fireworks. Loved the beach access and screened porch. Everything we needed was at our fingertips. Better stocked than most rentals we've stayed in. Close to amenities and sites of interest. Belfast had cute shops and great food. Enjoyed Young's Lobster Pound. Shout out to their amazing staff! Excellently cooked seafood. Though we should have taken Pamela's advice and brought a couple sides, drinks and wine. ;) midway between Camden and Bar Harbour. Just perfect! We had a beautiful time in this cute little cottage.
beautiful place very clean felt at home ...
This cottage exceeded our expectations in all ways. Beautifully kept, had everything you could possibly need for a stay away. Location was excellent and within 1/2 hour of many attractions. Looking forward to staying again next year.
We had a fun weekend getaway at the Overlook Cottage. Our children (7 and 9) loved exploring the beach and tidal pools. The cottage was very clean with everything we could possibly need for our stay. It was a short drive to Belfast where we enjoyed the shops, ice cream, and the walk along the harbor. We cooked most of our meals at the cottage , but did enjoy one of the many restaurants before we left. We would highly recommend staying here and hope to come back in the near future! Many thanks to Pamela!
The cottage was great! It’s super cute, very clean and well appointed. It was perfect for a quick getaway. The view and location can’t be beat. Being early in the season, the house itself had a beautiful view of the water and was quiet and serene. The location was also very convenient to a variety of attractions, including Belfast, Bangor, and Bar Harbor and a bunch of great, underrated smaller state parks that are very accessible.
