LOCATION AND PRIVACY are a unique combination in this Historic Cape Cottage set in the heart of Port Clyde Harbor. Many ocean views can be enjoyed from this peaceful three-bedroom + loft, two-bath village paradise. Dine while the sun sets on the back deck with views of islands and fisherman unloading their catch in the distance. Relax in the private backyard under the shade of an apple tree in an Adirondack chair. Or walk down to the shore where you can fish (poles provided) or launch kayaks (weekly rentals available) and enjoy the activities of a working Maine village.
BUILT IN 1820, Port Clyde Cottage is full of New England charm. Freshly restored and decorated, the interior is abundant with soothing colors and natural light allowing visitors to enjoy the outdoors even from the inside. Luxurious bedding and modern appliances combined with antiques and the quaint features of a historic residence make Port Clyde Cottage the perfect summer retreat.
IDEAL LOCATION: Port Clyde Cottage is located on Main Street in the quaint fishing village of Port Clyde, Maine. A short walk from the Cottage takes you past Village Ice Cream, the ferry to Monhegan Island, and the Port Clyde General Store where the freshest seafood can be enjoyed on the outdoor deck. Rent a few kayaks for the week at Port Clyde Kayaks next to the General Store. Take a beautiful one-mile walk to Marshall Point lighthouse for a picnic and be sure to visit the historic museum. Antique stores, art galleries and gift shops are all within a short walk. Drift Inn Beach, about one mile away, is a beautiful sandy beach overlooking several islands and a great place to build a sand castle or savor a good book. The area has several great restaurants including the Harpoon which features a unique barroom abundant with local flavor. Monhegan Island is a nice day trip by ferry. Here, you can visit local artists' galleries and hike along the east coast's tallest cliffs for a spectacular bird's-eye view of Penobscot Bay.
