Victorian Cove Cottage is located on the harbor and just around the corner from the town center of the quaint old fishing village of Stonington. Nestled on a gently sloping hillside, it boasts gorgeous views of the harbor, ocean thoroughfare, and many islands, including Isle au Haut - part of Acadia National Park.
Lounge on the wrap-around porch and enjoy southerly and southwesterly views. Relax on the dock, granite ledges, gardens, and beach area or slip into one of our FIVE kayaks and tour the harbor or surrounding close by islands. View the array of lobster boats and glorious sailing vessels as they pass in and out of the harbor - easily seen from inside as most rooms have an ocean view.
Delight in beautiful sunsets or relish the calm as an evening fog rolls in. Enjoy time with friends and family as this house accommodates sleeping for nine, yet cozy enough for just two. You'll find it charmingly decorated with antiques and local collectibles while having all the modern appliances to make your stay comfortable and convenient. All wood flooring further accentuates it's charm.

Map & Owner's Profile
Oceanfront Victorian on Stonington Harbor, 6 Kayaks, Dock
Year Purchased: 1998
Why the Owner Chose Stonington
Having grown up in Maine, but now living in Florida, I was homesick! So we bought a fixer upper and the whole family pitched in and helped us fully renovate this former "lobsterman's family home". With very few homes actually waterfront on Stonington Harbor, this home was ideal. We feel very fortuate. It's a dream come true!
The Unique Benefits at this House
In actuality their aren't so many homes directly on Stonington Harbor. This home is right on the harbor, and only a few minutes walk to downtown. And that dock is fantastic....we have 5 kayaks to use...plus we are purchasing more! This is the best location for kayaking out to the nearby islands. We have many return guests...so I guess they like it as much as we do!
Owner's Map of Stonington
While originally from Maine, we currently live in Florida. We bought this home nearly 10 years ago to be able to spend more time near our family. But we can't yet quite fully afford this place, so we rent it out during the summer months, and use the off season for our time there. We also love sharing the home. It's a great location, a warm environment, and the kayaks are just such a treat. The nearby island are fantastic to explore. We've worked very hard to make the home enjoyable for our guests, and it is fully supplied with everything you should need. We also try to have laundry, dish and dishwasher detergent, tin foil, baggies,etc....all those sort of things you don't want to have to buy for a short stay. We also put in comfortable and quality bedding. It's a great house!!

I have stayed at this cottage many times, and enjoyed our stay each time. It's a lovely home, right on the harbor yet walking distance to the cutest town, with outstanding views over Stonington Harbor. The home is lovely, w/ the added bonus of 5 kayaks. To rent these elsewhere would be far too costly - $200/week/kayak. These kayaks are located right on the dock, so it's quick & easy to launch. The home is situated right near a wide array of islands, so excellent kayaking adventures are in the immediate vicinity. I haven't seen other properties that come w/ so many kayaks, so for our family, this home allowed for all of us to have a kayak and share in the fun. We also really liked the wrap around deck - especially the eating area overlooking the harbor. We also enjoyed the picnic table down on the dock, although a seagull did try to steal my sandwich! The home is very clean, the beds comfy. There is both a dining room and a breakfast nook, which came in handy. We all fought over the day bed in the dining room nook for naps and a cozy reading spot. All the bedrooms are charming but my favorite one is upstairs, overlooking the harbor. Each time we return something new has been added or updated. It's a great place. The owners are very nice and seem to genuinely care about their guest's stay.
Recommended for:Pet owners, girls getaway, families with teenagers, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, adventure seekers, families with young children, sightseeing, age 55+.
