Truly one of the most special places I’ve ever stayed at. Waking up on the water and having coffee was one of the most luxurious thing. Can’t recommend enough. Only wish it was available next summer!

Thank you for your kind words! We're happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. We too wish we could offer you earlier dates so that you could rebook for next year. We happily recommend your family to other fortunate hosts. Best wishes, Brenda and Chelsea
Pretty much every room had a direct view of the ocean. The place is very charming and right on the water. I could even hear the waves one evening with my windows open. The beach is a great place to walk. The kitchen had everything I needed. The cottage was clean and well taken care of. The setting and views are amazing. The owner was very nice and I'm glad I got to meet her. I hope to stay again in the future.
Idyllic location and enchanting 30's cottage with charming details and well loved personal touches that enhanced our stay. Attentive and kind hosts. We hope to return.
This is a truly beautiful spot with amazing views of the water and shore access. The owners are very nice and accommodating. The house is somewhat rustic but is very clean and has everything you will need for a pleasant and comfortable stay. We had a power outage while we were there and found out there is a backup generator-much appreciated! Note that there is a grassy slope to walk down to the house that might be a problem for someone with access issues. Enjoyed our stay!

About the host
Hosted by Chelsea and Brenda Horton
We represent private property owners to manage their rental properties for short-term rentals on Maine’s beautiful Blue Hill Peninsula. Enjoy peace of mind when you rent with our locally-owned company. Know that what you see online is what you will enjoy in person and that we'll be there when you need us. All of our properties are available during the summer months with some also available for winter rentals.
Why they chose this property
As described by the Blue Hill Chamber of Commerce: The Blue Hill Peninsula encompasses the towns of Blue Hill, Brooklin, Brooksville, Castine, Penobscot, Sedgwick, and Surry and serves as the gateway to Little Deer Isle, Deer Isle, and Stonington. Blue Hill is the largest town and is the region’s service center. The landscape here is marked by sweeping views of the blueberry barrens and the sea. Tucked in among the ridges, valleys, and jagged coastline, you’ll find adventure of all kinds, from a day on the water and an evening of live music to a solitary morning walk and an afternoon of gallery tours and shopping.
You’ll find our communities to be diverse, independent yet interconnected. In all of these places, you may strike up a conversation with a lobsterman, boatbuilder, or sailor who knows these waters like the back of their hand. In all of these places, you will find locally sourced food and highly skilled craftspeople and artists. In all of these places, you will find evidence of the resourcefulness, dry wit, and creativity that has defined our region’s culture for centuries.
This region was settled in the mid-1700s, and its early economy centered around shipbuilding and quarrying. Lumbering, lobstering, fishing, and farming have played an important role in our economy and culture since the earliest days. By the late 1800’s the region had become a summer destination. Today, many of these industries coexist with a thriving art, music, and food scene to create this unique place called The Blue Hill Peninsula.
What makes this property unique
One of our favorite cottages, Periwinkle was originally part of the Haven Colony, a group of artists, many of modest means, that wanted to escape the city for peace and tranquility on Maine’s rocky coast. The owners have thoughtfully and charmingly furnished it to be inviting for guests to stay in while visiting the area. Sitting on the shores of Herrick Bay, there are stairs leading down to the wonderful private beach just waiting for guests to enjoy and explore, and an outdoor shower to rinse off the sand and grass upon return.
