Dog-friendly bayfront home close to Rockland with water view - snowbirds welcome
Step inside Turkey Cove Cottage, and you'll immediately feel right at home amid the retreat's stylish and carefully considered design, amazing views, and ideal location! Turkey Cove is a stunning section of the St. George Peninsula sandwiched between the villages of Tenants Harbor and Port Clyde.
This cottage sits on a knoll with unimpeded views from inside the house as well as the large deck at the front. The lawn slopes down towards the cove, flanked by ancient apple trees and tall grasses. The property also has deeded access to Turkey Cove which means you can walk down to explore the waterfront, cast a line at high tide, or kayak from the shore when the tide is right. Your vacation home is also ideally situated for scenic walks, long runs, or bike rides to Port Clyde Village or Drift Inn Beach, one of the area's only sandy beaches. Tenants Harbor Village is also close by. The larger cities of Rockland and Camden/Rockport are vibrant and diverse downtown areas, easily accessible from the home.
The living room is comfortable and roomy, making it the perfect place to lounge and watch your favorite TV shows after outdoor adventures. Above the living room is a loft, accessed by a ship's ladder, that is a favorite place for guests of a certain age to play, sleep, read, and imagine. The kitchen is well equipped with a “gathering table” in the center, with lots of counter space and all you could need for meals of any sort. There is also a small dining area between the kitchen and the living room that often does double duty as a place to put together puzzles, play a mean game of cribbage, or look through treasures collected throughout the day. The primary bedroom is private and set at the back of the house, providing a sunny and roomy space with an en suite.
Boasting awe-inspiring sunrises and sunsets to look forward to, you'll begin and end every day with picturesque views.

Comfortable and serene
The house had everything to make our stay comfortable plus a great view.
Even if it is remote and far from the crowd, it is very accessible and well located. Outdoor furniture is perfect to enjoy the ocean.

Stunning views with beach access
Absolutely stunning sunset views from a fully updated home with everything you need! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay even with two adults sleeping in the “children’s room”. Comfortable bedding, clean and everything you would need in the kitchen. We drove to Rockland to Archer’s for lunch which was outstanding! Highly recommend this home and location!
This house is so so special. The water right outback is so much fun, but the house itself just anticipated our every need - spacious kitchen, screened in deck where we sat and read one evening during a thunderstorm, the back deck where we ate most meals and the large comfy living room where we watched movies and played games. Easy distance from Camden/Rockport, super close to Rockford. We preferred this location to past stays down in Port Clyde bc it was so much easier to get in/out. Perfect for our family of 5 (kids 11, 9 and 5). I hope we’ll return!

Rest, Relaxation, and Solitude!!!
This house is exactly what we were hoping for on the second half of our trip to Maine! Super clean, very remote feeling while only being 10 minutes or so from town, with comfortable accommodations. The views outside were wonderful and offered the tranquility my wife and I were hoping for as a respite from our busy schedule. Highly recommend!!!

Outstanding!
Location! Location! Location! Amazing sunsets! Beautifully appointed home…so comfortable! We spent the days exploring mid-coast Maine and the evenings back at our home base enjoying wine and watching the sunsets! So peaceful…so serene! Quintessential Maine at its finest!
House and location was great! Clean and well stocked..kids had a blast. Great viewsCamara in the back yard were wife and kids hung out and swam was odd..we turned it so whoever sitting at home couldnt stare at our family swimming/hanging out in yard..and when i was out tuna fishing i got several messages from vrbo saying owner was calling about camara being moved and he cant view yard,which i thought was extremely weird you kinda wonder if someone is sitting watching you and your family from another location..and we found out YES they are..other than that great stay! Get ride of the camara in the back yard!! Creepy for sure

Loved this rental
Overall, the place was spectacular.
the house was very clean when we checked in, tons of indoor lighting, good Wi-Fi, good heating when temperatures dropped to 40°. No AC, which we did not need in September. Would like to know how cool the place is during the summer. Showers are great, kitchen is fully equipped. We do wish there was a closet in the guest room. Prefer firmer mattresses, but I'm guessing most people would find them very comfortable.
Fun to walk along the beach, just be mindful rocks can be very slippery. And the sunsets are truly amazing. Would love to come back.
