About this property

Charming "Guest Room Plus" in Oceanfront Cottage

Recently constructed "suite" attached to enchanting seaside cottage. This delightful addition has its own separate entrance and includes a large bedroom with Queen size bed, cathedral ceiling and fir flooring from a historic home. Go down the small, pine-paneled hall and you will find a new bathroom with oversized shower and beautiful pine paneling. There is a pantry which houses a small refrigerator, microwave, toaster and Keurig coffee maker. An outside gas grill is available for cooking. From the outside you enter the suite through a sliding door off your own 8' x 16' cedar deck that faces south and the spectacular view afforded by the Mussel Ridge Channel, Pleasant Beach and numerous islands. This location is visually stunning. Sit on the deck and watch the lobster boats, colorful buoys, birds or occasional rainbow. If you're lucky enough to be there during a full moon...you'll remember it always. For those wanting to kayak you can launch your kayak directly from our front yard which abuts Pleasant Beach in a sheltered cove of Penobscot Bay. Walking and climbing the boulders strewn along the shoreline are popular pastimes for those who visit this area along with wonderful birding and photographic opportunities. We are situated 100 yards from the mouth of the Weskeag River, which is a popular attraction for both kayakers and fishermen alike. This property is conveniently located within a 30-minute drive of Rockland, Rockport, Camden and Port Clyde. Nearby attractions include the Farnsworth Art Museum, Owls Head Transportation Museum, several lighthouses and a plethora of shops, restaurants, lobster shacks and art galleries. Wifi is included. We do not accept pets, and smoking is not permitted on the property. The owners reside in the main cottage during the summer months to remain responsive to renter's questions/needs.

Why stay in a hotel when you can experience Maine in the beauty of this delightful oceanfront cottage?

Beautiful and Peaceful
We arrived late and Marc was wonderful to offer dinner suggestions for us in town that night. Marc and his wife Sue were friendly and very helpful with the questions we asked. Even though we were on the same property as them, we saw them as little or as much as we wanted. It was nice to have our privacy as well. We were busy when we were there and wished we could have had more time to visit with this sweet couple. There was an over supply of coffee and creamer, paper towels, toilet tissue, clean towels and trash bags. We stopped at the grocery store nearby to pick up simple breakfast foods and snacks for the day. I would definitely return here if we go back to Maine

The host was there to greet us at check-in and do a brief but thorough walk-through of the space. You absolutely cannot beat the hosts service and attention to detail. My wife and I looked forward to the warm shower at the end of a full day, and the sun rise overlooking the ocean when we woke up. We would stay here 10/10 times. Zero complaints and great recommendations from the host along the way.

Many reasons it’s a great location!
This cottage is a great location as a center hub to branch out daily to see all directions of mid coast Maine. It’s also a great location to return to after a long day of excursions and exploring, to a deck with a beautiful view. Or to hunker down and read while you wait out a rainy morning. And the sunrises are amazing too! The host is friendly and helpful, the room and amenities are just enough for a couple. We really appreciated having this cottage as our “home” this week.

About the host

Hosted by Marc Long

Host profile image
We have spent summers in Maine for more than 20 years, and purchased this cottage in 2002 with an eye towards retiring here during the summer months. We have been doing renovations to this alluring little cottage since we took ownership. Our renovations are nearly complete and recently included the addition of a separate living suite in the attached wing. This wing affords us the benefit of using the cottage while ensuring privacy for ourselves and our guests. We are still in the process of repurposing a small building (which was moved from a nearby strawberry farm) for our use as a woodworking shop.

Why they chose this property

Our cottage is nestled among a small community of cottages, most of which have been in the same family for generations. There is history here along with spectacular coastal views. It’s an ideal spot to read, kayak, or simply watch the sailboats and lobster boats.

What makes this property unique

We are fortunate in that our property includes a large, flat open lot directly in front of our cottage. It abuts the beach and is south facing making it a wonderful place to enjoy the sun and the bay/beach. It is uniquely convenient for those wishing to launch and store their kayaks.
