About this property

2026 COMPLETELY BOOKED. 2027 RESERVATIONS ALREADY STARTED. DON’T MISS OUT !

THANK YOU TO ALL OUR 2026 SEASON GUESTS for allowing us to share the wonders of Sandy Point and 19 On The Bay. “Do not miss out on this “Slice of Heaven”... that is what a guest wrote in their review about what 19 ON THE BAY is !

19 ON THE BAY is just steps away from the Penobscot Bay and a private sandy beach. If you are looking for a cozy, relaxing, New England cottage in Mid Coast Maine with you being just steps away from your own private sandy beach then look no further than 19 ON THE BAY !

19 ON THE BAY is a seasonal cottage that has been fully renovated and beautifully decorated and this one story Sandy Point cottage is ready for you to enjoy. Two bedrooms (queen size mattresses) with ceiling fans, 1 bathroom with a full sized shower, 2 comfortable living areas with sofas and chairs to relax in and a fully equipped kitchen are just a few of the characteristics of this quaint Sandy Point cottage.

19 ON THE BAY is ready for you to come and settle in. A large, flat screen TV/DVD, books, games, soft bedding and towels including beach towels along with extra toiletries if you forgot something all available for your convenience and comfort. The pantry is stocked with Tea Bags, Coffee, Bottle Water, Sugar, Artificial Sweeteners, Creamers, Condiments, and everything you need to make Smores in your private Fire Pit. Enjoy !

As far as your eyes can see is the blue waters of the Penobscot Bay which is just a stones throw away. From the wall of the windows in the four season porch, the kitchen, dining room and living room you get to relax and melt away in the sound and the sight of the waves that rush back and forth on the private sandy beach that awaits your feet in its sand. Even when you wake up and look out the bedroom door your view is none other than the Penobscot Bay.

As sunlight fills the cottage through the bank of windows that surround the cottage and the sea air flows through its rooms you may not want to leave your comfortable surroundings but you would miss so much. Kayaking, fishing, sailing, swimming, day trips to Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park, Fort Knox, eating at Young's Lobster Pound, enjoying the newly open Gastro Pub "Hey Sailor", touring Marine Museum, Antique and Art Galleries. Small towns of Bucksport, Searsport, Belfast, Lincolnville, Camden, and Rockport all bring their New England charm to you with quaint shops, eateries, and beautiful views of the ocean as you travel up and down US1.

19 ON THE BAY provides you with everything you will need to have a holiday that will leave you breathless. Please come and find out for yourself why we call Sandy Point, Maine and 19 ON THE BAY our "little piece of heaven.

This is by far one of my Favorite rentals we have ever been in. It’s absolutely beautiful right on the water. Steve and Carol were fantastic host. They welcomed us when we arrived and gave us a tour of all of the amenities. House was perfect and just as described in the listing. I would stay here again. Clean and so many extra little details that has went into the home. Beautiful sunrise and sunsets. Walking the bay. So peaceful and just what we were looking for. It was a great place to call home for 4 nights/5 days. Right in the heart of Maine. We visited so many great restaurants, hiking trails, Bar Harbor, Baxter state park and some shopping. Highly recommend this place.

19 on the Bay could not have been better! Carol and Steve were wonderful hosts and their place on the water is superb. The house was very clean and well stocked with everything we might have needed. They even supplied fireword and supplies for s'mores by the campfire. We loved sitting outside in the mornings and evenings to watch the seabirds. Our daily kayaking trips on the bay (4 kayaks are available) was so peaceful and we loved spotting a bald eagle, an opsrey with her chicks, and several seals. A whale was spotted in the bay (to which our hosted kindly alerted us) but unfortunately we didn't see it. The location is perfect with only an hour drive to Acadia Nat'l Park, minutes to the Penobscot Narrows Observation Tower (wonderful views) and 25 mins to great restaurants in Belfast. We definately will try to come back to this delightful house on the bay.

About the host

Hosted by Carol Colley

Host profile image

Steve and I own this wonderful, cozy cottage on the waterfront of the Penobscot Bay. Our home is directly across the road from the cottage. We are always available if you need us but if you don't we will stay away and let you enjoy your holiday at this beautiful, homey cottage in Midcoast Maine.

Why they chose this property

19 On The Bay is located on a PRIVATE ROAD with only 13 homes in this coved area called Mill Cove. Penobscot River opens up to the Atlantic Ocean and the cottage is just steps away. Odom Ledge where seals rest is a short kayak trip and a roaring fire in the fire pit on the property is a beautiful way to end your day.

What makes this property unique

Everything ! It offers you a home away from home with everything you will need for your stay. Water, kayaks, fire-pit with S’mores, cozy, warm blankets inside and out, Loons, Seals, Eagles, and you may even have a moose siting!
