This was a solid 5 star, charming, and beautifully maintained property. The owner is extremely communicative, and is committed to ensuring that his guests have an enjoyable stay. One of the finest features was being close to the footbridge into Belfast. We walked in and out of town a couple of times each day.

Cozy cottage in a great location with a wonderful view. Easy and scenic walk to downtown just over the footbridge and the nearby rail trail is great as well. Views of the working shipyard are a plus. Appointed with all the basics and great communication with the host. Expansive deck that must be extra nice in summer. Great stay!

My colleagues and I had an excellent stay!
The accomodations were top notch, spotless and beautifully maintained. We found the house to be an excellent spot for a BBQ as well as walking distance to some great eateries (Young's Lobster Pound, Darby's, Dockside) and colorful local pubs (Rollies, Three Tides, the Lookout.) Dennis was a pleasure to deal with and I hope to do business with him again when the opportunity allows.

We are two retired couples and we had a perfect visit to Belfast. Nothing has been overlooked in this sweet property. It is super clean and cozy and equipped with everything you need in your home away from home. Great location with a lovely harbor view and the walk across the bridge into town adds to the charm.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The beds were very comfortable and each bedroom had it’s own AC. I used the sound machine provided to de-energize every night. It is obvious the owner cares about your stay, as he checks in with you during your stay. Sweet spot for Mid-coast Maine vacation!

Great location, nice home, very clean
Loved this home! A short walk to the foot bridge and across to downtown made this the perfect location. Views of the water from virtually every window. The home was very well appointed with everything we needed for our stay and was very clean! We plan to return in the future. The owner was very helpful and responsive to any questions.

HI Ann: Kerry and I are so glad you enjoyed your stay in our Maine home and your time in Belfast. We strive to make our guests comfortable and to have all the items one would need while away. Our cleaning crew takes great pride in staging the house for each and every stay. Belfast is such a great coastal town. The Footbridge, Harbor Walk, and the new Rail to Trail (all within minutes from our house) make it easy to enjoy all of Belfast. Look forward to hearing from you when you are back in the area.
Best Regards,
Dennis and Kerry
The location and the facility were superb. The proximity to the foot bridge and trail was a big plus allowing us to walk to downtown Belfast as well as on the nearby trail. The view of the port was fantastic day or night. The proximity to the downtown allowed us to be in the town but with a country feeling. The way the bedrooms were situated afforded us the privacy of using the second floor while our guests used the first floor bedroom/bathroom. We would definitely like to return. Dennis is a wonderful host.

This was an awesome place to stay. Very clean, nice decks, over the top furnished. Besides food, it had everything you need. Everything from towels to shaving cream, shampoo to books, you couldn’t ask for more. The view were great. Location was perfect. Can visit the nice town of Belfast right across the harbor walk bridge which is right there. It is located so we drove to Nar Harbor (twice) Acadia national park and then Portland for great sites and light house. Dennis communicated through the entire process and great advise for locations all week.
Great Stay!

Adorable Cottage on Route 1
Clean neat and plenty of space. Kitchen fully equipped with all the little things you appreciate from home...sharp knives, hand mixer, blender etc. Deck is awesome and view of Belfast Harbor is so pretty and quaint. What I wish I knew and didn't is that the back of the house is literally on Route 1...Constant truck, truck brake and traffic noise day and the night.

Beautiful location, all the details
This is a great central location to everything up and down the coast. The house is well equipped and super clean. Sheets/beds/pillows very comfy. Loved the walk over the water into town. The ONLY drawback is that it is right on Route 1 and you can hear a lot of cars/trucks/traffic on the weekdays. It would not prevent me from booking again though- was super easy access to get to everything, including grocery store, etc. Dennis was super easy to work with and flexible on our arrival/departure time as well. Was a great trip.

HI Jennifer:
We are so glad that you and your family enjoyed our Maine house and your trip to Belfast! The house provides such terrific and relaxing views of the harbor from the two decks as well as a centralized location to begin short treks around the area. Janis Stone, the award winning interior designer, has done a fantastic job and keeps our house well appointed and comfortable.
We purchased the house over a decade ago, and had to take into account the proximity of the house to Route 1 and the beautiful views the property afforded of the harbor as well as the short walk down to the footbridge into town. Over the years we have planted several large evergreens, three river birches and other tall shrubs that shield the cottage from the main road. We usually have the air conditioner window units running during the summer months as well, and this was the first week we removed them. This tends to alleviate the sounds of cars on those busy weekends in the front of the property as people travel through Maine's coastal towns.
We hope to see you back on your next trip.
Best Regards,
Dennis and Kerry
Lovely home, nice walking distance from village of Belfast. However, property backs up onto US 1, which makes it very noisy a night. This should not be a problem for persons accustomed to road noise but for the rest of us it unfortunately is a problem.

Thanks John for your comments and i hope you enjoyed the stay.. When we purchased our home over 14 years ago we did extensive landscaping work to help shield our home from Route 1. Along with the air conditioners we hope to minimize the sound from Route 1 in the mornings and early evening so our guests can take advantage of the wonderful views of the harbor from both decks. and our quaint home.. It was great to hear that you enjoyed our supply of books we have at our home.
Best Regards,

This is the second year that my parents, daughter and I rented from Dennis, and if possible this stay was better than the first! The house was absolutely spotless and the check-in process was a breeze. The house is well furnished with ACs throughout.
Where we spent our first summer exploring further out (Acadia, Castine, Rockland) this year we chose to stick closer to home to better experience what Belfast has to offer. The town has great restaurants, shops, and our favorite beer garden, all within walking distance. There’s a really nice golf course in neighboring Northport. We spent a lot of time reading, relaxing and enjoying the beautiful views from the deck of our home.
I would definitely recommend Dennis and his beautiful home to anyone looking to visit the Belfast area.

Pleasant stay at charming harborside cottage
We (myself, my wife, and 2 kids) enjoyed a wonderful stay at Dennis' cottage overlooking Belfast Harbor. The cottage's location, although near the main road, made for easy access up and down mid-coast Maine. We ranged as far south as Owl's Head and as far north as Bucksport, and were able to enjoy a number of the attractions in the area, including Fort Knox, the Penobscot Narrows Observatory, Belfast Harbor, Camden, Rockport, Rockland, and Birches Point State Park. Also, who can forget being able to walk across the footbridge, which we took advantage of almost daily to enjoy the beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Dennis and Jim made our stay comfortable and quickly remedied the few issues we faced. Dennis also provided helpful suggestions for area dining venues which we took advantage of (e.g., Camden Deli and great view on 2nd floor deck). The kids didn't want to leave towards the end of the week and we would definitely look forward to returning again!

Top Condition Cottage, Top Location, yes, there is some road noise
Dennis is a superb landlord, bending over backward for us as our plans shifted with COVID travel issues.
The cottage is clean and fresh. We've stayed for many years in various rentals; sometimes the "Maine shabby chic" style is truly shabby. This cottage is of the style but not shabby - it is clean and fresh.
The location can't be beat - walk to downtown, walk to Young's Lobsters, short drive to the supermarket.
The wraparound deck is where we spent most our time - wonderful, and again, not worn or splintery.
A super plus is the AC. Not many Maine cottages have it, and when it is hot, a cottage can retain heat and make you miserable.
There is road noise in one bedroom and the bathroom, but AC and sound machine obliterate it.
Highly recommend.

Harbor Watch Getaway Vacation
In August ,2011 we spent a week at Harbor Watch cottage in Belfast, Maine. Being from Dallas, we were anxious to get out of the heat, relax and enjoy some local lobster. My husband and I, daughter and 13 year old grandson thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Harbor Watch. The cottage was very clean and comfortable and had all the amenities we needed. The owner was very accommodating and checked in with us a couple of times to see if we had everything we needed. The city of Belfast was charming, and we enjoyed walking over the footbridge into town. There were two decks overlooking Belfast Harbor and we often sat outside to enjoy the view and peaceful setting. Our favorite dinner was bringing home 2 pound lobsters from Youngs Lobster Pound and eating at the cottage. Places we enjoyed visiting were Camden, Lincolnville, Rockland and Acadia National Park. We would love to go back to Maine in the future and highly recommend Harbor Watch as an excellent place to vacation!

About the host

My wife and I purchased this beautiful home several years ago, and look forward to spending a great deal of our retirement years here. We hope our guests enjoy our home as well as the town of Belfast and the surrounding areas as much as we do!

Why they chose this property
The property is set up nicely for either one couple to enjoy or up to six guests. The large deck, which several Adirondack chairs that face the harbor make it for a very relaxing time. The house has been decorated by award winning interior designer Janis Stone.
What makes this property unique
The house is located near the footbridge, which provides access to the Main Street and the Belfast water front. The short walk over the footbridge provides spectacular views of the harbor. On the west side of the footbridge, the new rail to trail providers walkers, runners, bike riders a peaceful venue to enjoy views of the harbor as well. Belfast is located very close to the towns of Camden, Northport, Lincolnville, Searsport. There is a beautiful maritime museum in Searsport. Moosepoint State Park is a 3 minute drive to the north, and Fort Know and the Penobscot Observatory is a 15 minute drive to the north.
The town has such a quaint feel to it. There are several restaurants to visit, some on the waterfront and a few on Main Street. All very casual and perfect for a couple or families.
We have a good collection of books and movies for our guests to enjoy during their down time.
