About this property

Cottage on the Maine coast with stunning views and 245 ft of sandy waterfront

Rustic summer cottage on Penobscot Bay on the Maine coast with 245 ft of
waterfront in the front and more water in the back. The private beach is sandy and has wonderful rocks for children to climb. The views are magnificent with lobster boats, islands, yachts and kayakers dotting the water. The water is cold but the hardy in my family love it!
There is an eat-in kitchen, and a main room with a larger dining table and a fireplace. There is a queen bedroom, a double bedroom and a bedroom with 2 twins. There is a bath with a stall shower and another with a tub/shower. There is a laundry room. A small deck is off the master bedroom and a larger deck in the front of the cottage to sit and watch the view.
There are wonderful restaurants and lobster shacks a short distance away. Take a ferry from near by Port Clyde to Monhegan Island for a day of hiking. Or hike one of the trails on Mt Battie in the Camden Hills. The acclaimed Primo farm to table restaurant is 6 miles away. Visit the Farnsworth Museum in Rockland. There is no shortage of activities for all ages!

Amazing Veiw.

Super cozy cottage, very private, quiet with great views. Exactly what we wanted. Added bonus was the proximity to McLooms Lobster shack for the best lobster roll we tasted in all of Maine. We are already talking about viaiting again next year!

Spruce Head adventure

It is a nice cozy Maine cottage on the ocean. You get to see the lobster boats come in and leave from the front deck. Very clean. Beautiful area off the beaten path but close enough to go anywhere. would love to visit again.

Blue buoy

Blue Buoy is the quintessential Maine camp with amazing views and comfortable accommodations. The private beach was perfect for my 3 and 7 year olds. The days were filled with beachcombing and watching the lobster boats come and go. I would recommend Bluebuoy to anyone who wants a real Maine experience.

Exceeded our expectations

Everything was exactly as described. Clean, warm, cozy, comfortable, very thoughtfully stocked and organized with just about anything you’d need. Add the iconic Coastal Maine views from the house as well as the private beach, the short ride into Rockland for a great meal at one of the many charming restaurants, and you have the perfect getaway.

Fantastic Tranquility

My wife and I, as well as our two adult daughters felt right at home for 2 weeks. We swam and kayaked off the sandy beach, and spent hours talking on the deck. Everyday, we heard the call of ospreys. Neighbors said ospreys were common in the area. The house was impeccable: clean and well stocked with kitchen things. The living room was perfect for games and reading at night. We grilled and steamed. Fresh corn was nearby. Try the Weskeag oysters on Rt 73, as they are unbelievable. Beds and bedrooms were private and comfortable. The morning light streaming across the property is memorable. Susan, the owner, was always available for a consult, although we hardly need her, as everything worked perfectly. We will plan on returning next year.

Great view at a cozy cabin.

What a wonderful water view and private beach. The cabin is cozy and well stocked. If your looking for a big tv, than look elsewhere. But if you want a private, cozy Maine cabin on the water and in the woods, with the sounds of loons and the rumble of distant lobster boats, than look no further. Kitchen had what we needed, internet was fast, and is a great place to warm in the sun or read a book.

Lovely getaway by the sea

Our stay was all that we’d hoped! We had a large party of 6 adults, 3 small dogs, and 1 toddler and yet there was always enough room for all to feel comfortable. The location was great, close to swimming, fishing, great food, and lots to do for the whole family. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to have a relaxing trip away from the hustle and bustle.

Perfect location for us

This a a rural waterfront location near a working fishing community. A commercial lobstering operation is in close view. The property is well stocked for preparing family meals, close enough for a tour to Monhegan Island. The location is great, and we had a great time.

Peaceful, restful experience: just what I was looking for! My daughter and grandchildren were unable to come as planned but my friend and I enjoyed ourselves mostly reading on glorious beach.

Serene Beach Cottage

We had an amazing time at Blue Buoy! Celebrating my parents 40th anniversary the cottage was perfect for 6 adults. It was extremely clean upon our arrival and had plenty of towels, kitchen supplies (including lobster supplies) and other necessities. The beds were super comfy, sheets soft and pillows fluffy. The porch was perfect, with a magnificent view of the water and the road only goes out to one or two other cottages so there was barely any traffic. Great for dogs or kids to wander and play in the yard. Finally- the beach. It’s nearly private (I think we saw two other people on the rocks our entire visit) with lots of rocks and seashells to pick threw as well as some soft sand for yoga or beach lounging. We enjoyed watching the tides and exploring little islands off the coast with kayaks and paddle boards. Be sure to wander down to Mcloons for some seafood snacks during your stay. Definitely a place we will want to return to!
