The property is right on Penobscot Bay. There are two decks that overlook the water. The kitchen has good knives, pans, stemware... Everything is well thought out. The place is beautifully decorated and only about ten minutes to Belfast. The second and third bedrooms are quite small. If you like to kyak, taking them out at low tide is tough as you have to carry them over rocky terrain. Overall it's a terrific property if you want a peaceful vacation with breathtaking sunrises.

This cottage is perfect for a quiet relaxing retreat on the Maine coast. The host has provided all the amenities required: a working clean grill, all the kitchen necessities, comfortable seating, comfortable beds! The outdoor decks are perfect even in the rain (bring your raingear—it’s Maine!). The cottage is close to Belfast and Camden as well. We don’t watch much tv, but there’s a well organized dvd collection and the internet is high speed if you need it. And the shower is wonderful!

Perfect place on Penobscot Bay

David was an excellent host and we wanted for nothing. A beautiful cottage on the water in a quiet village in Central Maine coast. Everything was thought of and it was clean with immaculate surroundings.

Family Getaway

The cottage was perfect for our family. It is clean, organized, and provides beautiful views of Penobscot Bay in a quiet neighborhood. Easy drive to Acadia and other places for sightseeing. David provided detailed information about the cottage and surrounding area, which we found extremely helpful, as well as excellent communication when needed. We would highly recommend the Ocean Cottage and would not hesitate to stay again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ocean Cottage. Everything was perfect. The beds were comfortable, view amazing, kitchen was well supplied. We especially enjoyed watching the birds from the back deck, including loons, warblers and even an eagle. It was great having the air conditioner because we needed it at least one day. We enjoyed exploring Belfast and other nearby towns. David was a great host, we would love to stay again!

Beautiful view and great location!

The cottage is immaculate in its cleanliness. The setting is quiet and lovely, and the water view is beautiful. There are delicious restaurants nearby in Lincolnville, Belfast, and Camden. We were able to enjoy the kayaks, too. The cottage has everything you need for cooking in, and there are very good markets in the area.

Great waterfront rental.

We loved how well stocked the kitchen was. Extremely comfortable beds. Close enough to enjoy Maine’s mid coast cities with ease, but remote enough to be quiet and enjoy all the natural beauty of Penobscot Bay.Thank you to David for sending things I left in closet. We look forward to staying again.

Fabulous Maine oceanside cottage

The cottage was a perfect location for a maine getaway. Well appointed and clean with a large deck overlooking Penobscot bay. We could watch lobstermen checking their traps and boats on the bay. The cottage had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The location was quiet and beautifully landscaped. Walk to historic Bayside. Short drive north to Belfast or south to Lincolnville Beach.

Beautiful cottage in the perfect location.

This was the cleanest, best organized property I have ever rented. Perfect location on the water, exceptionally well provisioned and equipped. Cleaner than clean. Very responsive owner but I really didn’t need any assistance. Highly recommend

After many years of utilizing vacation rentals this property would be very near the top of our list. The owner has thought of everything and is readily available to provide information on anything in the nearby communities such as where to dine and shop. This property was very clean and the online information is accurate. The only thing that future renters should be made aware of is that there are some stairs to get from where you must park your vehicle to get to the front door. Nothing to be concerned about for most people but if going up and/or down stairs is an issue, just be aware. We thoroughly enjoyed our week in this cottage and would highly recommend it.

Perfect view and accommodations

The house had everything needed to stay a week and cook in the fully furnished kitchen. We had a wind storm and lost electricity but the generator kicked on immediately. The size is good for two people, maybe three, there is three beds but only one bathroom. Also, only one spot for one car which is just off the side of the road. It works fine for one car. The kayaks were available, but you have to carry them down several sets of stairs to the water and back to the rack to store them each time you use them, too hard for me. The TV has several streaming channels which was very nice, but it was hard to get live local channel TV for weather and news. We figured most of it, but I wish there was an icon for local TV. Location was great, very close to Belfast and all the area activities within a 10-30 minute drive. The house has two decks, one directly off the house and one down the stairs near the water which I loved. Chairs and tables all are covered and very clean. Clean, everything was clean and fresh. House rules make sense. Didn't have to ask for help, but host emailed us to make sure all was ok. Not a sandy beach, can only walk at low tide on rocks. But overall very pleasant and quiet and beautiful view.

Another wonderful stay at Ocean Cottage.

This was our second time staying at Ocean Cottage. It’s a gorgeous home, meticulously clean and organized (anything and everything from board games to extension cords, binoculars, etc). The kitchen has everything you could possibly need if you plan to cook during your stay. We drove to Deer Isle and Sand Beach in Stonington. We highly recommend Sand Beach! Ocean Cottage is a special place and we can’t wait to return.

Wonderful week here...

This is one of the best kept, well organized rental properties that we have ever stayed at in our years of travel. Everything is organized and documented and the kitchen is fully stocked with all the little things that you need when traveling but forget at the grocery store (spices, cooking oil, aluminum foil, etc.) David has thought out every detail. The cabin itself was immaculate and comfortable and the view is spectacular! Great location for exploring the mid-coast area. I would return and do not hesitate to recommend this cabin to others.
