WATERFRONT Maine Historical Cottage with Separate Guest Cottage
Built in the 1800s with enchanting water views and cozy decor, this newly renovated cottage is simply a GEM. Huge master bedroom with million-dollar views, and plenty of room for family including a separate guest cottage with separate bath. This cottage is MAINE in all of her beauty. You'll never want to leave! Set in the historic village of Bayside, kid-friendly and quaint - and a 5-minute drive from historic Belfast, where there is shopping, restaurants, and beautiful waterfront walks. It is an easy, beautiful one-hour drive from Bangor Airport. Come experience rest with amazing hikes, rivers, antiquing, amazing restaurants, sailing, fishing, or simply reading on the porch looking over the Penopscot Bay watching the sailboats and lobster pots :) We have lots of favorite spots to recommend! Although the direct access to the beach below is limited due to a steep cliff, it can be accessed at severalpoints within walking distance. And the Bayside Dock in the photos is just a short walk or drive and provides the best swimming, fishing and diving even better than the beach. Rocky coasts of Maine can be tricky to access but there are lots of safe options! The cottage is also almost 140 years old and is not luxurious by any standards..it is basic and has nice fixtures for Maine âcampâ standards but is certainly not a fancy hotel :) Itâs clean and cozy and old which is what we love! Feel free to ask any questions concerning accommodations we love to share any details you may want to know!
The house has charm, and a beautiful view from the living room and back closed porch. We brought our dog and he loved running in the closed off yard and walking around the area. itâs a super quiet and nice spot to stay! With lots of great food and towns in surrounding area. Host was easy to collaborate with and the place had everything we needed.Itâs an old house, and there are a few things to note if you are planning on staying: - no stairs to water, itâs on a mini cliff, and while the neighbouring properties have stairs (they were washed out in a recent storm), this property only has a rope ladder. This didnât bother us to be clear, because a 2 min walk down the street you can access a much easier point to the beach with more space to enjoy. - the main bedroom in the house is up a steep staircase, itâs a bit creaky/crooked, and moves when you step on it. I only share incase you have someone who is unable to walk steep stairs with little arm rail support (one of our guests fit that bill) There are lots of other great rooms to stay in - and we enjoyed the room with the beautiful view.All in all; would stay again!
Wonderful relaxing spot in Bayside. This charming historic cottage was quiet and comfortable, with everything we needed for a peaceful stay. The owner was easy to deal with, very responsive to questions, and accommodated our last-minute plans. Great location for unwinding and exploring the area.
To anyone considering renting this property, please understand the following: while this cottage is on the water, THERE IS NO ACCESS TO THE BEACH, despite the listing pictures which show the beach and a dock for tenant's use, and the listing details stating: private stairs to beach and use of private dock. There are no stairs and no dock. When questioned about this, the owner said: "just use the next door neighbor's stairs." I do not appreciate being told to trespass. As it turns out, there never were any stairs or dock, according to the neighbors. VRBO really needs to find a way to vet listings for accuracy. In addition to the above, the cottage was not opened prior to our arrival at 7:00pm, so, after a 12 hour road trip, we found there was no running water, no heat, many lights were not working, the microwave oven was dead. So, we had to turn on the water, engage the water heaters, swap out dead lightbulbs, untangle the spider web of extention cords to get any light into the kitchen. Once the water was on, we discovered that both the bathroom and kitchen sink faucets leaked. Also, there was no power to the clothes dryer; the "screened in" porch had multiple rips, tears and holes in every single panel and the porch furniture cushions had rust and black mold stains. As if that weren't enough, the house has more code safety violations than I have space to list. If anyone at VRBO is curious, I took lots of pictures and would be happy to share them. Never Again.
Bayside is in an amazing location right on the water with great sea views from the master bedroom, living room and sun room.
The area is a quiet suburban neighborhood which would be great for families and the use of the bikes is a great addition.
The property itself is in need of some updating. Some doors don't shut properly and lots of creaky floorboards...etc.
One of the rooms had not been cleaned on arrival, but communication was great with the owner and the issue was sorted quickly.
Sweet rustic cottage in a wonderful community with a view that cannot be beat! Short walk to beach access and swimming in the bay. We were able to explore both Belfast and Camden from this super convenient location.
Watching lobster boats and sailboats make their way across the bay is just what we wanted from our Maine vacation.
