Great Belfast, Maine rental cottage

The cottage was perfect for our visit. Nicely decorated and ever so clean. The cottage has a great view of the water and it is an easy stroll to the beach. Also, located very close to the downtown area. Enjoyed walking by the harbor and exploring Belfast. The Friday outdoor market and the Saturday indoor market are not to be missed. Last, but not least was the prompt response of the owner for any questions. Would definitely stay there again.

Beautiful pristine cottage

It was wonderful. The size was perfect. The cottage itself was immaculate. We loved the screened in porch and the deck. Even though it was in the 90's while we were there, the cottage remained cool and comfortable. We have already booked it for a week next summer.

Bright, clean, comfortable and convenient!

The cottage is precisely as pictured and described, well-stocked with blankets, towels, toiletries and pretty much anything you might require and Pamela, should you need her, was quick to respond to the couple of questions we had. A particularly noteworthy feature for us was the screened-in porch that we enjoyed throughout our stay. Several hours after we departed and nearly 200 miles away we realized that we left something very valuable in the cottage. We immediately contacted Pamela from the road and she coordinated the safe return of our valuables via FedEx. I not only give 5 stars to the cottage but also to Pamela who really works to provide her guests with a top-notch experience... and she succeeds!

Peaceful retreat

We had such a lovely, peaceful stay at this oceanview cottage in the sweet town of Belfast. Quiet, clean, well- stocked. We had great views of the ocean, sailboats, some distant 4th of July fireworks. Loved the beach access and screened porch. Everything we needed was at our fingertips. Better stocked than most rentals we've stayed in. Close to amenities and sites of interest. Belfast had cute shops and great food. Enjoyed Young's Lobster Pound. Shout out to their amazing staff! Excellently cooked seafood. Though we should have taken Pamela's advice and brought a couple sides, drinks and wine. ;) midway between Camden and Bar Harbour. Just perfect! We had a beautiful time in this cute little cottage.

Amazing Stay!

Spent a week with my family and we had the best time. The cottage was thoughtfully set up with everything we would need including firewood. My kids loved running through the lawn and walking down to the beach. We also enjoyed going into Belfast to explore the shops and food scene. And it was an easy day trip to Acadia! We want to come back next summer.

Coastal Maine Perfection

We loved our stay at this property! It was so clean and comfortable and felt very homey! The view of Belfast Bay from the screened porch was the icing on the cake. We prepared a lot of our own meals, and the kitchen was well-equipped for our needs. The home was in the just-right location for our explorations of Midcoast and Down East Maine.

Beautiful property, beautiful view!!!

This is a lovely little cottage which sits at the top of a slope on a beautiful bay. The only issue we had was a short lived loss of water pressure due to a water main break up the street. The owner was quick to find out where the issue was and let us know the city was working to have it restored. They had it repaired within an hour or so & we were back in business!! The cottage was very welcoming and provided us with all the comfort we needed during our stay. I would highly recommend this owner & this cottage for anyone visiting this area!!

Cottage on the bay

We really enjoyed the views from the deck . The screened in porch is wonderful too. Just the perfect size for the two of us. Belfast is a lovely town and easy to drive around in. We are from a small town so we really appreciate the slower traffic.

Wonderful Week on the Bay

We found this cottage to be perfect for 2 couples to share. We had a clean, comfortable, conveniently- located “home base” as we explored charming coastal towns nearby. We enjoyed morning walks on the beach and evenings on the screened porch. We would love to stay here in the future.
