About this property

Charming Oceanfront Cottage "Sweet Suite"

Recently constructed private "guest room plus" (suite) attached to enchanting seaside cottage. This delightful addition has its own separate entrance and includes a large bedroom with Queen size bed, cathedral ceiling and fir flooring from a historic home. Go down the small, pine-paneled hall and you will find a new bathroom with oversized shower and beautiful pine paneling. There is a pantry which houses a small refrigerator, microwave, toaster and Keurig coffee maker. There is no cooking stove although an outside gas grill is available for cooking upon request. From the outside you enter the suite through a sliding atrium door off your own 8' x 16' cedar deck that faces south and the spectacular view afforded by the Mussel Ridge Channel, Pleasant Beach and numerous islands. This location is visually stunning. Sit on the deck and watch the lobster boats, colorful buoys, birds or occasional rainbow and smell the salt air. If you're lucky enough to be there during a full moon...you'll remember it always. For those wanting to kayak you can launch your kayak directly from our front yard which abuts Pleasant Beach in a sheltered cove of Penobscot Bay. Walking and climbing the boulders strewn along the shoreline are popular pastimes for those who visit this area along with wonderful birding and photographic opportunities. We are situated 100 feet from the bay and 100 yards from the mouth of the Weskeag River, which is a popular attraction for both kayakers and fishermen alike. This property is conveniently located within a 30-minute drive of Rockland, Rockport, Camden and Port Clyde. Nearby attractions include the Farnsworth Art Museum, Owls Head Transportation Museum, several lighthouses and a plethora of shops, restaurants, lobster shacks and art galleries. Mt. Desert Island is but two hours north. Wifi is included. We do not accept pets, and smoking is not permitted on the property. The owners reside in the main cottage during the summer months to remain responsive to renter's questions/needs.

Why stay in a hotel when you can have a real experience Maine in the beauty of this delightful oceanfront cottage?

It's the perfect spot to explore an incredibly beautiful part of Maine. Every inch of this wee cottage is carefully designed to maximize guests' comfort and convenience. And, we could not have had a kinder host who was always willing to provide great recommendations.

Perfect July 4th Getaway

The tranquil coastal location is the perfect setting for a relaxing vacation. The suite has everything needed for a comfortable stay plus an amazing view. Plenty of sightseeing and outdoor activities in the area or just chill by the water in the adirondack chairs. We enjoyed chatting with our wonderful hosts about the area's history and Marc's restaurant reservations were great.

Great Cottage

The cottage was nicely represented by the pictures. It was very convenient and easy to get to all the areas we wanted to go. Marc the owner met us when we got there and recommended a couple of restaurants that were open on Sundays and close by. The cottage was a perfect size for 2 with a nice size bathroom. Even though it was foggy our first couple of days the view was beautiful across the water when the fog lifted.

Nice quiet location

We liked the layout of the suite! The bedroom was facing the ocean and the main door had a sliding screen so we were able to enjoy the view. The hallway was equipped with a Kerrig coffeemaker with pods. The mini refrigerator and microwave came in handy for breakfast items and drinks. The bathroom and shower were nice with amenities. Perfect for one or two adults.We definitely will return!

Beautiful & cozy. Perfect location, easy access and pretty quiet area. We spent our mornings sitting on lawn chairs drinking coffee staring out at Lobsterman with boat, waves crashing into rocks and listening to seagulls. We left bit of our hearts here. Definitely will visit again! The Owner was super friendly and helpful.

Many reasons it’s a great location!

This cottage is a great location as a center hub to branch out daily to see all directions of mid coast Maine. It’s also a great location to return to after a long day of excursions and exploring, to a deck with a beautiful view. Or to hunker down and read while you wait out a rainy morning. And the sunrises are amazing too! The host is friendly and helpful, the room and amenities are just enough for a couple. We really appreciated having this cottage as our “home” this week.

Tenants Harbor

Beautiful location, right on the coast, with a beautiful view of the nearby islands. Located near the end of a dead-end road, there was little or no traffic to spoil the peacefulness. The owner was very helpful and escorted us through the property and described anything that we might need to know. All in all, three perfect days.

Beautiful and peaceful

The room was clean and nicely provisioned; the neighborhood beautiful and very quiet. It was peaceful and felt secluded, though within 20 minutes of nearly every attraction in the area. The hosts were great - friendly and responsive. We were delayed on our travels and arrived very late, but Marc was understanding and left the lights on for us, and we checked in with him the next day. I would definitely stay here again!

A Maine Dream

I loved this little cottage and it was exceptionally clean, right on the water with a beautiful view of islands and the ocean. Would love to go back and stay longer. No kitchen but there is a refrigerator, toaster, microwave and coffee maker. The bathroom was also very clean and had nice hot water. There was plenty of heat in the cottage. Owner was very friendly and nice. He gave me keys but I felt so safe I never locked the door when I was out.

Tranquil seaside retreat

We truly enjoyed every minute at this peaceful seaside cottage. Our gracious hosts provided a warm welcome and insight about the area throughout our stay. The cottage is relatively new, immaculately kept and clean. The location is quiet, serene and very convenient as a central location to so much in the Penobscot Bay area and beyond. The view of the bay and mussel island ridge was stunning with beautiful sunrises and our great fortune to see an incredible rainbow. We loved our stay at this little gem.

Perfect Maine Getaway!

We totally recommend this quiet, safe, homey guest room with an absolutely breathtaking view. Our hosts thought of everything to make our stay comfortable, right down to the homemade quilt on the bed! Marc was very helpful in suggesting wonderful restaurants and stops within the area to make our trip memorable. Our only complaint was the rain that dampened our ability to sit out on the Adirondack chairs and soak up more of the beautiful view of this relaxing location.

The host was there to greet us at check-in and do a brief but thorough walk-through of the space. You absolutely cannot beat the hosts service and attention to detail. My wife and I looked forward to the warm shower at the end of a full day, and the sun rise overlooking the ocean when we woke up. We would stay here 10/10 times. Zero complaints and great recommendations from the host along the way.

About the host

Hosted by Marc Long

Host profile image
We have spent summers in Maine for more than 20 years, and purchased this cottage in 2002 with an eye towards retiring here during the summer months. We have been doing renovations to this alluring little cottage since we took ownership. Our renovations are nearly complete and recently included the addition of a separate living suite in the attached wing. This wing affords us the benefit of using the cottage while ensuring privacy for ourselves and our guests. We are still in the process of repurposing a small building (which was moved from a nearby strawberry farm) for our use as a woodworking shop.

Why they chose this property

Our cottage is nestled among a small community of cottages, most of which have been in the same family for generations. There is history here along with spectacular coastal views. It’s an ideal spot to read, kayak, or simply watch the sailboats and lobster boats.

What makes this property unique

We are fortunate in that our property includes a large, flat open lot directly in front of our cottage. It abuts the beach and is south facing making it a wonderful place to enjoy the sun and the bay/beach. It is uniquely convenient for those wishing to launch and store their kayaks.
