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!

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.

Clean, fully equipped with everything convenience. Our Host thought of everything we made need in advance to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable.

Ocean Cottage in Northport, ME truly deserves a five star rating. Located directly on Penobscot Bay the sunrise is spectacular. It is on a lightly traveled road providing a peaceful setting. The exterior is well maintained and appealing, with a large deck facing the bay and a small deck at beach level to enjoy the water and watch the changing of the tide.The interior is equally appealing, extremely clean, and nicely decorated. The entire house is well equipped with everything you could need. The kitchen is especially very well equipped with everything we needed when we decided to forgo a restaurant meal and cook for ourselves. The bed was very comfortable and waking to see the sunrise through the bedroom window was an extra perk. We did have one rainy day and staying inside was very comfortable and we could still watch the rain on the bay.We visited two State Parks nearby for hiking and sightseeing. We toured the town of Belfast, an old harbor town with several good restaurants and a well maintained Harbor Walk. The picturesque town of Camden with many shops and restaurants is a short drive away. We also took two trips to Acadia National Park, an hour and a half drive away. Just spending a day relaxing at the house was also a treat.David, the owner, provided details about the house and the area and he responds quickly to any questions. The condition and cleanliness of the house shows that David takes pride in his cottage. He also has taken extra measures to clean and provide single use items where practical to make you feel safe during your stay. We found the people in the area to be cautious and accommodating, so we felt totally safe.
