About this property

Privately owned water view cottage with fabulous views of Penobscot Bay!

Are you looking for the quintessential Maine cottage with views of Penobscot Bay and steps away from the beach? Look no further, Overlook Cottage has two bedrooms and one full bath (newly updated 2023) with two full size beds and one queen bed and sleeps 4 adults or 2 adults with children comfortably. Enjoy views while grilling your catch of the day or dining inside the screened porch. Enjoy the Adirondack chairs on the deck or play an outdoor game on the massive green lawn out front. The cottage has a flat screen tv, Bose Sound-bar, internet for those working remote, screened in deck and full (newly renovated in 2023) kitchen. On those cool nights enjoy our newly installed vented contemporary fireplace while watching the waves outside. We are working to lower our environmental impact and have installed a reverse osmosis water system to avoid plastic water bottles and are using laundry sheets instead of wasteful plastic containers. Be sure to bring your own water bottle for your hikes and outdoor adventures. Enchanting downtown Belfast with its quaint shops and delicious restaurants is only 3 miles away. Guided water adventures, relaxation, golf, and local artists are all just minutes away!

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.

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.

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.

Perect view! Perfect location!

This little cottage was the perfect place for me and my son. Centrally located it was an easy drive to Bar Harbor and Portland ME. We loved the town vibe in Belfast where we went shopping and dining and went antiquing in Searsport. Highly recommend a day trip to Camden as well.

This was our second year here and we will go back next year. The property is immaculate and well sized. The location is perfect. The view of the bay from the screened porch and open deck is worth the price of admission.

Lovely stay

Everything was as advertised. Well appointed- clean and with a beautiful view and porch. We enjoyed our stay very much. Only thing I would recommend is bigger fans for each bed room. There is no air conditioning in bedrooms when doors are closed but is fine with windows open and a good fan.

About the host

Hosted by Pamela Abraham

Host profile image
Hello, I am Pamela, my husband David and our daughter Samantha just purchased Overlook Cottage in May of 2021. Owning a beach cottage in Maine has been a dream of ours and its hard to believe it has finally come true. We fell in love with Belfast and the day we turned into Wonderview Circle and saw the breathtaking views we knew we had found the cottage of our dreams. We have been in the hospitality business for 40 years and truly enjoy giving guests a special place to relax, make memories and feel rejuvenated when they leave. Its a blessing to be able to share Overlook Cottage and we know you will truly enjoy your time here.

Why they chose this property

We chose Overlook Cottage because of the cozy feel of the cottage and the incredible views. We love that you can walk across a beautiful lawn and have private access to the large rocky beach. We love watching the tide go in and out and watching the wildlife and boats throughout the day. Searching for sea glass and unique rocks is a favorite pastime. The community is very friendly and with the quaint town of Belfast only 10 minutes away Overlook Cottage was the perfect place for us.

What makes this property unique

The minute you walk up the steps to Overlook Cottage and look back at the ocean all your worries will be left behind. All the windows along the front have spectacular views of the ocean. The screened porch is perfect for dining, and the oversized deck is perfect for sitting in the sunshine and watching the boats go by. Sit at the dining table and work inside (if you must) or curl up on the couch with a good book. Most days have a beautiful breeze from the water and on clear nights the stars are mesmerizing. Overlook cottage is a special place where memories will be made.
