KenMa Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Experience the serene vacation off the grid you've always wanted at KenMa Cottage. This oceanfront home is about peace and quiet, the kind that comes from sitting on a deck overlooking the water and reading a book or walking along rocks smoothed by the sea. A place where time is only measured by the tides, lobster boats coming in from the haul, or the sun sinking behind the spikey pines across the water.

Kendrick Marshall (or KenMa, for short) ran the Port Clyde General Store in the early 1900s and manned the village’s post office. His ancestors still own the cabin and are making it available to people outside the family for the first time in more than 50 years.

Several renovations in the 1980s include an eat-in kitchen with an electric stove, sink, refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker, a small bathroom with a shower, and a cozy bedroom. The covered deck is just feet from the shore and overlooks the many islands of Muscongus Bay. In the mornings, lobster boats work nearby; in the afternoons, sailboats and kayaks glide by on silver waters. Great books, good conversation, strolls along the shore, and walks to the village replace the need for electronics.

Charming, cozy, cottage, spectacular sunsets, a prompt service
I loved the cottage -- very simple, relaxing, in a remote waterfront location. To me: a cottage. To my partner: a shack...but very nice shack. The fireplace threw out enough heat to keep us cozy in the mornings and evenings (late Sept visit). When it was time to leave, our dog stretched out on the grass, his expressive eyes saying "Are you guys serious? Why are we leaving?" On the not so great: the tap water was too salty for drinking/not potable. We were not prepared for this; however, the management promptly delivered 5-gallon jugs. We brought our own firewood to keep us going for a few days...then hunted down expensive little bundles.

Wonderful Cottage
The cottage has a wonderful vintage vibe) We enjoyed our stay using the Porch allot with the Seaside View and used the fireplace at night. This stay is nothing but relaxing, curl up with a good book) Use binoculars for watching the Fisherman and viewing sailboats. The local people are so friendly. There are lots of art galleries to poke around in) And the Port Clyde General Store has good prices for Lobsters. We were there a few times. This will be a do over vacation!

The perfect place to relax!
Everything about this cottage helped us to relax. The view was a amazing and we spent plenty of time just sitting on the comfortable chairs on the porch reading, watching the water and wildlife. The decor is charmingly spare. We enjoyed a fire several nights as the weather was still cool in June. We found the bed to be very comfortable and slept so well in the peace and quiet. The bathroom is simple but adequate. We had an issue with the sink and communication was prompt. The walk to town is easy so this is a place that you could just park your car and not have to drive anywhere for days.

Peaceful retreat
Once again, my stay at KenMa was fantastic. The serenity of this cottage is unbeatable. My only disappointment was that there was not 1 stick of firewood available upon my arrival to take the damp chill away.

Magical KenMa
We had a wonderful stay at the KenMa cottage. It is absolutely magical and tucked away in a perfect, quiet location on the coastal fishing waters of Port Clyde. A short drive to everything you need in Rockland, Rockport or Camden. You’ll feel worlds away. We’ll be back!
