About this property

Oceanfront Cottage in Belfast Maine on Penobscot Bay

Surfside cottage sits just 100 feet from the high tide mark on the shore of Penobscot Bay in Belfast Maine. This is rare along the Maine coast and allows you to experience both the spectacular views of the ocean, and the sounds of the coast. Relax to the sound of the surf, call of the loons and harbor bell. Watch lobster boats and schooners pass by from your chair overlooking the bay. All ocean facing walls have windows. Plenty to do right at the cottage; spend the day on the beach, bring your kayaks and set out right from the beach, spend time with your kids in the field or sit or read a book on the porch, patio or front room. Watch seals and loons from the cottage. All the convenience of downtown Belfast is 5 minutes away, while at the cottage you will feel perched on the edge of the bay. The view from the cottage is breathtaking and ever changing. The beach is steps way and great for exploring, sitting or swimming (in season). The cottage is also centrally located for day trips; 1 hour 15 minutes to Acadia National Park, 25 minutes to Camden, 40 minutes to Rockland, and 5 minutes to Belfast center.
This adorable coastal cottage was rebuilt in 2010.

Our stay exceeded expectations. We will definitely stay here again! With the beach and bay right here, and town and hiking all within a 5 minute drive, our only regret was that we couldn’t stay longer!

Surfside @ Wonderview.

Very nice property. Clean and well maintained. Went to Moose Point State Park and found hidden gem at Swan Lake State Park. Great beach and fresh water rather than sea water. Beach at cottage very nice and not too rocky.

A little GEM!

Maybe the best place we have booked through VRBO! This cottage has all you need for a short get-a-way from it all. Belfast is a great little Maine town to stop & explore & the cottage is the icing on the cake. Comfortable digs with all you need & a comfortable bed to end the day. We loved it and easily could have stayed longer!

Great Cittage and Location

This was a great cottage It was clean and well maintained. Everything was labeled and there were written instructions. The owners, Fran and Ellen, provided great communication and information about the attractions and restaurants in the area. The location of the cottage was perfect. Right on the shores of Penobscot Bay.

Serenity

The cottage exceeded our expectations. It was perfectly set up for a family of 4 which include a 7 y/o and 11 y/o. The views were spectacular. The cottage is perfectly located for exploring Belfast, which has many restaurants, shops, and trails to explore. This was our 5th year in a row spending our family vacation in Belfast but our first year staying in this cottage, but we hope not our last. Our family cherishes the days spent at the beach and the evenings playing games or doing puzzles while listening to the waves crash outside the windows.

Beautifully Relaxing

Was just what we needed - my daughter and I spent 8 days relaxing, giggling and making memories. The cottage was perfectly decorated, was well stocked with the necessities, clean and tidy. The owners left easily followed instructions for use of the amenities and left plenty of extra towels. Even had some lightbulbs stashed away if you needed them. Will definitely be back!

Wonderful

What a slice of heaven! The cottage itself was so clean and thoughtfully stocked, and the view is unbeatable! We spent hours on the beach at low tide, and saw only a small handful of other people! Plus Belfast is such a cool spot and a great home base to explore from. If you’re at all on the fence- book it. If I could move in I would!!

Absolutely Lovely

If you drive too fast, you may miss the turn onto Wonderview. But once you make that turn you will see the most charming site of little cottages hugging the coast. This cottage is in the very center, so it has the best full view of the water. This is a perfect place to enjoy Belfast. So cozy and charming, and the hosts were wonderful to communicate with. I want to come back to this place later this year, as Maine is quite beautiful!

Fantastic House Best View in Maine

I cannot say enough good about this house. The location is amazing, you are right on the water. You will for sure see herons and loons and probably seals, eagles, and ospreys. The water in August was actually not bad for Maine, you can swim right in front of the house. Belfast is maybe 10-15 minutes away and is a charming town, Camden and Rockland are maybe 25-30 minutes down the road.

Our Maine vacation

I fell in love with the pictures onsite but the moment I saw it in real life, I want so happy. When the car stopped and i stepped out, the sea air brought back memories of my childhood. All the recommendations we received in a previous email was really helpful for planning our outtings while we were in Belfast. Even the day trips to Acadia National Park and the lighthouses were amazing as per Fran's suggestion. My kids loved it so much that on our day of departure, they wanted to me to rent it again. I think we shall!!
