About this property

DON’T MISS OUT BEING ON THE WATER. Time to book FOR FALL

THANK YOU TO ALL OUR 2024 SEASON GUESTS for allowing us to share the wonders of Sandy Point and 19 On The Bay. “Do not miss out on this Slice of Heaven”... that is what a guest wrote in their review about what 19 ON THE BAY is !

19 ON THE BAY is just steps away from the Penobscot Bay and a private sandy beach. If you are looking for a cozy, relaxing, New England cottage in Mid Coast Maine with you being just steps away from your own private sandy beach then look no further than
19 ON THE BAY !

19 ON THE BAY is a seasonal cottage that has been fully renovated and beautifully decorated and this one story Sandy Point cottage is ready for you to enjoy. Two bedrooms (queen size mattresses) with ceiling fans, 1 bathroom with a full sized shower, 2 comfortable living areas with sofas and chairs to relax in and a fully equipped kitchen are just a few of the characteristics of this quaint Sandy Point cottage.

19 ON THE BAY is ready for you to come and settle in. A large, flat screen TV/DVD, books, games, soft bedding and towels including beach towels along with extra toiletries if you forgot something all available for your convenience and comfort. The pantry is stocked with Tea Bags, Coffee, Bottle Water, Sugar, Artificial Sweeteners, Creamers, Condiments, and everything you need to make Smores in your private Fire Pit. Enjoy !

As far as your eyes can see is the blue waters of the Penobscot Bay which is just a stones throw away. From the wall of the windows in the four season porch, the kitchen, dining room and living room you get to relax and melt away in the sound and the sight of the waves that rush back and forth on the private sandy beach that awaits your feet in its sand. Even when you wake up and look out the bedroom door your view is none other than the Penobscot Bay.

As sunlight fills the cottage through the bank of windows that surround the cottage and the sea air flows through its rooms you may not want to leave your comfortable surroundings but you would miss so much. Kayaking, fishing, sailing, swimming, day trips to Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park, Fort Knox, eating at Young's Lobster Pound, enjoying the newly open Gastro Pub "Hey Sailor", touring Marine Museum, Antique and Art Galleries. Small towns of Bucksport, Searsport, Belfast, Lincolnville, Camden, and Rockport all bring their New England charm to you with quaint shops, eateries, and beautiful views of the ocean as you travel up and down US1.

19 ON THE BAY provides you with everything you will need to have a holiday that will leave you breathless. Please come and find out for yourself why we call Sandy Point, Maine and 19 ON THE BAY our "little piece of heaven.

The grounds, beautifully manicured, the beach and view a joy. Friendly neighbors on the beach. This place is peaceful; perfect for quiet living people, but kayaks available for those more adventurous. Loved every minute!

We had a wonderful relaxing time at 19 on the Bay. It is a beautiful, peaceful paradise. This was our second visit to the cottage on the bay and likely not our last. On this visit, we spent most of our time enjoying the beach and the cottage, cooking our own meals and sitting by the fire in the evening. Shopping and restaurants are nearby. You won't get a better view anywhere than at the table overlooking the bay.

My husband and I and our adult son enjoyed four days at this incredible place! The home is beautiful and cozy and well stocked. Communication with the host was excellent. We especially enjoyed sitting in the Adirondack chairs in enjoying the view. The kayaks were also a nice touch and we enjoyed paddling in the bay! We went to Bar Harbor and also hiked in Acadia national park, which was only an hour drive away. We also went down to Camden one day, which is another picturesque Maine village!

About the host

Hosted by Carol Colley

Host profile image
Steve and I own this wonderful, cozy cottage on the waterfront of the Penobscot Bay. Our home is directly across the road from the cottage. We are always available if you need us but if you don't we will stay away and let you enjoy your holiday at this beautiful, homey cottage in Midcoast Maine.

Why they chose this property

19 On The Bay is located on a PRIVATE ROAD with only 13 homes in this coved area called Mill Cove. Penobscot River opens up to the Atlantic Ocean and the cottage is just steps away. Odom Ledge where seals rest is a short kayak trip and a roaring fire in the fire pit on the property is a beautiful way to end your day.

What makes this property unique

Everything ! It offers you a home away from home with everything you will need for your stay. Water, kayaks, fire-pit with S’mores, cozy, warm blankets inside and out, Loons, Seals, Eagles, and you may even have a moose siting!
