Timeless Days: Maine Coast Waterfront, Fisherman's Cottage With Deepwater Dock
A small proud home since the 1870's on the Port Clyde waterfront near Raspberry Island looks out on lobster boats at anchor and traditional working waterfront activities. About a 5-minute stroll along winding Horse Point Road takes you to the quaint village general store, post office, and ice cream store.
Purchased by Linda Bean as her own residence for several years, the modest home offers an outstanding deep water dock with seasonal landing float. Perfect for up to 40-foot boat, plus a secondary dock for kayak storage.
Furnishings are Stickley mission style in both living room and waterfront bedroom. All 5 rooms and bath upstairs have a view of the sea except the north facing twin bedroom, which features office hookups and long desktop appropriate for two people. Stacked washer and dryer upstairs for convenience, also clothesline for sunshine fresh sheets and towels. Another small building down the hill for afternoon thinking and late day cocktails provides splendid views of the sunsets from this location.
On a typical Port Clyde postage stamp lot with an old-fashioned one-car garage at top of the hill near the road. Kitchen herb garden with strawberries. Deck for outdoor grilling and relaxation. Indoor heat for cool evenings and year-round living. 1950's kitchen has not been touched with upgrades, original linoleum floor, and no dishwasher. Life the old-fashioned way. The former sunporch is now the dining room with window seat overlooking the grandest view in Port Clyde. Tiled fireplace designed by Linda, who named this location Timeless Days.
As part of our rental application, we do ask for two references from previous rental companies/agents/homeowners etc.
Timeless Day's s a Saturday to Saturday rental.

Property was in a great location with amazing views, and I’m sure they would have been even better if the weather had cooperated! Everything we needed was provided, and it was very well maintained. We really enjoyed our time there.
This property exceeded our expectations in every way. The cottage was full of character and had a million dollar view of the harbor in this small fishing village. The bald eagle visits were a bonus and sunsets were spectacular.
Couldn’t have asked for anything more! Such a beautiful home to spend a week away. Our family felt right at home in the cozy spaces and we all slept soundly. Family game nights in the dining room and watching the snow fall on the harbor… elsewhere cannot compare. Frequent eagle and osprey sightings, a few seals. Great location and a comfortable, simple home. As always, Veronika is a pleasure to work with.
10/10. Incredible views, surroundings, quiet, relaxing, nothing needed except 2 glasses and a bottle. Exceeded all expectations. Thanks for ensuring this home is a home!
Although I had stayed last winter, this was my first time in warm weather and it was wonderful. Stunning views across the islands, lobster and sailboats drifting by, lupines and flowers in every direction. It’s an older home, very well cared for and full of character. The house has everything you could possibly need from lawn games, to beach chairs, fireplace, and a well-stocked kitchen…I love it there - it was very hard to leave!
Spent a cozy Thanksgiving week in this beautiful home. The water views from this home are absolutely stunning. The active fishing village views over the Port Clyde harbor showcased wildlife, clear water, boats and trees. Watched two bald eagles from the wide outdoor focused windows both upstairs and down and from deck. The spacious property has beautiful landscaping, hope too see more of it in the warmer months in the future! The gas fireplace was a cozy feature, especially for November.
Loved the retro kitchen that had everything we needed for a small Thanksgiving dinner for two. The bed was comfortable with a nice desk and sitting area in the bedroom. The single bathroom is upstairs and is clean and well stocked with L.L. Bean linens throughout. The staircase is narrow with taller than standard steps, but has a strong railing and is built to be sturdy.
We enjoyed a short walk to the cute waterside village.
We loved our stay at Timeless Days and hope to come back again.

Excellent...little sea captains house.....
Just a terrific place....thoroughly enjoyed every moment and being close (walkable) to the village was a real plus, about which we had not been aware....
What a wonderful time we had at Timeless Days! The quaint little cottage was full of charm. Clean, comfortable and quiet! We will definitely be visiting again. Fresh lobsters even in December!!
Port Clyde is such a special place!
You won't find many properties like this on the coast of Maine....in perfect condition, spotless, on a fascinating harbor where you can see real lobstermen/fishermen (and women) working, with a simply extraordinary view from both inside and from the lovely deck.
We had an amazing time in Port Clyde and at this beautiful home. Lots of quiet nights at home admiring the sunset and the bay. Would definitely come back and soak in more of the beautiful mid-coast.
A charming cottage with incredible views! We enjoyed walking in and around Port Clyde. The house is cozy and the grounds are beautiful. A special spot!
Great location with waterfront access and walkable to the few businesses in Port Clyde. Spectacular views. It's an older property but well kept. Kitchen well appointed for cooking. Internet was stable and good. Would rent here again happily.
