Dew Drop 4 Village Cottage, In Port Clyde Village, Lawn & Waterfront
Located directly in the heart of Port Clyde, Dew Drop 4 Village Cottage is a classic Maine coastal home just steps from the harbor, shops, dining, and village life. This is a true in-town stay, where the sidewalk loop, waterfront, playground, post office, church, and local favorites are right outside your door.
The home is part of a traditional Maine cape that has been thoughtfully adapted into two separate residences. Dew Drop 4 is the larger portion of the home, offering multiple bedrooms and gathering spaces while maintaining privacy with its own entrance and parking.
This home is well suited for one or two families traveling together. It also works comfortably for smaller groups who prefer to use the first floor only. As a classic cape, the layout includes multiple rooms with a cozy coastal feel, along with upstairs bedrooms featuring sloped ceilings typical of this style of home.
Entering the home, you are welcomed into a bright and inviting kitchen filled with natural light. Just inside, a small entry table provides a convenient place to set down groceries or belongings as you arrive.
The kitchen features Café appliances, including a French door refrigerator with ice maker and filtered water, a bottom freezer drawer, a double oven range, wall-mounted microwave, and dishwasher. Both a Keurig and standard coffee maker are set up on the counter for easy use. A large dining table at the center of the room offers seating for eight, creating a natural place for gathering and shared meals.
Moving off the kitchen, you enter the living room, which offers a comfortable and inviting space to relax. The room features a comfortable sectional sofa, rocking chair, and windows facing the harbor that bring in natural light throughout the day.
Shelves filled with books and games, along with a smart flat screen television with cable and streaming capability, make this a welcoming space to unwind after a day of exploring.
Also on the first floor is a bedroom with a queen-sized bed, dresser, and bedside lighting. A full bathroom on this level includes a shower and tub, vanity, and washer and dryer, efficiently arranged within the space.
Heading upstairs, you will find additional bedrooms set within the second floor of the cape. The stairs to the second floor are steeper than in newer homes, consistent with a traditional Maine cape and older fisherman’s cottage style.
One bedroom includes a full-sized bed and a window with views toward the harbor and working waterfront.
Another bedroom features a full-sized bed and access to a small private deck with Adirondack chairs, an ideal spot to enjoy the evening air, sunsets, or a quiet moment after the day winds down.
The final bedroom includes two twin beds, a dresser, and shared nightstand, making it a great option for children or guests sharing space.
A second full bathroom is located on this floor, along with a linen closet for additional storage.
A single portable air conditioning unit is available on the second floor to provide added comfort during warmer summer days. This is a floor-style unit with a window venting system and can be set up in a bedroom or the bathroom, with doors left open to help circulate and cool the second-floor living space.
Outside, the property offers a large shared lawn that extends to the water’s edge. This unit has its own dedicated outdoor setup, including Adirondack chairs, a fire pit, and a grill.
A small shared garage space is available on the property where you will find beach chairs for your use, along with space for storing bicycles or other personal items during your stay.
The setting is especially inviting, with views of the working waterfront, boats coming and going, changing tides, and beautiful sunsets. The open lawn and natural light make this a favorite place for relaxing, reading, painting, or simply enjoying the coastal setting.
This is a tidal waterfront property. At low tide, the water recedes and exposes the natural mud flats, while at high tide the harbor fills in again, creating a constantly changing coastal landscape.
The property includes access to a shared boathouse on the water, offering another place to sit, read, write, or enjoy cocktails while overlooking the harbor.
Just down the road, you can purchase fresh lobster directly from local fishermen and bring it back to prepare at home.
As this is a shared property, guests may occasionally share the lawn and waterfront areas with guests staying in the adjacent unit. The home is located along Co-op Road, where you may hear early morning activity from local fishermen, along with the natural sounds of the nearby playground and village life.
This home is designed to be enjoyed year round. In the summer, the lawn, waterfront setting, and village activity create an inviting outdoor lifestyle. In the fall, the landscape shifts with changing leaves and coastal light. In the colder months, the home becomes a comfortable and cozy retreat, perfect for gathering indoors, playing games, working on puzzles, reading, or simply slowing down together.
Around the Fourth of July, you may see fireworks from the surrounding harbor area. These are typically set off by local residents and can appear in different directions across the water.

This was the second time we stayed at this property. The view is beautiful, especially the sunsets! It is a quiet area.The house is very clean and has comfortable and stylish furniture. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you would need to cook. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here for a third time!

We loved our stay! The house was clean, and beautifully decorated. The view from the yard was the most beautiful view every day and night. The town was darling and the kind, friendly people of Port Clyde were something really special.

Perfect Seaside Cottage
My family loved this cottage. Can't say enough positive things. Comfortable, Decorated beautifully. A special treat watching sunset at end of every day! Plan on returning next year!
Wonderful in-town units. When a difficult issue arose, they handled it beyond our satisfaction and we had a wonderful stay. Have stayed here before, and will come back again.

We really enjoyed our stay in Port Clyde with our three kids and our dog. The cottage was wonderfully located and walking distance to kayaking, ice cream, and a couple of dining options. We enjoyed a couple of dog walks to the lighthouse with a stop for fish from the fishermen’s co-op on the way home. The property is well decorated and very pleasant inside.

We enjoyed our stay immensely. What a fantastic spot. One small problem was the odor from water heater which was pretty bad. Otherwise I would say perfect.

This was an adorable house with just the right amount of room for 2 families
This picturesque house is just down the street from the yummy ice cream store and village shop/restaurant. We enjoyed the view from the balcony in the mornings. The only thing that would be helpful would be to have some beach towels and portable beach chairs for trips to the beach, but all in all, it was great. Thanks for letting us enjoy Port Clyde!

This property is the perfect combination of being in the middle of an active fishing village and also being very peaceful. Activity in the harbor is interesting to watch, but fairly quiet. Easy walk to the town dock area. The house, lawn area and boathouse were fabulous, clean, great views at all times of day. I hope we can come back again next year!

Maine, the way life should be!
That's what the sign says when you cross into Maine at the border of NH. This is the place they are talking about. Port Clyde is a sweet spot and Dew Drop Cottage is everything you'd want a cottage to be in Maine....including fabulous sunsets!
For me, Port Clyde is a calling. I've brought everyone I love here to share the beauty of Maine life. This trip my daughter said she wanted to move here! What an affirmation, c

Thank you for your review and for staying with us!
We just finished our 2nd visit to Dew Drop 4 and were every bit as charmed with it as we were last year. The location is fantastic: It’s an easy walk to a well stocked general store (including liquor!), a lovely little coffee shop, two restaurants and an ice cream parlor. We also walked several times to a great little sandy beach -- there are plenty of beach chairs available with the house. And there’s even a bit of night life at the Barn a few nights a week. The best part about this location is the large lawn on a cove facing west for glorious sunsets.
However, amenities and location matter little unless the property management is prompt and responsive. Veronika exceeded my expectation with every inquiry. We has a minor appliance issue that was resolved early the next morning. Another call for extra coffee cups had more delivered within a couple of hours. She responded to any question I posed almost before I’d logged off. Kudos to the whole team!

We truly enjoyed our stay in Port Clyde. We were blessed with wonderful weather in a wonderful location and comfortable accommodations.
Dew Drop 4 was a perfect vacation home for us along with friends who visited throughout our stay. The property and location allowed us to enjoy beautiful sunrises and sunsets, purchase fresh lobsters at the end of the pier and enjoy the quaint Port Clyde community. Walks to Marshall Point Lighthouse, Drift Inn beach, and surrounding neighborhoods gave us the flexibility of getting in our daily exercise while enjoying the beauty of the area.
The check in process was seamless. Check in Materials provided were comprehensive, providing easy to follow renter guidance and extensive info on 'things to do'. Our host was responsive to questions. Only surprise for us was the request for renters to wash and dry all the bed linens and blankets before checking out. With a 10am checkout this creates a timing issue on the last day. As a result we decided to leave the day prior in order to have the time needed to do laundry and pack up for departure.
When considering the price of the rental I would have thought the management co. would handle linen changeover. I do not recall finding this guidance in the online listing information. Overall we had a wonderful stay.
