About this property

Sea Sparkle: Sunny Village Cottage With Artist Studio And Panoramic Ocean Views

Panoramic saltwater vistas from every room in this little 2-bedroom home on a winding harbor road. Also, an attached artist shed.
Formerly the home of Gertrude Cook, her kitchen work area has been preserved in tact including spatter painted linoleum floor.
The aroma of many a pie wafted from Gertrude's oven over the cove where her son, Blaine, operated a lobster buying wharf. Her attic has been constructed into an idyllic queen bedroom, new bath, and connecting studio with ocean views. Downstairs there's a cozy bedroom off the living room, with full size bed, desk, bureau and closet. The downstairs bath features tiled floor and an exhilarating rainbow shower. Relax with friends in the living room and farm style kitchen which adjoin with sunshiny warmth and welcoming atmosphere. Wall TV in the living room for times when you are not outside walking this seaside road to the village, about a 7-minute stroll, or sketching at the working lobster wharfs minutes away in the other direction.

This house rents on a Saturday to Saturday rental schedule.

Great house. We had a very comfortable stay. The home is really well decorated. Comfy, quality linens. Gorgeous view to enjoy from most rooms in the house. Convenient walk into town. The host was very helpful and had information well laid out for us so we never had questions. We love Port Clyde and will definitely return.

Sea Sparkle was lovely, well maintained and a beautiful property. Last year we stayed at a nearby property with the same owner and same manager and also had a similar great experience. The LL Bean linens, towels and rugs were superior. The weather was warm this trip so the three high quality fans that were provided with the house were much appreciated. The large picture windows in the kitchen and the primary bedroom were gorgeous and faced the water. This time we stayed for two weeks and enjoyed the beautiful views and the nearby walkable village of Port Clyde with its General Store, Squid Ink Coffee, The Red Barn, The Dip Net, Monhegan Boat Line and Village Ice Cream. The Marshall Point Lighthouse was also a short drive away.

We’ll return to Port Clyde, a little gem of the St. George Peninsula, and we especially look forward to regular visits to the Drift Inn Beach and the Hedgerow Market and Gallery. While we enjoyed our stay at the Sea Sparkle cottage, there are a few aspects worth sharing for those looking to book this property.—The heart of the house is the kitchen, with a large picture window that leaves lodgers fully exposed to pedestrians and drivers, at all times. Food and drink are not allowed in the living area, but there is ample seating outside.—Advertised as ‘sleeps 4’, the property seems best suited for a single person or a couple. The main bedroom is an open loft whose ensuite bathroom lacks the privacy of a door. There is a limited allotment of linens and glassware, e.g., exactly 4 towel sets, 4 water glasses, and 4 wine glasses. The host does not offer additional bedding or supplies. Also, although ‘pet-friendly,’ pets are forbidden on the furniture and must remain on leash outside.—Finally, check-out is made hectic by the requirement that towels and sheets be washed, dishes done and put away, stove and fridge cleaned, and floors swept and vacuumed—by 10am, no exception.

We had a great time this week. The views from the house were spectacular - the road was quiet and peaceful. The house was a pleasant mix of old and new with vintage and original furnishings mixed with new conveniences. Comfortable furniture and arranged to afford the best views. Kitchen stocked with necessary equipment. Thanks so much for a great place to stay!

Sea Sparkle Cottage SPARKLED!

We had an absolutely amazing time stargazing, beach-going, and lobster-eating. The cottage is charming and very well-appointed. It is quintessential Mid-Coast Maine. Perfect! We will rent this cozy home again.

Beautiful October week in Port Clyde

We had a wonderful and peaceful stay at the cottage. The house was so clean and spacious. The kitchen had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable. There is very little traffic on the road and the view of sunrises and sunsets was amazing. We enjoyed the quiet. If you like stargazing, the outdoor seating is perfect for taking in the Milky Way. It is easy to walk to town for a meal or supplies. Nearby are many hiking trails and other places to visit. I would go again.

Another Peaceful Getaway in PC

This is our third time staying in Port Clyde. It's a small quaint, peaceful community. I love walking to the general store and taking in the beautiful views. The rental was super cute and had all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay while still having a vintage, old fashioned decorative items from days past.

One of our favorite spots

The views from this spot are breathtaking, it never gets old. The home was comfortable and appreciated the supplies on hand; soaps, seasonings, paper towels etc. helps to eliminate too much to pack. The neighborhood is quiet and a great place to walk and close to downtown port Clyde. We appreciated the excellent communication with the property manager as well.

Beautiful Retreat

My daughter and I literally cried because we had to leave. We extended our already booked 2 week stay to 3. I knew when we arrived we’d want more time there. Veronika is on her game. They provide all that you need for your stay including linens, toilet paper, paper towels, soaps and kitchen items. The kitchen decor brought back so many childhood memories. The house is situated on a gorgeous inlet. Herons, and eagles were frequently spotted there. There’s a walkable beach where every day a herd of seals feed and play. You can watch the active harbor with the lobstermen coming and going and appreciate the long hours they put in. Amazing all around.

Maine Thanksgiving adventure

The house is very quaint. Generally the home was clean, updated and decorated nicely. Unfortunately the kitchen area could use an upgrade. The pots and pans were barely usable. Very scratched and unclean on the inside. It was surprising to not see a dish washer. Additionally the water pump broke down in the middle of the stay which also caused an issue with the electric. We were without water and had partial electric for one evening. The management Co offered to relocate us but we picked this location because my family had rented the house next door. I suppose the chance you take when renting an older home. They were quick to make the repair which we appreciate but it did cause an inconvenience for the next day regarding showers etc. Generally though this was our third trip to Maine. It is a beautiful State and the area we were in was very nice. We will definately return.
