Wonderful location

I love Georgetown and Tony couldn’t be situated any better. Such a quiet cottage and right on the ocean. Private road and nearby trails for the dogs. And minutes from Reid state park. Looking forward to future trips here.

A peaceful retreat

My husband and I recently stayed at this rustic retreat for a week. This home is in a great location, very close to the amazing Reid State Park (which the owner provided a pass for) and Five Islands Farm and Lobster Co. Georgetown is a quaint old fashioned town in mid coast Maine, leading to the relaxation we felt. No rush, no fuss. But, Bath is nearby, where everthing can be found. We ate at great restaurants and did some window shopping. We love the thrift shop on the Island!! This vacation, we were here for the views and the down time, which we found at this great rental. We loved sitting on the deck off the downstairs bedroom, which gave us a water view, just reading and relaxing. Tony, our kind owner, was very easy to communicate with. Everything was provided for us, and it was a simple transition from the hustle of life into an easy week. The rental is down a private road, very quiet and peaceful. The house is decorated with so many interesting pieces, it was fun just looking at everything!! Very homey and comfortable. Thank you Tony for your kindness and accomodations! We will see you again!

Quiet Comfortable Retreat

We enjoyed a wonderful, peaceful week at Cottage by the Sea with our 2 dogs. The location is beautiful and quiet but close enough for day trips to Bath, Freeport, and Boothbay Harbor. The pass to Reid State Park was great; we enjoyed several hikes there. The bench overlooking the harbor was our favorite, spent several hours there watching the waves, boats, birds, seals, etc. Tony was a great host, and we would certainly book again!

It was a lovely place, but it could’ve been closer to other things like restaurants, etc.. I like the fact that I could walk my dog off the leash because of low cars.

Beach Vibe at The Cottage

The Cottage provided more than enough to guarantee a great stay. The kitchen was well equipped, including a lobster pot. The bathroom was clean, updated and easy to access. The living area had comfortable couches, chairs and lighting. We did not use the second floor which provided more beds, a desk nook and great water views. Outside provided a deck off of the first floor bedroom, a fire pit and a gas grill. An easy walk to the overlook was a bonus.

Maine cabin

Anthony is a lovely and kind owner and the new deck recently installed is beautiful. The views are spectacular and the cabin is private and quiet. The cabin’s rustic nature is part of the charm but it simply wasn’t clean enough for a rental. Renters are expected to clean the place; it is not professionally cleaned between guests. Post pandemic, this is just not acceptable, at least without prior notice to potential renters.

Just what we needed...

Beautiful views, quiet, and a peaceful place to relax and explore all the coast of Maine has to offer. No frills but exactly what we love about vacationing. Enjoyed the campfire onsite and local state park that was very close. Tony is very lucky to have such a great spot.

This place is truly special!

My stay at the Cottage By the Sea was a joyful experience. The cottage has a unique hand built charm all its own, and its furnishings, carefully hand-picked over time, all seem to have a story to tell. The place really welcomes you in and makes you feel at home. (I highly recommend watching the youtube video!) The wooded surroundings are lovely ~ and the firepit is awesome! I spent ever so much time sitting out on the rocks overlooking Sheepscott Bay, marveling in the view and experiencing both calm and exhilaration in the surge of the waves. Tony is a really fun person and quite a gracious host. Always warm and engaging, he was considerate and immediately responsive to any issues or needs that arose, and provided the extra thoughtful touch here & there to enhance the guest experience. Altogether, my experience of this place has really stayed with me ~ I am so looking forward to my next stay here!

This Cottage was awesome!

We loved staying in this cottage. It was so nice and comfortable. There was plenty of room. The views of the ocean were great. We loved the bench to sit and watch the boats. We liked the nearby town of Bath and did some fun boat rides in Boothbay Harbor. We would love to come back again. Tony was a great host. Thank you. You have a beautiful place !

Goodbye 'Bunks! We're Mid-Coast Vacationers Now!

Tony, we can't thank you enough for the wonderful week we spent in Georgetown. The cottage was perfect and is such a fabulous "base camp" for activities...or place to curl up and relax in its own right. We walked the beach, climbed the rocks, paddled Sewell Pond, went up Higgins "Mountain", walked out to the Squirrel Point Lighthouse, walked the trail to the Kennebec at Berry Woods Preserve, ate our fill of seafood, took a day trip to Boothbay Harbor, spent a day at the Maine Maritime Museum, Popham Beach/Fort, and even enjoyed watching the sun come out and light up the sky as Tropical Storm Elsa moved offshore. But, by far the highlight of the whole week was just sitting on that wonderful bench by the water watching the boats, birds, and seals.

So quiet and peaceful

After the horendous year we've all had, my week at Cottage By The Sea refreshed my body and soul. I had friends join me whom i hadn't seen in more than a year, and we enjoyed the rustic charm of the cottage and the ever-changing light, sound and motion of the sea just a few steps away. The cottage has everything you need and nothing you don't. The beautiful Reid State Park is a 5 minute drive and Tony even provides the season pass! We enjoyed lobster rolls -twice - at Five Islands harbor amd ice cream at Annabelle's. It was a wonderful week. I've already booked my return for next summer.

Beautiful coastal views!

We so enjoyed our stay at Tiny's rustic cabin. The cabin was clean, spacious, well stocked and has beautiful views of the ocean! The short walk to a wooden bench on the rocks offers a lovely spot for viewing and the expanse of rocky shoreline privides a wondetful place to climb and explore. Tony is super friendly, laid-back and helpful and lives next door.

Late Fall in Georgetown ME

The cottage had a wonderful "feel" to it... watching the leaves drop off the trees as I sat at the kitchen table was mesmerizing. I loved sitting on the bench by the ocean's edge.... and trips to Reid State Park were extraordinary... I purchased some freshly shucked oysters at the Georgetown Country Store and prepared some wonderful oyster stew :) Tony was a gracious host and I look forward to my next visit...same time, next year!!!

Nice Cottage on the Coast

This was a nice cottage in an awesome location. The views were breathtaking and we spent most of our time sunning on the rocks by the coast. There is a house close by but you don't hear or see anyone so the location is very private. The beach and good fresh lobster is about 10 minutes away. Bring lots of bug spray for the swarming. aggressive mosquitoes and be prepared to do some dusting/cleaning before settling in. We hope to return next year. Thank you Tony!

About the host

Hosted by Anthony Mirizzi

I am a retired elementary school principal from CT. My wife, also an elementary school principal, dreamed of our Maine home by the sea as our retirement home. Sadly, she passed away in 2011 from complications of the non Hodgkins cancer she was diagnosed with in 2003. I am an Eagle scout and believe in the golden rule, being prepared and doing a good turn daily. These hallmarks have steered me through life. I still have a home in CT which I plan to sell. My son and his wife and two children live in CT. I own a sportscar, a 1963 Morgan, that I should drive more often. At the end of the summer season, the magnificent views and beauty of the coast make it difficult to leave my home in Maine. I enjoy meeting the people and the families who rent the cottage. I am pleased when I see their enjoyment of the cottage. I am always awestruck by the views.

Why they chose this property

When you see this property, its privacy, seclusion, and location on the water, you will understand why we fell in love with it. So have the renters who have stayed here. The guest book and reviews on-line attest to this. It faces east and it's expansive water views are a daily joy.. Each day is wondrous! The house, which sits on ten acres, also came with a quaint guest cottage, that we turned into a rental, 'Cottage by the Sea.' The land adjoining the cottage is undeveloped forest. We are a half mile from Reid State Park and close to the village of Five Islands. We loved that Georgetown is a classic, New England seacoast town that is yet to be spoiled by development or discovered. Georgetown people are truly friendly. The area is a great place to relax and get away from it all.

What makes this property unique

The water views are fabulous. The cottage is a quaint, rustic, upgraded Maine cottage decorated with interesting items. (If you want to taste the flavor of Maine, this cottage is it!) Lots of privacy featured. Second floor deck with views of the water. A pass to Reid State Park comes with the rental.
