Port Clyde is the perfect area to enjoy an old fashioned coastal Maine vacation!

Perfect location for our family! We rented dock space from the general store and spent pretty much our full days traveling around in our boat. Not a complicated place to stay.

This house is in an amazing location with a beautiful view of Port Clyde harbor right off the deck. While perfectly comfortable for us as far as space, the house really could use some TLC both inside and out.

Lovely location!

This might have been the prettiest location in Maine I’ve visited. I grew up visiting family in the Moosehead Lake area and it is beautiful. But Port Clyde and the location of this cottage is such a lovely spot. I loved sitting and watching the fishing boats and the Monhegan ferry coming and going and being able to walk to get ice cream, coffee or a lobster roll within a two minute walk. I look forward to visiting again.

Amazingly peaceful!

I love the location, centered in the village! The owner was very prompt in responding to all of our questions, especially since we were the first renters of the season😉 My only suggestion would be to add black out curtains in the bedrooms as the sunrise is really early during the end of May! Perhaps a notebook for renters with common questions/answers…Definitely would book again!!!!! 💕

Simple house on water

This is a simple house with lovely light and gorgeous views. It was lovely to see the tide come in every day. My pooch loved it and went swimming daily. The beds were comfortable. The coffee maker and toaster oven could be updated. It would be ideal if there was another couch instead of three tables in the main living space. Loved that we got netflix and could watch some series we enjoyed and the Wi-fi works great.

Working village without the summer crowds

I was there for a three week period of mostly solitude and enjoyed the changes of fall, the movements of tides, The predawn walks to watch the sun rise at Point Marshall and the variety of birds who also enjoyed the changing tides in the inlet in front of the house as well as chats with the various humans who live and work there, such as Glenn Libby founder of the Seafood Coop. . House is simple, well appointed, could do with a new paint job inside due to some wear and a bit of mildew but otherwise perfect for a simple getaway without being isolated.

Fantastic location.

Excellent waterfront views. Fantastic location. Easy long walks to lighthouse with my dog. Long afternoons on waterfront lawn reading with constant breezes despite the humid weather in Rockland. Bathroom is old and needs to be replaced but small trade off for the location and price. Owner was super, very responsive to our texts. If you need the second bedroom, (we did not), it is very musty and may be an issue for some. If you are fussy and expect a spotless rental, pay much more elsewhere as we did need to clean the bathroom and wipe down all surfaces, but as I said price and location was worth having to do this.

In LOVE with Port Clyde and this little ranch on the water.

My family stayed here in June 2023. We have stayed in Port Clyde before and have always enjoyed it but staying directly on the water was pure perfection. The house worked wonderfully for our family of four. We visit family in Spruce Head, Maine at least once a year and it’s our time for seafood galore. The lobster pot / propane set up was used daily for the lobsters we purchased on the dock. FYI - Lobsters were $8/lb for soft shell during our stay. We walked to Port Clyde Fresh Catch and bought halibut and crab. Took a drive to Weskeag Oyster company and brought back our fill of $1 oysters. There’s an art gallery in a barn-like structure across from the general store that is open a few days a week for happy hour. The walk to Marshall Point lighthouse is such a joy. Thank you Michael for opening your home to us. Thank

Awesome Anniversary Haven

My husband, our dog and I thoroughly enjoyed our week in this little cottage in the heart of Port Clyde! It was our 30th wedding anniversary, and the views from the cottage were stunning at all times of the day. A sea glass hunter’s paradise and the host was super responsive to our needs. A lovely place to walk and watch all of the harbor’s activities. Hope to be able to stay there in the future!

Everything we could have wanted

It isn’t fancy, but Mike never claims it is. Awesome old-school beach house in a delightful location. Yes, it is loud in the morning, but you get used to it. Not for people who want fancy or perfection, but if you like mismatched comfort and a killer view, it’s for you.

Great waterfront location in the village

The positives: We three sisters in our 60s and our small dog really liked the location of this simple house on the water. We went swimming at high tide, took the ferry over to Monhegan for the day, kayaked, and relaxed outside on the spacious deck and lawn with the wonderful shade trees, watching the tides and the boats come and go. We could walk to the grocery store, the ferry, the bakery, and restaurants. The interior of the house is simply furnished and comfortable. The kitchen has everything you will need and there are multiple tables for eating or doing puzzles or playing games. The TV with streaming service was great and the WIFI was good. AT&T cell phone service was spotty, but there is a house phone you can use. The negatives: There is a working warehouse across the street that starts before 6am and is very loud in the twin bedroom which faces it. That is the only reason we couldn't give the location 5 stars. There is no place to hang your clothes in the master bedroom (hooks or a standalone wardrobe would fix that) and there were zero hangers in the twin bedroom closet. There is some ceiling mold and some of the windows won't open and need screens. The lawn chairs should be refurbished or replaced. These are small issues that impacted our stay but we still enjoyed ourselves very much and would recommend the house to others. Mike is a very responsive host and easy to get in touch with. Check in and communication couldn't have been better. Thank you, Mike!

Perfect location!

This cute little house was our home base for a week. It is conveniently located close to Marshall Point and Pemaquid lighthouses, as well as a short walk to the Monhegan Ferry, and Rockland and Camden are nearly. The kitchen is very nicely stocked if you want to cook a meal. The view from the living room window is spectacular. The only downside is there is no closet available for use in the Master bedroom. Otherwise this property checked all of our boxes. There is a wonderful bakery nearby as well as a General store with a wonderful selection of food and adult beverages. The General store also has a cafe. I will definitely recommend this house to those who have mobility issues, everything is on one level and only a few steps to access the house.

Perfect Place to Relax & Enjoy Nature

Property is as pictured. It was a a great location & house very cozy. The constant view of the waterfront was absolutely wonderful. You couldn’t ask for a better location to enjoy the little village of Port Clyde. So enjoyable to go out most days searching for sea glass right at your doorstep. Easy walk to ferry, general store & other places to visit by the water front. Due to the lateness in the season most eating places were closed or limited days & hours. Enjoyed eating at the General Store counter for breakfast though we had most meals at the house. Getting to Rockland was very easy & a nice drive which is where we grocery shopped for our meals. Just a beautiful area. We went out on a recreational lobster boat tour through the Wyeth museum & it was very interesting learning about local history of Port Clyde. Most fun & interesting tour. Michael was very responsive on check in & checkout guidance. My only complaint is we didn’t rent for two weeks instead of just the one.….. Michael thanks for letting us stay at your house.
