Absolutely perfect! The cottage was so lovely and relaxing. We felt at home immediately. The beds were really comfortable, the shower was fabulous, the screened in porch was our favorite spot, and the view was fantastic! Pamela was so gracious and thought of everything. Would definitely stay again.

Thank you Kate! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! Please come back and stay with us in the future! David, Pamela and Samantha
This cottage was perfect for my party of 3 visiting the Maine coast. Wonderful view of ocean/bay! Very clean and cozy- plenty of blankets and towels etc. This was close to things to do like Moose State Park and Belfast shops and restaurants. Access to beach walks was 1 min stroll across the lawn. The owner was responsive and this place was so special. We loved sitting out on the screened porch. Thank you!

The best part about this cottage was the great view of the bay from the screened in porch! It was a quiet and peaceful location, but also close enough to Belfast to easily access restaurants and groceries. It was a perfect home base for exploring the mid coast of Maine. Check in was simple and Pamela provided not only necessary, but many extra amenities.

About the host
Hosted by Pamela Abraham
Hello, I am Pamela, my husband David and our daughter Samantha just purchased Overlook Cottage in May of 2021. Owning a beach cottage in Maine has been a dream of ours and its hard to believe it has finally come true. We fell in love with Belfast and the day we turned into Wonderview Circle and saw the breathtaking views we knew we had found the cottage of our dreams. We have been in the hospitality business for 40 years and truly enjoy giving guests a special place to relax, make memories and feel rejuvenated when they leave. Its a blessing to be able to share Overlook Cottage and we know you will truly enjoy your time here.
Why they chose this property
We chose Overlook Cottage because of the cozy feel of the cottage and the incredible views. We love that you can walk across a beautiful lawn and have private access to the large rocky beach. We love watching the tide go in and out and watching the wildlife and boats throughout the day. Searching for sea glass and unique rocks is a favorite pastime. The community is very friendly and with the quaint town of Belfast only 10 minutes away Overlook Cottage was the perfect place for us.
What makes this property unique
The minute you walk up the steps to Overlook Cottage and look back at the ocean all your worries will be left behind. All the windows along the front have spectacular views of the ocean. The screened porch is perfect for dining, and the oversized deck is perfect for sitting in the sunshine and watching the boats go by. Sit at the dining table and work inside (if you must) or curl up on the couch with a good book. Most days have a beautiful breeze from the water and on clear nights the stars are mesmerizing. Overlook cottage is a special place where memories will be made.
