About this property

Privately owned water view cottage with fabulous views of Penobscot Bay!

Are you looking for the quintessential Maine cottage with views of Penobscot Bay and steps away from the beach? Look no further, Overlook Cottage has two bedrooms and one full bath (newly updated 2023) with two full size beds and one queen bed and sleeps 4 adults or 2 adults with children comfortably. Enjoy views while grilling your catch of the day or dining inside the screened porch. Enjoy the Adirondack chairs on the deck or play an outdoor game on the massive green lawn out front. The cottage has a flat screen tv, Bose Sound-bar, internet for those working remote, screened in deck and full (newly renovated in 2023) kitchen. On those cool nights enjoy our newly installed vented contemporary fireplace while watching the waves outside.

Great Belfast, Maine rental cottage

The cottage was perfect for our visit. Nicely decorated and ever so clean. The cottage has a great view of the water and it is an easy stroll to the beach. Also, located very close to the downtown area. Enjoyed walking by the harbor and exploring Belfast. The Friday outdoor market and the Saturday indoor market are not to be missed. Last, but not least was the prompt response of the owner for any questions. Would definitely stay there again.

Beautiful pristine cottage

It was wonderful. The size was perfect. The cottage itself was immaculate. We loved the screened in porch and the deck. Even though it was in the 90's while we were there, the cottage remained cool and comfortable. We have already booked it for a week next summer.

Bright, clean, comfortable and convenient!

The cottage is precisely as pictured and described, well-stocked with blankets, towels, toiletries and pretty much anything you might require and Pamela, should you need her, was quick to respond to the couple of questions we had. A particularly noteworthy feature for us was the screened-in porch that we enjoyed throughout our stay. Several hours after we departed and nearly 200 miles away we realized that we left something very valuable in the cottage. We immediately contacted Pamela from the road and she coordinated the safe return of our valuables via FedEx. I not only give 5 stars to the cottage but also to Pamela who really works to provide her guests with a top-notch experience... and she succeeds!

Peaceful retreat

We had such a lovely, peaceful stay at this oceanview cottage in the sweet town of Belfast. Quiet, clean, well- stocked. We had great views of the ocean, sailboats, some distant 4th of July fireworks. Loved the beach access and screened porch. Everything we needed was at our fingertips. Better stocked than most rentals we've stayed in. Close to amenities and sites of interest. Belfast had cute shops and great food. Enjoyed Young's Lobster Pound. Shout out to their amazing staff! Excellently cooked seafood. Though we should have taken Pamela's advice and brought a couple sides, drinks and wine. ;) midway between Camden and Bar Harbour. Just perfect! We had a beautiful time in this cute little cottage.

This was the quintessential Maine cottage experience and I'm so sad we had to leave this morning! Cozy, clean, with all the modern amenities you need and thoughtful touches everywhere you look. Super soft towels and blankets, lovely soap/lotion, a plethora of books, functional TV (silly but this isn't always the case and we had two football games to watch!), beautiful coffee cups... We didn't get to sit on the porch much but the view was great and the beach was an easy walk. Loved this place so much!

About the host

Hosted by Pamela Abraham

Host profile image
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.
