The perfect Maine coast cottage! Moonlight Cottage was a wonderful place to stay. The setting was simply magical. Mornings and evenings on the water were our favorite times of day. The cottage itself is impeccably furnished and incredibly cozy and comfortable. It had everything we needed. The location was ideal for exploring this part of Maine. We absolutely loved our stay.

This was our second stay in Moonlight Cottage and hopefully won’t be our last. The location is perfect for watching sunrises and sunsets, sailboats and seals, kayaking (rentals from Port Clyde Kayak), walking into Tenants Harbor for coffee/breakfast (Wharfside Coffee) and driving to nearby Rockland and Rockport for dinners at Suzuki’s and Nina June’s. The cottage is clean and the kitchen is well-equipped. It’s ideal!!

This cottage was perfect for experiencing the coast of Maine: private setting near a lobstering harbor, expansive views with beautiful light at daybreak and dusk, and placed near the water for reading, conversation, reflection, or simply taking in the horizon. One bonus we enjoyed were the superb kitchen appliances (e.g. stove, coffee maker, microwave). We loved this place and took lots of photos to remember our stay.Steve

Maine home away from home

This is a beautiful property with so many areas to enjoy the weather. We loved watching the lobster boats and wildlife. The evenings were spent drinking coctails beside the firepit. A great place to spend a week in the heat of the summer.

We really enjoyed our stay - very cozy cottage, great location, fantastic views! We had one very rainy, chilly day which was not a negative - gave us the opportunity to chill, read, and enjoy a fire in the fireplace.

The Moonlight Cottage, situated on a working harbor with an amazing view of Southern Island and the Gulf of Maine, is the quintessential Maine cottage. The kitchen is quite well equipped, there is easy access to the water for kayaking (rentals from Port Clyde Kayaks) and the cottage location, in Tenants Harbor, allows easy access to hiking and fantastic restaurants in nearby Rockland, Rockport and Camden.
