Dew Drop 2 Village Cottage, Steps to Harbor, Lawn & Boathouse
Located directly in the heart of Port Clyde, Dew Drop 2 Village Cottage is a charming coastal home just steps from the harbor, shops, dining, and village life. This is a true in-town stay, where the sidewalk loop, waterfront, playground, post office, church, and local favorites are right outside your door.
The property is a classic Maine cape that has been thoughtfully adapted into two separate residences. Dew Drop 2 is a private, self-contained unit with its own entrance, primarily set within a newer addition to the home, while portions of the kitchen and half bath remain within the original cape.
This cottage is best suited for one family or a couple looking for a relaxed and comfortable stay in the heart of the village.
Entering the cottage, you are welcomed into a bright great room with views of the harbor. French doors and windows across the front of the home bring in natural light and create an easy connection to the outdoors.
The living area includes a comfortable sectional sofa, cushioned seating, and a writing desk, making it a perfect place to read, write, or simply relax. A smart flat screen television with cable and streaming capability, along with books and games, adds to the comfort of the space.
The dining area includes seating for six, with views of the gardens and nearby playground.
The kitchen is efficiently designed and well equipped with a refrigerator, stove and oven, a compact dishwasher, microwave, Keurig, standard coffee maker, toaster, and blender. A stackable washer and dryer and a half bath are also located in this area.
Upstairs, there are two bedrooms. The first bedroom is the smaller of the two and includes a queen-sized bed, dresser, closet, bedside lamps, and a smart TV with cable. This room has windows facing the street and playground.
The full bathroom is located in the hallway and includes a tub and shower combination.
The second bedroom features a king bed, chaise lounge, nightstands with lamps, dresser, and a vaulted ceiling with clear ocean views overlooking the working waterfront.
A plug-in air conditioning unit is available on the second floor to provide added comfort during warmer summer days.
Outside, the property offers a large shared lawn that extends to the water’s edge. This unit has its own dedicated outdoor setup, including four Adirondack chairs, a fire pit, and an outdoor grill.
A small shared garage space is available for storing beach chairs, bicycles, or other personal items during your stay.
The lawn is ideal for relaxing, playing games, painting, reading, or simply watching the harbor activity. The setting offers views of the working waterfront, boats coming and going, changing coastal tides, and beautiful sunsets. It is not uncommon to see guests set up easels or spend time writing and creating.
This is a tidal waterfront property, and at low tide the water recedes to reveal the natural mud flats typical of the Maine shoreline. At high tide, the water returns and the harbor view changes again.
This property includes access to a shared boathouse on the water, offering an additional place to enjoy the waterfront setting.
Just down Co-op Road, you can purchase fresh lobster directly from local fishermen and bring it back to prepare at home.
As this is a shared property, guests may occasionally share the lawn and waterfront areas with guests staying in the adjacent unit. The home is located along Co-op Road, where you may hear early morning activity from local fishermen, along with the natural sounds of the nearby playground and village life.
This cottage is designed to be enjoyed year round. In the warmer months, the waterfront lawn, harbor activity, and village setting invite you outside. In fall, the landscape shifts with changing leaves and coastal light. In the colder months, the cottage becomes a quiet and cozy retreat, ideal for reading, writing, puzzles, games, or simply slowing down. Many guests enjoy spending holidays here.
Around the Fourth of July, you may see fireworks from the surrounding harbor area. These are typically set off by local residents and can appear in different directions across the water.
Area Amenities: Dew Drop 2 is steps from the center of Port Clyde. Enjoy coffee, a drink, or light fare at The Squid Ink, breakfast or lunch at the historic Ocean House Dining Room, and casual waterfront dining at The Dip Net, known for fried seafood served right on the wharf. For additional options, enjoy live music and casual dining at The Barn Café, fresh seafood at The Black Harpoon, and dessert from Village Ice Cream. Several local art galleries are also located throughout the village, offering a look at the area’s long-standing creative community.
Take a day trip to Monhegan Island aboard the Monhegan Boat Line, located right in the village. The trip itself is part of the experience, offering scenic views of the Maine coast, with Monhegan known for its hiking trails, artist community, and dramatic shoreline.
The nearby public town landing provides parking, dock access, and a consistent place to launch kayaks or small boats. The Port Clyde General Store dock and marina offers gas, diesel, mooring services, and slip space.
Kayaks and paddleboards can be rented locally through Port Clyde Kayaks. Bicycles can be rented from Maine Sport in Rockland, and small boats may be rented through Port Harbor Marine.
Drift Inn Beach is about a mile away and offers a beautiful tidal beach experience. Nearby Marshall Point Lighthouse is one of the most iconic coastal landmarks in Maine.

Quite simply it is pure heaven to stay there. My second time and hope many more to come. It is just right. The only thing that would increase the sublime experience would be a fire place. Short of that it is perfect.

This property is light and airy with a great view of working lobster boats on a small cove. It's well maintained and well equipped. It's a short walk to the ferry to Monhegan Island. We enjoyed our stay.

The location was spectacular with a very short walk to the Monhegan Boat Line Store, Squid Ink Coffee Shop, and Village Ice Cream. We walked to Marshall Point lighthouse about a mile away and hit the tide just right for a couple beach days at Drift Inn beach. We had an incredible ocean view facing West for beautiful sunsets. Our two bedrooms and spacious living / dining area was plenty of room for my wife and 2.5 year old to relax and enjoy ourselves. Highly recommend if you want to place to get away.

I really love this spot! The house, location, the views out the back door. The kitchen has been redone and beautifully so, along with the master bedroom upstairs. It’s simply a beautiful, restful, lovely spot. Can’t wait to return!

We just got back from our stay in Dew Drop Cottage 2 in Port Clyde. The house was clean, well equipped, and very comfortable. We had a great time, and we were able to watch the fireworks over the water from the windows and the yard outside! Would definitely consider a return visit!

We had a wonderful few day s, relaxing at this charming cottage. The cottage was filled with everything we needed for a comfortable stay-a spacious sitting area with comfy couch, kitchen with abundant supplies, very comfortable beds and toppers and a wonderful view of the picturesque harbor. The community is quiet and quaint and we really enjoyed walking to the general store for breakfast.
