Perfect Vacation
Review Submitted: July 16, 2009

We truly enjoyed our time at the cottage and Port Clyde. Having rented numerous vacation homes in the past, we can honestly say that the Port Clyde Cottage is the best. The cottage is clean, well-maintained and fully stocked with all the amenities you will need - whether be a day at the beach, cookouts on the deck, movies/books for quiet nights, ping pong tournaments or just relaxing on the custom-made adirondack chairs overlooking the water. We loved waking up each morning with a fresh brewed cup of coffee watching the fisherman boats from the back deck and the other "tourists" envy at the cottage from the front kitchen window.
The cottage is nicely located within walking distance of everything in Port Clyde, including the best ice cream in Maine and freshly shucked oysters at the Dip Net. We enjoyed our evening walks around town and to the lighthouse. Day trips to the various towns in the surrounding areas and hiking at the nearby Monhegan Island is also a must (though we debated the merits of leaving our adopted town of Port Clyde). Don't miss the the blackend halibut at the Harpoon (and the back room late night pub) - also within walking distance.
Best of all - the cottage hosts were very friendly, accommodating and made our stay most enjoyable. We were made to feel like part of the town and welcomed with all of the "locals" just by being the renters at the cottage.
We would highly recommend the cottage and Port Clyde.
