LOCATION AND PRIVACY are a unique combination in this Waterfront Historic Cape Cottage set in the heart of Port Clyde Village and Harbor. Many ocean views can be enjoyed from this peaceful three-bedroom + loft, two-bath village paradise. Watch the sun set on the back deck with views of islands and fisherman unloading their catch. Relax in the private backyard under the canopy of apple trees in our hand-crafted Adirondack chairs. Or walk down to the shore and fish from our two docks (poles provided) and enjoy the scenery of a working Maine village.

Port Clyde Cottage, built in 1820, is full of New England charm. Freshly restored and decorated, the interior is abundant with soothing colors and natural light allowing visitors to enjoy the outdoors even from the inside. A large game room is complete with bar, pingpong and oceanview picture window. Luxurious bedding, modern appliances and wireless internet combine with the quaint features of a historic Maine residence to make Port Clyde Cottage the perfect summer retreat.

Boaters' Paradise: For guests who are avid boaters Port Clyde Cottage offers a mooring for guest use. From the premises you can keep an eye on your vessel and watch for friends as they arrive by boat. Boats can also be rented from Jeff's Marine in Thomaston. Please call well in advance of your arrival to reserve. They will deliver to the Port Clyde public landing.

Fishing is a popular activity especially for those with children and poles are provided. We own two docks and guests are welcome to fish here – mackerel and, last year squid, are often local favorites.

A quick shore path will take you to the playground complete with basketball court and a large grassy picnic area.

Nearby Area Activities: Port Clyde is located at the end of the St. George Peninsula. We are about 20 minutes from Rockland home of the Lobster Festival, Blues Festival, Farnsworth Museum and many restaurants, galleries and unique shops. Camden/Rockport is about 40 minutes and is known for its picturesque harbors where you can jump aboard one of the many schooners for a day trip or ski the Camden Snow Bowl during the winter. The Samoset Resort in Rockport is a golfers paradise as the course is set along Penobscot Bay. The Botanical Gardens in Boothbay has an expansive children's garden that is a must visit for families with young ones - half/full day event. Acadia National Park is a 2.5 hour drive and a nice long day trip for lunch/shopping/hike. A drive around Park Loop Road (about 45 minutes) is a must. This park was the first national park east of the Mississippi and also one of the most accessible.

Why Karan Cushman chose Port Clyde

We were very lucky to have been presented the opportunity to own the 'Tate' house from the family of the previous owners Norm and Janice Tate who were both celebrated artists. Norm was a retired Disney illustrator and Janice an accomplished artist and avid gardener who had a Summer Art Workshop series and brought many artists to Port Clyde. My husband Gerry, a fifth-generation lobstermen, owned the wharf next door and it was Norm's wish that this historic house and its waterfront access be made available to a local fishing family. Lucky us. With a six-month daughter old in tow and two helpful parents, we restored the natural beauty of this Port Clyde icon, which was once a store, in time for the rental season of 2007. It's been a full-summer season ever since!

What makes this cottage unique

This historic residence is full of light and character. Norm and Janice's love for art and history still pops up everywhere -- in Norm's wood carvings in the old posts in the living room, the gone sailing sign on the door, his books on the shelves, the antiques and artwork everywhere all tell a story about the Port Clyde area and the nature of the people who call it home. Outside Janice's gardens are still alive and a very restful place to be in the heart of the village. We've made our two docks available and we also own two wharf buildings down below. One I use for my office and the other Gerry for his lobster business. So we're usually not far if you have questions or need something.

The perfect getaway

5 of 5
Submitted: September 22, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
I have lived in Maine for 8 years but have never taken a summer vacation to really enjoy it as I have a job that gets very busy that time of year. This year, however, we made a point to block out a week away and invited friends to join us with their two boys (4 and 6 years old) from Kansas City. What a delightful stay we all had! None of us had the pleasure of exploring such a small town before and by day three we had settled into the slower pace beautifully wondering why we had never done something like this before! The house and location were perfect for our two families (we have a toddler), everyone loving the game room and access to the waterfront for lobster bakes and kayaks off the dock. We ate in town and had ice cream each night, and took a picnic lunch to Monhegan, Camden or just the back each afternoon. The house was spacious, beautifully maintained and accommodated our every need. The owners were available, friendly and made us feel right at home. We recommend this little gem without reservation and would love the chance to return again ourselves.

Treasured Time!

I am counting down the weeks and days until we return to the cottage in Port Clyde for our 5th year. We look forward to this week all year long. We are always delighted to catch up with the owners, who are so gracious, helpful and friendly, and will be sure that the cottage is supplied with everything needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. And like another reviewer mentioned, their friendliness will make you feel like a local; like you belong in this wonderful place!
The cottage is lovely, and has so much character. It is furnished with such taste and attention to comfort and detail. The bedding is top quality and the kitchen is stocked with everything you could possibly need. Hanging out at the cottage is such a pleasure. Having meals or just relaxing on the deck out back is wonderful! The view and the clean, cool ocean air can't be beat. The sunsets are spectacular! The adirondack chairs on the back lawn, surrounded by gorgeous trees and flower gardens are another favorite outside hangout spot.
The house has many windows affording great views and lots of light! We all really love the "game room" which is kind of like a nice barn room attached to the house. We have a great time playing ping pong, listening to music, playing cards, or drawing and painting out there; there is a great view out the large picture window.
The village of Port Clyde is small and fairly quiet, quaint and picturesque. It is not touristy, but it IS homey and friendly. We LOVE it. We love the general store. We love the village ice cream shop. We love the "Dip Net".
There is plenty to do right in town...Drift Inn Beach, (beautiful!), the playground, (for kids young and old!), fishing, (rods supplied at cottage), canoeing and/or kayaking, walks to the lighthouse, (the museum is very interesting!), art galleries, several great places to eat...There are times we just don't want to leave Port Clyde at all. But, we have made some great day trips; Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, Rockland and Camden, both great towns, Pemaquid Point is stunningly beautiful, ferry to Monhegan, and many more.
As far as "grocery shopping" goes, The General Store, along with 2 other local markets, have been enough to keep us in good food and drink and other miscellaneous needs.
One of my favorite things?...the just audible rumble of the lobster boats leaving the harbor very early in the morning, heard and seen through my open bedroom window. Ahhh...heavenly!
These are times we treasure!

My family and I stayed in this home the last week of July and absolutely loved the home and enjoyed our stay. The home is beautifully decorated, comfortable and well stocked with everything you need to cook and enjoy lobster. The owners are fantastically welcoming and were available to provide referrals and to answer any questions we had. This is a tiny village and is the perfect place to remove yourself from the hustle and bustle of city life and to settle down to relax. There were 2 adult bikes, 4 fishing poles, beach chairs, sand toys, a small toy box with various treasures and board games. Our children loved the ping pong table, access to both docks, freedom to roam and of course the sweet ice cream shop next door. We rented a canoe for the week and enjoyed many canoe trips around the harbor. One of the highlights was the opportunity to go out on the lobster boat and then come home with fresh, live lobster! We would absolutely return to this property!

We stayed at the cottage in June 2010 with our two kids (ages 10 and 6) and had a wonderful time. Our kids keep asking when we'll be going back!

The owners are wonderful and the location is perfect. The house is so interesting and has a great story which the owners shared with us while we were there. We loved that we were able to walk or bike to so many great places right from the house. We took the ferry to Monhegan Island for a day, took a kayak tour, visited the Marshall Point Lighthouse, Drift Inn Beach and had some nice casual meals at the Dip Net and great ice cream right next door--all without ever getting into our vehicle!

Highly recommend this cottage for a great vacation!

A fantastic place to spend a very relaxing week - both the cottage and the Village of Port Clyde.

The house was even better than expected - very well appointed and great views from almost every window. We spent a lot of time there, cooked several meals, and the kitchen had everything we needed - not to mention the grill and lobster cooker on the deck. Lots of comfortable seating, inside and out. Our cell phones worked on the driveway, and wireless works in the game room.

Great ice cream, 2 restaurants, the general store, kayak rentals, boat trips to Monhegan Island or for nature cruises, fresh lobster and fish, Marshall Point Lighthouse, and Drift In Beach are all in walking distance, and we took advantage of all of them!

We had a great dinner at Harpoon Restaurant - the fish chowder was fantastic, as well as the fish.

We also enjoyed side trips to Boothbay Harbor, Pemaquid Point, Rockland, and Camden. Pemaquid Point Lighthouse is definitely worth the trip if you haven't been there. Get lunch at the restaurant/gift shop next door - great food!

And, the owners were super friendly, and very helpful. Overall, it was a fantastic week, and we hope to return in the future!
