About Kate Cohen

Kate grew up on Bay View Street in Camden and upon returning to start her life here with her husband Alex, knew this was the perfect house for them to begin. With 4 young children now, they have moved out to beach, but keep Bay View Cottage in the family. We love living in the area and feel there is no better place to explore and experience. Alex is full time Real Estate Broker at Camden Real Estate and Kate is a busy mother to four and a Clinical Social Worker. We are accessible and attentive to our renters, we will probably bump into each other in town or out on the water!

Kate Cohen purchased this house in 2001
Why Kate Cohen chose Camden

Bay View Cottage is a special home. It has warm and comfortable feel to it. The porch is a perfect spot for taking in the sounds of the harbor and people watching, as Bay View Street is a popular running/walking route for many. We are just a handful of doors form the only sandy beach in town and a 5 minute walk to downtown Camden and the harbor.

A comfortable, charming "base camp" in a great little town

A comfortable, charming "base camp" in a great little town
5 of 5
Submitted: July 20, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
This house is in a quiet part of town a few blocks from the restaurant and stores. The kitchen is lovely with professional-grade appliances and a little outdoor eating area. Sitting room is a little too cozy, but who comes to Maine to watch TV? Fantastic front porch for snooping on neighborly activites... I mean for coffee. Is also nice to read a book out here.
The owners supply a very informative binder with all of the local "things to do."
The stairs are pretty steep. I would recommend this place with caution to someone who has any mobility problems. Once you get upstairs though, you are greeted with 4 large bedrooms, all with windows and with their own bedside sinks. (Apparently, this house used to serve boarders a very long time ago.) The mural with animals all around it in the 3rd bedroom back is so bemusing that I wanted to take it home. Good crossbreeze and there are also several fans.
On the third floor is a bonus room with a TV and some gameboards. A single bed, too. Careful on these stairs. This is a perfect kid hideaway (probably not smart for kids too young to navigate stairs safely unless you bring a baby gate).
About 10 houses down the street is a fun little beach with a gorgeous view and with a swim platform for those brave enough to actually submerge in the ocean. As for Camden itself, I LOVED it!

Owner's Response: Thank you taking the time to review our property! We are so happy you not only enjoyed the house but loved our special town. The mural in the bedroom was done by my mom for our daughter when she was born and features the animals of Aldemere farm just down the road, as well as our beloved pets…. We hope to see you again in Camden!

PERFECT FOR A GETAWAY WITH FRIENDS

Submitted: December 15, 2011 Stayed: September 2011
Unfortunately, we are all back to the real world, but are still re-living the great memories of our trip to Maine, and Camden in particular.

Kate, we loved the house, it was the perfect size for 7 "old women". We spent as much time as possible on the front porch each morning and late afternoon. It was so much fun people-watching and visiting with all the walkers. We didn't ever get to the back deck but maybe next time.
All of my friends absolutely fell in love with Maine, and one friend told me last night that she felt the house couldn't have been better.

Traveling with infant twins

Submitted: October 8, 2010 Stayed: October 2010
We just returned from a fall trip to Camden. We had a wonderful trip and LOVED the house. It is the perfect setup for families with children. The babies loved all the floor space in the kitchen and dining room. It is an easy stroll to town. I would love to be able to stay longer...it is so cozy! Hopefully we will be back for another visit soon. And-I also would highly recommend midcoast baby gear rentals-Jill was wonderful to work with and so easy to arrange!
