About this property

Are you looking for the quintessential Maine cottage with views of Penobscot Bay and steps away from the beach? Look no further, Overlook Cottage has two bedrooms and one full bath (newly updated 2023) with two full size beds and one queen bed and sleeps 4 adults or 2 adults with children comfortably. Enjoy views while grilling your catch of the day or dining inside the screened porch. Enjoy the Adirondack chairs on the deck or play an outdoor game on the massive green lawn out front. The cottage has a flat screen tv, Bose Sound-bar, internet for those working remote, screened in deck and full (newly renovated in 2023) kitchen. On those cool nights enjoy our newly installed vented contemporary fireplace while watching the waves outside.

Guided water adventures, relaxation, golf, and local artists are all just minutes away!

Coastal Maine Perfection

We loved our stay at this property! It was so clean and comfortable and felt very homey! The view of Belfast Bay from the screened porch was the icing on the cake. We prepared a lot of our own meals, and the kitchen was well-equipped for our needs. The home was in the just-right location for our explorations of Midcoast and Down East Maine.

Beautiful property, beautiful view!!!

This is a lovely little cottage which sits at the top of a slope on a beautiful bay. The only issue we had was a short lived loss of water pressure due to a water main break up the street. The owner was quick to find out where the issue was and let us know the city was working to have it restored. They had it repaired within an hour or so & we were back in business!! The cottage was very welcoming and provided us with all the comfort we needed during our stay. I would highly recommend this owner & this cottage for anyone visiting this area!!

Cottage on the bay

We really enjoyed the views from the deck . The screened in porch is wonderful too. Just the perfect size for the two of us. Belfast is a lovely town and easy to drive around in. We are from a small town so we really appreciate the slower traffic.

Wonderful Week on the Bay

We found this cottage to be perfect for 2 couples to share. We had a clean, comfortable, conveniently- located “home base” as we explored charming coastal towns nearby. We enjoyed morning walks on the beach and evenings on the screened porch. We would love to stay here in the future.

Great Belfast, Maine rental cottage

The cottage was perfect for our visit. Nicely decorated and ever so clean. The cottage has a great view of the water and it is an easy stroll to the beach. Also, located very close to the downtown area. Enjoyed walking by the harbor and exploring Belfast. The Friday outdoor market and the Saturday indoor market are not to be missed. Last, but not least was the prompt response of the owner for any questions. Would definitely stay there again.

Lovely stay

Everything was as advertised. Well appointed- clean and with a beautiful view and porch. We enjoyed our stay very much. Only thing I would recommend is bigger fans for each bed room. There is no air conditioning in bedrooms when doors are closed but is fine with windows open and a good fan.

Overlook Cottage is quaint & cozy, but very modernized. Loved the filtered water option for sustainability and use of our water bottles. Favorite for our family: utilizing the screened in porch & deck and waking up to each morning to a gorgeous centered view of Penobscot Bay, meandering the rocky shore, or ending the night with a view of a million stars. Pamela & family provide many staple amenities and easy access to a local farmers coop or grocery store in Belfast. Our local contact, Donna, was wonderful and efficient to help with a small tech issue. We hope to return to Overlook Cottage time and time again. Great base camp for all adventures in any direction! Thank you for sharing this lovely cottage for our summer family holiday!

Great time in Belfast !

First trip to Maine (visiting from Atlanta). Home was as described, clean and modern and had everything we needed. Quick walk right down to the beach where the kids could walk every night, swim, look for crabs, seals, etc. About a 8 min drive to downtown Belfast, and 90 min ride to Acadia national park. Definitely was relaxing and had everything we needed. Would highly recommend!

Perfect Seaside Cottage!

We had the best time staying in Belfast at Pamela’s cottage. It’s the perfect size and immaculately maintained and beautifully decorated. Kitchen & bath were stocked with everything you need. Screen porch was the perfect place to work and to hang out. WiFi was perfect and plenty fast which my husband appreciated since he was working remotely and had several important overseas meetings. We enjoyed combing the beach for shells and rocks and checking the tide pools. Cottage is centrally located and we were able to drop our daughter off at camp in Bangor, visit friends in Damariscotta and even hike in beautiful Acadia! My 15 year old enjoyed scouring the two very good bookstores in town and we enjoyed all the restaurants and shops. Owner was very quick to respond with the few questions I had and everything went very smoothly. Can’t wait to come back soon!

Bright, clean, comfortable and convenient!

The cottage is precisely as pictured and described, well-stocked with blankets, towels, toiletries and pretty much anything you might require and Pamela, should you need her, was quick to respond to the couple of questions we had. A particularly noteworthy feature for us was the screened-in porch that we enjoyed throughout our stay. Several hours after we departed and nearly 200 miles away we realized that we left something very valuable in the cottage. We immediately contacted Pamela from the road and she coordinated the safe return of our valuables via FedEx. I not only give 5 stars to the cottage but also to Pamela who really works to provide her guests with a top-notch experience... and she succeeds!

About the host

Hosted by Pamela Abraham

Hello, I am Pamela, my husband David and our daughter Samantha just purchased Overlook Cottage in May of 2021. Owning a beach cottage in Maine has been a dream of ours and its hard to believe it has finally come true. We fell in love with Belfast and the day we turned into Wonderview Circle and saw the breathtaking views we knew we had found the cottage of our dreams. We have been in the hospitality business for 40 years and truly enjoy giving guests a special place to relax, make memories and feel rejuvenated when they leave. Its a blessing to be able to share Overlook Cottage and we know you will truly enjoy your time here.

Why they chose this property

We chose Overlook Cottage because of the cozy feel of the cottage and the incredible views. We love that you can walk across a beautiful lawn and have private access to the large rocky beach. We love watching the tide go in and out and watching the wildlife and boats throughout the day. Searching for sea glass and unique rocks is a favorite pastime. The community is very friendly and with the quaint town of Belfast only 10 minutes away Overlook Cottage was the perfect place for us.

What makes this property unique

The minute you walk up the steps to Overlook Cottage and look back at the ocean all your worries will be left behind. All the windows along the front have spectacular views of the ocean. The screened porch is perfect for dining, and the oversized deck is perfect for sitting in the sunshine and watching the boats go by. Sit at the dining table and work inside (if you must) or curl up on the couch with a good book. Most days have a beautiful breeze from the water and on clear nights the stars are mesmerizing. Overlook cottage is a special place where memories will be made.
