Sea Sparkle: Sunny Village Cottage With Artist Studio And Panoramic Ocean Views

Panoramic saltwater vistas from every room in this little 2-bedroom home on a winding harbor road. Also, an attached artist shed.
Formerly the home of Gertrude Cook, her kitchen work area has been preserved in tact including spatter painted linoleum floor.
The aroma of many a pie wafted from Gertrude's oven over the cove where her son, Blaine, operated a lobster buying wharf. Her attic has been constructed into an idyllic queen bedroom, new bath, and connecting studio with ocean views. Downstairs there's a cozy bedroom off the living room, with full size bed, desk, bureau and closet. The downstairs bath features tiled floor and an exhilarating rainbow shower. Relax with friends in the living room and farm style kitchen which adjoin with sunshiny warmth and welcoming atmosphere. Wall TV in the living room for times when you are not outside walking this seaside road to the village, about a 7-minute stroll, or sketching at the working lobster wharfs minutes away in the other direction.

This house rents on a Saturday to Saturday rental schedule.

Beautiful October week in Port Clyde
We had a wonderful and peaceful stay at the cottage. The house was so clean and spacious. The kitchen had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable. There is very little traffic on the road and the view of sunrises and sunsets was amazing. We enjoyed the quiet. If you like stargazing, the outdoor seating is perfect for taking in the Milky Way. It is easy to walk to town for a meal or supplies. Nearby are many hiking trails and other places to visit. I would go again.

Sea Sparkle
We had a great time this week. The views from the house were spectacular - the road was quiet and peaceful. The house was a pleasant mix of old and new with vintage and original furnishings mixed with new conveniences. Comfortable furniture and arranged to afford the best views. Kitchen stocked with necessary equipment. Thanks so much for a great place to stay!

We had an absolutely amazing time stargazing, beach-going, and lobster-eating. The cottage is charming and very well-appointed. It is quintessential Mid-Coast Maine. Perfect! We will rent this cozy home again.

Another Peaceful Getaway in PC
This is our third time staying in Port Clyde. It's a small quaint, peaceful community. I love walking to the general store and taking in the beautiful views. The rental was super cute and had all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay while still having a vintage, old fashioned decorative items from days past.

One of our favorite spots
The views from this spot are breathtaking, it never gets old. The home was comfortable and appreciated the supplies on hand; soaps, seasonings, paper towels etc. helps to eliminate too much to pack. The neighborhood is quiet and a great place to walk and close to downtown port Clyde. We appreciated the excellent communication with the property manager as well.

Maine Thanksgiving adventure
The house is very quaint. Generally the home was clean, updated and decorated nicely. Unfortunately the kitchen area could use an upgrade. The pots and pans were barely usable. Very scratched and unclean on the inside. It was surprising to not see a dish washer. Additionally the water pump broke down in the middle of the stay which also caused an issue with the electric. We were without water and had partial electric for one evening. The management Co offered to relocate us but we picked this location because my family had rented the house next door. I suppose the chance you take when renting an older home. They were quick to make the repair which we appreciate but it did cause an inconvenience for the next day regarding showers etc. Generally though this was our third trip to Maine. It is a beautiful State and the area we were in was very nice. We will definately return.

A wonderful week
We stayed at the Gardenwalk Crest property - last minute change proposed by Veronika because of a problem at the Sea Sparkle property. We loved the location of this house, right in front of the fishing harbor of Port Clyde. Views from the deck and from inside the house, as well, are wonderful. The house is very comfortable, with everything that you need. Veronika is very efficient and available, we got all informations very easily.

Maine Relaxation
Quaint small house with a gorgeous master bedroom (and comfortable bed). Second bedroom is small but adequate. House was immaculate. Beyond anything else is the view of the Bay - just beautiful. The only improvement I think important is to put a shade on the kitchen window like the one in the bedroom. It is so bright in that room I wore sunglasses while making dinner. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will return.

Beautiful Retreat
My daughter and I literally cried because we had to leave. We extended our already booked 2 week stay to 3. I knew when we arrived we’d want more time there. Veronika is on her game. They provide all that you need for your stay including linens, toilet paper, paper towels, soaps and kitchen items. The kitchen decor brought back so many childhood memories. The house is situated on a gorgeous inlet. Herons, and eagles were frequently spotted there. There’s a walkable beach where every day a herd of seals feed and play. You can watch the active harbor with the lobstermen coming and going and appreciate the long hours they put in. Amazing all around.

Horse Point House
The house is unique, well-kept, and clean and the location is beautiful. However, it was not clear to us going into it that the second bedroom and bathroom, which are on the second floor, are completely open without any doors. Depending on which four people are staying there together, it could be uncomfortable. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.
