About this property
Rose Cottage Oceanfront with Private Dock
Oceanfront cottage sleeps 4 people. Close to other Maine attractions. Enjoy your morning coffee on the covered porch looking out over the working waterfront as you hear seagulls and an occasional seal sighting! Nothing beats the smell of the ocean and a cool breeze on a hot July summer day. Take in a musical at Bowdoin College summer music theater or hit a local beach searching for sea glass and bring a picnic lunch.

The cottage is lovely and we enjoyed sitting on the deck, watching the boats and the wildlife (cranes/herons, gulls, ducks, and geese). This is the most peaceful and quiet place we have ever stayed! It is well stocked and very comfortable. Thank you for a great vacation!
Gorgeous location- on a point of land with water on 3 sides. Wonderful porch to hang out on and soak in MAINE.
Sweet cottage-well equipped kitchen.
Kids loved exploring the waterfront, dock and kayaks.
Owners very responsive.
Lovely relaxing stay! Beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces. We spent hours watching wildlife on the spacious comfy porch. Morse’s food truck, less than 5 minutes by car, was a nice surprise and provided many a takeout supper. Swimming off the dock, kayaking, star gazing and just “doing nothing” were the perfect entertainment for all of us!
Rose Cottage was simply PERFECT! Incredible views, well appointed both inside and out, beautifully landscaped, great sleeping arrangements... could not ask for a better place! The owners were great, quick to respond to questions, etc. Would highly recommend the Rose Cottage to anyone!
Amazing property. Beautifully furnished, well appointed, perfectly clean, and best of all that fabulous covered porch with its fabulous view. We sat out there every morning and evening and enjoyed seeing bald eagles, ospreys, harbor seals, a mother loon teaching her little ones how to fish. Just amazing. If we are ever in this area again, we would definitely like to stay here rather then anywhere else.
Words can’t describe the beautiful setting of Rose Cottage. Check-in was a breeze, too. The cottage is well appointed and comes equipped with everything needed for a wonderful stay. My family of four stayed here for one week and the kids loved the sleeping loft. The covered back deck is a real bonus and comes complete with fire pit, outdoor games and kayaks. We will definitely stay again!
The place we stayed was very peaceful. We always got up early to catch a beautiful sunrise. A beautiful place to kayak, take walks and have cup of coffee on the back porch. The area was fun to explore - local college museum of art was fantastic and the small shops in the local area as well as Bath. We enjoyed our stay very much - and wished it could have been longer.
Beautiful in everyway!! Best place we've stayed at ever. Super clean,comfortable with almost any amenity you could think of. Beautifully decorated and to top it all off a covered porch with a gas fire pits comfy furniture and astounding view. Need I say more?
Beautiful cottage. Fully stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, very, very clean, stunning wood floors, cedar closets, not to mention the water views!!! Oh my, words can not express how beautiful the location & home is.
Any communication with owners were quickly responded.
This cottage truly wowed us. It is beautiful and well-made, clean and comfortable with some cozy features, The kitchen has absolutely everything you might need. The porch puts this cottage over the top. It is like another room in the house overlooking this lovely cove. It is well-covered and with comfortable furniture. Enjoy many morning coffees and evening drinks there! And the location is a plus. Easy trips to town or Portland or great areas to the north. Highly recommend.
The views, the location, the interior decor was all beyond our expectations. Manager was prompt and friendly with answers. Amenities perfect. We didn't want to leave. Actually, when we first walked in, I told my husband I wasn't leaving. In my mind.... I'm still there. Enjoy!
