About this property

THANK YOU TO ALL OUR 2024 SEASON GUESTS for allowing us to share the wonders of Sandy Point and 19 On The Bay. “Do not miss out on this Slice of Heaven”... that is what a guest wrote in their review about what 19 ON THE BAY is !

19 ON THE BAY is just steps away from the Penobscot Bay and a private sandy beach. If you are looking for a cozy, relaxing, New England cottage in Mid Coast Maine with you being just steps away from your own private sandy beach then look no further than
19 ON THE BAY !

19 ON THE BAY is a seasonal cottage that has been fully renovated and beautifully decorated and this one story Sandy Point cottage is ready for you to enjoy. Two bedrooms (queen size mattresses) with ceiling fans, 1 bathroom with a full sized shower, 2 comfortable living areas with sofas and chairs to relax in and a fully equipped kitchen are just a few of the characteristics of this quaint Sandy Point cottage.

19 ON THE BAY is ready for you to come and settle in. A large, flat screen TV/DVD, books, games, soft bedding and towels including beach towels along with extra toiletries if you forgot something all available for your convenience and comfort. The pantry is stocked with Tea Bags, Coffee, Bottle Water, Sugar, Artificial Sweeteners, Creamers, Condiments, and everything you need to make Smores in your private Fire Pit. Enjoy !

As far as your eyes can see is the blue waters of the Penobscot Bay which is just a stones throw away. From the wall of the windows in the four season porch, the kitchen, dining room and living room you get to relax and melt away in the sound and the sight of the waves that rush back and forth on the private sandy beach that awaits your feet in its sand. Even when you wake up and look out the bedroom door your view is none other than the Penobscot Bay.

As sunlight fills the cottage through the bank of windows that surround the cottage and the sea air flows through its rooms you may not want to leave your comfortable surroundings but you would miss so much. Kayaking, fishing, sailing, swimming, day trips to Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park, Fort Knox, eating at Young's Lobster Pound, enjoying the newly open Gastro Pub "Hey Sailor", touring Marine Museum, Antique and Art Galleries. Small towns of Bucksport, Searsport, Belfast, Lincolnville, Camden, and Rockport all bring their New England charm to you with quaint shops, eateries, and beautiful views of the ocean as you travel up and down US1.

19 ON THE BAY provides you with everything you will need to have a holiday that will leave you breathless. Please come and find out for yourself why we call Sandy Point, Maine and 19 ON THE BAY our "little piece of heaven."

Perfect place to get away into nature

We stayed in October. The property was clean, comfortable, and cozy with plenty provided including a fireplace, fire pit, kayaks and supplies for smores. The view over the bay was incredible both from the kitchen and the adirondack chairs out back . Close enough to Acadia and Bar Harbor for an easy day trio

If youre looking for the RIGHT place, this is it!

If you want a fabulous host, a stunning location, and a delightful place to lay your head, you just found it! The views alone are enough attraction to make you want to book 19 on the Bay. But your host Carol and Steve teally care about your stay. They prepare the firepit complete with smore making goodies. The bedding is so cozy and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked and the TV has all that you need. There are kayaks if you’re into that and a beach to walk on when the tide is out. Cant say enough about this place! We hope to be back. fire pit along with marshmallows

Amazing Vacation

My husband and I recently spent 9 nights at this amazing cottage! We enjoyed the view soo much —it is beyond beautiful!! The cottage is furnished with lovely furniture, comfortable beds and beautiful linens. The kitchen is furnished with all the necessities for cooking meals. It was easy to communicate with Carol and Steve with any questions. Carol had a vase of beautiful flowers and a chocolate cake there upon our arrival in honor of our anniversary…soo special! We look forward to returning to 19 on the Bay in the future. Thank you Carol and Steve for everything!! Patti and Jim September 2024

SO peaceful and relaxing!

We needed a place to unwind and this was it. Great waterfront property with comfortable places to sit and observe the occasional boat go by, lots of birds and a seal relaxing on his favorite rock, as well as the shoreline changing with the tides. We used the available double kayak to check out the nearby shoreline and we landlocked Rocky Mountain dwellers ate fresh seafood every day - especially lobsters - from numerous local restaurants in the area.

Perfect

We love staying at 19 on the Bay. The cottage is charming and the view incedible. Carol and Steve are so thoughtful down to the last detail: their warm welcoming greeting, the furnishings, the little touches evident everywhere. There are 2 seating areas inside and at least four outside, one with a fireplace. Waking up each morning to the bay, seeing and hearing birds,and the chaning tides makes me so happy. Comfortable beds, excellent kitchen and supplies. Perfect.

Carol & Steve were the best hosts. They were easy to communicate with. The cottage was beautiful and was stocked with all the extras. They were so thoughtful as to surprise us with flowers and cupcakes for our upcoming anniversary. The weather was not the best when we were here but we hope to come back to take in more of that amazing view.

Third time! Still wonderful

Carol and Steve are the most gracious hosts. The cottage is decorated beautifully- has anything you can think of ( even things you might need that you forgot ) you get to watch the river flow from the backyard with a glass of wine in hand. It’s just the most relaxing wonderful vacation. If you’re so inclined, you can go out back and kayak or walk on the beach. It’s central to so many different things -this time we just stayed and relax taking in all the beautiful surroundings- even caught a picture of a full rainbow:). See you next time! Thanks again….

Amazing!

This was my first trip to Maine and it did not disappoint! The cottage and views were absolutely GORGEOUS! The owners were so friendly and accomdating during out stay (they met us with flowers and cupcakes since it was our anniversary and my wife's birthday!). We loved the list of restaurant recommendstions since we were unsure of where to get good food. We also loved the outdoor fire pit and smores items provided, including hot cocoa (which even includef white hot chocolate, which I love since I don't like regular chocolate). They thought of everything to make guests comfortable and we loved relaxing there after a day of exploring the area. We will definitely be back!

The cottage is absolutely great, the location beautiful, and Carol and Steve are exceptional. Checking in, I mentioned it was my birthday. An hour later they brought us birthday cupcakes. We were supposed to fly out of Portland today, but my wife tested positive for Covid. Not only have Carol and Steve agreed to let us stay on until Monday – and maybe longer, but they delivered a "Colley's Covid Care Package to our door. A bad situation, especially for my wife, but wonderful folks in a really cool place made it as good as it could be. David and Diane Moore

19 on the Bay

This was our second time staying at 19 on the Bay and it was just as good as the first. Steve and Carol are great hosts and do a wonderful job managing and maintaining this beautiful cottage on Penobscot Bay. It is in a great location for day trips in the Mid Coast area of Maine. The setting is most relaxing and a wonderful place to get away from it all.

Couldn’t ask for more

Our two week east coast trip was highlighted by our stay at 19 on the Bay. Carol and Steve were the most gracious of hosts and provided us with everything we needed and more (even flashlights during a storm which ended up not to be needed)! The location was midway between our activities in Camden and in Acadia which was perfect. We were greeted in the morning by seals and other wildlife and ended the days with amazing sunsets. Kayaking was fantastic as were the games by the outside gameboard, fire in the fire pit, and cozy days in the beautiful cottage. This is a place not to be missed :)

Five stars plus

If we could give more than 5 stars we would. We loved every minute: our hosts, the incredible view, beautiful cottage, all the thoughtful touches everywhere, sitting areas, in and out, and table with a view, all thoughtfully provisioned. Our hosts were extraordinarily helpful even when our car battery expired. We visited towns from Stockton Springs to Stonjngton and Isle au Haut, and over to Belfast, had lovely walks and explored restaurants. We are looking forward to returning to this perfect, beautiful and relaxing spot.

Stay one week if you can.

Driving up slight hill to the cottage gave us a surprise. The wide open grassy vista of Bayview Drive appeared like a mirage! Penobscot River scene takes your breath away. Carol and Steve met us in their Uber golf cart for a free ride from the short walk to the cottage and helped with our luggage. :) Friendly smiles and warm hospitality made us feel at home. The meticulously clean and cozy cottage is well stocked with necessary pantry items and keurig coffee. We built a fire in the pit while blue super moon rose over the river. Linda had her first ever s’more. 3 nights were not enough. Kayaks were great. Thank you, We hope to be back. Rick and Linda

Beautiful Getaway!

This "cottage" is a small slice of heaven! The pictures do not do it justice! The hosts were amazing - available when we needed something (although it was only more firewood) and nowhere to be seen the rest of the time. The home is comfortable, clean and has every amenity you can think of and more. The views are spectacular. We even got to watch a storm roll in which was pretty cool to watch. Although we didn't get to see any seals, we definitely heard them at night! We will definitely be returning!!

What a wonderful stay!

We loved our time at Carol & Steve's cabin. The cabin itself is beautiful, all the furnishings are comfortable and it has everything you need for a stay at the beach. Carol & Steve are nearby, helpful and available, all the while affording their visitors all the privacy you desire. The location of the cabin is one of the best. On a private drive, a small cove, near the entrance to the Penobscot River, its beauty, breeze, and water views astound. Watching the water and wildlife is something I will carry with me forever. The location is convenient to Bucksport, Belfast, Blue Hill and about an hour from MDI and Stonington. My husband and I stayed mostly by ourselves, but the 3 nights, when 2 friends visited, we had plenty of space. Visitors will not be disappointed. We are so grateful for our time spent there.
