Would you like to unplug and tune out? Then this is the place for you. Wake up to the sounds of Lobster boats, Osprey, Bald Eagles, Gulls, Terns, Harbor seals, Great Blue Herons, and Loons. Eat dinner on the deck overlooking the bay with spectacular western views of the sunset. These are just a few of the amazing sights and sounds you will experience while “glamping” in this cozy waterfront cottage. This is an island: no car access, no ferry (private boat only), or stores. The cottage has an open concept living/dining/kitchen area with woodstove (wood is provided). Cathedral ceilings fill the space with plenty of natural daylight. It has 2 bedrooms: Master with Queen bed and a second bedroom with two twin beds. All bedding is provided. There is one bathroom with toilet, sink and shower. Bath towels, toilet paper as well as bath soap and shampoo will be provided. The kitchen has a full size stove and refrigerator (both fueled by propane). All dishes, pots and pans as well as Paper towels, sugar and basic spices are provided. There is a large wrap around deck with canopy and seating for outdoor meals. Outdoor grill and lobster cooker w/propane also provided. Bring your own boat, kayak/s or sailing craft. Whether you have your own boat or not, the owners will arrange to take you across on checkin/check out day. We will have extra adult life jackets available if needed. However, if you have children in your party they must have Coast Guard approved properly fitted life jackets. If you trailer your own boat, there is a boat launch ramp in the Harbor that you can use. For an extra fee, 2 deep water moorings -one on the island and one in the harbor are available for off island junkets ($25/day for one or $150/week) or $35/day for both or $210/week) also the use of a small tender is available ($15/day or $100/week-on the island). If you do not have a boat we can provide transportation if we are in residence at our other cottage or provide a listing of local places that rent kayaks. You will need to plan your meals for your stay and bring your groceries with you. Be sure to bring reusable bags or waterproof containers for groceries. Maine no longer offers plastic bags and paper bags are useless around the water Since the cottage is located in the woods, with no public utilities, there is no smoking allowed anywhere on the property. All electricity (Lights only) is Solar (12 volt only). There is a small inverter for limited use of the stereo, and other small devices for limited periods of time. Please bring a (cigarette lighter type or usb) car charger for your cell phone and other mobile devices or computer. You can bring your own hotspot. The dock is shared with one other home, which is where the owners stay. Swimming can be done from the private dock or almost any place along the shore, and there is a right of way access to a small beach a short walk from the cottage. Visit the Old Quarry or take a walk to the island cemetery. There are plenty of walking trails on the island (a map will be provided). Island hopping is one of our favorite things to do, just be respectful of the environment and any private homes. The Town of Friendship is ideally located under an hour from many local attractions-Pemaquid Lighthouse, Port Clyde and Monhegan Island. It is a short drive to Camden, Rockport, Rockland, Damariscotta, Boothbay Harbor and Wiscasset, just to name a few… This is the perfect place to sit back, unwind, unplug and get away from all the distractions of everyday life. Great for families or couples looking to get away from it all! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Lobster/crab pot - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Dock - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed - Note from host: Strictly enforced ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - Near the ocean - On the bay - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - 100% renewable energy - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Composting - Comprehensive food waste policy - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - No plastic coffee stirrers - No plastic drinking straws - No plastic soft drink bottles - Recycling - Reusable cups - Reusable tableware - Solar energy - Unit size: 850 square feet - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/58000000/57350000/57349100/57349067/37f2f5b4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy Cottage with spectacular salt water view / 3 Kayaks available/ Bremen - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 9.8 Exceptional 48 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-15&endDate=2025-11-16&selected=57349067&PinnedHotelID=57349067&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100160000/100156300/100156219/ce2d36ed.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Quiet & cozy ocean-side hideaway.
