The cottage was perfect for us and our pup. Simple layout, with some antiques and artwork, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch and relaxing. The kitchenette had everything we needed to prepare simple meals, including coffee maker, toaster oven and microwave.The area is quiet with friendly folks wherever we went. Walking distance to the harbor, general store (to pick up simple groceries, prepared sandwiches and a deli counter) bakery and a couple restaurants. The cottage is not far from Rockland and Owls Head, with plenty of beautiful spots to explore, hike and enjoy Maine. We enjoyed meeting our friendly host and would love to go back again some day.

Wonderful weekend getaway

Loved this cottage and the location. We also had glorious weather for October, so also took some nice walks in the area. One simple suggestion is a better map for locating the cottage. The one we received was a bit basic and it wasn't clear that parking is at the side of the property and accessed from a different street than the address given. All in all, a bright, sunny studio space that's nicely decorated.

Charming town and cottage

My wife and I stayed in the cottage for five days, and would’ve stayed for five more, if we didn’t have to be somewhere else. Tenants Harbor is a charming, seaside village, nestled among several other charming, seaside villages. From the cottage, we walked to the bakery each morning for fresh pastries and coffee. At the general store we could buy sandwiches to take on the road for lunch or a pizza for supper, etc. We had a wonderful time and look forward to staying at this property again.

Cottage in quiet neighborhood overlooking Tenants Harbor

Comfortable efficiency apartment in a standalone building on a side street overlooking the center of picturesque village and the harbor itself. Wide porch with Adirondack chairs. Comfortable queen bed, very restful. Well-equipped kitchen has what you need and is of the galley type: you’ll mostly be using the microwave and toaster ovens to heat and reheat your meals; coffeemaker on hand, and an under-counter fridge. Hose outside for washing off beach sand. Nearby: restaurants, galleries, hiking trails, and the attractions of Port Clyde.

Okay for an overnight but not for a vacation

The property was clean . However, had I known there was no stove , I would never have booked thi place. I love to cook but missed out cooking my lobster Dinners, making my lobster stew or having steamers. I had to purchase an electric grill to cook fish. There was no room to hang any clothes and I dislike living out of a suitcase for a week. A charming place rouse for a day or two but not a week.i will not use for my next visit since I have been visiting the area for 40 years

Pauls Cottage is so cute

My Husband and I and our dog Violet stayed in the cottage for 5 nights. It was lovely, we mostly were out adventuring as we call it. but when we were "home" at Paul's Cottage it was so cute and comfortable. we brought our netflix and other passwords to log in to watch TV at the end of the night. We loved Exploring the area, walking trails, hiking out to the Rockland lighthouse, seeing and hearing the Roaring Spout (it sounds like thunder - it didn't record on video as thunder but still quite amazing) we did a puffin boat tour - so awesome and highly recommend! Hiking the trails on the Clarks Island Preserve. Many places had dog friendly decks to bring Violet and if not it was cool enough to leave her in the car (early June). We went to the Thomaston Dog Park every day and that is an amazing dog park!!! One day we went twice!! We had an awesome time at Pauls Cottage and the area is adorable!

Peaceful retreat

The booking through Evolve was very easy, then we received enough emails with the details. Before arriving I contacted Monica who answered right after with the necessary details about where to arrive and to park the car. We didn't meet her during the stay.Paul's cottage is a little house in the back of a nice property, super peaceful, quiet and absolutely lovely decorated.As we had red previous reviews we knew we'll have a small oven which was quite enough: there is a charming and super well furnished general store close by where we could get everything necessary for our lunchs (breakfasts actually). We also tried the Schoolhouse bakery close by which has very good pastries, breads and scones.We had enough towels for our stay and they smelt very good.The house was super neat!It's a very convenient place to stay: we had visited the whole region from there and where very relieved to be back to Paul's Cottage after the crowd or after driving a lot sneaking around the coast.We plan to be back!

Paul’s Cottage is Awesome!

We had an absolutely wonderful time staying at Paul’s Cottage! The cottage was cute, cozy and immaculate. The bed was comfortable and everything we needed was right there. The location was ideal. The cottage is in the middle of so many cool places that we wanted to check out. We are hoping to return next summer. Highly recommend.

We very much enjoyed this well-located and appointed cottage and appreciated the responsiveness of the owner to a request for grilling materials and the Guest Contact for her responsiveness. Two minor concerns: a stove with oven would have expanded our food prep options, and finding the address on GPS was impossible - only after calling her did Contact email a special map to show us how to get to the cottage.

Wonderful Stay

A lovely studio cabin, appointed with all the necessities. It was a great base for us to explore the beauty of the rugged Maine mid coastal area. The neighborhood was quiet and the Tenant’s Harbor General Store is a 5 minute walk to meet a variety of needs.

My fiancé and I’s stay at Paul’s Cottage was absolutely wonderful! What a beautiful and picturesque cottage in Mid-coast Maine! This was our first time to Maine and what a fabulous trip it was!Everything was perfectly as described - a lovely kitchenette with a built-in mini-refrigerator, toaster oven, microwave, and hot plate with plenty of dishes and silverware. There is also a lovely heater/air conditioning unit which we used one night when it got a bit chilly; otherwise having the windows open on the warmer nights was perfect!The only con was that several of the outlets, including the outlets next to the bed were not working, and we had to get a bit creative with the outlets when cooking breakfast as to not overload the power strip in the kitchen as the outlets were not working in the kitchen either. However, that being said, this did not at all detract from the beauty of the cottage, the gorgeous vintage bathtub and sink in the bathroom which has been kept in exquisite shape, and the comfortable surroundings - along with a peaceful and picturesque atmosphere.
