Berry Cottage, private dock, overlooking a sandy b

Experience the enchantment of Maine at Berry Cottage on Spruce Head Island. Nestled on a picturesque island framed by ancient granite, Berry Cottage beckons visitors with its timeless allure. Follow a quaint lane shaded by majestic pines, and you'll discover this quintessential Maine summer retreat. Perched overlooking a sandy beach, a private dock, and a serene harbor with scenic islands dotting the horizon, Berry Cottage invites you to embrace the coastal charm and tranquility of Midcoast Maine.

At Berry Cottage, simplicity is celebrated, capturing the essence of summers in this idyllic region. Picture carefree days with bare feet in the sand, leisurely bike rides, and lobster bakes by the water's edge. The cottage exudes warmth and comfort, with careful attention to cozy furnishings and modern amenities.

Step inside to find a welcoming kitchen adorned with bead-board cabinets and equipped with all the essentials for culinary adventures. Adjacent, the dining area offers captivating waterfront views, while the inviting living room centers around a grand fireplace, providing the perfect spot for relaxation. Step through sliding French doors to the sunroom and screened-in porch, a versatile space ideal for morning coffee, afternoon siestas, or sunset gatherings.

​​​​​​​The primary bedroom, a recent addition boasting high ceilings and abundant natural light, provides a serene retreat. Upstairs, discover three additional bedrooms, one of which is connected to another. An unplugged bunk house with two twin beds, nestled in a separate cottage on the grounds, offers a fun escape for big kids during the warmer months.

Outside, the sandy beach and private dock beckon for boating, fishing, and waterfront adventures. Explore the island on foot or by bike, as Spruce Head Island offers scenic pathways and friendly surroundings.

Conveniently located between St. George and Owls Head, with easy access via causeway to the mainland, Berry Cottage provides a gateway to coastal exploration. Nearby towns like Rockland, Rockport, and Camden offer cultural attractions, while day trips to Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park, Boothbay Harbor, and Portland promise unforgettable experiences.

Our family group of 7 loved our stay at Berry Cottage. It’s a little bit cozy upstairs - some will have to walk through another bedroom to get to theirs, or to get to a bathroom. But the location is amazing, it’s very quiet, the beds are really comfortable and the cottage is clean, well loved — but not overly precious like some — and nicely equipped. Management folks are very helpful and responsive. The dock and beach are a huge plus for swimming and boating.

The property could use a notebook with local information like passwords to WiFi and codes to outbuilding. Aside from this it was great.
