About this cottage rental
Enjoy the rustic charm of an original 1800s Bayside gingerbread cottage! Savor the view from the front porch, relax with a good book, or chat with neighbors as they stroll by -- this is a friendly summer community! Driftwood Cottage sleeps six in three bedrooms (one double, one set of twins, one set of detached bunk beds in a small alcove) and one bath (claw foot tub with shower). We furnish bed linens, but you should plan to bring your own towels. Porch furniture, charcoal grill and picnic table provided. Available July and August.
Visible from the front porch, the water's edge is just a block away -- as is the Village Center, a family-friendly focal point for summer fun. Children frolic on the playground swings, while older kids play pick-up games on the basketball court. At the Village pier and float, children of all ages splash in the bay under the careful watch of a lifeguard. Youngsters can learn to sail in classes offered through the Village Yacht Club. Rental kayaks are available nearby, and can be beached here. Many summer residents are sailors, and their moored boats dot the Bayside shoreline. Northport Golf Club is just a few blocks away and welcomes visitors.
Historic Bayside: Established as a Wesleyan summer camp meeting community in the 1800s, Bayside's original homes -- tents on wooden platforms -- were subsequently transformed into Victorian gingerbread cottages that now are gaily painted in a variety of hues. The village comes to life during the summer season, with American flags flying, colorful flowers overflowing their planter boxes, cats snoozing in the sun, residents rocking on their front porches, and friendly folks strolling the streets and socializing along the way.
Nearby Attractions: From Bayside, it's just a short drive to Lincolnville Beach, where the ferry leaves for Islesboro. A few miles farther down are hiking trails in the Camden Hills (Mt. Battie), and the beautiful town and harbor of Camden. The Farnsworth Museum, famous for its Wyeth collection and more, is situated not far beyond Camden in Rockland, another seaport, which offers day cruises and overnight windjammer sails. A little farther down the coast you can cruise to Puffin Island, where the birds were reintroduced successfully in the 1980s, or visit a botanical garden in Boothbay Harbor.
In the opposite direction, you can head into picturesque Belfast with its new shipbuilding facility and small working harbor. In Searsport, don't miss the Penobscot Marine Museum with its historical perspective on the area's seafaring days. Farther East are the Penobscot Narrows Bridge and Observatory.
On up the coast are spectacular Acadia National Park (not to be missed!) and the towns of Bar Harbor, Northeast Harbor, Seal Harbor and Southwest Harbor on Mount Desert Island. There you can go sightseeing, whale-watching, island-hopping, and more. En route you'll pass a water park in Ellsworth, mini-golf, and other attractions.
Antiques shops, art galleries and restaurants abound throughout the Midcoast Region.
Countless families make Bayside their annual vacation destination throughout their children's growing up years -- and beyond. Kids who come for successive summers establish lifelong friendships.

Fun location with fascinating history, playground, sea swimming and hiking. Old-school cabin with wood interior and twisty stairs. Kids (6 and 9) loved it. Adults liked the rocking chairs.

Classic summer cottage, rustic, great location, basic amenities and location close to the action of Bayside. Easy walk to the water, friendly community and located close to area sites and activities. Cottage is a throw back with few updates, but clean, cozy and relatively comfortable. We spent a lot of relaxing time on the porch. Would visit again next summer!

Staying in this cottage made us feel like we were back in the1940's and 50's. Loved the authentic furnishings of the property. Quite charming! Great location - only a block from the waterfront.

This cottage is a throwback; exposed wooden studs with knob and tube wiring running through it. If you want luxe (or up to code) keep looking!! But if you want something with nostalgia, a sweet front porch and cozy eat in kitchen in a great location, this is it! The check in was very simple and the property manager was available by phone or email. We had a wonderful time in Midcoast Maine

Great Stay
We loved our time in Bayside in this quaint cottage. It was like time travel. You can imagine what it was like to live here 100 years ago so easily. Lovely neighbours. Beautiful scenery. Our kids even had a go on the biggest slip n slide they have ever seen. Only issue was car parking as there is an ongoing dispute over ownership of the parking bay adjacent. We just parked out front instead with no issues.

This property is exactly as advertised. Great location, friendly people, clean and great for price.
We really enjoyed our stay here. The property is exactly how it is described. The weather was unusually hot when we stayed and there is no air conditioning, but several fans are available in the house. There is also no internet service. I enjoyed unplugging.
There were fresh flowers waiting for us. The house is old but spotless. The kitchen cabinets are well stocked with pots, pans, utensils, and dishes, if you want to stay in for meals.
We enjoyed walking around the neighborhood and along the water. The area is very safe and family friendly. There is so much to do in the area.

Mainestay
We loved our stay. Old school cottage - like stepping back to the 1950's, but with a well-appointed kitchen (new stove, good supply of nice pots and pans, dishes, etc.) Quiet neighborhood, friendly neighbors, short walk down the street to the harbor.

Basic Cabin Had What We Needed
This is a rustic cabin in the truest sense! If you are looking for fancy frills, look elsewhere! This was old and cozy and just as advertised. One does not go to Bayside to spend one's days inside. This cabin was a perfect representation of the historical village. The neighbors, very close by, were all warm, friendly, quiet and helpful; the sense of community in Bayside can not be beat! We appreciated the many window fans which helped to cool the cabin off at the end of the day, and the many blankets to snuggle under if we went to sleep with the fans on and found ourselves cold in the wee hours. Thanks so much for sharing this accommodation with us!
