I visited the Belfast Cottage with my 15 year old son as a fun father/son getaway trip over the summer. Overall this is a very cute house, the hosts are lovely, and it's very clean and well maintained. That being said, we had two issues with the property, which are more of a personal preference than a complaint. First, the listing said the house had air conditioning, but in reality, it had a single window unit in a small room off the main bedroom. We were there during one of the hottest weeks of the summer and it simply wasn't enough to cool anything besides the one bedroom. It took hours for the house to cool down to a comfortable sleeping level at night, so if you intended to use more than one bedroom, check the weather and make sure its not going to be too hot when you are there. Secondly, I have stayed at enough VRBO properties to know there are two types, those that are investment properties, and those that are the owners personal use properties that they rent out from time to time. This is definitely the latter, with everything from the owners' clothes and food to family photos and personal belongings at every turn. Some people may not be bothered by this, but when I stay at these types of properties, I always feel like I am invading the owners' personal space, and it's uncomfortable. I know it's a personal preference, but houses that are owned to be full-time rentals feel far more comfortable to me. Again, not a complaint, just a personal preference.

Wonderful

Wonderful little place — just as described. Easy walk to town. Nice neighbors. Great little swimming beach!

This property was clean, quiet and very comfortable for a girls trip. Will stay again!

Absolute gem in Belfast! Great views, great location to walk to town and the waterfront. The cottage had everything we needed and the owners were so great with communicating and reached out multiple times to make sure we were all good! Without a doubt I would stay here again!

This property is located on the bay and the view is wonderful. It's a cute, funky place with plenty of room to spread out. The living room is comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked. Our hosts were helpful and communication was easy. Downtown Belfast is within walking distance along with a small grocery market. We really enjoyed our stay. One thing to note, though, is that this would not be a good option for anyone with mobility issues. There are no beds on the main floor and access to 3 upstairs beds is via a tight spiral staircase. It was difficult for 3 older women to get large luggage up those stairs. The other bed is downstairs via an easier staircase. All in all, though, we enjoyed our stay.

Another year at this scenic and comfy spot offered by wonderful hosts.

Magical home that checked all of our boxes. Great views, walkable and relaxing vibe. Our only regret was not having more time to spend here. It's close to Acadia as well.
