Diana’s Dew Drop 2:

Located in the fishing village of Port Clyde, Maine, this charming old cape on the coast has been beautifully renovated into two homes; a delightful mix of old and new, where proximity and privacy are equally important. The two homes are often rented together, sharing a large yard, and storage garage; but have separate parking areas and entrances on opposite sides of the house and both sides tend to be quiet.

Upon arriving at the home you'll note that it is across the street from the tiny village post office, next door is a church, art galleries, and a playground. You are just a short walk to the Port Clyde General Store, Dip Net restaurant, Squid Ink Coffee, and the Wyeth by Water Boat Tours. You are now in the heart of our small fishing community!

Equipped with all the modern touches, you'll have that feeling of getting away from it all without having to give up any comforts of home. The spacious great room with views of the harbor greets you immediately upon entering the cottage. After you set down your luggage, the sights and sounds of the Maine coast and working fishing village are captivating. There is a comfortable sectional sofa, two cushioned armchairs, and a writing desk where you'll happily pen notes home about how wonderful your adventures have been. The room also encompasses a flat-screen television, card games, and books. There have been many family movie nights and exciting games played here. It truly feels like home.

On the other side of the great room, you will enjoy open-concept dining with a table for six and views of the gardens and playground.

Next, you move into the kitchen area, which was designed to maximize space. There are cabinets and hanging racks for pots and pans. In addition to the standard kitchen amenities, there is a microwave, a drip coffeemaker, a Keurig coffee maker, and a blender. In the corner of the room is a stackable washer and dryer. A half bath is located off the kitchen.

Moving upstairs there are two bedrooms, with captivating views from each. It will be hard to decide which is yours. Each has a lovely view and will lull you into a restful sleep as the tidal waters sing a soothing melody along with the hum of lobster boats. The first of the bedrooms has a queen-sized bed, wall-mounted lights, a dresser, smart TV with Basic cable, and a closet. Next door is a spacious bathroom with a toilet, sink with mirror, a tub, shower, and storage for bath linens. The second bedroom has two twin beds, a chaise lounge, two nightstands with lamps, and a dresser. This room has a vaulted ceiling and a clear ocean view of the working waterfront.


For your convenience, we have p
rovided initial supplies of the following: linens, bath towels, washcloths, hand towels, and beach towels. Your first tank of propane for the gas grill and fire pit, dish soap, hand soap, laundry detergent, toilet paper, paper towels, basic cable, wireless internet, and a home phone (long distance is not included) are all complimentary. While we make every effort to assure the accuracy of this listing, as well as the condition of equipment and quality of provided services, we make no implied guarantee of connectivity for wireless internet or services provided by a third party. That being said, we will do everything in our power to remedy any situation as quickly as possible, and we thank you for your understanding.

Outside, there is a large, shared lawn that expands down to the water's edge with Adirondack chairs and a fire pit; perfect for relaxing and reflecting on the excitement of the day while enjoying the sights and sounds of the ocean. Enjoy a glass of wine after a day of exploring the local beach, visiting
galleries, and picnicking at the Marshall Point Lighthouse. The lawn is ideal for having lots of fun playing some of the games provided, such as ladder ball, bocce ball, lawn darts, or bean bag toss, to name a few.

Though there is much space for alone time and privacy the property is a shared lot meaning there could be two separate parties sharing the lawn at the same time as it is a non-traditional duplex. Another thing to keep in mind; Co-op Road is sometimes busy with trucks running up and down before daylight as the lobstermen hurry into work. It is not uncommon to hear trucks on the road at 3 am. In addition, the playground across Co-op Road often attracts some of the local kids creating a bustling public space with some competitive basketball games. This communal area just right next to the house is perfect for younger kids. In addition, the property overlooks the working waterfront and can be a place of a lot of activity and entertainment in the summertime.

Within walking distance to the heart of Port Clyde, you'll enjoy great views all around, while visiting the Village Ice Cream for dessert, the General Store for groceries or supplies, The Dip Net for an incredible meal, Squid Ink Coffee for your favorite pastry or brew, a tour of the Maine Wyeth Gallery, or an informative Wyeth by Water lobster boat tour! We truly have something for everyone!

We also have three churches located in the Port Clyde area; Port Clyde Christian Church, Port Clyde Baptist Church, and Ridge Church.

Here are some things people visiting Maine need to know in advance:

Cell phones: Although coverage is getting better, there are some places where cell phones don't have good reception. Chances are you will have service, but just in case, make sure you leave the number of the house you are renting with those who may need to get in touch with you. Coverage with AT&T can be spotty in many areas of Maine.

Weather: If you have heard it once, you've heard it a hundred times: if you don't like the weather in New England, wait a minute. It can be hot in Rockland and cool in Port Clyde so make sure to pack a variety of clothes — from a bathing suit for hot days to a sweater for cool evenings. Check out the current local weather at www.weather.com.

Bugs: A lot of people ask us if we have mosquitoes...we sure do. But they aren't huge and they don't ruin a vacation. Bring some repellent, or pick some up at the local general stores and you will be fine; usually, you won't even notice them.

Dogs: We love dogs around here, but each town has its own rules about pets. Make sure to look for signs stating if dogs are allowed and always have them on a leash. If they leave behind anything, please pick it up, it's not a fun surprise when you are exploring the beautiful shoreline. You can also be fined for not picking up after your four-legged friend.

Unwanted animals: You probably have them too, but raccoons and skunks can make you regret last night's lobster dinner. No one wants to pick up old, smelly shells that have been cast out onto the lawn by these cute, but curious and disastrously messy, little guys. So please don't put off placing the trash in the secure trashcans provided.

Water: Dew Drop is on town water. The water has been tested and is safe to drink, but some guests prefer bringing bottled water. Particulates, discoloration, and iron taste are not uncommon.


Dew Drop 2 is a Saturday to Saturday rental year-round! This unit is a non-traditional duplex. The duplex has two units, number 2 and number 4. The numbers are for how many bedrooms are in each unit. This cottage best sleeps 2 adults and 2 children.

You can find all of this information in the welcome book!
