Comfort, quiet, and serene view frequently accented by roosting bald eagles. Blue berry hedge with ripe fruit for breakfast in the mornings, plenty of firewood for gathering around the fire pit at night after cooking in the well equipped kitchen. Screen porch another great gathering place which was cool and breezy even on some 90 + degree days. Great location well away from traffic and noise but close to countless great destinations, including nearby trails on preserved Sears Island. I took one star off on accuracy only because Darlene, who was very accessible and easy to work with, needs to update a couple of items on the listing. Highly recommended house rental! Really comfortable beds!

Three couples enjoyed the property and all the area has to offer for a week. Sightseeing during the day and a great, relaxing, accommodating place to come "home" to in the afternoon and evenings . All the comforts of home, enough space to prepare meals, relax and visit, or just enjoy quiet alone time with plenty of seating and room for everyone no matter the weather. Very quiet, peaceful setting.

Relaxing family get together in Maine. 4 adults, 1 toddler and our medium size black lab mix. Huge private yard with amazing water view. Great home base with lots to do in the area, sandy beach, state park and lighthouse as well as beautiful Acadia National park just an hour away. Enjoyed small towns nearby with great restaurants and farmers markets. Our daughter joined us with her 1 year old and was able to work with high speed internet. Perfect family vacation. Wish it was our summer home!

Fabulous location, great amenities, spacious, peaceful. We visited Acadia National Park, Camden, Belfast, Swan Lake, Sears Island. Very private property with lovely views. Great place to relax.

This property and the location was beautiful! Darlene was so easy to work with and the house had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We traveled to Maine for a long overdue vacation with our parents and had the best time. The house is located in a beautiful, quiet area that's a short drive to anything you could want or need. We spent our time exploring the nearby cities and hiking around Acadia and Bar Harbor. We already miss it and cannot imagine how lovely the area is in the fall with the changing colors. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to unwind and enjoy the beauty of Maine's coast.

My family and I had a wonderful weeklong vacation at Darlene’s. The house was beyond equipped with daily necessities and supplies and the host was great with communication. We spent a lot of family time on her beautiful outdoor deck watching the sunset and played many games in the screened in sun porch. Stockton Springs is a nice central location for day trips to Bar Harbor, Castine, Deer Isle, Belfast, and many others. We will definitely be back!

Family of four adults just spent 2 weeks at Fort Point Cove Cottage. Could not have made a better choice. The “cottage” had everything we needed. Kitchen well stocked. Grill for outdoor cooking. Comfortable beds. Large screened-in porch, cool even on the hottest days. Big screen TV for evening movies. A view of Fort Point Cove and the mouth of the Penobscot River. Privacy from neighbors. Bucksport, only minutes away, for all of the essentials. The perfect place to unwind. We found FPCC an excellent location from which to explore Downeast. Camden, Rockport, Belfast, Acadia National Park, and Schoodic Point are all an easy drive for a day trip; we visited them all. Our longest drive for a day trip was to Boothbay Harbor, a 1.5 hours drive. Our recommendations: Young’s Lobster Pound in Belfast, Otter’s Waterfront Eatery in Castine, Big Chicken Barn Books for used books and antiques in Orland, downtown Camden (don’t miss Lily Lupine and Fern for wine; proprietor knows his stuff), and the Littlefield Gallery in Winter Harbor. No trouble in finding your own favorites. The owner, Darlene, great to work with, was readily available for any and all questions or concerns; she checked in regularly by text to be sure we had everything we needed. I recommend FPCC and will book it again in the future.

This was our second visit to Darlene's home in Stockton Springs and it was as good as we'd remembered. The house is comfortable and spacious, with comfortable seating and an excellent bed. The view out over Penobscot Bay is stunning at all times of day and in all weather, and we particular like the huge windows in the living room and the comfortable and well-furnished deck. There are lots of great things about the area--it's a very short drive to the spectacular Penobscot Narrows Bridge, and we love visiting the 420-foot high observatory with its 360 degree view of the area. Fort Know is also a gem, and the waterfront walk in Bucksport is delightful. It's easy to go a bit further afield--we visited Blue Hill one day and the Courthouse Gallery in Ellsworth on another. All together, a wonderful place to stay.

My husband & I have been renting houses for vacations for the past 11 years and this house is hands down the best one we have stayed at. This house has EVERYTHING you could possibly need. It is so clean and the kitchen is well equipped. There is wood supplied for the fire pit or inside fireplace if you like. The views are spectacular overlooking the river/ocean every morning. We came here for a much needed reset during COVID times and it was the best decision we've made in a long time. We had to work for a couple days and our kids did a little remote school work. The internet is super fast! We were all on at the same time. We explored Bangor and did a self guided Stephen King tour. Went to Acadia for hikes twice. We fished in Belfast! Explored Sandy Beach with our dog and Fort Point State Park which is simply lovely. These last two are a 5 min drive from the house. Great grocery stores nearby in Bucksport and Belfast. The star gazing at this house is out of control. Coming from Chicago--- we just don't get those kind of skies. You cannot go wrong booking this house. Thank you Darlene for making such great get-away!

The Fort Point Cove Cottage was very comfortable and located centrally to all the places we wanted to visit while in Maine. It was stocked well with all the dishes, pots, pans and pretty much everything we needed to have a wonderful two week stay. The beds were incredibly comfortable. Darlene was very good at staying in touch and contacting me quickly when I had a question. I would definitely stay there again. Thank You Darlene for the wonderful break from the Arizona heat. It was hard to leave!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed the lovely cottage, and the surrounding area!
