Cottage Stay
Our family spent a week at Denise and Ernie's cottage. They have done a wonderful job maintaining / restoring this cottage. It feels very relaxing inside and out. It's very private and quiet and the kids really loved playing on the lawn in between the swims in the ocean. We'd recommend this to people of all ages. Also, the beds were very comfortable!

Classic Maine Experience!
Loved this place! Super clean! From indoors to outdoors, Ernie and Denise covered every detail to make our stay excellent! The cottage is fully stocked with supplies and comforts of home. Speaking of comfort, the master bed was perfect and the view from the windows was as New England as it gets! Outdoors contained: two-man kayak, life jackets, yard games, shovels (for treasure digging at the beach), grill, fire pit, ample seating, picnic table, and even a hammock! My kids had plenty of options for entertaining themselves. After beach and yard play, we spent hours lounging on the deck and soaking in the ocean view and wildlife. Truly, this is a lovely place to stay! I highly recommend.

Maine getaway!!
I don’t think we could have asked for a better place to stay for our first visit to Maine. Hard to beat waking up and going to bed to the sound and smell of the ocean. The cottage was immaculate and had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. The location was great! Centrally located for us to visit all the towns and parks we had hoped to see. I would highly recommend a stay there. If we can manage to get back there I would stay there again.

I am a REALTOR® and I have a love for historic homes and the ocean and I've combined my two loves by purchasing this amazing property in Searsport, Maine.

Why they chose this property

I was immediately captivated by the ocean view and the historic features of the home and cottage. My partner, Ernie loves the ocean as well and is a true "handyman" so with his direction we've enjoyed renovating Colcord cottage. We hope you enjoy it here as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with this property the moment we saw the captivating views of Penobscot Bay. We have completely renovated the cottage and given it a fresh new look without taking away the historic charm. It has a very comfortable and relaxing feel with all of the conviences of home.The living room and breakfast nook has beautiful views of Searsport Harbor and Penobscot Bay. The front deck is a great place to relax, eat and watch the changing tides. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you will need to prepare great meals. There is a full bathroom on the first level. The master bedroom is spacious with a queen bed, a reading nook and offers the best view of all! The 2nd bedroom has 2 twin beds and there is a day bed in the common area on the 2nd level. The lawn is a great place for activities and the beach is a great place to explore or sit and relax.
