Experience the serene vacation off the grid you've always wanted at KenMa Cottage. This oceanfront home is about peace and quiet, the kind that comes from sitting on a deck overlooking the water and reading a book or walking along rocks smoothed by the sea. A place where time is only measured by the tides, lobster boats coming in from the haul, or the sun sinking behind the spikey pines across the water.

Kendrick Marshall (or KenMa, for short) ran the Port Clyde General Store in the early 1900s and manned the village’s post office. His ancestors still own the cabin and are making it available to people outside the family for the first time in more than 50 years.

Several renovations in the 1980s include an eat-in kitchen with an electric stove, sink, refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker, a small bathroom with a shower, and a cozy bedroom. The covered deck is just feet from the shore and overlooks the many islands of Muscongus Bay. In the mornings, lobster boats work nearby; in the afternoons, sailboats and kayaks glide by on silver waters. Great books, good conversation, strolls along the shore, and walks to the village replace the need for electronics.

A cabin in woods
You are paying for the million dollar view and if you are a Wyeth fan you are 2 doors down from NC Wyeth property he bought in the 1920's Do not drink water nor give to your dog as it has salt in it. It is basic cabin in the woods plain and simple off grifthwoods

Charming, cozy, cottage, spectacular sunsets, a prompt service
I loved the cottage -- very simple, relaxing, in a remote waterfront location. To me: a cottage. To my partner: a shack...but very nice shack. The fireplace threw out enough heat to keep us cozy in the mornings and evenings (late Sept visit). When it was time to leave, our dog stretched out on the grass, his expressive eyes saying "Are you guys serious? Why are we leaving?" On the not so great: the tap water was too salty for drinking/not potable. We were not prepared for this; however, the management promptly delivered 5-gallon jugs. We brought our own firewood to keep us going for a few days...then hunted down expensive little bundles.

The perfect place to relax!
Everything about this cottage helped us to relax. The view was a amazing and we spent plenty of time just sitting on the comfortable chairs on the porch reading, watching the water and wildlife. The decor is charmingly spare. We enjoyed a fire several nights as the weather was still cool in June. We found the bed to be very comfortable and slept so well in the peace and quiet. The bathroom is simple but adequate. We had an issue with the sink and communication was prompt. The walk to town is easy so this is a place that you could just park your car and not have to drive anywhere for days.

Just a wonderful property in all ways in a prime location with stunning views in a very small and quiet working fishing town. Perfect in our eyes!

The setting is lovely!
We've been staying in various cottages in and around Port Clyde for many years. This was our first time in Hellofaspot. While the setting is beautiful and the old cottage quite homey and comfortable, we were very disappointed in the lack of cleanliness compared to the other places we've rented over the years. Due to Covid concerns this year, housekeeping needed extra hours to clean(we couldn't get in until 5PM and previous renters had to leave before 9 AM). Because if this extra time spent cleaning, we felt confident that our place would be safe. But in fact, we spent our first hours wiping down surfaces left untouched by housekeeping, in addition to other tasks that needed attention. The whole place is in need of a deep clean, both inside and out. Aside from this, we had a great time in the cottage and loved the front lawn. The entry down to the dock was a bit precarious to navigate but once down, it was a fascinating view of all the activities in the harbor. The sunsets and stars were breathtaking.

What a view!
Perfect location, walked to dinner, ice cream, store and ferry. Watch the lobster boats from the house. Comfortable house. In town but private. We had a wonderful week!
