Turkey Cove Cottage

Step inside Turkey Cove Cottage, and you'll immediately feel right at home amid the retreat's stylish and carefully considered design, amazing views, and ideal location! Turkey Cove is a stunning section of the St. George Peninsula sandwiched between the villages of Tenants Harbor and Port Clyde.

This cottage sits on a knoll with unimpeded views from inside the house as well as the large deck at the front. The lawn slopes down towards the cove, flanked by ancient apple trees and tall grasses. The property also has deeded access to Turkey Cove which means you can walk down to explore the waterfront, cast a line at high tide, or kayak from the shore when the tide is right. Your vacation home is also ideally situated for scenic walks, long runs, or bike rides to Port Clyde Village or Drift Inn Beach, one of the area’s only sandy beaches. Tenants Harbor Village is also close by. The larger cities of Rockland and Camden/Rockport are vibrant and diverse downtown areas, easily accessible from the home.

The living room is comfortable and roomy, making it the perfect place to lounge and watch your favorite TV shows after outdoor adventures. Above the living room is a loft, accessed by a ship’s ladder, that is a favorite place for guests of a certain age to play, sleep, read, and imagine. The kitchen is well equipped with a “gathering table” in the center, with lots of counter space and all you could need for meals of any sort. There is also a small dining area between the kitchen and the living room that often does double duty as a place to put together puzzles, play a mean game of cribbage, or look through treasures collected throughout the day. The primary bedroom is private and set at the back of the house, providing a sunny and roomy space with an en suite.

Boasting awe-inspiring sunrises and sunsets to look forward to, you'll begin and end every day with picturesque views.

Amazing Spot and Location
We loved our stay at Turkey Cove. The location close to Port Clyde was fabulous and the house was cute and comfortable. We especially loved the ever changing view of the cove!

Lovely property; stunning surroundings
This is a lovely property and we were fortunate to have the Maine coast on five consecutive sunny, warm days! As we packed up the car to leave it rained briefly. There are many wonderful walks nearby or a short drive or bike ride away. You really do not have to leave this peninsula to enjoy a holiday.

Nice, Clean Cottage
We really enjoyed our stay at Turkey Cove Cottage. As rental property owners ourselves there were a few things we really appreciated and just a couple suggestions. The things we liked....The outdoor shower is great and since it is on the east side of the property, it warmed up nicely on our Oct mornings! The cottage was nicely decorated and most items were updated. Having washer and dryer was great. The sunset views from deck were fabulous and even got to see the local flock of turkeys a few times! Loved the apple trees too and even enjoyed a couple. A few suggestions-A smart TV wouldn't be missed. because there is no cable. (which also would have been nice)..the existing TV doesn't allow for the use of any applications not already loaded....Amazon Prime for example. The sofa and chair in the living room are in need of replacement. And, the properties "amenities" needs to be updated....the Washer/Dryer wasn't listed, nor was the coffee pot/hair dryer.....there may be others but these stood out. All in all, we'd rent this house again!

Charming and comfortable cottage with a great view
We absolutely loved our one week stay at Turkey Cove Cottage. The cottage is situated next to the water and we enjoyed a magnificent view while dining outside on the deck. The kitchen is very well equipped and we found everything we need to cook several meals. We enjoyed exploring the area including Port Clyde, Tenants Harbor, Monhegan Island, Thomaston, Camden, and Rockland. Lots of birds for bird enthusiasts. We will definitely be back!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: All said and done, we had a great summer holiday in Maine, once again. We’ve been coming for over 15 years now, and Summer Maine has worked with us, year after year, to provide a great experience. This was not our original rental, and we were moved here mid-stay, due to issues with House #1. That said, the home was well appointed, well positioned on the water, and Lesley well cared for by its owners.

Lovely house in a beautiful location...could use a few updates.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Lovely home with a fantastic location and view. Stocked very well with amenities that made our lives easier. Some updates are needed: the beds are all too short and uncomfortable/sagging. The coaches are old and sag, and there is no TV. We couldn't get the streaming Netflix and DVD player to work. Some cranks on windows were broken and no one came to fix them when requested.

Just as advertised
Perfect clean house with a wonderful view. It was apparent the owners care about the renters, the towels and sheets were crisp and the house looked and smelled fresh. Great morning runs to port Clyde for a captains breakfast at the general store. I loved it here!

Lovely stay at Turkey Cove
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beatific spot - quiet, peaceful, and scenic. A short drive from Drift Inn beach, which was perfect for a toddler, esp at low tide - very shallow, lots of sand, etc. Only thing to be aware of is that the location is a solid 25 minutes from Rockland and most other things, so it’s a bit of a drive to go out to eat or get anywhere. Recommend making the trip to McLoons Lobster Shack - so nice, we went twice.
