About this property

Garden cottage w/ 4 kayaks/gear/dock/patio, parking on Stonington Harbor nearby

Sweet Pea Cottage is an affordable and charming 3 bedroom cottage located just a few minutes walk to downtown Stonington & harbor. It comes with the use of four kayaks and gear located on the dock of our other cottage right on Stonington Harbor, about a 10-15 minute walk away, or few minutes drive (vrbo 30315) - including a parking spot and use of the grounds. It is just down the street from the popular Friday market. The cottage is more modest, yet warm and charming, decorated in a cozy-cottage style with simple antiques and collectibles - very clean, well supplied and surrounded by gardens and mossy-floored woodlands. Smart tv, high speed internet, outdoor seating, gardens, fire pit, gas grill, picnic table and tiny spring creek, too. Need more space. Consider adding attached rustic summer bedroom (2 twins for $25 plus $10/night). While not possessing a direct ocean view, a small path up behind the cottage leads to a hill top which has distant views out of Stonington Harbor, out beyond Isle au Haut, and over to the hills of Camden. Located on Rte 15A (the back side of the island) with quick and easy access to downtown or grocery store, harbor or only a 5 minute drive to nearby Sand Beach. With so much public oceanfront and wide-ranging activities nearby, Sweet Pea Cottage provides ability to enjoy the amenities of Deer Isle and Stonington, but at one of the most cozy and affordable area rentals!

Great cottage in Downeast Maine
We enjoyed staying at this vintage cottage within easy reach of all that this area of Downeast Maine has to offer. Hosts conveniently provided an additional parking spot very near the Isle au Haut ferry boat docks.

First time in Maine
The location of the cottage, halfway between town and the Burnt Cove Market, is so convenient. The cottage itself is homey. The beds were each voted "just right" for sleeping by their occupants. Having a reserved parking spot and use of the kayaks in town was also handy. Aside from this, our hosts helped us find interesting local things to do while waiting a couple of days for the fog to go away, as it finally did. Sunshine! Island views!

A very good experience
The accommodations were both spacious and cozy. Smaller bedrooms but just right for one or two persons and beds and pillows were comfortable. A good washer and dryer was useful, as well as a large, well appointed kitchen. Close to the center of Stonington, with excellent restaurants. Day trips to other towns added variety. Barbara was attentive to our needs and most friendly.

About the host

Hosted by Barbara Wescott

Host profile image
Although I now reside in Florida, my family is from this region. We bought this home to spend more time in the area.

Why they chose this property

It's such a cozy cottage backing to lush woods and interesting moss-covered boulders, but only a quick walk to downtown Stonington and the harbor.

What makes this property unique

While not a fancy place, we really have fixed this place up cute...and it is in a nice and convenient setting, too. It's just a quick walk in to town or the Friday market, and a short path leads to a hilltop with outstanding views across the waters and out to Isle au Haut and the Hills of Camden. Sweet Pea is immaculate and a great deal, likely you won't find anything of better value. But if you like fancy and perfect, this is probably not the place for you.
