Compass Rose is located at beautiful Sandy Point beach in Stockton Springs. Twenty minutes from Belfast, Forty minutes drive from Camden or Bangor, and an hour to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. This private three-bedroom waterfront property sleeps five and features a wraparound screened porch with views of the Penobscot. The living room has a cathedral ceiling and french doors onto the porch. Once you arrive you may never want to leave, but this lovely cottage is within an easy drive of Several National and State Parks, and much more, so you can relax and explore to your hearts content.
The master bedroom offers a comfortable queen bed—high enough to open your eyes each morning to the beautiful sunrise and beach. This bedroom abuts a bath with shower. The second bedroom with Queen bed also looks to the beach and shares a half bath with the third bedroom with a Full sized bed.
The screened porch offers a large dining table for the entire family to gather, and many additional spots for quick meals and snacks throughout the day. In the evening, take in the soothing sights and sounds of the ocean while enjoying your freshly caught lobster feast—safe from the reach of pesky mosquitos.
No doubt you will spend lots of time on the tranquil beach watching the sandpipers, loons and the occasional bald eagle cruise by. But, as night falls, you'll probably move inside to the covered porch for the evening meal and socializing. Day or night you'll be drawn to the bright and comfortably appointed living room featuring a cathedral ceiling and plenty of natural light—a perfect spot to curl up with a good book.
You can't go wrong choosing a peaceful nook to relax in at Compass Rose Cottage—inside or out. The outside features privacy-fenced side yards, a movable hammock and well-equipped cooking grill. When you've had enough relaxation, local kayak rentals are available in Bucksport (7 miles), or you can take a walk around Fort Point State Park & Lighthouse. Privacy, serenity, and naturally beautiful surroundings are what make this Maine Cottage a true secret hideaway. The home is located directly on waterfront within steps to the beach.

On the Water in Maine was a great company to book travel with! They made it very easy and kept us informed every step of the way.
Property
Awesome cottage! Loved the porch and the fireplace on the beach. We used the fireplace almost every night. Compass Rose is strategically located between Bangor, Rockland, and Acadia National Park. Everything we wanted to see was within an hours drive. Loved how calm this place was.
Disclosures
Please do not park or drive on the beach and adhere to the driving and access directions sent 21 days prior to check-in. The water is tidal and can come up rather close to the property line so for your safety, please park at the designated spot. The beach/cottage is located on Sandy Point but the beach, as seen in pictures, is rather pebbly and a true northern Maine beach

Town Info - Bayside Village, Northport, Belfast, & Stockton Springs
Really two towns (legally) - Belfast and Northport are neighbors, and then Bayside is located inside of the town of Northport. While only a short distance from coastal Route 1, Bayside remains a well-kept secret; a small hamlet that takes one back to a simpler, uncomplicated time. A few years back, DownEast Magazine did a great article on Bayside that is still mostly relevant today. Click HE...
