Camden is the premier location in Mid-Coast Maine. The Grove Street Cottage is a charming and updated New England-style home with top to bottom renovations in 2011. The house is furnished with lovely furniture and tasteful decor - all thoughtfully selected by the owners. The main level has the eat-in kitchen with fireplace as well as a comfortable living room, a lovely front porch and deck with grill, laundry and a shower bathroom. Stairs lead from the entry hall to a 2nd floor offering 2 bedrooms and a shared full bathroom. The 3rd floor master suite has an en suite bath and AC and enjoys mountain views from the skylights.
The recent renovation has left many classic features while providing all of the modern conveniences of a new furnishings, new kitchen and updated tasteful decor.
A short walk to town brings you to the beautiful Camden harbor, several restaurants and cafes, shops, and sightseeing. All under the backdrop of mountains and the sea.
The 3rd floor bedroom is where essentially the attic used to be. While it is a beautiful and accommodating bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, it should be noted that a wooden plank floor is the only separation between that room and the two bedrooms on the 2nd floor. Guests staying in the 2nd floor can easily hear every noise coming from the 3rd floor as a result, especially from the bathroom. This may not be a problem for some, but for others, when 6 people are in the house, may be bothered by the normal sounds people make coming from the 3rd floor.

My favorite part of my stay was sleeping with the windows open at night, the fire on cool evenings and sitting on the front porch drinking coffee. Great place to stay!!! Grove Street Cottage was a great location and the kitchen had everything!! It also was decorated so cute!!!

It is a pleasure to work with On the Water. They respond quickly to questions and were able to assist us when there was a scheduling problem with one of the houses we were renting several years ago. I find it very helpful to have someone on-the-ground who can immediately handle any issues that might arise.

We really enjoy staying at the Grove Street house - this is our second year and it was just as fun as last year. The house works well for groups and there is always enough seating for everyone. We got to use the front porch and the side deck this year (rained last year) and they are both great spaces to hang out. Its an easy location to either walk to town or to Megunticook Market which is just around the corner.

Grove Street Cottage is a very thoughtfully and tastefully furnished home in a very convenient location. Everything in the home was very comfortable; the beds, the living room and patio furniture, and even the benches at the kitchen table. Lovely indeed. In almost every way this rental was absolutely wonderful. The only drawbacks for us were that, having the windows open on the third floor, the traffic noise at night was significant and being an old house, and being that the owner has chosen to leave floor joists exposed, sound between the second and third floors is also significant.

Grove Street Cottage was perfect for our visit to Maine. The house is a short walk to the town of Camden. Information packet in the house as well as the info when we checked in helped our stay be even more enjoyable. Loved the Unity Fair. Our one day with a downpour and flooding in the area, we found puzzles to spend our time and could still sit on the wonderful front porch! Our three couples were very comfortable there.

The property was extremely well appointed and decorated in a beautiful quintessential Maine style. It was a great home base for the week.
