Escape to Bella Vista, a 3-bed, 2-bath cottage retreat in Tenant’s Harbor, ME!


Welcome to Bella Vista, our tranquil mid-coast Maine getaway! This cozy, artistically crafted Cape Cod–style home features 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, situated just moments from the shimmering waters of Turkey Cove on the scenic peninsula of St. George, ME within minutes from Tenants Harbor and Port Clyde. Enjoy sweeping water views, direct access to the cove, and a spacious private yard and back deck — perfect for families, friends, or a quiet retreat.

Inside, you’ll find a bright, newly renovated kitchen and open living area with abundant natural light, comfortable furnishings, and a fully equipped kitchen ideal for home-cooked meals. Each bedroom is tastefully furnished to provide restful accommodations, and both bathrooms feature modern fixtures and linens.

Step outside to your private deck equipped with a table and chairs to enjoy your morning coffee while overlooking the cove, roll out to the lawn for an afternoon nap, or stroll down the gentle path to the shoreline where you can cast a line, or simply listen to the tides.

Living and dining spaces: ideal for relaxed conversation or family game time.
Bedrooms: three well-appointed rooms offering comfort and privacy.
Two full bathrooms —one on each floor — for convenience.
Direct access to Turkey Cove: walk down to the water’s edge for tide-pooling, or peaceful shoreline views.
Spacious yard and back deck with seating: perfect for grilling, outdoor meals, or evening sunsets by the firepit.
Reliable WiFi and streaming TV for evening unwind.

Location
Nestled on the picturesque mid-coast of Maine in the charming town of St. George, this home offers a perfect blend of tranquility and accessibility. Turkey Cove, a scenic tidal inlet on the St. George River, provides a serene escape from the busyness of life. A short drive or bike ride will take you to the delightful hamlet of Tenants Harbor, the artistic community of Port Clyde, the sandy Drift Inn Beach, as well as local lobster shacks, galleries, and boat launches. The vibrant cities of Rockland and Camden are also easily accessible from this location.

Couples seeking a scenic mid-coast Maine escape with water views and private outdoor living.
Extended-family get-togethers or multi-generation groups who want shared space and separate rooms.
Anyone wanting a “home base” to explore coastal Maine while returning to a peaceful retreat.

Details & Notes
Sleeps up to 6 (3 bedrooms) comfortably.
Please note that access to the shoreline is by a natural path—while carefully maintained, it involves gentle sloping terrain.
Given the natural setting, we recommend bringing sneakers or water shoes that can get wet if you plan to walk to the cove.
No smoking inside.
No pets allowed.
Please note there is an Outdoor security floodlight camera positioned between the garage door and the basement entrance.
Check-in and check-out details and a complete guest guide will be provided upon booking.

Unit was as advertised. Host communicated several times and answered all questions and made suggestions for meals and entertainment. All kitchen appliances and washer dryer were brand new. New outside gas grill if you want to do some cooking and nice outside fire pit for enjoying cool evenings with an adult beverage. If you are thinking about a fire you should bring some fire starting supplies. This is not a negative comment but there are a lot of stair steps to navigate so if you have a bum knee just be prepared. Unit is in the countryside but restaurants are nearby and food is good. The silence is deafening. Would rent again if given the opportunity. Unit stocked with games, activities for children even though we didn’t have any with us this time.

We had a wonderful time! Everything was immaculate when we arrived and the house was exactly as described. So many lovely touches throughout - cooking supplies, fire pit, and all the books and games. We enjoyed everything so much. And of course the best part was enjoying morning coffee facing the water each morning. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

This lovely house overlooking a picturesque cove was a perfect base for our weeklong vacation. The house was spotless. The kitchen was exceptionally well provisioned, and it was clear that guests' comfort and enjoyment of the property had been thoughtfully planned. A grill on the porch and a fire pit on the sizeable lawn added to cooking options, and a relaxing space to enjoy s'mores. There were toys, games, and books for children, as well as current novels for adults. The yard, surrounded by trees and flowers, suggested an escape to a private world, yet shopping, local sites, and adventures were an easy car or bike ride from the property. Liliana was a gracious host and responsive to all questions. Like all wonderful vacations, it was hard to leave.
