ALWAYS a wonderful stay at Colonial Gables, have been coming here for many years(several times during each year), and every cottage is lovely. Feels like a second home, so much better than air bnb! It's right off a busy road but you'd never know it, and being on the bay is the most magnificent view, plus the extra breezes off the water. Great location not far from beautiful downtown Belfast, lobster pound, vintage stores, and more. Hosts are always very personable and responsive, much appreciated. Looking forward to my next visit!

...that I couldn't stay longer...but will be back soon 😁

Our motel room was very clean, and very tastefully decorated. There would have been a fine view of the bay from our deck, except that it was foggy while we were there. The grounds are very well-kept and attractive. The bed was comfortable, and the WIFI worked well. The only negative was that it was a bit chilly the evening we were there, but the heating mode on the room's split ductless heat pump unit wasn't working. I reported it to the person in the office, and he said he would have it checked out the next day. He then offered the use of a portable radiator heater, and even had one of the staff come over to the room with one and set it up for us... great service.

We loved being able to see the Penobscot Bay from our cottage. Loved the floral welcome - scented and gorgeous. The staff were very great. John made some very helpful suggestions. The king bed was very comfortable and the bathroom and the kitchenette adequate. I think a few more hooks would be helpful for hanging a robe or jacket. Great jumping off point for going to Camden and Acadia. Downtown Belfast was lovely. Seaport was interesting.

The exterior could use a little love. Barnacles on fence and deck should be power washed off.

This was our second stay here. We came back because of the beach (rocky Maine beach, not sand but not boulders). The water was warm, which is great. This year we stayed in a one-bedroom cottage unit that had a two-burner stove small frig and a deep sink. The size was fine for making breakfast and lunch at the unit. The unit had a 3/4 bath which was fine.

The only issues we had was the King size bed was too big for the room. The built-in dresser had a spare pillow and blanket in it so only one drawer was usable, an issue in the small space.

2nd room was great clean nice drive up.bedding had laundry soap smell so if your sensitive bring your own has a great deck

The first room was full of some kind of perfume I had booked ahead and requested ground floor no perfumes...was first told no other rooms available.when I went in instead of husband and asked if any of the other rooms had not been checked into then they let me switch to one that was not smelly.that switch should have been easy . I had to end up very upset and thinking I had to find another motel before the switch was agreed to.

Spectacular view! Literally feet from the water. Lovely accommodation. Comfortable bed. Next time will get the cottage with separate living room. I have already marked my calendar for January….to make my summer 2025 reservation! Dora, front office, was a peach.

2 windows needed to be propped open, to stay up. Deck didn’t have a roof for sun cover. But I did not check, with the office, for available umbrella. Neither of these issues will deter me from making my next reservation

The location was wonderful, staff friendly and it was quiet

No where to hang towels up in the bathroom (hooks on the door would be a nice addition), no rug when walking in the front door so we tracked mud and dirt everywhere, no filters for the coffee pot, so we left some! Also, a recycling bin would be nice to have. Really only minor things.

Beach front bungalow-styled cottage overlooking shuffleboard courts (my favorite), sand, and water. Beach combing opportunities melded in with sitting on the front porch enjoying the ocean air and listening to the harbor bells. A relaxing, peaceful experience close by to hiking, rowing, and shopping nestled perfectly in between Belfast and Searsport.

The location on the beach, really fantastic. Our cottage was small, but very cozy.

The bed seemed very nice, but unfortunately when sleeping on it, the mattress was not comfortable and the pillows were old and different from each other. The very thin blanket and the bedspread sewn in several places, very old lamps and the armchairs did not have a nice fabric to look at. On the patio only a small, slightly larger smoking table would have allowed you to eat outside.

Colonial Gables Oceanfront Village is one of the best places we have stayed at. The accommodations were excellent. Our cottage was spacious, clean and the beds were very comfortable. the grounds were beautiful and well kept. Every cottage and hotel rooms had a beautiful view. Family, pet and ppl friendly, fire pit for the evenings swingset for kids, horseshoe pits volleyball corn hole games. Location was great, easy halfway points north and south for sightseeing, nature, and history. We will definitely be back.

Only 1 thing we did not like is that we couldn't stay longer there.
