We were so impressed with Colonial Gables! The cottage was immaculate, and every system (heat, a/c, etc) worked perfectly. The view was great, as were the grounds. Very dog friendly. I’m really picky, but there was nothing I would change. Thanks so much!!
We love this place! We stayed here in October 2021 and enjoyed ourselves, so we thought we'd try it in the warmer weather. We are only staying one night, but Cottage 4 is comfy, clean, and has everything we need. Full kitchen, patio, two beds... lots of room. Beach is clean, grounds are well groomed, and more importantly, it's quiet.
Quaint resort with motel rooms at front and various size cottages on the bayfront property. Our cottage was clean and included a king bed, table with 2 chairs, shower/bathroom and kitchenette with 2 burners, microwave, coffee maker and small fridge/freezer plus dishes/utensils. Staff was friendly and if there's something you don't have in your cottage inquire. We borrowed a lobster pot & utensils for an enjoyable lobster boil one evening. It's a homey, family friendly resort with a playground, horse shoe pits and evening bon fire.
Great, affordable place to stay. We have been going here for dour years now and will continue to do so. We love the location situated right on the water (bay) with a great private beach. The town of Belfast is charming, we love the Saturday farmer's market, good resturants and the lively atmosphere in town.
I specifically chose to stay here because they had waterfront cottages. Based on the pictures that the management had put on their website it looked clean and fairly kept up. I understand wear and tear as well as staffing shortages. Our cottage was quaint but lacked ambience. The bedroom, which had 2 queen beds, were set up so that one bed's foot area faced the other bed's foot area. The beds were not made up very professionally and the bedding was old. In Fact, all the furniture was old. I didn't mind that so much because we had a unit that was right on the water. What I did mind was that there were mismatched dishes, only 2 spoons, and it worried me that the management asked people to wash their own dishes and put them away, no dishwasher, which always worries me that the previous people were not as conscientious as others. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and I know that the cost to upgrade, remodel and have housekeeping is high.
