Colonial Gables Oceanfront Village

Coastal Comfort Just Minutes from Belfast’s Live Music Scene

Modern concert energy meets classic Maine charm at Colonial Gables Oceanfront Village. Set on 10 acres along the scenic Penobscot Bay, this Belfast retreat offers cozy rooms and cottages—each with a private balcony or patio overlooking the ocean. Whether you're road tripping for a show or planning a weekend concert getaway, the relaxed, nature-forward vibe delivers a peaceful home base.

Why Concert-goers love it

The hotel is just a short drive from Belfast’s downtown music venues and under 15 miles from Fort Knox, which hosts seasonal events and performances. After a high-energy night out, guests appreciate the quiet, coastal setting—perfect for unwinding. Flexible check-in at 16:00 and checkout at 11:00 gives you time to settle in and sleep off a late night. Plus, the private balconies offer an ideal setting for a mellow morning-after coffee with ocean views.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Couples making a romantic weekend out of a concert night
- Fans who prefer a quieter, retreat-style stay after a loud venue

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the cottages feature kitchenette facilities, making it easy to prep late-night snacks. You’ll also find a variety of local eateries and cafes within a short drive, many open late in the summer months. Morning hunger after a night out? Head into town for all-day breakfasts and hearty diner fare.

Nightlife Options

You won’t find a nightclub on-site, but the quiet beachfront setting is perfect for winding down with a drink under the stars. Just a few minutes away in downtown Belfast, there are live music bars, local breweries, and cozy pubs to keep the night going before heading back to your seaside cottage.

What People Say
