About this house rental

Seaworthy is a 1929 fisherman's cottage located in New Harbor, Maine. Seaworthy is newly renovated providing modern conveniences and original Maine craftsmanship. Renovation includes a spacious deck where you can watch the boats come in. The first floor bedroom has a full size bed and adjoining full bath. The large 400 square foot primary bedroom has a queen size bed, seating area, and lovely harbor views. The third bedroom has a full size bed and great harbor views. Seaworthy has two full bathrooms one on each level, a living room, laundry room, and an eat in full kitchen. Every room has gleaming wood floors. We offer a newly renovated home that is beautiful, comfortable, full of art, antiques, and all things Maine. Please note: The stairs to the second floor are quite steep and may not be suitable for some guests.

Seaworthy is situated on a hill overlooking the harbor in New Harbor Maine-one of Maine's most picturesque working harbors. You’ll watch the sun rise and set, the lobster boats come and go, and the ever changing tides. The lobster wharf where boats come and go bringing in their lobster catch is across the street. The freshest most delicious seafood is available at the wharf. Seagulls circle the harbor and seals are often spotted in the harbor. You can sit and watch the activity from the deck or the many windows in the house. Seaworthy's roots come from a working fishing family and is a perfect home to visit if you love the ocean and Maine coast. Seaworthy is an all season home so you can enjoy the fall and winter months as well as the spring and summer seasons. C.E. Riley and Son Grocer is located within a mile of the home and is open all year. They have a wonderful deli and bakery at the store. There are many things to do in each season.

The sights just outside Seaworthy are spectacular. You may explore the beautiful rocky Maine coast or just sit and enjoy the ebb and flow of the ocean surf all within walking distance. Rachel Carson Preserve is a quarter mile from the home; Pemaquid Beach and Maine's most photographed lighthouse just 3 miles away. The ferry to Monhegan island is located at the lobster wharf across the street, just steps from the house. During summer months thru fall you can take the 12 mile ride to Monhegan island for a day trip or take seal and Puffin tours. October is spectacular for the amazing leaf colors splashed across the region.

The home is an hour and fifteen minutes north of Portland and 2.5 hours north of Boston and Manchester which makes a flight in very easy. The coastal route to Seaworthy wanders thru and near many beautiful towns such as Wells, Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, Portland, Freeport, Brunswick, Bath, Wiscasset, and Damariscotta. There are many opportunities for day trips north and south of the house. There are many antique shops and art galleries for every taste.

These are some of our favorite things to do and we hope you’ll have a chance to find your own too!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in New Harbor with our two adult children and their spouses. The three bedrooms and two bathrooms worked great, and the kitchen is a nice size and well equipped. The location next to a beautiful harbor is so nice, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching the lobster boats and getting beautiful harbor pictures. all times of the day

We had a wonderful vacation! The house was the perfect Coastal Maine vacation home! It was beautifully decorated and very clean, the beds were also very comfortable. Very convenient to a restaurant ( across the road), grocery store, and Pemaquid beach, which is absolutely beautiful.. Also 5 minutes from LaVerna Preserve, definitely worth the hike out onto the rocks! We hated to leave. SEAWORTHY was definitely WORTH it. A

This is a sweet house in a beautiful setting. Bright and airy, comfortable, with a well-stocked kitchen. We really enjoyed our time there. Two things to be aware of are: the stairs to the top floor are steep and very narrow; Monday mornings are noisy due to the garbage and diesel trucks servicing the working wharf across the street. We took a one-day trip to Monhegan Island, and it was very convenient to catch the boat right across the street. All in all, we loved staying at Seaworthy.

Wonderful property -- very nicely decorated and very clean house. Two drawbacks: 1) stairs to second floor are VERY steep, a concern for those with mobility issues (though there is a first floor bedroom and bath), 2) view from the porch is wonderful, but it is on a state road, so trucks and loud mufflers sometimes interrupt the tranquility. No place is perfect but this comes close.

Beautiful property. Very well decorated. Fun being across from Shaws Wharf and hearing the bands playing. Stairs are very very steep. Not very safe for our 6 and 3 year old. Or older folks. Downstairs bedroom was very stuffy. One small fan didn’t help. Lots of earwig bugs in both bathrooms. Won’t go with Vrbo again as they charged extra 300 falsely accusing that we left a mess. No instructions on what to do when we left. The only “mess “ we left is we didn’t strip beds. We removed trash and recycling and ran dishwasher. No communication from caretakers .

We had a wonderful stay! House was very clean and the owners quickly responded every time we had a question. The home is beautifully decorated and we were provided a manual of all the local eats and attractions prior to our stay. We will, certainly, book again!
