About this house rental

Sunny and bright, loads of light! Come and enjoy our clean, comfortable home away from home!

Our cedar-shaked, one-floor home welcomes you with vibrant flowerboxes and several flower beds on an acre in beautiful Maine. The two bedrooms (one with a double bed, one with twin beds) are complimented by the large sunny family room (with two queen futons) which leads to a private flagstone patio through French doors. The queen sofa bed in the living room is also available for sleeping. There is one full bathroom with bathtub; the shower has great water pressure to wash away your beach day's sand! Washer/dryer on are on site; there is an outdoor clothesline for drying beach towels and suits.

The home is well-suited for gatherings of your family and friends--settle by the indoor fireplace or relax around the outdoor fire pit for an evening campfire. The open-concept, fully equipped kitchen with bay window and the dining area are easily accessible to the large sunny deck via sliders and doors. The gently sloping lawn supports a large area for children to play safely nearby. Our large library of books allows you to read and relax whether you are out on the deck, down at the Point, or sitting on the beach! Our collection of DownEast magazines may help you plan your Maine adventures and excursions during your stay. And for those rainy days, there are many games and puzzles!

Famous Pemaquid Point Lighthouse lies just south down the road (2.5 miles) and the white sands of Pemaquid Beach are 1 mile east. We are located in the village of New Harbor with a quaint, fully-stocked grocery store, gas station, hardware/fishing gear store, ice cream stand, Maine artists' galleries & craft shops, and a bank/ATM all within walking distance from the house. New Harbor is central to all Midcoast Maine cities and towns--Freeport to Camden are within an hour of travel time. The twin cities of Damariscotta/Newcastle are the closest 'big' towns to our home.

Water sports (kayaking/canoeing, sailing, swimming (ocean, lake, river swimming 'hole'), fine restaurants, birding, Hardy Boat Tours (including Monhegan Island and the Maine coast), hiking, shopping/antiquing are all within several miles of our home. The Botanical Gardens in Boothbay are a must see! For children, there are many activities: beach fun, tide pool explorations, hands-on activities at the local Colonial Pemaquid Museum and the Boothbay Harbor Aquarium to name a few.

We had a two night stay in beautiful New Harbor. Close to the beach, sights, and restaurants. House was very clean & well appointed kitchen. Loved sitting out in the deck for lunch and late afternoon sun. Just need to mention it is 3 stairs down to Kitchen, back bedroom, & bath if there are accessibility issues.

We stayed here for two nights. Location is perfect for the Bristol, New Harbor, Pemaquid area. We appreciated that the house was dog friendly so we could bring our pets. One thing to note is the layout of the house, its all one long row, and the bedroom with the full size bed is located such that people need to pass through it to get from the front door to the rest of the house. Overall we enjoyed our stay here.

Returned for our second stay after our initial rental last year. This is a clean, comfortable home with character. The location makes for a short drive to the lighthouse (and a short walk to the ice cream stand). The homeowner is friendly and responsive - really easy to deal with!

Great location, walkable to (non chain) grocery sore with a surprisingly substantial selection of items as well as a nearby local craft shop. Cottage was clean, homey and much larger than we anticipated. We had an enjoyable time seeing the area sights, all in all a great stay.
