Steps From Johns Bay With Gorgeous Views

Great vacation house for a small family. Important note - if you are bringing your dog, be prepared to keep them on leash for the length of your stay.

Our family of 5 visited with our Bernedoodle. The setting was very nice. Pros:-owner was very responsive to all communication before and during visit!-the house was stocked with coffee filters, hand soap, garbage bags, as well as a starter toilet paper and paper towels. -the view from the enclosed porch was beautiful and that was great for coffee, reading, puzzles.-water pressure in the shower was very good, beds were comfy enough, and our teens loved sleeping in the loft. We also appreciated that it was dog friendly and it was near a lot of cool spots. (We loved The Contented Sole restaurant and Harbor Ice Cream; visiting the lighthouse, and walking over to the little Pebble beach by the fort where we could hang out with our dog and wade in the water).-the cottage is as advertised, and smelled freshly cleaned upon walking in.Cons:-The house could use a deep clean. The silverware drawers and cabinets had visible crumbs and such to the point that we washed everything before using it. The bedroom walls had cobwebs and my daughter found broken glass under her bed.-the twin room downstairs smelled strongly of urine, to the point where we had to pull out the area rug and clean the floors, which made it much better. -the water tasted very metallic, to the point that no one would drink it. I didn’t see this mentioned in the listing and would have liked to know to bring water. Overall I’d give 3.5 stars and we did enjoy our time here!

Nice location. Great park nearby. NO LINENS at all.

Great location. Clean. Property was as advertised. However, would not return unless owner replaced master bedroom mattress. The mattress is completely broken down and awoke every morning with a terrible stiff back.Also, there seems to be a black beatle infestation as I killed over a dozen of the little critters in a week. Mostly found in the bathroom and living room area.

Very lovely, very clean, spacious cottage on quiet private road. Gorgeous views of Pemaquid Harbor/Johns Bay. In colder weather the enclosed porch is a great place from which to watch the lobster boats going out and returning and see the variety of birds, especially the resident great blue heron. Pemaquid Beach Park and Pemaquid Point Lighthouse are nearby and must sees. Absolutely gorgeous! You must bring your own bed linens and bath towels. We enjoyed our stay here.

Just like last year. Great location. Great view.

Heron Cove was a collection of cute little cottages looking over John’s Bay, which the pictures do not do justice. My 3yo can’t stop talking about the pier and the wildlife. The neighbors were friendly, accommodations a bit dated, but sufficient when you will be spending 90% of your time seeing the amazing surroundings and all Pemaquid area has to offer. The Pemaquid Beach sand is similar to that of Siesta Key… seriously. We really enjoyed our stay, thank you.

Our stay was great. Nice and quiet. Just the way we like it. Didn't realize there wouldn't be to may people up in Maine after labor day. Only problem was , in the bedroom , smelled of urine terribly. To to point, we couldn't sleep there the first night. We bought some urine neutralizes and sprayed the carpet several times. It helped but didn't take the smell away. Would recommend removing the carpet from the place. Left a day earlier then scheduled. But I don't want to underscore, the good relaxfull time we had..we would come back.

We found ourselves spending a lot of time on the enclosed front porch looking out on the cove.

The house itself could use some repair, Moss on the shingles the deck and outside could use a power wash.
