We have been coming to mid-coast Maine for years and this was one of the best. Steve and Deb’s cottage is in a great location for families, right by a beach perfect for kids and within range of everything you want for a Maine vacation (or at least what we want) — quiet evenings, near the ocean (the house is just two doors down), great ice cream and lobster a short bike ride away — and the layout of the house was very comfortable and easy for all our needs.
The house had everything we needed for a week, and the location near the beach is superb.
My wife and I, along with our two kids (8 and 6), had a great time at this rental. The proximity to the neighborhood beach was perfect and our kids loved playing there so much we only once visited nearby Pemaquid Beach Park. We also enjoyed that the neighborhood was nice and quiet, and the proximity to local hikes was a bonus. My wife and I like to cook (even on vacation). The only downside to the rental was that the cooking supplies were not great. We were able to improvise when necessary, but some of the kitchen supplies could use a refresh (cutting board, frying pan, knives). Other than that....no complaints! We hope to visit the property again next year.
A lovely, bright, clean, spacious cape house within easy walking distance to the beach and fort and a just short (20 min) drive to dining, shopping etc in Damariscotta. Three good sized bedrooms and two full bathrooms kept family members out of each other's hair and the kitchen was well enough equipped to cook dinner for family and friends each night. An ample supply of jigsaw puzzles kept us entertained over a couple of rainy days. We had a wonderful time!!
We enjoyed our stay at this beach cottage. The location is great for a quiet and restful vacation, in close proximity to many things of interest (beach, historic site, amazing scenic sites, great eating places). However, the property needs some attention to details that detract from it getting a 5-star rating. In the the hopes of getting these addressed to improve future guests' experiences, we have provided a list of 12 suggestions/comments to the property owners.
Lovely, well-decorated, three bedroom two story cottage with laundry and good kitchen facilities.
The location of this vacation rental was perfect for our large family with four small children, as we could all walk to the little beach quickly (less than 5 minutes) and return easily for nap or meal time. The owners were helpful and accommodated our request to rent both of their properties to house four couples- 2 with small children. The two homes on neighboring properties allowed for plenty of space for people to visit as well as find a quiet spot in the house away from noise for naps. Both houses have deck space for sitting and/or eating outside and are located within walking distance of Pemaquid Harbor and Pemaquid Beach. These homes fit our vacation needs perfectly, and we look forward to our return in 2016!
This is our third year of staying here. The Dillingham's are excellent owners and the property is clean, managed well and has a GREAT person to help you with anything needed during your stay. The bay and beach are both within walking distance and so much fun for children. This location makes it easy to enjoy Damarscotta and a little over half and hour to Wicasset and Booth Bay....all wonderful places for a day trip. The house is perfect for a family to enjoy....a big family area in the kitchen and two great decks.....we love it!!.....not to forget the Cupboard Cafe...just up the road, for breakfast or lunch out or out of this world desserts!
Flowers were blooming all along the front of the house. The picnic table in the back yard was placed for the best view of the water. Every room was bright and clean. the walk to the beach with our coffee cups and sticky buns from the Cupboard was short. The beach roses along the beach were also in bloom. The lobster were tasty at Muscongus Bay and at Pemaquid Harbor.. Pemaquid beach, the Light House, Salt Pond were all close. We even got to go to Granite Hall Store, LL Beans, and out to Monhegan. Relatives stopped by to visit and also loved the house. Lots of space. Thank you!
The cottage is very well maintained. It has a clean, crisp feel and all utilities (showers, sinks) and electronics (TV, radio) work well. The location is terrific, situated near two beaches and a number of historic attractions.
