We could have happily spent all summer there in this part of mid-coast Maine and in this cottage (instead of just 2 weeks.) It was just about perfect. Casual yet very comfortable cottage with a spectacular view of a lovely harbor with lots of fishing boats. Toughest decision each day was whether to sit on the deck, pretending to read, but in fact staring out at the water, or heading to any of scores of lobster shacks for lobster rolls, clams, scallops, Damariscotta oysters, haddock chowder, fish 'n chips, even hotdogs. The cottage was very well-furnished. But we were on vacation, so we took paper plates, plastic utensils and red Solo cups so we wouldn't have many dishes to wash. For $1 extra, Osiers - half a block away - cooked their fresh-caught lobsters for us, so we didn't even have to use the 2 big lobster pots there in the cottage. But for some bridge construction work during the week, the area is very quiet and peaceful. The neighbors were all lovely and helpful. We were a week or two ahead of the summer tourist season, but most everything was open and most tourists bypass the village of So. Bristol and head to Pemaquid Beach and Pemaquid Lighthouse - an easy drive from the cottage and well worth seeing. It's only about 15 minutes up the peninsular to the lovely town of Damariscotta and Rte 1, from where you can get to anyplace along the coast easily. The owner has provided a very fat folder of places to see, things to do, and places to eat - to which we added some more maps and brochures. We highly recommend the Botanical Gardens in Boothbay for young and old - spectacular! Also, the blueberry pie at Moody's Diner in Waldoboro. Needless to say, we highly recommend this property for 2 friends (us), a couple, 2 friendly couples (there's just 1 bathroom), or a family with 1 or 2 children. Our little dog loved her walks around the neighborhood or just relaxing with us on the deck. And there are many pet-friendly places to eat. This is a great place to vacation!
