Perfect Family Vacation
Wow!! This was by far the best first Maine vacation we could have ever asked for. The cottage was absolutely perfect! It had everything we needed for a week away. Our 6-year-old daughter loved the loft bedroom. And we all loved the private beach every morning and every night. Breakfasts on the deck overlooking the water were such a great way to start the day. Thank you for sharing your home with us while we enjoyed a slice of Maine for the week! We really couldn’t have had a better experience!!

Wonderful property!
We enjoyed ourselves so much in May we came back for a second stay this year! Wonderful property! Great location on the bay. Close to the lighthouse, restaurants, and market…but quiet and private. Has all the amenities and extras one could need. Owner/host easy to communicate with. The high point of our stay were the three eagles that fished out front almost daily. It was thrilling to see them so close. We will certainly be back!!

Beautiful views
The views of the ocean were spectacular. House was very clean. Location was great as well. There was a little work outside next door for 2 days with a tractor/backhoe which drowned out the waves, but not terrible. We were disappointed that there were no binoculars for us to use, like the description and picture showed. Maybe that just needs to be updated on the description. All in all, this is a beautiful property.

Aquahela is the perfect cottage on the coast of Maine! The views are amazing and the house is well equipped with everything you could need. The location couldn’t be better…private yet close to the lighthouse, grocery store, lobster pounds & restaurants. We had a hard time leaving the property during our stay because we enjoyed watching the water, the tides, the birds…and collecting special treasures on the beach. So restful and so much fun…we will definitely be repeat visitors.

Peaceful and beautiful
My husband and I stayed a second time at Pemaquid Point and enjoyed it just as much as the first time. The cottage is very charming and peaceful, with excellent ocean views from the various rooms in the cottage and also from the deck. Nature abounds all around the cottage, from songbirds, to eagles and loons, to butterflies and fall foliage (our stay was in early October). The serene and private setting enabled us to enjoy a perfect retreat from our typically hectic, overly busy lives. We were sad to leave when our time was up, but felt very refreshed after our stay. Mark, the property owner is very communicative and easy to contact, as well.

Classic Maine Cottage for Two with Private Beach
New Harbor is a quaint little town with a fine grocery store and ice cream stand not far from two quality lobster pounds--especially nice is Shaw's Lobster Pound, where we ate quality seafood on an outside deck with great views of lobster boats in the scenic inlet. Not fifteen minutes away was a large Hannaford's grocery store and collection of great shops. It is a beautiful not-too developed peninsula. The cottage itself is very private, but the area is not lacking in necessaries or activities. Fort William Henry and its museum was worth a visit. The approach to the cottage is a dirt road through the tall pines. The cottage itself is on the bay with a rocky area containing a small sand beach. The cottage is designed to maximize the views of the water: whether you are sitting on the deck, sitting in the living room, or in the comfortable king bed, the views are panoramic. Sunny weather or stormy weather, it is all about wonderful views. The kitchen is nice and well-supplied; the bathroom and laundry room are in good-repair, Upstairs is a nice area for a youngster to sleep. The cottage also contains some artistic touches: some Maine scenes in several watercolors on the walls, a carved wooden door frame and doors leading to the bedroom, and a garden mural on both sides of the large window/door on the front wall of the living room. Outside, there were many species of birds and occasional deer crossing in front of the deck. The owner, Mark, was very friendly, helpful and available if needed. The cottage was very clean and comfy. My wife and I absolutely loved our stay at this property!

Better than we hoped!
Enjoyed our stay. Quiet, private and clean! Had all the amenities and good hot water! Perfect for a pair of grandparents with grandchild. Close to the ocean with excellent views. Good shore for clambering on rocks and watching sea birds, Ibis, cranes, ducks, cormorants (drying their wings) and gulls of course! Added bonus, back yard bunnies, chipmunks and deer AND three lady slippers on the edge of the road. Easy access to all the local attractions, Pemaquid Point Light House, Rachel Carson Salt Pond Preserve, The Colonial Pemaquid historic site as well as Puffin watch on Hardy's boat or kayak/Canoe rental with River Mist rental. Host - Mark was responsive. Checkin and checkout was easy. Aquahela was a delight. Love to go back!

Peaceful with amazing ocean view
We truly enjoyed our stay at the cottage at Pemaquid Point. The cottage was so lovely and cozy with sliding doors in the living room and bedroom that gave excellent views of the ocean just outside. We saw bald eagles and loons daily, as well as wild turkeys at one point and other wildlife (many songbirds, butterflies, dragonflies, etc). The cottage location is private and quiet, which was just what we wanted for this trip. We highly recommend and will definitely be returning to this location!
