About this cottage rental

Sea Lavender Cottage, located in Mid Coast Maine (right near the twin villages of Damariscotta and Newcastle), is ready for your enjoyment.

Sited within feet of Great Salt Bay, this recently "re-minted" cottage sports creative architectural touches, extensive cottage-focused style, and refreshing amenities. Features comfortable furnishings, updated bathrooms, as well as all new appliances and fixtures. The cottage's appearance and attitude invites and inspires relaxing engagement with all of nature's salt water activity on Great Salt Bay (Maine's first marine protected resource).

You will share this natural beauty with eagles, osprey, blue herons, loons, an occasional seal, prehistoric horseshoe crabs, oyster farms, and in the spring, over a million Alewives passing by the dock to spawn in nearby Damariscotta Lake––after climbing a classic 1500 foot fish ladder (first constructed in 1807), which is just a short walk down the road.

The very first Cottage guests said they come to Maine each summer to explore and discover all the unique activities of coastal Maine and its villages. Yet they found Sea Lavender Cottage so comfortable, joy filled , and emotionally fulfilling, they did not want to leave each day....except to launch kayaks and join the beauty of the Bay.

Now it is your turn...

The remodel of Sea Lavender Cottage was completed in 2016 and enjoys many returning guests each year to enjoy the many charms of Mid Coast Maine and the relaxing setting of Great Salt Bay. This property also features convenient access to US Route One (just a mile away) and is less than 5 minutes from twin villages of Damariscotta and Newcastle.

More Property Details:
The primary BR is extra large with a King bed and an ensuite bath which features an oversized, tiled, walk in shower. The second BR features a Queen bed (from Room and Board) and is directly across the hall to a full bath, complete with a tub and shower combination.

All 1800 square feet of living space are on the main floor. The 600 square feet finished lower level with full size picture windows and walk out access to the dock is fully furnished and includes lots of space for activities. An item frequently enjoyed is the full size pool table. One recent guest even set up a practice putting green!

Open a door off the living room and an adjustable awning covered second level deck above the shorefront with comfy cushioned furniture is there to enjoy any time of day. Frequently there is a stare down between Cottage guests sitting on the deck and a s/he Bald Eagle keeping watch on top of a very tall utility pole adjacent to her/his six foot wide nest with mate and fledgling high in a pine tree. A quick paddle in a kayak takes you to the island in the bay with these magnificent birds who stay put, even acting bored with each new set of eyes on them...

A perfect day at the Cottage is capped with an evening fire in the fire circle with the little kid in all of us enjoying deliciously crunchy and gooey S'mores.....

The cottage was wonderful and David was very welcoming. Everything we needed with great views and close to town. There is something special about watching a gorgeous sunrise from bed. The gas fireplace made the livingroom cozy in the chilly fall weather.

Our stay was perfect from the moment our host met us at the property and gave us a complete tour, until we left on the last day.The tasteful and beautiful touches were fantastic. We enjoyed the sunrises, the wildlife, kayaking, playing pool, playing the piano, cooking in the well equipped kitchen and reading on the deck.We are already planning a return trip.
