About this cottage rental

After your stay at A Sea Glass Beach Cottage, you will fall witness to “the way life should be”.

This little gem of a cottage offers a true coastal Maine stay with a private beach just 50 feet from the porch. A Sea Glass Beach Retreat is located on the desired and beloved Pemaquid Trail. It is one of the first cottages built on the trail with a cathedral style pinewood living room with open loft. Here, you can sit and relax on the adirondack chairs while sipping your morning coffee and watch the lobsterman haul in their traps from John’s Bay. During the day, take in local attractions such as visiting the Pemaquid Lighthouse, board the Hardy Boat Puffin cruise off the famous Shaw’s Fish & Lobster Wharf, unwind at the sandy Pemaquid Beach or spend your day collecting sea glass, rocks and shells from your own private pebble beach. A child’s paradise. Visits to nearby coastal towns of Damariscotta, Boothbay Harbor, Wiscasset and Camden are always fun too! Make sure to return to your cottage to catch glimpses of seals sunning themselves on the rocks at low tide and witness breathtaking sunsets. Fall asleep to the sounds of the waves.

A Seaglass Beach Retreat is a great location for launching kayaks/canoes and is a one-bedroom seaside cottage. A King-size bed is in the bedroom and a twin bed along with an armless couch sleeper are set-up on the sunny waterside porch. There is a comfy sofa-couch double pull-out in the living room and a full-size bed is located in the open loft for individuals over the age of 10.

Perfect little spot! We loved it!

What a spot! Loved, loved, loved this sweet little cottage by the sea. Amazing views, sounds of crashing surf out the windows, and all the comforts of home. This place is clearly loved & well cared for, and has lots of small touches that made our stay enjoyable—firepit, picnic table, propane grill, a well-stocked kitchen (pots, pans, Tupperware, utensils, sharp knives!). Jennifer was a wonderful host, very welcoming and helpful. Would jump at the chance to stay here again!

Jennifer's cottage is truly a Sea Glass Beach Retreat. It was so comfortable inside the cottage and outside the oceanfront views are awesome--Picture perfect sunsets, sailboats sailing out to the Atlantic, lobster boats checking their traps, and sealife greeting us daily -- seals and loons were a delight.

The location is excellent, private beach, many wild life preserves for hiking within a 20 minute drive. The cottage is cozy, albeit a bit outdated. The bed is a full size bed, not a queen and is on the firm side, if you like that. All in all, the location is what makes this place excellent, which is really why we come to Maine. Jennifer was very easy to work with and we appreciate the history behind this special place.
