About this property

Spectacular ocean-view cottage

NEW FOR 2024: AIR CONDITIONING! The Summer House at Bayberry Cove is located in the historic seaside community of Pemaquid Trail, adjacent to the entrance of beautiful Pemaquid Beach in New Harbor, Maine. With tranquil ocean views, this lovely 2-bedroom, 1-bath year-round cottage is a perfect longer term rental for a single person or couple who doesn’t want to rough-it on their retreat to Maine. This ‘home away from home’ is filled with luxury touches and conveniences such as a stacked washer/dryer, dishwasher, flatscreen TV, Internet, quartz countertops, and hand-hewn hickory floors, all with a nautical theme for that “cottage” feel. Linens and towels are included in your rental, and the beds will be made up for you.

Enjoy your morning coffee on the screened in porch, and watch the sunset from your balcony. The cottage has a fenced, private backyard and charming gardens, perfect for reading a book, writing. Close to all historical sites on the peninsula such as the Pemaquid Point Lighthouse and Fort William Henry; and minutes away from a fully-stocked local grocer and several lobster co-ops for your clam bakes and picnics. Absolute perfect location for relaxing, exercising, or daily excursions to many coastal Maine sites, such as Boothbay Harbor, Camden, and Bar Harbor.

During Summer season, the Summer House has a seven (7) night minimum stay. Reservations begin on a Saturday and end on a Saturday.

Cottage on the ocean

We had a lovely time staying in Thomas and Laurie’s cottage! They were kind and offered helpful suggestions for our stay. The space is well equipped and inviting. The neighborhood is a quiet one with friendly neighbors nearby and within a stone’s throw from the ocean.

Relax and Enjoy!

We enjoyed our stay in Maine. The location was great, the cottage was very warm and relaxing. We particularly enjoyed drinking coffee each morning on the screened in porch listening to waves at the nearby bay. Each day we would go on a day trip and return to the cottage in the evening, the cottage is in a good location to see several nearby villages and sites.

Off to a good start

The owner met us at the door and gave us a quick walkthrough to orient to TV and heating system. Even introduced us to the neighbors. This set the tone for a comfortable and welcoming stay. The quiet and well-maintained house, comfortable beds, beautiful views made this a restorative stay.

Our Happy Place

Thomas and Laurie are kind, gracious and attentive hosts . The Summer House is spotless, well appointed and in an incredible location. Pemaquid beach less than 5 minutes away, a perfect and clean beach. Summer House on the Pemaquid Trail is highly recommended. Couldn't ask for anything better!!!

Perfect New Harbor Stay!

We absolutely loved our week at the Summer House! It is immaculate, spacious, beautifully decorated and perfectly appointed with everything you might need. The water views are beautiful and are accurately depicted in the listing photos. Having access to the bench and Adirondack chairs at the water’s edge was heavenly. There is so much to see in the area, but it is also very relaxing to be at the house and enjoy the views whether sitting inside, on the screened in porch or on the balcony. Thomas and Laurie are wonderful hosts and we enjoyed our conversations with them. We didn’t need to ask for anything since the house had everything we needed. They had so many thoughtful touches: different types of coffee makers, extra blankets, sightseeing tips, a collection of novels, apple tv which was great so we could rent a movie on a rainy day, an electronic lock (with access code we requested) so we didn’t have to deal with keys.. We would love to rent here again! (The only thing we wish we would have known before arrival is that the owners are in the process of building a new house across the street. During our week’s stay, workers were there almost every day - into the early evening. The new building does not impact the views as depicted, and we still had access to the bench & chairs at the waters edge. Again, we would definitely rent again-even with the construction taking place!)

hidden gem

The summer house has it all. Very comfortable and very clean home, you just dropped your bags and the vacation started. Everything you needed, and things you didn't know you needed, was in this rental. House is near beach on a long dead end st with beautiful water views and sounds. Lovely bench and chairs set out across from house to watch the water, boats and beautiful sunsets. Walkers, biking and joggers will love the location. Decide if you want to go out or stay in ...either way you win. Short drive up to the lighthouse and Reillys shop. Hosts were available nearby if needed.

Lovely location with views directly to water and water access across neighborhood road with little traffic. Quality linens,comfortable mattresses and furniture, modern appliances. Many personal touches for a homey feel. Well priced for area. Good location for walkers; quick access to large, clean, white sand beach.

Beautiful Stay

We enjoyed staying in Pemaquid. There are plenty of walks in the conservation areas and its a short hop into Damariscotta or Boothbay. Thomas and Laurie have a beautiful rental in a terrific location. the water is directly accross the road with a seating area for water watching. Their cottage was very clean and comfortable. We found everything we needed. The Kitchen was well equipped. This would be easy to stay in for an extended period of time. Thomas and Laurie were responsive to our requests and available during our stay. This is easily one of the nicest VRBO stays we have had.

Great location for exploring Mid-Coast Maine

This was our first time visiting this part of Maine and the Summer House at Bayberry Cove in New Harbor turned out to be a perfect place to stay. The cottage is updated and nicely decorated. It had everything we needed. Thomas was most welcoming and gave us some great tips about local eating places and things to do. We found we were very well situated for exploring the beauty of the area. Whether you like to be out in nature, see the coast and lighthouses, explore picturesque towns or just relax, staying at this cottage makes all that possible.

New Harbor - Pemoquid Beach, Maine

Beautiful property and excellent home owners. Home is a year-round home and not a cottage. Immaculate with everything you need to enjoy a peaceful vacation. We rented this lovely home last summer and it was our go-to rental this summer and anticipate it will be for the foreseeable future. Perfect location on a dead-end road and walking distance to Pemoquid Beach. Short drive to the Pemoquid Lighthouse Park and so many other beautiful sites. Highly recommend the Handy Boat Ferry in New Harbor 5 minutes away to visit Monhegan Island where you can hike over 4 miles of trails. One of the more peaceful and stress free vacations you will enjoy!

This was my second time renting The Summerhouse, but this time with friends. They enjoyed the experience too! Such a great location for taking day trips, and for anyone who walks, runs, or bikes. So nice to rent from people with such high standards.
