About this property

Oceanfront on John's Bay with Private Beach 50 feet from Cottage, New Harbor.

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.

Peaceful Ocean Retreat
What a gorgeous spot! Even though it rained all weekend we had a wonderful stay. We loved sitting on the enclosed porch and watching the surf. Overall a very relaxing and comfortable cottage. We hope to come back!

Great space and location
Loved the location on Pemaquid point. Nice to have a bonfire on the shore and the weather cleared for a beautiful sunset on our last night. Jenifer was always responsive to our questions and needs. Don’t miss the Pemaquid Point Lighthouse. Beautiful views and interesting museum.

Great location and house
The location and view was beautiful. The house was cute and met most of our needs. Only complaint was the grill, but we notified the owner so hopefully that can be improved for future guests.

Maine, the way life should be.
This property provided everything you need for the perfect Maine family vacation. Perfect location on the water in a very quiet neighborhood. Lovely simply stated home with everything you need to meet ones needs on the Maine coast. Easy access to Pemaquid light and beach. New Harbor is a picturesque harbor town that provides a grocery store with all your needs, lobster co-op, ice cream stand and the art co-op with many treasures made by the hands of local artisans. I have been coming to Maine for 50 years and stayed up and down the entire coast. I have found my new favorite place to stay and look forward to my return.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Mitchell

Host profile image
Born in Maine, I am the 3rd generation to own this spectacular cottage along John's Bay on the desirable Pemaquid Trail. The location was picked by my great Aunt who built the home after serving in the war as a nurse. I have fond memories of visiting my Aunt and my mother who lived year-round at the home. As a child, I would spend hours collecting sea glass on the private beach just 50 feet from the porch. Finding nuggets of blue sea glass is still a find today. Our children are now spending time at the cottage during the summer and have fallen witness to “the way life should be” - a far cry from our normal life in Silicon Valley, California.

Why they chose this property

Generations have had the opportunity to enjoy this cottage by the water. It's a bonus that I have to opportunity to share it with others - creating memories to pass along for families near and far.

What makes this property unique

You can't beat the view! From the front porch, you are 50 feet from your own private pebble beach. The sunsets are gorgeous - but don't just take our word for it - experience it! Watch the lobsterman haul in their traps while drinking your morning coffee or picnicking at the picnic table.
