A Charming Waterfront Cottage with Touches of Elegance

A refreshingly furnished, privately owned and managed cottage, Beckoning Bay offers the serenity of nature, water activities, and close access to Midcoast Maine charms. Its blend of casual and sophistication sets the mood for comfort in this cottage on three acres fronting The Great Salt Bay, Maine's first Marine Protected Area. A highlight of Beckoning Bay is its 12x44 foot enclosed waterside porch. You choose whether to relax and watch unspoiled nature or get closer on the water in the provided canoe and kayaks. It's a private setting yet only a mile from the twin towns of Damariscotta and Newcastle with restaurants, shops and theater (live and cinema).

Amazing view
We had a wonderful stay. The porch had amazing views and was comfortable even in the winter. The kitchen was large and incredibly well equipped. The cottage was beautifully decorated and had lots of natural light.

Didn’t want to go home :)
Our family had the most relaxing long weekend. We celebrated my husband and son's birthdays. Even though there was some rain we still got to enjoy the fire pit and the kids loved kayaking. The home is so beautiful and inviting. We enjoyed how cozy and relaxing it was for all of us. The view is spectacular. We enjoyed our mornings looking out into the lake. I loved the convenience of having the washer and dryer as well. And it was such nice surprise to be there during the pumpkin festival. Thank you David for being so welcoming and helpful. We loved staying at the house and hope to come back and celebrate more birthdays!

Perfect place to stay in Maine
This was a perfect place to stay in Maine for a cozy weekend! The view is so tranquil and beautiful and the cozy sunroom at the back of the house makes you want to relax all day. The house was spotless and had all the amenities I needed. I have rented many many homes and David is by far the best host I’ve had!

Perfect getaway 9/6/23
We were very pleased with this property. It looked even nicer in person and was well equipped. A perfect place to relax any time of day. The host kept himself available for questions and was very helpful giving recommendations about restaurants and places to visit in the area. I would not hesitate to recommend this house to friends and family. Belinda

15 Days in Damariscotta
Every aspect of the house, stay and use met and exceeded our expectations, and we slept very well there indeed. David our host was very helpful, kind and informative and we enjoyed very much the opportunities to chat with him. We were visiting friends and family in Lincoln and adjacent counties and doing genealogical research too, as well relaxing and enjoying the Damariscotta area.

A true gem
David is an excellent host, and the cottage is the perfect get away. David met us upon our arrival to walk us through the cottage and gave us the instructions we needed for our stay. He recommended some restaurants in the area and suggested things to check out. He even provided a welcome basket with crackers, English muffins, and a blueberry jam that is incredible. There was also some sliced cheese in the refrigerator for us. The back porch is bright and comfortable, and if you stay, this is where you'll definitely want to spend your time. Both bedrooms are off the porch and if you leave the blinds open, you can watch the sun rise over the water. He also provided three kayaks with safety vest so we could explore Salt Bay. We brough two floats, but to be honest, having to step on the silty bottom was uncomfortable for us so we only floated one time. We didn't have time to use the firepit, but it is in a great spot to overlook the water while gathering with your group. Both my wife and I thought it was one of the most relaxing vacations we've had and hope to return there with friends next year.

Amazing location
This is really an ideal spot for getaway. Only regret was not booking longer trip. Excellent, clean home better than advertised with gorgeous views and kayaks and water access. If you sleep in the porch you are up with the sun. Highly recommend this cozy hime with all the amenities.

Great Experience!
We had a great experience at Beckoning Bay Cottage. I wish that the porch also had air conditioning (it got really hot while we were there), but otherwise a great stay, and David was wonderful!

David is just a charming gem of a human being. We rented the home to celebrate my fathers 70th birthday and it could not have been better. We already passed along this listing to several friends and plan on returning! Thank you for everything!
