Steps From Johns Bay With Gorgeous Views

Everything that's wonderful about Maine! Two bedrooms plus large loft allows up to six guests to easily enjoy a real Maine vacation. Updated kitchen, comfortable furnishings, and a large enclosed porch with outdoor deck that face Johns Bay for 24/7 water views allow everyone to enjoy their stay. Our private community means little traffic and lots of time for relaxation and contemplation. Blackout shades in the bedrooms mean you get to sleep in, even when the sun doesn't. Community dock and float provides access to the water for your small kayak, motor or sail boat. Walk to the town beach and historic Fort William Henry, or travel just a few miles to enjoy many other scenic vistas, restaurants, history tours, botanical gardens, harbor cruises... the list is endless. Because of many repeat visitors, bookings are made no earlier than January for the following summer.

Great vacation house for a small family. Important note - if you are bringing your dog, be prepared to keep them on leash for the length of your stay.

Our family of 5 visited with our Bernedoodle. The setting was very nice. Pros:-owner was very responsive to all communication before and during visit!-the house was stocked with coffee filters, hand soap, garbage bags, as well as a starter toilet paper and paper towels. -the view from the enclosed porch was beautiful and that was great for coffee, reading, puzzles.-water pressure in the shower was very good, beds were comfy enough, and our teens loved sleeping in the loft. We also appreciated that it was dog friendly and it was near a lot of cool spots. (We loved The Contented Sole restaurant and Harbor Ice Cream; visiting the lighthouse, and walking over to the little Pebble beach by the fort where we could hang out with our dog and wade in the water).-the cottage is as advertised, and smelled freshly cleaned upon walking in.Cons:-The house could use a deep clean. The silverware drawers and cabinets had visible crumbs and such to the point that we washed everything before using it. The bedroom walls had cobwebs and my daughter found broken glass under her bed.-the twin room downstairs smelled strongly of urine, to the point where we had to pull out the area rug and clean the floors, which made it much better. -the water tasted very metallic, to the point that no one would drink it. I didn’t see this mentioned in the listing and would have liked to know to bring water. Overall I’d give 3.5 stars and we did enjoy our time here!

Observation/suggestion

Great location. Clean. Property was as advertised. However, would not return unless owner replaced master bedroom mattress. The mattress is completely broken down and awoke every morning with a terrible stiff back.Also, there seems to be a black beatle infestation as I killed over a dozen of the little critters in a week. Mostly found in the bathroom and living room area.

Wonderful cottage with gorgeous views!

Very lovely, very clean, spacious cottage on quiet private road. Gorgeous views of Pemaquid Harbor/Johns Bay. In colder weather the enclosed porch is a great place from which to watch the lobster boats going out and returning and see the variety of birds, especially the "resident" great blue heron. Pemaquid Beach Park and Pemaquid Point Lighthouse are nearby and must sees. Absolutely gorgeous! You must bring your own bed linens and bath towels. We enjoyed our stay here.

Relax, unwind, enjoy

Heron Cove was a collection of cute little cottages looking over John’s Bay, which the pictures do not do justice. My 3yo can’t stop talking about the pier and the wildlife. The neighbors were friendly, accommodations a bit dated, but sufficient when you will be spending 90% of your time seeing the amazing surroundings and all Pemaquid area has to offer. The Pemaquid Beach sand is similar to that of Siesta Key… seriously. We really enjoyed our stay, thank you.

Pemaquid Beach

Our stay was great. Nice and quiet. Just the way we like it. Didn't realize there wouldn't be to may people up in Maine after labor day. Only problem was , in the bedroom , smelled of urine terribly. To to point, we couldn't sleep there the first night. We bought some urine neutralizes and sprayed the carpet several times. It helped but didn't take the smell away. Would recommend removing the carpet from the place. Left a day earlier then scheduled. But I don't want to underscore, the good relaxfull time we had..we would come back.

Excellent location and friendly neighbors

The house itself could use some repair, Moss on the shingles the deck and outside could use a power wash.

Better than promised

The property in reality was better than the photos The seaside location was picturesque with birds feeding, boats passing and amazing Pemaquid sunsets. The mid coast Maine location was perfect for day trips and very walkable to beaches and restaurants. The kitchen was adequate and nicely updated. Loved the enclosed porch to escape mosquitoes and rain. I will definitely book again if my friends don’t get it first!

Breathtaking location, cosy cottage

This place has all the basics and was pet-friendly for our dog. Sitting on the porch with a coffee or cocktail coyld not have been lovelier. Great location near the fort, beaches, and the Contented Sole.
