3 Bedroom House in South Bristol

(Clarification on cancellation policy: We will fully refund your $$ if we can still find a renter and we will try to do so. That's just not one of the options on vrbo.)
We've lived in this house for ten years and guests never fail to marvel the first time they walk in. There are windows and views in every direction and the woodwork and design are simple yet warm and beautiful.
The floor plan is open so that the windows and views are shared by the whole living area. There are two large decks, one up high for sun and one below for shade. The decks look out over the water towards the seals and sunset. A grill is provided.
The first floor has a new lounge area / office / bedroom (two pullout sofas) with clear views of the water, a small but full bath and laundry room. The second floor contains the main living area, bedroom (queen bed, desk, large walk-in closet) and full bath. The large loft is above the bedroom, facing the LR and the views, and also has a queen bed and desk, with room for blow-up mattresses.
The kitchen has all of the usual appliances and is well equipped for cooking and eating. The large kitchen island has seats for three and the dining room table expands to seat six comfortably.
There is a large lawn and a dock, with a ladder for the swimmers. Kids get a kick out of crabbing from there and anyone might catch a mackerel. Out a little ways are rocks that are usually covered with seals. There are nearby hiking paths and, if you have kayaks, you can access local islands with paths and bald eagles. Our local conservation group (https://www.coastalrivers.org/preserves-trails/properties-town/) sponsors hiking trails all around the area. Pemaquid has one of the most photographed lighthouses on the east coast, as well as a wide sand beach. Damariscotta has a number of stores for browsing and many excellent restaurants. Camden, Rockland and Boothbay Harbor (including their botanical gardens) are within an hour. South Bristol, just three miles down the road, is a picturesque lobstering village, where you can get boiled lobsters on the cheap at the Lobsterman's Co-op or fine dining and/or live music at Coveside. Monhegan Island makes for a fantastic day trip out to sea, including hiking with stunning views, limited but yummy food and a brewery. There is much to do...if you're motivated to leave the relaxation at home!
A note on pets: Up to 2 dogs or cats are welcome so long as the owner will vouch for their being well-behaved and plan on vaccuuming up hair. Also, if your pooch(es) are prone to barking or howling when left alone or within earshot of another dog, please plan to muzzle them. Your immediate neighbors will thank you and the sound really carries when the water is calm.
(One person asked that I reiterate that we have a TV but do not have cable. An HDMI cable is connected to the TV and there is a USB port on the TV so that you can connect your PC or phone.)

Summary: Although the weather was a little damp the house was warm and cozy. Very close to our favorite lighthouse and Damariscotta is a wonderful little town. Everything was perfect.

Summary: The house has loads of sunlight. Gorgeous star filled nights. Perfect place to stay for solitude or peace. You can hear all the calls of the loons and herons. Spotted eagles as well. Kirsten is extremely responsive with any question you may have. This was our 2nd 2 week stay.

Summary: We really enjoyed the peace, quiet and seclusion of this cute, cozy home! Loved the view from the decks - perfect for sunsets! Convenient to several fun villages and loved exploring some of the nearby trails. Comfortable beds! Fully functioning kitchen (and my son is s professional chef!) Definitely recommend!

Summary: We come to Maine every year to recharge after the school year ends and Becky’s house was the perfect respite. Off the beaten path in South Bristol, you can visit local lobster coops, hike nature preserves or our favorite, catching crabs and kayaking from the house’s dock. But a quick 20 minute to hour drive can take you more “touristy” spots. The kitchen had everything we needed to enjoy our stay and Kirsten was the perfect host with her timely responses to questions. We hope to come back!!

Summary: This rental was absolutely lovely. The light flowed in all the windows and was just perfect. The deck is great for enjoying that morning tea or late afternoon glass of wine. While the road was not good for walks with the dog, there were lots of preserves and quieter roads to explore. The kitchen is very nice and user friendly. The owners are very nice and extremely responsive. I can highly recomnend this home and will be considering returning.

Summary: This property is located on Long Cove along the Damariscotta River. An incredibly beautiful location. Every morning I would get up and take my chocolate lab down to the shoreline for a swim. If you come here always bring a pair of binoculars. Each morning we would see seals feeding in the river and if the tide was anywhere mid-tide to low tide you can see 15 to 20 seals sunning themselves on the rocks in the middle of the river. Geese and ducks also round out the picture, so there's always plenty to look at. It's easy to forget where you came from when you're here. Very peaceful and beautiful.... Also interacting with Kirsten was a pleasure and very easily done, she was very responsive to any questions we had.
