September 2022 Pemaquid

George & Dorothy were attentive, very pleasant and easy to deal with. We had a great time just relaxing. Their home is completely updated and the new layout is perfect. The location on Pemaquid Point and their large grassy yard down to the ocean are Maine at its best. If you love an ocean view, especially one with at sun set it is nothing short of spectacular.

Disappointing

The listing for this property when we booked it last September read “Summer 2022 prices reflect renovations.” Those renovations were to include a second bathroom, a new washer/dryer, and an updated kitchen. Imagine our disappointment to learn in July of this year, too late to change our plans, that the washer/dryer was not working, with the owner suggesting we instead could use the laundromat in the town 14 miles away. Then we discovered on arrival that the shower in the 2nd bathroom was not operable. In addition, the sink drain in the new bathroom was stuck shut and the toilet tank in the other bathroom would not fill after use. When I called the owner George Dorr to complain and to suggest a discount in the rental price because the cottage was not as advertised, I was subject to a verbal tirade by his wife Dorothy Dorr for my complaining. Not the way to start a relaxing vacation week. I have given the cottage 3 stars because the view from the deck and dining room window were beautiful and the kitchen was indeed updated, although we did not do any cooking. But our "welcome" left a sour taste in our mouths.

Public access to the waterfront made backyard more like a public park. A never ending flow of peopl.

Clean, but bath and laundry incomplete.. As well as other unfinished parts. Had people driving onto grass to public access. People in our hammock, found one couple walking their dogs in our yard when we returned home one night. Plus the entire neighborhood did not just use access to get to the waterfront, they would set up camp right in front of our house everyday and mad my boys feel uncomfortable using our own beach/rocks. I understand waterfront is public, but all other properties I've rented the people just passed through. Just not what I expected for the price.

My Maine

Thank you so much for the use of your cottage at Pemaquid Point last week. It was picture perfect while I made believe I lived in Maine and enjoyed the surrounding communities. I even got to have lunch at The Seagull Shop & Restaurant, making my stay complete. The lighthouse and coast of Pemaquid is my favorite spot in all of Maine.

About the host

Hosted by George Dorr

We are a retired couple who fell in love with this cottage and the New Harbor location near Pemaquid Point Lighthouse. We are available by phone or email (no text)for any questions before or during your stay. We welcome guests that are courteous of our property. This year we added a barn on the property for our personal storage.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location. Ocean views, wildlife and western sunsets this property offers. We enjoy watching sail boats passing and lobster boats maneuvering close to our shoreline for their harvest. The short walks to the Lighthouse, Galleries, and Pemaquid Loop, as well as other trails.. Proximity to grocery store and restaurants is an added bonus.

What makes this property unique

Location, great views, wildlife, and watching the lobster boats come in to our shoreline; sailboats passing and phenomenal western sunsets. Two miles from Riley's Grocery store and a Post Office. Access to Miles Medical Hospital 14 miles from cottage.
