This 2-bedroom, seasonal guest cottage is located less than 400 yards from Pemaquid Beach State Park. It features a bathroom, kitchen, living area, television with Netflix, outdoor picnic table, lounge chairs, and grill. The cottage is situated next to the main Laughton House and comes with two designated parking spots on the right-hand side of the main driveway.
The cottage is uninsulated and does not have central heating or air conditioning, but fans and portable heaters and blankets are provided for your comfort. We are always available via message, phone, or text, and have cleaners and a property manager on-call to address any issues that may arise.
The area boasts many attractions, such as Pemaquid Beach (0.2 miles), kayak rentals (0.4 miles), and several restaurants, such as Mimis on the Beach (0.2 miles) and Contented Sole (0.4 miles). Other points of interest include Fort William Henry & Colonial Pemaquid (0.3 miles), Pemaquid Lighthouse (3.5 miles), and the Rachel Carson Salt Pond Preserve (2.2 miles). Pemaquid Beach Village is a charming spot on the water and serves as a great launching pad for day trips to Monhegan, Camden, and Boothbay.
Pemaquid Beach is just across the road from the cottage and has a fantastic food shack called Mimi's on the Beach (open during the summer). There is also a small and serene beach close by on Fish Point Road if you want a more quiet spot. Kayaks can be rented down the road at Maine Kayak for a beautiful day of exploring the coastline by water, topped off with a short stroll down to the Contented Sole restaurant for an exquisite evening meal while you watch the sun go down. There are so many other spots close by to explore - learn about the siege of Pemaquid at Fort William Henry, take in the beauty of Pemaquid Lighthouse, take a hike out to the ocean through La Verna Preserve and cool off with a dip in the Bristol Dam Swimming Hole. The local grocer C.E. Reilly & Sons has nearly everything you could possibly need.
