About this property

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.

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.

We found ourselves spending a lot of time on the enclosed front porch looking out on the cove.

About the host

Hosted by Janice Reid

We're NJ natives but now split our time between Maine and Florida. Of course there's something great about each of these places, which is why we enjoy both! Unfortunately, our business in Florida keeps us there for much of the year, so we allow guests to use our home while we can't.

Why they chose this property

Our family has been coming to the Maine Midcoast region for over 70 years. We found this gem of a property in 1980, and decided to purchase the house pretty much on the spot. In 1989, we completely rebuilt the cabin, and over the years I've made steady improvements so that most of our renters consider it their 'home away from home'. Every time I drive down the lane, the view amazes me, and I remember why we first fell in love with it and why we've stayed all these years.

What makes this property unique

Relaxing, relaxing, relaxing. The views from the front porch. Watching the lobstermen work, the birds fish, the foxes sun, the fish jump, the tide come and go. Lobster and clam dinners fresh from the sea. Reading a book on the waterfront. Access to local trails, boat launches, harbor cruises, antique dealers, arts & crafts, historic sights. Being away from the hustle and bustle of home and work. Did I mention it's relaxing?
