About this house rental

Situated in Bristol, this charming house for $268 per night is a fantastic option for your next vacation. Seaworthy is a 1929 fisherman's cottage located in New Harbor, Maine. Seaworthy is newly renovated providing modern conveniences and original Maine craftsmanship. Renovation includes a spacious deck where you can watch the boats come in. The first floor bedroom has a full size bed and adjoining full bath. The large 400 square foot primary bedroom has a queen size bed, seating area, and lovely harbor views. The third bedroom has a full size bed and great harbor views. Seaworthy has two full bathrooms one on each level, a living room, laundry room, and an eat in full kitchen. Every room has gleaming wood floors. We offer a newly renovated home that is beautiful, comfortable, full of art, antiques, and all things Maine. Please note: The stairs to the second floor are quite steep and may not be suitable for some guests. Seaworthy is situated on a hill overlooking the harbor in New Harbor Maine-one of Maine's most picturesque working harbors. You’ll watch the sun rise and set, the lobster boats come and go, and the ever changing tides. The lobster wharf where boats come and go bringing in their lobster catch is across the street. The freshest most delicious seafood is available at the wharf. Seagulls circle the harbor and seals are often spotted in the harbor. You can sit and watch the activity from the deck or the many windows in the house. Seaworthy's roots come from a working fishing family and is a perfect home to visit if you love the ocean and Maine coast. Seaworthy is an all season home so you can enjoy the fall and winter months as well as the spring and summer seasons. C.E. Riley and Son Grocer is located within a mile of the home and is open all year. They have a wonderful deli and bakery at the store. There are many things to do in each season. The sights just outside Seaworthy are spectacular. You may explore the beautiful rocky Maine coast or just sit and enjoy the ebb and flow of the ocean surf all within walking distance. Rachel Carson Preserve is a quarter mile from the home; Pemaquid Beach and Maine's most photographed lighthouse just 3 miles away. The ferry to Monhegan island is located at the lobster wharf across the street, just steps from the house. During summer months thru fall you can take the 12 mile ride to Monhegan island for a day trip or take seal and Puffin tours. October is spectacular for the amazing leaf colors splashed across the region. The home is an hour and fifteen minutes north of Portland and 2.5 hours north of Boston and Manchester which makes a flight in very easy. The coastal route to Seaworthy wanders thru and near many beautiful towns such as Wells, Kennebunk, Kennebunkport, Portland, Freeport, Brunswick, Bath, Wiscasset, and Damariscotta. There are many opportunities for day trips north and south of the house. There are many antique shops and art galleries for every taste. These are some of our favorite things to do and we hope you’ll have a chance to find your own too! *Wade at the Rachel Carson Salt Pond on the ocean at low tide just down the road from the house. *Take the most beautiful walk or run down the road, along the open ocean shore to Long Cove and back. *Sit on the deck and watch the lobster boats come and go. Walk across the road to the wharf and watch the fishermen unload their lobster catch of the day. *Take a Hardy Boat cruise to Monhegan Island or go see the Puffins and seals. *Have a picnic and climb on the rocks at the Pemaquid Point Lighthouse. If you are lucky you can go up into this beautiful lighthouse. The art gallery on the lighthouse grounds features work by local Maine artists. *Get to Rileys Grocery in New Harbor at 8:00 AM and get the best cinnamon roll ever. I recommend the Turkey, Bacon, Ranch sandwich for lunch. *Check out Colonial Pemaquid museum and Fort William Henry. *Visit the local Farmers market for fresh local produce. *Visit Popham Beach outside Bath and enjoy this gorgeous expansive beach. *In August, visit the Maine Antiques Festival, Maine's largest. *Buy your fresh lobster across the street at Shaws wharf for dinner. *Build a sand castle and swim at Pemaquid Beach.   *Kayak rental is available.

We had a wonderful stay! House was very clean and the owners quickly responded every time we had a question. The home is beautifully decorated and we were provided a manual of all the local eats and attractions prior to our stay. We will, certainly, book again!

Seaworthy is such a sweet cottage, we loved our stay there. Extremely clean, and adorable decor. Centrally located, so close to all our favorite spots in the area. I was worried that it would be noisy, since it’s across the street from Shaws wharf, but it was quiet and peaceful. Stairs to the second floor are definitely steep and narrow. Wasn’t a problem for us but something to be aware of. Lisa was very communicative and made everything very easy for us. Definitely recommend!

We stayed at the Seaworthy in mid September 2022. We were delighted when we walked into the house to find that it was just as described, restored and decorated beautifully and thoughtfully. The kitchen had everything we needed and supplies were well stocked. The arrangements with upstairs sleeping quarters and bathroom separated from the downstairs bedroom and attached bathroom offered much privacy. Check-in could not have been easier. The owners, Lisa and Mark, responded almost immediately each time we had a question, both before and during our stay. They provided a detailed information packet about the house and area which we refered to often. We had the pleasure of meeting the caretaker Chris when he arrived to take care of a minor repair on a screen door handle. He was so friendly and provided us with information about the house and area as well. His wife, Heather, also responded right away via email when we had a question. Everyone we met was extremely friendly!! We loved being directly across the street from Shaw's and from Hardy Boat Cruises. We just walked across the road on the day we traveled to Monhegan Island. We enjoyed coffee on the front porch in the mornings and drinks in the evening looking out over the lobster boat filled harbor. A fun surprise was the music playing at Shaw's on Tuesday night as we sat (and danced) on the porch. This area is quiet and not crowded. There are some lovely places to visit, like nearby Pemaquid Lighthouse, Rachel Carson Salt Pond and Round Pond, and some of the local favorite places to eat. We visited some of the spots nearby, about 45 min to an hour away such as Camden and Boothbay Harbor, which were more populous, but we did prefer the peacefulness of this location best. You will have to consider this if you would like to be able to just walk for coffee or to eat a meal.* WiFi and texting worked well at the house, but we were unable to make cellphone calls. The landline helped greatly here. Also, one review stated that the stairs to the upstairs bedrooms were not for the faint of heart. They were right! They are steep and narrow. Our party is in our 60's and 70's and were able to navigate them, but you will want to consider this if stairs are an issue or if you have young kids? I know this was a long review, but we wanted to convey how much we enjoyed our stay here! We hope to be back.

The spacious artfully decorated Seaworthy home is so much more than a cottage! Wonderful seascapes and paintings throughout the tasteful rooms. We had a rainy fog day and we’re delighted to stay in this cozy home. The beds were Incredible….I sleep sooooo well as did my sisters ! I must find out the brand ! I did bring my own electric tea kettle as I drink hot tea but everything else we needed was there for cooking. Wonderful thick towels and even shampoo and shower wash. Lisa provided a wonderful packet of info (sent by mail) so we could study it before hand . We really got good at using the steep stairs and the hand rails were excellent. Would have loved some sort of shades or curtains in the master bedroom for nighttime but I still give it a full and thankful 5 stars ⭐️…..lovey haven on a sweet harbor!
