My wife and I stayed at Southern Exposure (SE) for 2 weeks in late June. It was very peaceful with plenty of local activities. We have stayed at many VRBOs over the years, and Ann (owner and host) is the best we’ve ever had: her communication was exceptional, providing an entire booklet of useful information to us before our stay; she personally welcomed us; and she made sure we had an enjoyable stay.SE is a very cozy cottage and has all the basic needs. What is truly captivating is the view from the back porch. We spent most afternoons there, and aside from numerous seabirds saw jellyfish, horseshoe crabs and a seal. The difference between high and low tides is remarkable (10 feet). There are also lots of hummingbirds that visit the feeders Ann has put out for them.

Quintessential waterfront cottage with perfect deck overlooking the river, and dock for swimming and kayaking. Immaculate and cozy interior. Also so close to Damariscotta and great restaurants.Ann is the perfect host - nearby if you need anything and ready with excellent recommendations.We’re ready to go back next year!
