About the host
Hosted by Vanessa
We are New Yorkers who fell in love with New Harbor for its rugged coastline, peaceful pace, and the way time seems to slow down here. Shearwater is a place where families and friends can reconnect, whether that means beach days at Pemaquid, lobster dinners on the deck, evenings around the fire pit, or quiet mornings with coffee and ocean air. We love sharing this special corner of Maine with guests and hope you’ll make memories here for years to come.
Why they chose this property
The neighborhood is peaceful, family-friendly, and perfectly located near Pemaquid Beach, the iconic lighthouse, Fort William Henry, charming local restaurants like the Contented Sole; and some of the best hiking and kayaking on the Midcoast.
We enjoy how relaxing life feels here: long beach days, fresh seafood dinners at place's like Shaw's; star-filled nights, and the simple joy of slowing down and spending time together.
We love how centrally located New Harbor is to some of Midcoast Maine’s most charming destinations.
Guests can easily explore nearby Damariscotta for shopping, restaurants, oyster farms, and art galleries, spend an afternoon in the picturesque fishing village of Round Pond, or venture farther for day trips to places like Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in Boothbay or the famous Desert of Maine in Freeport.
It is fantastic to enjoy both beach days and outdoor adventuring along beautiful wooded trails in the same trip.
Pemaquid Beach is just minutes away for swimming, sunrises, and long walks along the sand. In summer months it has a fantastic beach restaurant.
Nearby trails cared for by the Coastal Rivers Conservation Trust offer beautiful hiking for all levels, and ages (we've hiked with everyone from a 2 year old to an 82 year old on various trails) through forests, meadows, and along the rocky coastline.
It’s the perfect balance of relaxation and exploration, with easy access to some of Midcoast Maine’s most scenic natural spaces.
Whether you’re looking for beaches, boating, hiking, fresh seafood, small-town charm, or classic Maine adventures, Shearwater makes the perfect home base.
What makes this property unique
What makes Shearwater special is the combination of thoughtful design, comfort, and location. Guests can walk to one of Maine’s most beautiful beaches while also enjoying the privacy and tranquility of a peaceful wooded setting.
The home was designed for gathering, with spacious indoor living areas, a chef-inspired kitchen, cozy outdoor spaces, and plenty of room for families and friends to relax together after a day exploring the coast.
We also love that guests can experience the best of authentic Midcoast Maine here: lobster wharves, lighthouse sunsets, kayaking, hiking, quiet harbors, and star-filled nights.
