About this property

Lovely and graced with vintage charm, as well as all of the modern conveniences, you need only step outside the front door to find endless opportunities to explore, hike, bike, swim, or just breathe in the ocean air and refresh.

This location is "over the top" family friendly! Shearwater cottage is a 15 minute stroll walk to the white sands of Pemaquid beach. There you'll find more of the Atlantic (yes the big ocean). Beachcomber nature center offers conservation based activities for young minds, Mimi's By The Beach offers lunch and dinner, as well as lots and lots of sand and lingering sunsets.

This four bedroom, three and a half bath beauty was recently built with an authentic Maine vibe and comfort in mind. Two levels of "shiplapped" charm include an open living area with vaulted ceiling and lots of windows~an invitation to natural light and views of the beautiful secluded wood setting.

The kitchen was created for chefs on vacation by chefs, two decks, a walk out basement with entertainment system and game room.

There's more to enjoy on the outside including a grill, fire pit, horseshoe pit, and of course everyone's favorite-cornhole! Oh and it also includes a view of the Milky Way and ten billion stars (quite likely but not guaranteed.)

This home is year round and can be rented with a three night minimum from November - May.

Another great year!

This is the third year we stayed at Shearwater. It is the perfect space for my little family and for my parents and sister to visit as well. We love the privacy, the woods and the proximity to the beach. Thank you again for another lovely and relaxing week.

Wonderful home away from home!

My family had a wonderful time at this beautiful, well appointed home. It looks like it was built and decorated by Joanna and Chip Gaines! It was very comfortable and modern. We had a wonderful relaxing vacation here! Recommend!

Wonderful Private House Close to Ocean and other sites in area

I have been going to Pemaquid Point for over 40 years and this house was by far the nicest I have rented in area. Like new, spacious living area and bedrooms, beautiful kitchen and multiple bathrooms. House is at end of a road and secluded but quick walk down street and you are taking morning walks by water on Pemaquid Trail. Hosts were always available and quick to answer any questions before and during stay. Already booked next year!

Beautiful property near many attractions

This house is beautiful with plenty of room and comfortable beds. Well equipped kitchen. It is about a 20 minute walk to the beach. We drove so we could bring our gear. Dogs next store barked at all hours, which was unfortunate, and bedrooms need curtains.
