New Harbor Vacation Rental cottage

August 1 through August 7th, 2009
Fall asleep to the ocean's crashing waves, wake up to see the lobster boats checking their traps, spend the days exploring the quaint towns or sitting on the ocean front rocks... we had a fantastic time!

"Suite-Thyme" Carrage house is spotless, clean and equipped with everything to make you feel at home. Our Host and Hostess were wonderful and have done a fantastic job putting this get-a-way property together for a wonderful vacation. We found the property to be a GREAT value for the location, views and comfort.

I would love to include some of the amazing pictures I took while here, but I don't see a spot that allows for that. If you like to take walks, you can walk towards town, and you will see a trail on your right with a large bolder at the entrance to stop cars, it leads down over a tiny bridge and then a larger walking bridge that goes over to "Back Cove", a great spot to get some great pictures!!!

I recommend "Shaws" where the movie "Message in a Bottle" was filmed, a great way to see the lobsterman bringing in their "wicked" catch and talk with some locals.

Food at King Iders in Damariscotta is really good, and if you are looking for upscale dining, go to the Bradly Inn. On our last day we disovered a really neat store where you can purchase gormet foods, and they have a large wine selection! It is located behind King Iders.

Can't wait to go back!

We were looking for a cottage with the quintessential Maine view of waves crashing into rocks . Suite Thyme was just exactly what we were hoping for and more. The view is perfect, the location very convenient for groceries, good places to eat, and lovely walks. The owners have written extensive notes that gave us all the information we wanted and then some. There are also guide books and maps to help you plan your day.

The cottage is immaculate, cheerful , comfortable, and peaceful. The grounds are lovely . A fine selection of good pots and pans as well as excellent appliances make cooking very easy. We were even able to use the wireless with our laptop. There is a good selection of books and games. The owners live on the property and were friendly and very helpful without being intrusive.
We enjoyed going to The Gull Shop at Pemaquid where we had have a delicious snack while looking at the lighthouse and the sea.
Suite Thyme is a cottage I would recommend to friends and indeed I have already done just that! We will certainly be renting it in the future.

If you love the coast of Maine, then this little gem of a cottage is wonderful getaway location. The cottage and grounds are well-maintained, the owners are very nice and the lobsters are the best ( be sure to try the Pemaquid Co-op, a hidden gem ).

My wife and I have been coming to New Harbor for the past six summers, but this was our first stay at the Carriage House and we hope it won't be the last. The neighboring towns of Camden and Boothbay provide wonderful shopping and be sure to visit Monhegan Island for the hiking and the scenery

We highly recommend this location.
