Photos and Description of the Newcastle vacation cottage rental
Two Bedrooms, Two Bathrooms; Sleeps 5

A refreshingly furnished, privately owned and managed cottage, Beckoning Bay offers the serenity of nature, water activities, and close access to Midcoast Maine charms. Its blend of casual and sophistication sets the mood for comfort in this cottage on three acres fronting The Great Salt Bay, Maine's first Marine Protected Area. A highlight of Beckoning Bay is its 12x44 foot enclosed waterside porch. You choose whether to relax and watch unspoiled nature or get closer on the water in the provided rowing dory,and kayaks. It's a private setting yet only a mile from the twin towns of Damariscotta and Newcastle with restaurants, shops and theater (live and cinema).

We Loved it Here

We could not have been happier with this home. The pristine grounds, the view from every window, the fabulous porch, and the warm hospitality of the owners made this a wonderful vacation for us. The house was very well maintained, in a great location, and the attential to detail was right on. The artfully placed antiques, the collection of books on the area, binoculars for creature watching (we took them on a whale watch), charcoal grill, fire pit, kayak, etc... The amenities were all there for us. We had perfect summer weather every day, and even got a full September moon on our last night.

Another Lovely stay!

This is my fourth stay in David and Susan's lovely home. I say home because it is so much more than a cottage. As usual everything was perfect, David was very accommodating which is the norm. The place was spotless, the fire pit was a blast and while the weather did not cooperate, (it rained almost the whole time) it was still a very enjoyable stay. Why you might ask? Because if you have to stay indoors a bit this is the place to be. Comfortable, cozy yet with huge views. I will definitely be back.
Owner's Response: Thank you....we try to assure enjoyment with everything, but are not always successful with the weather!!!

The cottage is even nicer than the pictures. It was spotless, clean as a whistle, beautifully decorated and very welcoming. David Lawrence is the definition of a host. There if you need him,but not intrusive. We were thrilled with the property; the views were gorgeous! The house was rented as a gathering place for family who had come from afar for my son's wedding at Clark Cove Farm. It was perfect. The porch is fantastic for visiting with family. Coffee and pie on the porch gazing at the Great Salt Bay - heaven. My husband and I will be back to enjoy it just by ourselves!
Owner's Response: Expect that pie was Maine Blueberry....none better; pleased the porch was perfect!

This was our 8th visit to Beckoning Bay – and we were the first guests. The owners are lovely people who keep the cottage very comfortable, clean and delightfully furnished. The centerpiece, of course, is the spectacular view of the Salt Bay from the porch and dock. The flyovers by bald eagles, herons, crows, and all manner of shore birds is a perpetual treat. Obviously since this is our 8th stay here, we love it. Thanks so much for making our dream spot available!
Owner's Response: When a cottage owner receives a review like this about their rental property, it is something to "crow about" and say thank you!

Beckoning Bay is already beckoning me back!!

Beckoning Bay Cottage is a lovely home overlooking a picturesque bay in scenic Newcastle, Maine. The home boasts two bedrooms, the second of which is perfect for children, along with a massive and fabulous porch, gorgeous lawn, dock leading out to the water and canoe and kayaks, and plenty of room to cook and relax. My husband, child, and I enjoyed escaping our NYC dwellings to spread out amongst the two bedrooms and bathrooms, spacious kitchen, living room, and porch - all of which are nicely furnished and in excellent condition. The house includes all of the essential amenities and plenty of bonuses (fire pit for smores!). The area itself is charming and full of wonderful restaurants and lobster shacks, antique and quilt shops, walking trails, and enough gorgeous docks and decks overlooking water to make anyone want to move permanently. I don't know what I preferred more - gnoshing on a lobster roll in "town," while overlooking the water and incoming and outgoing lobster boats OR cozying up on our porch with a glass of vino. Either way, my experience was a 10/2 thumbs up/4 stars! I should also not fail to mention that the owner is a kind, lovely, and very helpful man!
Owner's Response: It is always a special treat for owners when guests enjoy the features of both the Cottage and its wonderful spot on the Mid Coast of Maine...
