Quaint house
We enjoyed our stay at the Captain’s House. It’s quaint and quirky. It was clean and comfortable. We were able to easily walk into Damariscotta for the pumpkin festival and other local sights. There’s a fantastic playground near the local Y and Great Salt Bay community school that’s worth the visit if you are traveling with kids. When we were in the house, it was cozy to hang out near the kitchen and living room combo

Wonderful older house
Nice stay, plenty of room for everyone. The house was nice. There are quirks, like the layout and floors that are a little uneven, but that's expected in an older home. The hot water faucet in the upstairs bathroom should be looked at as it was lose. Overall we were very happy and would stay again.

Great location
We enjoyed our stay in this quiet neighborhood. Lots of room to spread out and a lovely front porch to enjoy a cup of morning coffee. Close to downtown Newcastle and Damariscotta, excellent restaurants and shops, and short drive to beautiful nature walks, the ferry to Monhegan and swimming in nearby Damariscotta Mills (freshwater pond). The property manager was very responsive. We were disappointed when the DVD player did not work (frown) since there were many movies we wanted to watch, but whoever stays here next time will have a new one. Kitchen window did not open and the kitchen fan wasn't working, but there were portable fans in other rooms, so we used them instead. Old windows especially in the bedrooms needed sticks to stay up, but all in all we enjoyed our stay in this grand old home. It was terrific having a new W/D to use. Thank you!

Pumpkin Festival weekend
Our group of six friends came up from Massachusetts for Pumpkin Festival weekend. The location of the Captain’s House can’t be beat for access to downtown Damariscotta. It’s about a 10 minute walk. The whole street is lined with beautiful old homes and across the street from the house is a lovely cemetery right on the river. The house is huge with multiple living-rooms and sitting rooms - plenty of space for a group of people to spread out and relax. This is our third visit and we hope to return!

Great location, many positives
First the positives! This property is on an unbelievably cool street located just up the hill from the Damariscotta River and the town. Easy walk into town. The beds were all very comfortable as were the pillows. There was enough space to spread out, this property seems ideal for a family. The porch is a great spot to hang. The little window A/C units actually did a very good job as long as you shut the rooms they were in up. This property is attached to another building that someone is living in. No big deal for us, other than essentially the parking is on the street rather than off the street. No noise issues or anything like that, but I think it’s is good to mention this as it isn’t really a stand alone house, even though it’s huge, it is part of a larger house. The negatives? First and foremost the house needs a deep clean badly. The floors are all very clean and the bathrooms were clean. No issues there. The kitchen was not. All of the glass knobs were really sticky, we immediately wiped them all down a couple times to get them clean. The fridge isn’t gross, but it’s definitely not clean. The freezer really needs to be cleaned. If we had been staying for more than two nights we would have cleaned them. They were not great. We did wipe the handles down as they were also very sticky. Other areas were not dirty per se, but just really need a good cleaning. Generally not a huge deal, but when paying a cleaning fee in addition to the nightly rate we sort of expect stuff to at least be mostly clean. It was not. One of the bathrooms has a claw foot tub and the shower head needs to be changed to one that will throw the water, it essentially just runs out and straight down. Otherwise this bathroom is great. The other bathroom doubled as the laundry room and had a bunch of stuff(vacuum cleaner, broom, etc) just sort of thrown in the corner. Seems like that could find a better neater place. The shower is a small stand up and is pretty hard to shower in if you are over 5’10” or a bigger person. Sucks to not be able to get a decent shower. For most people maybe that isn’t an issue, but we like to have a good shower. The mowers showing up at 7:20 AM and running mowers and string trimmers loudly on one of the two nights all year we are away from our 5 year old and could have slept in wasn’t amazing. Also they coated our cars down when they weed whacked one foot away. Overall a nice place that could use a bit of work and cleaning.
