4 Bedroom House in Pemaquid Beach, Bristol
LAUGHTON HOUSE — A 4-BEDROOM MAINE HOME ACROSS THE ROAD FROM PEMAQUID BEACH
Four bedrooms, two bathrooms, sleeps nine. Laughton House is a 19th-century home in the heart of Pemaquid Beach village, literally across the road from Pemaquid Beach State Park. Built for the kind of family trip where the whole family is under one roof and nobody needs to get in the car.
THE HOUSE
There`s a bunk room the kids will claim on sight, a game closet packed with board games, and a living room with a Smart TV and comfortable furniture for rainy afternoons. The kitchen has a 5-burner gas range, dishwasher, French press, coffee grinder, and enough pots, pans, and counter space to cook for a crowd every night of the week. Travel crib and high chair are here if you need them. Washer and dryer, too. Central heat throughout, AC in the living room.
The porches are where the real memories get made. Upper balcony for morning coffee with a glimpse of the bay. Lower porch for after-dinner conversations that stretch past dark. Picnic table in the yard, grill for the evenings, fire pit out back.
WHAT`S WALKABLE
Pemaquid is the kind of place that hasn`t been discovered yet — no crowds, no traffic, no souvenir shops. Pemaquid Beach State Park is across the road. Fort William Henry and Colonial Pemaquid are 0.3 miles. Maine Kayak rents kayaks and SUPs half a mile away. The Contented Sole for sunset dinners is also walkable. C.E. Reilly & Son grocery is less than a mile away. Guests have spotted eagles, seals, and fox without leaving the property.

Damariscotta (15 min) for Hannaford grocery, oyster bars, and bookstores. Boothbay Harbor (35 min) for the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens and whale-watching.
FOR FOOD
