I have been going to a roughly 100 year old summer cottage owned by one of my college fraternity brothers on the northern point of the harbor since 1971. This year due to increasing demands of an increasing family for limited summer weeks they decided not to rent the cottage out. I was delighted to find Alitha's property on Molly's Cove Rd. We rented it for 9 days, from a Friday through the following Sunday which was a welcome change from the usual Saturday to Saturday rentals of most other properties. If you have ever driven Coastal US 1 from the Maine Turnpike to the Damariscotta Peninsula you will appreciate being able to drive through Wiscasset without the normal up to 1 hour delay caused by the Saturday to Saturday renters. The cottage on the point has been maintained to preserve the rustic charm of the turn of last century. Alitha's property was a welcome change, completely remodeled about 3 years ago, while retaining some of the original elements of her grandparents' house. Everything promised on the website was delivered. It was walk-in ready, just unpack luggage and unload the groceries. What a change to have a dishwasher and washer and dryer. No more doing dishes by hand and trips to the Elm Street Laundromat. The kitchen was fully stocked with tools, eating utensils and pots and pans. Even a pot big enough for me to make my traditional 2 gallons of fish, clam, mussel chowder. All linens and towels were provided. It was like checking into a first class motel. We were greeted with a vase of fresh flowers and a basket of candy and two jars of local gourmet preserves. The spacious yard was great for our 2 and a half year old granddaughter to play and also just sit in one of the lawn chairs and read a book. It was a little chilly in mid-September, so we didn't take advantage of the kayaks. Maybe next year if we get back in warmer weather. Alitha and her husband Jim were very welcoming, available to answer any questions, but were very unobtrusive. I wasn't sure what it was going to be like living next door to the landlord, but we hardly knew they were there. The harbor view was fantastic, even though 180 degrees reversed from our normal perspective. Another advantage to the property over the cottage was a shorter walk to King Ro Market in the morning for the paper and Monday evening concert, the wharf for fresh lobster and crab, the Round Pond Shoppe for brass figurines, the Coffee Shop for lunch and Granite Hall for penny candy, etc.
