Spectacular views in a great location.

My family had a great time staying here. House was very spacious and clean with amazing view from back deck. Lots of beautiful walks and places to fish. Close to nice restaurants and shopping.

Peaceful retreat on the water

We just wrapped up a perfect weeklong vacation at the Captain’s Quarters. The home was spotless, quiet, comfortable and even nicer than the photos. Beautiful view, peaceful, but just a few minutes from restaurants etc. We had almost no issues. One day we contacted the front desk about an issue with our television and they brought a new TV the next day. Very responsive and helpful! We can’t wait to return again next year! We made so many beautiful memories at the house.

Gorgeous property

Listing is as described. We didn’t mind sharing the yard with other guests as most folks keep to themselves. This is the authentic experience in Maine. York Harbor is very quaint and very quiet with upscale sights and destinations all around. We lucked out with fantastic end of summer weather too.

Wonderful Getaway

This cottage is just perfect! Well appointed, clean and comfortable. The pictures don’t do it justice. The location is breathtaking. Quiet and isolated but access to Dockside is a nice plus.

Quite and private, great location, great views.

We did a four week rental at the Dockside-Captain's Quarters and had a truly enjoyable time. The house is quiet and private and has great views of the ocean and harbor entrance. Dockside is a great location for exploring the south coast of Maine. York Harbor is a lovely village with beautiful homes, great restaurants and bars, and Ogunquit and Kennebunkport are a short drive away. This is a large, three bedroom house suitable for a family or a couple of close friends. The innkeepers, Eric and Carol, and their staff, are all very friendly and accommodating. Dockside provides a really nice marina and a very good restaurant. While the Captain's Quarters has a wonderful, large deck, I would recommend taking the time to go up to the Maine House and sit out on the front porch. I have found few things more relaxing and enjoyable than sitting on this porch in the afternoon [with a tall rum drink] and watching the boats coming and going from the harbor. If you are looking for a large house on coast of Maine with a great location and great views, then this is the place.

Perfect for Extend Family Escapes

My wife and I discovered the Dockside in the late 90's and enjoyed escaping there even in the late fall, for some rooms not only have great views but fireplaces as well. Once my wife passed, my family started sharing the Dockside and the Captain's Quarters, which has room enough for our nine. With three sleeping quarters, my two children's families each have a room of their own, and I get to escape to a wonderful master bedroom. We love the place so much that this year my daughter's family flew in from Texas and my son's drove in from Western New York. Eric, Carol, and their staff make the Dockside a perfect family escape, and you couldn't ask for more family friendly accommodations than the Captain's Quarters. We only wish we could come more often.

A Perfect Family Vacation

Finding the perfect vacation spot for a family of 15 isn't easy, however, the Captain's Quarters at Dockside is the perfect solution. We have been renting the Captain's Quarters along with the adjoining suites for many years. The view is breathtaking, the accommodations are inviting, comfortable and clean. The privacy offered in that particular setting is unparalleled and the lawn and surrounding grounds offer so much for our children & grandchildren. The innkeepers are perfect hosts and are always available to answer questions and provide local information, as well as great stories about living on the coast of Maine. If you choose the breakfast package, the homemade muffins, quiche, fruit etc are delicious and eating on the grand porch of the main house offers phenomenal views of the York River and harbor. Eating in is easy as the kitchen has everything needed for preparing casual family dining including an outdoor grill. Enjoy falling asleep to the sound of the changing tides and awaken to a gorgeous sunrise! A perfect family vacation!

A Fabulous Place for Family Vacation!

We rented the Captains Quarters for an intergenerational vacation of grandparents, parents and children. What a Find! Ample space(3 bedrooms) with a stunningly gorgeous view of the river. The Quarters were nicely furnished with a full kitchen and cooking equipment and a washer dryer. No need to go out for meals unless you want to. Also an outdoor grill for cookouts. We took advantage of their boat rental for a wonderful day. Eric was terrific suggesting where to go on the river and ocean. They also provided beach chairs. Badmitten and shuffleboard for the kids. Kayaking available in walking distance. Beach a short drive. Our one week vacation last year was so successful that we reserved for two weeks this summer!

Travelling Texan

Dockside is a great place; its pictures don't do it justice. The setting, with its water views, is outstanding. The location is peaceful and quiet, yet it is close to many activities. The rooms are well appointed and clean, and the food at both the Inn breakfast and the onsite restaurant is excellent. the staff is very friendly and helpful. My wife and I have stayed at Dockside the last two years (just the two of us) and were joined this year for part of the stay by our immediate family (all 19 of us). Dockside worked for us for both the large group and as a couple. The larger group enjoyed activities such as the nearby beaches, sightseeing, kayaking and especially some competitive shuffleboard games onsite. The Captain's Quarters served very well as a gathering spot for family dinners and games. The BBQ grill was a little rickety, but the staff quickly repaired it for our use. The Inn breakfast also served as an impromptu gathering place for family chats. My 7 year old granddaughter best summed up our feelings about Dockside when, on departure morning she said to me " Papa, I don't want to leave this place".

Home away from home in gorgous waterside setting

Our family of 6 enjoyed a wonderful week stay in this house two years in a row. Two large bedrooms are upstairs with a full bath in between; a huge master bedroom with sitting area and a full bath is downstairs. A half bath is off the entry way. We loved sitting on the porch and watching the lobsterboats go by. A green lawn rolls down to the edge of the sea and gave our grandchildren a great place to play. The Dockside also has a restaurant which offers seafood, steaks, and other selections - excellent cuisine and open for lunch and dinner on most days. With the perfect setting, spacious house, and restaurant it provided us a perfect vacation. Highly recommended!
