About this property

Charming Oceanfront Cottage with Spectacular Sunset Views

Turn-of-the-century cottage situated directly on Maine coast waterfront in a secluded clearing. Enjoy evenings on the deck listening to waves lap the shore and watching the sun setting over the Atlantic Ocean with Mt. Washington in the background. The location on the western side of a peninsula permits this unique and wonderful perspective. The size and sleeping configuration make this cozy property ideal for one person or a couple. Modern technology comforts with high speed Wi-Fi Internet and Roku with unlimited Netflix. We do NOT have cable TV service, only Roku with unlimited Netflix.

Neighborhood: The cottage is located in a small neighborhood of approximately 15 summer dwellings. These cottages are located at the end of a one mile dirt road through undeveloped forest. So, the area is very quiet with virtually no traffic. There are neighbors on three sides, each approximately 100 feet away. The cottage is situated immediately on the oceanfront and enjoys direct beach access. The beach is rocky, not sandy, so it is not ideal for swimming, though it is well-suited for walks along the shore at low tide. The Atlantic Ocean in Maine is cold, reaching only about 55 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer.

Cosy Cottage in Harpswell Center
We really enjoyed this cottage. It is small, but big enough for one couple, very comfortable and cozy, and had everything we needed. It has a wonderful view of the bay from the deck and is very secluded and quiet (except for the acorns raining on the roof, which was kind of fun.) The host was very helpful and accommodating.

Beautiful sunsets. Great host!
Lovely cottage. Great for 2 people. Everything you need is there. We had a small problem and David was on it immediately. Best is drinks on the porch watching the sunset.

A little bit of heaven by the sea
My sister and I rented this cottage with our two ten year old daughters. We loved every minute of this peaceful retreat. David was an excellent host. We swam, kayaked and enjoyed exploring around Harpswell. I hope we can make it back!

Peaceful Cabin
Delightful, comfortable waterfront cabin with homey touches. Feels like the way I've always dreamed a family cabin would. Comfortable spaces, updated bathroom, sunny kitchen - just great!

Scenic Hideaway
My husband and I enjoyed our stay at this scenic hideaway for vacation. The sunsets are amazing. As well, the lobster man is just down the street (Allen's seafood). The cottage is close to Portland and Boothbay Harbor for day trips. Otherwise, we just enjoyed sitting out and reading a good book ... with daily fresh seafood for healthy eating. Highly recommend.
