Beautiful and serene Island Time!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our 4th stay at Island Time with our 4 adult kids and a few grandchildren. We love the open floor plan of this home inside and outside! The sprawling grounds and large wrap-around porch offer plenty of space for all to relax. We enjoy kayaking and can launch directly off the dock on property, frequent lobster pounds for fresh lobster and seafood, take dips in the small pool on property and enjoy preparing our family dinners in the evening. Island Time is just a beautiful home with history in an amazing location. The water views are visible from just about every room in the house. Our time here is always a wonderful time and memories abound!

Perfect Retreat

The house itself was gorgeous and came with everything one needs for a large group. Plenty of space, seating, and cooking implements in the kitchen. The grounds were beautiful with all of the landscaping, the pool, wrap around porch and natural views.

Wildlife Heaven

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: As an avid wildlife photographer, I didn't have to leave the wrap around porch to see bald eagles, harbor seals, porpoises, ospreys carrying fish, American Mink, porcupines and more! It was an outdoors-woman's dream! The house's views from every room was the icing on the cake.We were able to rent kayaks and paddleboards from Seaspray Kayaks (delivery & pickup) to enjoy being on the water, and appreciated the ladder on the dock for swimming as well. We have the name of a great scuba diver (thanks, Alex, from Johnson's Sporting Goods) if you happen to drop something off the dock!We were grateful to be 15 minutes away from all our favorite farmers' markets and restaurants and the location is perfect. After renting in the Harpswell area for the last 9 years, this is the first Maine house my husband said, "Let's buy it!". So whenever the Bowdoin Alum is ready, give us a call!

Beautiful Property

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our family's second visit to Island Time, and we were thrilled to be back. With an extended family in tow, we had ample space, and plenty of recreational activities right at the property. We rented from SeaSpray Kayaking, and they were terrific as they deliver right to the house. We kayaked, paddleboarded, and even did a bit of unsuccessful fishing. There was also swimming in the pool and relaxing and reading on the many porches. Island Time is also close to hiking trails, and it is a quick drive to Brunswick for any needed supplies. We loved our stay, and we hope to return in 2026.

Such a beautiful house!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed for four nights and had such a lovely time. Everyone at mainestay vacations was very kind and attentive. The check in and check out process was super easy as well. The house is gorgeous as well as the views. Lots of coastal new england charm. The house is also very spacious for large gatherings! My husband and I had some trouble with the king bed being pretty uncomfortable, but the hosts offered to reimburse us for purchasing a mattress pad for it which was very kind and really improved our sleep! The rest of the beds were comfortable except that one. Cleanliness in most areas was great except for the kitchen unfortunately. The only oven mitts in the kitchen were covered in dog hair, which is odd because we didn’t see dog hair anywhere else. There was also a used straw in one of the drawers and some dirty silverware along with things from other guests that maybe should’ve been tossed out. It wasn’t too bad but it could’ve been cleaner, everywhere else was great! It wouldn’t deter me from booking again! The serenity of the property is the main draw. It’s quiet and tucked away without being too far from town, and the views are stunning.

Best Family Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: When you have four grandchildren from ages 7-12, and they all asked to come back next year, you know you have found the perfect location for a family vacation. The whole family, 10 of us, had more than enough room for all of us to be very comfortable. Between a huge house, a porch on three sides of the house-all with a water view, a yard perfect for outdoor play and the two dogs, AND the pool, no one had a complaint. This is the place wonderful memories can be made.

Scenic Peace and Quiet, Together with Privacy

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was gigantic and incredibly well-appointed with a 240 degree view of the Casco Bay. So many indoor and outdoor sitting spaces including a sunroom built into the kitchen. Porch time was everyone's favorite and we absolutely saw the lobstermen/person checking their traps right in front. Kayaking off the dock was incredible. Because the house is so large, the space works best for a multigenerational family that wants a combination of together time and privacy. We celebrated my mother's 80th birthday and it was a time for all to remember. In addition to raving about the property, I cannot say enough good things about Marcy and Darcie from MaineStay vacations. They provide clear instructions, are incredibly responsive, and yet relaxed and generous. It helps that they are local and know all of the best local businesses and spots. Much better than VRBO or AirBNB!

September Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of 7 plus a young baby had the most wonderful time visiting Island Time in Harpswell. From morning coffees to evening happy hours, the wraparound deck provided the most relaxing venue. We had plenty of fun kayaking, exploring the grounds, taking a dip in the pool, and enjoying family time together in the most gorgeous setting. House was clean with everything we needed for cooking in and making the most of our stay. We look forward to returning next year!

Wonderful Week!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family vacation at Island Time was relaxing and restful. We are a family of seven adults and two young children under five, and we had plenty of space. The beautiful grounds include a pool, a dock, sprawling lawns and perennial gardens which overlook the water. The porch gave us plenty of room to enjoy morning coffee and afternoon drinks. The lawns provided ample space for several games. We kayaked and paddle boarded from the dock. The adult children noted this was one of their favorite vacations, and the grandchildren didn't want to leave the pool. We hope to return to this special place next year.
