About this property

Bay Vista - 3BR, 2BA waterfront home with sunset views over Middle Bay

Imagine water all around you as you stand in the living room of this recently renovated cottage, and you feel as though you're standing on the bridge of a ship--water, water everywhere. This 3BR, 2BA cottage rests directly on Middle Bay (Casco Bay area) with stair access to approximately one hundred feet of private sand/rock/calm-water beach. You'll love the deck for cooking and eating outside, a separate yard for ball or badminton games and privacy without isolation. Families love the ability to swim, fish or investigate tidal pools without leaving the property. Mom and Dad can enjoy quiet time on the deck as the setting sun provides a gorgeous show.

Inside the cottage you will find a fully stocked kitchen, dining area with seating for 6, a full bathroom with a shower, a living area with beautiful ocean views, as well as a wall-mounted tv with cable and internet. Upstairs you'll find a bedroom with two twins, a full bathroom with a shower, closet space in the hallway, and the master bedroom with ocean views. In the lower level, there's a queen bed, additional storage space, and access to the washer and dryer. For added comfort and convenience, the owners installed heat pumps offering heat and A/C for the warm summer months.

Despite its quiet location and relative privacy, it`s still close to wonderful restaurants and other local amenities. It`s also only 15 minutes from Brunswick for shopping and supplies. If you`re looking for beachfront living at its finest--with updated interiors, 180-degree views of the water and a small beach community--this is your new favorite vacation spot!

Fantastic views & relaxing stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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’ve never stayed in the midcoast area before and were very pleased with our experience with the Bay Vista property and MaineStay Vacations. The property had amazing views and was in a nice, quiet area, very conducive to a relaxing vacation. It was clean, well-stocked and comfortable - we spent a lot of time enjoying the views from the deck, kayaking from nearby George Mitchell Park and driving around the area. It was very humid during our stay, so we were very happy to have A/C!The MaineStay team was very informative and super responsive, making sure we had all of the necessary info to fully enjoy our stay.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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 stay at Bay Vista was perfect! The views were amazing, sunsets included! It was great to be able to walk the beach at low tide and swim at high tide. The home was very clean and comfortable, loved all the windows, and had everything we needed. The location was great, various areas to explore locally, and convenient to have Brunswick close by. The management team was great with providing us all necessary info, and always quick to respond if we had questions. We look forward to staying here again- thank you!!

Sunset central

Beautiful views of Middle Bay. Mornings watching the lobster boats and evenings watching the sunsets, all while listening to the sea gulls discuss who's getting the day's findings. Compliment this taste of Maine with a fresh and brightly remodeled cottage, and you can't go wrong staying here if you're looking to experience everything Maine coast has to offer.

Great place, well appointed, would repeat!

We thoroughly enjoyed out stay at Bay Vista in Harpswell Maine this past week. The house was right on the water, with a great porch, awesome views, the best sunsets ever! It was very comfortable for my husband and I and we could have accommodated another 4 people easily. The owners provided any item you might need in a kitchen and we were lacking for nothing to cook every night! The house was very clean, in very good condition with no real complaints at all. We would recommend this property anytime and would surely do it again another time.
