We loved the view from the picture window, primary bedroom, and deck. Easy access to the water from the deck. It is quiet, remote (we found restaurants, shopping, and awesome views nearby, too). We get away once a year to unwind, and this was perfect! (Wi-Fi is excellent). Places we recommend (Dolphin Restaurant, Erica’s take out, Uncle Pete’s Market, Freeport, Brunswick, Baileys Island, Boothbay Harbor).

A gem of a place

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 vacation home situated right on the water has everything one needs for a great vacation. The place was very clean, nicely decorated and appointed with comfortable furniture. Kitchen was fully equipped. We only needed to bring our coffee grinder. The 3 decks along with picnic table and chairs were perfect for outdoor living. You will have coffee on the deck every morning and then enjoy the sunset at night while having dinner.

Lovely seaside gem

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: Amazing location right on the seashore in Harpswell, you really get a feel for the ocean both from the inside and the outside with a three-level deck. A real home away from home, a place that feels lived in by the owners with lots of personal touches from the past and an amazingly well stocked kitchen with all the utensils, pots and pans etc. It may not be for everyone if you're expecting modern style furnishings and bathrooms, but everything works as it should and is very clean, for us, it was the ideal spot. Water can be an issue in Harpswell, but here they have installed a new filtration system and it was all good, you can drink the water straight from the tap. Lots to do in the area and at low tide, you can walk quite far on the seashore, you can go all the way to the old band rotunda at Williams park. Thanks to the Agency for excellent communication and their web site was easy to use for bookings. Hope we can come back in the future! Cheers

This place was the perfect spot for our long weekend in Maine! We had a group of 6 adults and two small children and everyone in the group was enthralled with the breathtaking view from the property. It’s the most scenic spot I’ve ever stayed at. All 8 of us slept comfortably in the 3 bedrooms and my young kids especially loved the bunk bed. I wish we had planned to spend more time at the house and not out and about in Maine but we had a wonderful trip. The only slight criticism I have is maybe better communication about the parking situation/location around the house but besides that it was a perfect trip. The house is on well water which was fine with us since we had drinking water we brought but something to consider as well. Overall I can’t stress enough how great the view, deck, and beach access was at this location. I very much hope to stay here again one day.

relaxing ocean cottage

My family and I enjoyed exploring Harpswell and getting to know Maine's beautiful mid-coast. The cottage has stairs that lead directly to a quiet, protected beach, where we found sand dollars and hermit crabs. The house is clean and comfortable.

Good stay nice property.

This place is comfy and has a great view. Fees were very high, almost doubling the rental fee. Otherwise we enjoyed the stay.

Very relaxing with great biews

What a wonderful location with great views. Very peaceful and relaxing. The house is perfect for any size family. You are far enough away from everything to feel secluded, but close enough to everything in Brunswick. Plenty of food options all around on the islands or in town. The views from the deck and beach are amazing. We love Maine, and this has been one of our favorite locations so far. - Brandon, Lauren, and Brooks-Myrtle Beach,SC

The views are incredible and our kids loved going down to the water at low tide. We have been coming to Harpswell for years - it is such a magical place! We had an issue where the washing machine ruined some of our clothes and would have liked a heads up that it could have happened, but other than that we had no issues.

Cove Side Vaccination

My family and I loved the cottage and the decks overlooking the water. My grandson really enjoyed swimming in the ocean. The layout of the house was great. The kitchen was well stocked with all we needed to cook and eat with. The views from the living room and master bedroom were amazing! My husband was happy there was an outdoor grill. We had a wonderful time and look forward to visiting Harpswell again next year.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We chose this home for the location and it was absolutely gorgeous on the water. We enjoyed that so much. The home was in a nice quiet area and had everything we needed for our stay. Communication was friendly with rental agency, very accommodating. The home does not have a/c, temps were good for our week, it did get a little warm which could be a issue for some during hotter days. We enjoyed our trip to Maine and look forward to visiting again.

Not senior friendly

Property needs an overall update. Best part of the property was the view. No firepit, curb appeal was nonexistent, washer/dryer down treacherous stairs in the basement, couches need replaced/cleaned. The whole thing needs some huge TLC

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was clean and ready for us when we arrived. It was so nice to have the walking beach there at low tide. We observed the hermit crabs and enjoyed the water. We were disappointed that the Adirondack chairs were all broken, but made do with the chairs on the level above.One point though: beware of the step going into the back bedroom. It’s an accident waiting to happen. Thanks for another great stay.
