About this cottage rental

Welcome to Tidewatch!

Tidewatch is a lovely 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom cottage located on beautiful Basin Cove. Enjoy the deck, on the edge of the water, with an outdoor dining table and chairs. As you enter the house into the spacious family room complete with many board games, there is a bedroom to your right with a set of twin beds. As you continue on you will enter the galley-style kitchen, with plenty of space to cook your lobster feast. An open dining and living area with walls of windows and sliders will bring the outdoors in with beautiful water views. A full bathroom and bedroom with a queen bed are just around the corner.

Although this property is tidal, enjoy being able to swim or bring your own kayak to launch right from the property at high tide. Just a quick ride down the road brings you to the Dolphin Marina and Restaurant - allow yourself to indulge in their famous haddock chowder before taking a tour to Eagle Island for the day. Erica's Seafood is also down the road. The Curtis Cove walking trail just a short walk from the cottage. Stovers Beach is about a 5-minute car ride away, great for beachcombing, kayaking, and swimming. There is even a lagoon area at high tide perfect for little kids.

We really enjoyed our stay, it is a cute little cottage style house, on the water. The location was perfect because it was centralized around our family and the places we like to eat. Will definitely rent this place again! 🙂

This place is super cute. The water does smell a bit like the ocean but they do provide separate drinking water and the tide does go in and out - the title of the property is fitting. Overall this was a cute place to stay with a lovely view - be careful backing out of the driveway though, people zoom down that road.

Very quiet and peaceful by the Cove. Was nice to see the tide come in and out. Lots of local information available. The cottage was nice and clean and easy to find.

Main problem was running out of water. Not until we arrived were we warned about low water in the well, so one shower per day for one of us. when the water did work it smelled like a swamp. Also, don't be fooled by the pictures of the inlet. Only at high tide are you not looking out at 300 yards of mud. Those stairs that imply that they lead to the beach actually lead to a jungle of eelgrass and junk. We have been renting on this site for over 20 years and this is the first time that we left two nights early in order to return to civilization.

House had everything you would need. Lots of living space. Bed was the best "rental" I've ever been in. So comfortable! Only downside would be the tight parking and the tight shower (but the hot water and water pressure was awesome!)

Great location, close to trails, tourist sites, restaurants, even local farms selling eggs, meat, vegetables. The shower is on the small size and will be uncomfortable for anyone who is on the larger size. Don't expect AC or a dishwasher. But otherwise the cottage is comfortable, with opportunities for star gazing by its fire pit.

This was the perfect spot for a quiet getaway for our little family of four. We've loved coming back to this area the past couple years, and this house had everything we needed and more! The house was comfortable, with plenty of living/eating/sleeping space for everyone, and conveniently close to a couple restaurants, ice cream, and all the lovely little scenic spots Harpswell has to offer. Being right on the water made for a very relaxing stay (even with two small children)! Will definitely plan to stay here again!

The accommodations were very good. Beds comfortable and plenty of towels. Shower on the small size but manageable. Had an issue with the TV that the office resolved. Relayed to the office that the house was dusty and they would address. Communication with the office was fine if within operating hours. Overall nice place to stay and would consider staying again. thanks

Great place

Great place

We had a great stay. The property appears small from the outside but has plenty of space, and would’ve accommodated more than our family of three. We fell in love w the area, there is so much to do, we went on a different hike each day, tried different beaches and although it’s a touristy area it doesn’t feel congested like other parts of Maine can. The location of the house was great for exploring the area and has beautiful views.

We had a great time. It was quiet and clean and peaceful. We were blessed with fantastic weather. Our only negative was the unpleasant odor from the water, so we used bottled water for drinking and making coffee.
