About this cottage rental

This quaint one-bedroom cottage perched on the water's edge is the perfect spot for a small family or a romantic getaway for two. The view of the sunrise can be enjoyed while relaxing on the covered deck, from the living room window or the bench that is situated perfectly near the rocks edge. Ocean Watch sits next to the owners vacation home, and is situated so that you have your privacy. Guests will have access to a small rocky/pebbly beach that is private and perfect to launch your kayak, collect rocks and shells, or sit and enjoy a picnic lunch while watching the boat traffic go by. Should you choose to bring a kayak, you'll love exploring north to Lowell's Cove, paddling over to Ragged, Pond or Elm Island, or going through the Cribstone bridge and paddling around the beautiful Harpswell Sound. Ocean Watch is conveniently located within walking distance of the historic Cribstone Bridge, H2Outfitter kayak rentals, and restaurants serving fresh seafood. The interior of the cottage is clean and quaint and has everything you need to enjoy your vacation, complete with a lobster pot. There are so many activities to be enjoyed from this cottage that your vacation is sure to be a memorable one.

Pets are welcome at Ocean Watch (a non-refundable pet fee applies).

Ocean Watch does not have a washer and dryer, but there is a laundromat in Brunswick, just 15-20min away.

Ocean watch puts you right on the rocky shore to get lost in the ebb and flow of the tides. Easy hikes and good eating nearby. Great communication from the hosts. A bit tricky to find among the other places on the street so glad we arrived in daylight!

We loved the location and the cabin was more suited for 2 instead of 3 or 4. It really had all of the amenities, but found a few that we’re missing or could have improved our stay, but they were very minor. We would come back and stay.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Since our last stay this rental has gone down hill. Do not stay here if you have a bad back as the mattress is way beyond it's comfort level. I spent the last 2 nights here sleeping in the car. My wife got up each morning was little sleep and a back ach. The oven is so dirty that you can't even heat something up without setting off the smoke alarm. The windows are hard to open and one window in the bedroom won't open. The light over the dining table only had one working light bulb. There was only a small trickle of hot water to the kitchen sink and that took for ever. WE heated the water for washing dishes in the kettle and used that. The parking are is over grown and it was hard to unload and load the car along with the steps and path to the cottage. I also think there may be black mold along the flooring at the kitchen sink.This place need much maintenance, and it is not a good valve for over $2,100.00 for a week.If there was anyway we could have got our money back after the first night of trying to sleep on that very, very, bad mattress we would have left.The only good thing this cottage has going for it right now is the front porch. The rental company should advise the future renters for the remainder of the summer about the sleeping conditions, it really ruined our vacation. I also bet this review will not show up on their website!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The covered porch was an ideal spot to watch lobster boats, fishing birds, and even porpoises or to read a book while listening to the waves breaking on the rocks. Set way off the road, the location was very quiet and dog friendly. The cabin itself was tiny, especially the bedroom, but the queen size bed pushed against the wall was comfortable. No dishwasher but gas stove and large fridge. Plug in space heater only so bring warm layers. Two maintenance issues: lots of poison ivy in bushes (leash dogs) and picture window needs replacing since condensation between the double glass obscures view. That said, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return. It would make an ideal writing/art/meditation retreat for one person.

We sat out every morning and evening listening to the water and watching the fisherman going out and in. It is a lovely location and the cabin is just right for two people. Thank you for a great week away.

The property is everything one would expect in a shore front cottage. The sunrise views were gorgeous and the surroundings were quite private and quiet. We have already reserved a week next summer!

Couldn't rave enough about my stay at Ocean Watch. The setting is incredibly beautiful - from sunrise to sunset. Really a magical view. The simple accommodations are comfortable and cozy. The kitchen is nicely stocked, but spent most of my cooking on the grill. Mid coast Maine is very beautiful, and there's not a better seat to view this beauty than Ocean Watch. And the folks at Homes and Harbors couldn't be nicer or more helpful.
