This charming home is all set for guests ready to enjoy the fresh air, including an expansive deck, a private gas grill, and access to a private dock. The decor inside is inspired directly by the great outdoors, with handsome floors and touches inspired by the natural world. The luxurious kitchen's stone countertops are sure to inspire cooks to prepare delicious meals during their stay. Equipped with all the essentials, as well as appliances like a coffee maker, blender, toaster, and microwave, you have everything you need to whip up a memorable feast. The downstairs bedroom has been recently updated with a large clothes dresser as well as new window blinds. It also features a desk workspace for those who want to catch up on remote work or school-related tasks. The upstairs bedroom (the main bedroom of the home) occupies the entire second floor, and guests of this room can enjoy a private furnished balcony and en suite bathroom with a rain-style showerhead. At the end of a long day, enjoy winding down in front of the gas fireplace while your favorite tunes play over the speakers or while watching either of the TVs equipped with YouTube TV (for live TV), Netflix, Hulu, Prime, and HBO. Sunrise views come standard at this lovely home, which sits just 50 feet away from the Harpswell ocean waterfront.

Dock details: Guests can enjoy access to a runway that, at low tide, is 15 feet above the water level. Guests can launch kayaks from the shore line - please note that there is nowhere to tie up a boat. All boats and water equipment must be brought back to the house after each use (do not leave it at the dock).

1) Owner's Kayaks: The Owner's kayaks are only the 2 kayaks that are directly in front of the house. They can be carried down, placed in the water and used. After use they should then be returned to the area in front of the house, and should not at ANY time be left on the grass area down near the dock, nor on the dock itself. This is because that land and the dock is not the Owner's property. There is only right of way access.

2) Neighbor's Kayaks & Rack: The kayaks that are on racks down on the grassy area near the dock are NOT the owner's kayaks, and should not be used at any time. Those kayaks belong to a neighbor and should not be touched. Likewise, the Owner's kayaks should never be left near or on on the neighbors' kayak rack.

3) Dock Usage: As a renter of the Owner's house, you also have access to walk on & sit on the dock, which is behind the red barn. To clarify, this is the dock to the left, as you look towards the water. However, you may not leave any property on the dock, nor may you use the chairs that are on that dock. If you want to sit on the dock, you may bring down the Owner's chairs, which are leaning against the side of the Owner's house. However, you may not leave any of the Owner

The Damage Waiver covers you for up to $3,000 of accidental damage to the Property or its contents (such as furniture, fixtures, and appliances) as long as you report the incident to the host prior to checking out. The Damage Waiver fee eliminates the need for a traditional security deposit.
More information can be downloaded from the "Rental Agreement" on the checkout page.

This beautiful, clean, and spacious house by the water truly lives up to its name! Plenty of common space, comfortable beds, well-supplied kitchen, balcony views of water, charming Maine decor, and provided kayaks make this an ideal vacation spot for a small family.

This was a quick few days away for me and my friend to get rejuvenated from disabled veteran husbands that require care. The property is in a very tranquill setting with georgous veiws of the ocean from most every room and space. The property was a little hard to find as the street sign was covered by tree branches and leaves. A few of the paving stones in the beautiful stairway to the property were loose so going up and down required additional care. It was overall a beautiful spot. I would and will definely recommend this property.

This was my second time renting this home in the hopes the water filtration system had been fixed. Water was still not drinkable nor were we able to take showers it smelled so bad. And to boot the outside patio heater and dishwasher were broken as well.

This home is truly lovely! We cooked dinner on the gas grill, and ate on the lovely patio one night, and had lobster rolls at Holbrooks the other night. Watched sunrises and sunsets from the dock. We love Harpswell, and have stayed in many rentals over the years -- this was one of our favorites!

Things I loved: seeing the sunrise from my big comfy bed; that our pup was welcome here; the fire pit; taking the kayaks out around the island, watching the bustling fishing community, and seeing our "natural neighbors", the osprey and a heron! Improvements include: fixing loose stones on stairs as they present safety concerns; increasing the water pressure in the kitchen; and repairing dishwasher (we called for maintenance and received no follow up), .

Located near water. Fairly quiet neighborhood. Nice ocean views of fisheries harbor.

We loved this house and the location. We just wish there were blackout shades in the bedroom!

The location of the house, nestled in the trees, close to the water, was the best feature. The decor of the home provided that ‘Maine’ feel. The layout of the furniture was not ‘family friendly.’ Perhaps a loveseat/small sofa in front of the tv/fireplace would allow more people to sit together. Maybe have some board games/cards to play (rainy days/evenings). I strongly suggest providing directions on how to use the upstairs shower. We ended up taking lukewarm showers the first few days until we got it working properly. We gave it 4/5 stars because the downstairs shower wasn’t cleaned well (lots of hair on the floor), the coffee maker was a bit dirty and the lack of instructions to operate the upstairs shower (and the dishwasher). Overall we enjoyed our stay here and had a wonderful vacation.
