A second living area boasts wall-to-wall windows and includes a sofa, armchair, and rocking chair.

Fix a cup of tea and relax in the den that offers an additional sofa and plush armchair.

We loved our stay in Prospect Harbor - everything was great. We were nervous not having AC, but the windows had screens so we were able to leave them open and feel cool all night. We were given the wrong door code but customer support was able to promptly get us the right code, even though we showed up at 11PM. Highly recommend, we will be returning!

The view was outstanding. Great location. The best part was just taking a breath and relaxing both indoors or outdoors. No issues with water pressure as others have noted. Six adults and we always had plenty of hot water.

We enjoyed our stay at the house. We only had some minor issues with the wrong code to enter and misc things, but the Vacasa Staff was quick to respond and help us out. We were extremely grateful for that. We never had issues with water. We read reviews and were worried, but no problems. The house provided us with beautiful views every day and allowed us to enjoy our stay as a family of 6 celebrating all our anniversaries together. We want to thank the family for lettings use their home as our home away from home in a place that will forever in our hearts. Maine we love you.
