THINGS TO KNOW Strict parking guidelines, no more than 2 cars at home, no street parking allowed Streaming services are available with guests' own account(s). Guests must travel by car to reach this home. Two kayaks are available for guest use. Guests can enjoy access to a runway that, at low tide, is 15 feet above the water level. Guests can launch kayaks from the shoreline, though it should be noted there is nowhere to tie up a boat. Snowbird-friendly. Contact Vacasa for details. If you are bringing a dog on your trip, the pet fee is already included in your quote when selecting ‘Yes’ to pets. No more dogs are allowed. Parking notes: There is free parking available for 2 vehicles. 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 Damage waiver: The total cost of your reservation for this Property includes a nightly damage waiver fee, plus tax if applicable (the “Damage Waiver”).

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.

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. ##### Valerie M. Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Carla S.

Oct 26, 2024 #### Peaceful, Remote, and Rustic with a view My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights to rest and restore on the way home from a long trip in Canada before completing the last leg of our drive back home. The space was beautiful and high end on the surface. But once you were in there it wasn't as nice as it looked. 2 handles fell off the cabinetry, the insides of the cabinets were a mess and a mish-mosh, there was not all things needed for everyday cooking, and the pots, pans and utensils were awful and over-used. It takes a learning curve to use the lights, shower and toilet, and there aren't true comfortable seating areas. It is managed by an outside and company, and really had that feel that someone distant managed it and cared for it very little. ##### Esterina A.

The house is a perfect get away retreat. It had extra touches that make it homey and yet a little modern. It was close to hiking trails, beaches, parks , lighthouses and many other things to see but they aren’t in your backyard. I would go back in a heartbeat! The only thing I didn’t like was Vacasa booking agency! I called twice and was put on hold so long I hung up. Even when I texted them back they still did not reply. I would never book with them again, but again this rental property is a delightful breath of fresh air! ##### Beth D.

Jul 3, 2023 #### Beautiful Location 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. ##### Denise H.

Jan 29, 2023 #### Disappointed This is a nice home but it's lacking a lot of things that would make a guest's visit so much more enjoyable. Bed listed in downstairs bedroom is listed as a queen but it's just a double. No closet or dresser in the downstairs bedroom is extremely inconvenient. Be prepared to live out of your suitcase if you have to stay in that bedroom. Also, no curtains in the bedrooms is weird and uncomfortable. Would not rebook this house and would not recommend to others. ##### Connie E. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Rachel D. Aug 1, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Has potential The house itself inside could and is beautiful with high end appliances and details. With that being said, there needs to be some repairs. Master bath is beautiful, however towel racks fell of the wall. The shower tile stuck to my husbands feet. Could not get the ac to work. Dishes were in cabinets dirty, the dish drying rack just needs to be replaced. This home could be an amazing get away with just a few minor repairs. The views are amazing and the location is perfect. Not too far to town for grocery or restaurants ##### Rachel D. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Tracy S. Nov 10, 2022 #### Harpswell First time I have used Vacasa. This home had many "glitches" that we made them aware of. Hopefully they are resolved for the next guests. Things I learned about this listing...you must be completely comfortable in your own skin as it is very open with little privacy. The other thing is the ocean view is from the private dock, perhaps when leaves have fallen you can see from the home but our water views were very limited. The private dock is not far and very enjoyable. The sunrise from the master suite is breathtaking. If you are looking for a quiet getaway this would be for you. For our first trip to Maine from Oregon it was not quite what I thought I was getting. I was absolutely disappointed. ##### Tracy S.

We loved staying at the house - to wake up to the view of the harbor was fabulous! The house is lovely with nice space to gather for breakfast or watch a movie. Loved the ease of turning on the fireplace. The master bathroom is gorgeous! ##### Karen M. ### 8/10 Good #### Douglas P. Sep 16, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Charming getaway The setting is ideal. A true working harbor with lobster boats going and coming daily. The cottage is very charming, but not without some quirks. It only has one chair to watch tv and only one chair for the upper balcony. The kitchen did not have a lobster pot, which is odd for a lobster harbor setting. Aside from those quirks, it is the perfect place to explore southern coastal Maine. ##### Douglas P. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Mitchell S. Sep 9, 2022 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### No as presented Place had so many issues! Black ants, mosquitoes & moths everywhere. Rug in living room smelled of urine, outdoor rug smelled old and moldy. Air conditioning didn’t work first night and we had issues with it on and off the whole stay. Ran out of propane before 1st week of a 2 week stay so had no use of oven for a day and place filled up with smell of gas. Had issues with outlets so had to keep checking fuses which were impossible to access due to owners having so much stuff in laundry room. 2nd bedroom advertised with Queen bed but it was a full bed too small! Mush mash of glassware, plates, pots and pans but supposed to be a gourmet kitchen. 2 windows broken upstairs that we couldn’t close. All the screens were loose so we couldn’t open windows which was the whole point of going to Maine at end of summer for the beautiful New England fresh air. Several broken stairs in front entrance which was very dangerous! Ice machine in fridge didn’t work. Apparently, management was aware of some of these issues in past but haven’t done anything to address. Property manager was initially responsive but after first two dealings with him he was too busy to get on phone with us to discuss any issues. We spent $8000 for 2 weeks at this place but isn’t worth half that. We’ve stayed in Harpswell 3 times in last few years at rentals of comparable cost and this was by far the worst. Felt like owners live there. Way to many personal belongings left in house. Very disappointed! They refunded us $500 which is a joke for the amount of problems we had. Would not recommend! ##### Mitchell S.
