Absolutely wonderful and we would stay here again! ##### Elizabeth H. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Lynn B. Sep 17, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Interesting house and pleasant stay We enjoyed our stay in a quiet place. The view was very nice and the bald eagles perching nearby entertained us. It is true that there is little water access, and probably people should know that there isn't much of anyplace to walk; you really need to drive to a beach or water access or a walk. The house design was interesting, an enclosed wrap around of a much older tiny house. The woodworking was fabulous. There are curtains now, to correct an earlier comment, and the upkeep was acceptable. Too bad there wasn't a more appealing outdoor space and furtniture, but there are bugs, too, so it would probably go unused. ##### Lynn B. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Cynthia P. Sep 6, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Check-in, communication #### Mixed Review When we arrived the door code did not work so we had to use the key in the lockbox which was very hard to use and only one key for four adults. A local Vacasa person was supposed to come and fix all of this but never did. The house is fine...but a lack of screens on most of the windows kept us pretty warm. I thought we would have easy direct access to the water but this was not the case: had to walk about 1/3 of a mile to get to the water. Never saw anyone swimming...seemed only for fishing. Bed mattresses need an upgrade. Upstairs bedroom skylights need shades. Living room couches need an upgrade. Why a large glass table in the center of the living room when children are welcome? However: nice games for children. Good applicances. everything worked. ##### Cynthia P. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Alexis P. Jul 8, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Overpriced, brown water, and ants! I Do NOT recommend! I do feel like the owners tried to make it homey with cute little cabin touches, but the fact is that the house needs a lot of work and it should not be rented out, especially for the high price that I paid. We ended up leaving after a few days and found a new place to stay. Why this rental is so bad: I’m going to start with what’s missing and what isn’t missing: there is no dishwasher, washing machine, or sink disposal. Something that I didn’t know before I booked and I felt like it wasn’t really clear in the preview. The good news is that there are lots of ants to keep you company while you do the dishes. They are crawling all over the sink, stove, and bathroom. The bathroom: The bathroom is the worst part! The “shower” is not a shower. It is a claw footed bathtub with a curtain around it. The curtain sticks to you as you shower, making it the most uncomfortable shower you will ever take. The shower head is short, so you definitely can’t be a tall person if you want to take a shower here. I was really excited to have a fun claw-footed bathtub, but as I filled up the bath water I noticed that the bath water was brown. I was so disgusted. So I don’t recommend drinking the water or trying to take a shower/bath. The stairs are steep and scary to walk up. There are no curtains upstairs. The downstairs bedroom door has all windows to keep you awake and give you no privacy. The only good thing: the view is pretty. Otherwise I don’t recommend this place. ##### Alexis P. Stayed 10 nights in Jun 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Linda Y. Aug 15, 2023 Disliked: Check-in, listing accuracy #### Lack of Property Maintenance This was a Vacasa managed property. Will never use another. Although cottage was clean enough, the grounds had not been maintained. Upon arrival, house was closed up tight. NO airflow so inside was really hot and gross. Ran around collecting fans to cool things off. Had trouble with Keyless entry, but got in. Dropped bags and went out. Came back after dinner and found keyless entry was no longer functioning and it took too long to get the situation dealt with. Had to be given access with the actual key to get in. Again, took too long and lock was actually never repaired during stay even though we were told it had been the next day. Next morning shower unusable due to diverter falling out of tube faucet. Texted at 8am about issue. When maintenance person finally showed at 8pm, not actually repaired. We were told we needed to just use our fingers to push it back up into the faucet which was loaded with calcium deposits. Grounds a mess. Lawn mowed, but weeds had taken over the gardens, and the grill was unusable as it had been shoved into the garden area and overtaken by the weeds. The deck by back building was unusable as well due to a large thorny rose bush growing up through decking. Due to location near wetlands, not mentioned in description, and all the recent rain, mosquitos were horrible. Couldn't sit out even during the day. I used to live in Maine and they were bad. Will not stay again. ##### Linda Y. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Lisa P.

Jul 23, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful cabin This was a beautiful cabin near the water. The interior and exterior of both beautifully kept and very authentic. The only complaints that I would have would be that the front and back door screen doors did not work very well. And the upstairs bedrooms did not have much headroom because the ceiling is quite low. But all in all it was a great place. If I were I visiting the Harpswell area in the future, I’d stay again. Something else to consider is the mosquito issue. There are lots of mosquitoes in July in this area. We really couldn’t go outside near the cabin because there were so many mosquitoes. I realize this is not the owners problem. ##### ken z. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Lauren B. Jan 27, 2023 #### A little pricy I thought it was a little expensive for what we got. The outdoor furniture was not what was shown in the pictures and there weren't a lot of options for spending time outside. The toilet paper was like half and almost unusable. Sink and shower in bathroom didn't drain and shower water smelled bad. Just felt the price didn't reflect the experience. Location was pretty. ##### Lauren B.

For the experienced traveler that enjoys a good cottage - with well worn furniture like going to the home of a favorite relative, you will love this place. We loved the fire pit and secluded surroundings. It was a short drive to Brunswick or to Bailey Island. We will absolutely return with more family. I wish we could have stayed longer. ##### Cherie B.

The only down fall we had was we thought we were right on the water. In order to be able to get to the water you have to go to the boat launch which is a short walk from the house. The pictures posted made it look like you could walk to the water on the front lawn which is not true. Overall a beautiful area and nice home away from home. ##### Jillian c.

The photos of this place were very nice online. First, this is water front, not beach front. You can’t walk in to this water or swim in it. Second, everywhere you step is mud, even through the grass. Peppered with mosquitos. Third, I got extremely hurt here, my foot went through a rotted step in their staircase. Half my leg went through a set of stairs. Just below my knee, I have a bruise bigger than my hand. Bigger than a softball. I weigh 130lbs and am 5’5”. The board was totally rotten. I did get a call from someone after leaving a note there because I was given no contact information. An apology and asked to fill out an incident report. I spent so much money on this vacation just for two nights and now I am down and out with the worst bruise I’ve had in years. Wish I could upload the picture. I will call the number back tomorrow to fill out this report.... I’m assuming it will be to cover them, not really me in anyway.. I also paid extra money just in case anything broke, damage, whatever. Kind of feel like I am the one owed money...... For how much I spent, I do not feel it was worth the pain and the location I thought would be nicer. The cottage itself is very quaint and cute. PS. They absolutely do not allow smoking on the property, anywhere. Not even outside. ##### Kati M.

Nov 25, 2018 #### Sweet Cottage with water view We stayed four days over thanksgiving in this snug little cottage in Harpswell. Rustic, yet warm and spacious, with gorgeous light pouring views of the tidal New Meadows river. Neat as a pin, with comfy beds, (sleeps 6 comfortably) a homey, well-appointed kitchen, and shabby chic decor. As already commented on by previous renters, the cottage is not for those that are sticklers for their privacy or like to sleep late, as there are no curtains. We early risers didn’t find this a problem, in fact we saw eagles and kingfishers with our coffee. Bring binoculars! ##### Anna G.

Sep 28, 2018 #### A wonderful home We loved being here and were very grateful for the beauty, charm, and cleanliness of the house. It was very welcoming, and very true to the photos on line. Things to know: there is a wonderful separate small building for "yoga and meditation. " There is a long gorgeous wall of windows, but no curtains or blinds, so if you want nighttime privacy, you will need to problem solve! The water is very sulphuric so it will have a strong smell and you will want to bring bottled water for drinking. It is a beautiful neighborhood. If you are looking for more outdoor activity than a short walk, you will need to drive. People in the neighborhood seemed very kind, though there were not that many around! (Which, for us, was nice.) ##### Katie G. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erin K. Sep 7, 2018 #### Bright cozy cottage The Harpswell Bay house was a wonderful accommodation for our weekend getaway. Homier and more polished than the average Maine camp, it was easy to relax and enjoy the incredible setting without having to rough it. The house had plenty of space, was well stocked, clean and comfortable. It was a real pleasure for us and two friends. Keep in mind its location on the New Meadows River means you should bring potable water for your stay. The water is naturally sulfuric but it's a small thing to work around. The outdoor shower was a nice added amenity, and there's good water access at the nearby cove. Highly recommend this house! ##### Erin K.
