Perfect family getaway
The house checked all the boxes! Oceanfront view, water access to swim, play, and fish, a well-stocked kitchen, and double bunks in the tv room that were the perfect hangout space for the boys. There were even pamphlets with local destinations and gems of Harpswell.

Lobster boat haven
Our family has been coming to Maine for vacations for 15 years now. We travel up and down the coast staying on the ocean in different locations. This is one of our favorites. The location is perfect and we always enjoy watching the lobster boats. We could see Orr and Bailey’s island from our house. Good shopping in Freeport was a bonus for our kids school shopping. We met the owner Dustin who was very nice and very accommodating. Friendly neighborhood was a plus. Harpswell is a great vacation spot.

Pretty view, accommodates our family
We had a great time, the area is great and the neighborhood is nice. Particularly special for the 4 year old grandson is the little beach on the property, the big yard, and the nice bedroom for him. Stovers Point to walk to is also a favorite. The house is pretty with big windows.

The property was as described and well stocked. Plenty of space for everyone and the view was awesome! We saw a family of loons, dolphins, ducks and 2 Bald eagles along with watching the activity of the lobster boats. Thank you for opening your home.

Just Perfect!
What a great place for our family to spend a week together. Fully equipped kitchen and large dining table facilitated dinners and conversation for our entire family who now are only all together a few times a year. The living room area is great for games or reading and the deck overlooking the water was popular all day long. Our grandchildren especially liked the bunk beds. This is a summer home that is perfect if you just want to stay in place, but also perfectly situated to partake in the many outdoor activities that mid-coast Maine has to offer. Our only regret is that it took us so long to discover it

Thankful for this Maine getaway
A tucked away little gem of a house. You are greeted with views everywhere you turn and there is plenty of space for everyone to stretch out. We cooked, relaxed, explored, and thoroughly enjoyed all of the comforts this house provides. We definitely hope to return!

Three sisters by the sea
I took my two sisters here for their birthday. They are in their sixties and I am seventy. We brought our little dogs. We absolutely loved our stay. We were thrilled with this beautiful home by the sea. We hope to go back. We have been going to the Maine Coast for years and this turned out to be one of our favorite places we have stayed. The view of the water right from the living room can’t be surpassed!

Beautiful location!
What a wonderful time we had at the house. It was the perfect setting for us to celebrate my Mom‘s 80th birthday. There was plenty of room for our whole family. We loved love large kitchen. The house was perfect for entertaining. The views were spectacular with the little private beach in front and Stover’s Point beach right down the street to explore. We also had a chance to explore the local hiking/walking trails, which were easy to access and beautiful. We would definitely love to come back for another adventure.

Incredible views and a lovely house
We had a great stay at this lovely house! Quintessential coastal Maine property with a deck that had incredible views across the sound and into Casco Bay. It was close to plenty of food options, so we never had to go into town (Brunswick) and had a great kitchen for the many nights that we at in. We would definitely stay here again.

great for toddler and dogs
Comfortable place to stay with one toddler and two dogs. rocky beach on property and nearby tide pool areas were a hit. Nicely stocked and decorated. Good view from the living area and porch. Pretty grassy yard with big oak tree. (I do wish someone would weed the gardens that were clearly once well tended. Bittersweet moving in!)

We enjoyed our week at your property! It was very relaxing and the view was stunning! As a family that is familiar with Maine- born in Farmington, my parents had a B&B in Wiscasset, and yearly trips I new it wouldn't disappoint! Glad we got to share this little slice of heaven with our dear friends as well! From our kids searching for shells below the house and many walks to Stover's Point we know we found a place we'll visit again! Until then we'll always think of "the way life should be!"

The perfect Maine respite
What an incredible place! We were in Maine for a very quick weekend for our fathers memorial. Some of us came from quite a distance and though we only had a few days, we were so pleased to stay in such a lovely place right on the ocean. Dustin was a great communicator. He went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. He even found a baby gate for the basement stairs. The home was clean, beds comfortable and kitchen had everything we needed. The yard was so pretty, with thoughtful plantings. We enjoyed the fire pit in the evenings and the deck overlooking the water was spectacular. The perfect spot for morning coffee. We spent time on the private beach, skipping stones and looking through the seaweed for little creatures when the tide was out. We were visited by seals every morning. Really…everything about this home was special.It was the perfect place to be together. Thank you Dustin.

A lovely, remote location for a waterfront getaway
This place was a nice spot on the water where there are very few other places available for rent. We had some issues with the generator and with the plumbing, but otherwise it was uneventful. The owner and their assistant were very responsive. All in all it was a positive experience and I’d stay here again.

The house was so comfortable and the view just said it all . I took a picture on the deck in the early morning (Dustin’s suggestion with coffee) and when asked how my vacation was I show the picture and nothing else needs to be said . Can’t wait to return.

Beautiful property in a great location
This home and property was the perfect place for our family and friends vacation this June. The accommodations were as advertised, which I’ve found often isn’t the case. The house has stunning views from almost every room. The yard is also fabulous, with garden beds and beautiful trees overlooking the water. We enjoyed playing cornhole, reading under the big oak and sitting around the firepit watching the sun go down. The owner, Dustin, was very response to questions or issues. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels for both bathing and swimming. We had a group of 9 in our party, and the house accommodated us well. We love to cook on vacation. The kitchen was spacious but could have used more of everything (bowls, cooking utensils, pans of varying kinds, glasses, etc.). Especially with how large our group was we ended up running the dishwasher often. We would absolutely rent this home again! Our only negative comment would be the water pressure in the home is terrible. It rendered the upstairs shower all but useless. I believe that there is a pressure tank that needed to be replaced which was being done after we left. If that gets replaced it should take care of that issue. Otherwise this was a fabulous rental experience in a perfect setting.
