  • A friend and I stayed in the small cottage in August. The view of the small harbor was gorgeous. Ron & Liz have renovated the cottage and it was most attractive and comfortable. It is furnished with everything you could want including a microwave, coffee-maker, and a gas grill outside. There is a flat-screen TV with Direct TV and a DVD player, if you must make contact with the outer world. We ate our meals at a table on the porch, overlooking the small harbor. Did I mention that the view is gorgeous? If you are into boating or fishing, this is the place to be. Ron was very helpful and had many good recommendations. We picked up some gourmet goodies from the Five Islands Market, less than half a mile away, ate lobster at the picnic tables at Five Island Lobster (maybe one mile away), and enjoyed the view of the boats there. We ended each meal on the pier with an ice cream cone. One night, with friends visiting, we had a fabulous meal at the Robinhood Free Meetinghouse. We enjoyed the wonderful chocolates and candies and whoopee pies from MainSweets. We poked around the shops in nearby Bath. My friend, a knitter, declared the yarn shop to have the best selection she had ever seen. I found the cook shop to have the best selection that I have ever seen. We visited the Maine Maritime Museum and then cruised the Kennebec looking at lighthouses. We lazed on the beach at Reid State Park, a beautiful crescent of sand surrounded by craggy rocks and pine trees. There is a toddler’s lagoon there with warmer water and no waves for the little ones. It was a wonderful two weeks and I would recommend the site to anyone who wants to get away and relax.

  • My fiancé and I stayed at the small cottage closest to the water in July. The cottage itself exceeded our expectations; everything was brand new and the layout was wonderful for the two of us and our five-year old. The cottage is conveniently located minutes from a great beach (Reid State Park), as well as one of Maine's most picturesque little wharfs, the Five Islands wharf, where we went daily to eat lobster rolls and ice cream. As an added bonus, there is a local outfit that will deliver sea kayaks right to the cottage, and boat tours that leave from the dock. Who could ask for more? In fact, the cottage was so cozy, and the view so beautiful, we decided then and there that we had to get married in that very same location. So, we are heading back to Harmon's Harbor in October for a fall wedding, with people coming from all over (including South America) to enjoy the same view and Maine hospitality. A huge thank you to Ron for all of his advice and accomodation. This is a vacation home we will return to every year.

    Guess one can say, love is in the air at Harmons Harbor Cottages. Thanks for such a lovely comment; see you in October!

  • When we dreamed of a perfect vacation home and then found it to actually exist it prompted me to write this; my first review ever. The homes are actually that nice…private, cozy, and clean…with views that are out of Maine scenery book. The day starts with coffee watching the sun glisten off the water in the cove and ends with a cocktail while counting stars from the dock. Activities included a rowboat picnic, hiking on oceanfront cliffs, fabulous fresh seafood dinners, hand-holding in the surf, and just admiring the panorama. Ron and Liz’s knowledge of the local activities and secluded spots proved immeasurable. As world travelers by profession with vast experience in home rentals, the cottage we rented from Ron and Liz will always be at the top of the list for a romantic getaway.

  • With this cottage, we had indeed found a place that would be so much more than a base from which to cruise the area. I'm a composer, and I found the sunroom perfect for continuing my work, inspired by the view, while my wife read and engaged in her endeavors. We shopped for fresh lobster and cooked a fabulous dinner each night in the beautifully equipped modern and clean kitchen. Although we claimed we didn't want TV, it was so nice to check in on the news and a couple of our favorite programs via the satellite TV installation. I have never been so comfortable in a rented cottage. This is the first time my wife and I went on a vacation to just "be there", and the cottage was a perfect place for this. The owners could not have been more relaxed and accommodating. Next time we'll bring our kayaks to take advantage of the cove by way of our dock just a few feet from the door. We booked two more dates for the coming year and have already begun to feel possessive of our "new find".

  • I stayed at this location with the previous owners every summer for over 15 years. My children loved their "Maine home" and grew up fishing and beaching. Climbing the rocks and digging for worms was a favorite past time for my children--both boys and girls. We enjoyed our trips to Boothbay Harbor and most especially the fresh lobster and together time. It was as if the world stopped and put us down in heaven!! I would recommend this experience to one and all. The peacefullness of the Harbor Homes can't be beat!
