Location: Harpswell (N,S,E&W), Portland & Casco Bay, Maine, USA (1 hour North of Portland, 30 minutes North of Freeport)
Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 6)
Imagine enjoying a hammock between the birch trees overlooking this beautiful, quiet cove... we are on the ocean - views of the ocean from every room! Western exposure makes for wonderful sunsets.
The little hidden, cocktail deck, tucked under the birch trees near the water's edge is perfect for enjoying the sounds of the ocean as the day winds to a close. Our big yard is great for family soccer games or hanging out on the tire swing. Our cozy cottage has a stone fireplace, breakfast bar and comfortable beds! This home can sleep up to six people easily.
The cottage has three floors with the master suite upstairs(queen) with sweeping views of the ocean and bathroom with shower. The ground floor has two other bedrooms (double in one room and twin with trundle in the other) which open to yard (also with ocean views.) The middle level has the kitchen, living room, dining area and 2nd bath with tub/shower and washer/dryer. We also have an outdoor shower with incredible views!
Sliding glass doors from the living room open to a deck that overlooks the yard and ocean. We often start our morning with coffee on the deck and end our days with dinner / sunsets on the deck.
The kitchen has a gas stove, microwave, coffee maker, and toaster oven. There is a full set of pots/pans(including lobster pot!) Dogs are allowed (additional security deposit.) No smoking.
There are local lobster docks where you can buy your crab or lobster fresh daily- and there are a variety of restaurants within a ten mile radius. The town of Brunswick is 15 minutes away and has a large shopping area. Freeport- with it's many outlet stores and LL Bean - is 30 minutes away. Kayaks can be rented locally and there are many islands to explore or harbor seals to follow if you have water transportation. There are also wonderful walks for humans and / or dogs nearby.
The cove is tidal with great swimming at high tide and tide pool exploring at low tide. We recommend bringing water shoes so you can explore among the rocks and shells.

Bridget,
We loved, loved, loved your place. It was so serene and lovely. Just what we needed.
My friend, Kristin, chose to leave her sheets there due to her bag being filled and also thinking it would be nice for some renters to have them if they needed sheets. We did wonder if most of your renters come by car...the only thing that we would maybe suggest is that you do throw a couple old towels/sheets there for those who are coming by plane. It was TOTALLY "doable" but did take up a bit of suitcase space.
The place was just fantastic. It was a perfect retreat. I hope to return.
Best,
Sandra

Hi Bridget
We enjoyed the stay in your vacation home very much and felt in love with the beautiful sunsets - see the wonderful picture attached. We enjoyed even the rainy days, staying by the fire place reading books.
Thank you for your hospitality.
