About this property

Osprey's Nest. Waterfront unit with boat and kayak access. Pet Friendly!

Sitting 10 ft from the water's edge, this 1 bedroom 2nd floor unit has beautiful views of the working waterfront community of Cundy's Harbor. This beautifully located unit is the full second floor of a two unit property. The unit has its own outside stairway to the entry door on the 2nd floor. With its 10 x 25 foot wrap around deck, you can relax in a deck chair or eat dinner and play games at the table provided.

Launch your Kayak from the front yard and explore the rocky shore that surrounds the edge of the yard. There is also public boat ramp just moments away. With the changing of the tides the shoreline may look different each day. Watch for wildlife, seals, eagles and a variety of birds make the Maine coast their home in the summer.

With an open floorplan this unit is cozy and welcoming. Two large couches and a recliner make the area comfy for watching the 65 inch smart screen TV, The fully stocked galley kitchen has full size appliances, dishes and utensils, including a coffee maker, air fryer, 2 slice toaster and blender. The bedroom has a queen bed, the bathroom has a single sink and shower, no tub.

Located in the small community of Cundy's Harbor, take a walk around the village, explore the working waterfront community and see lobsters being brought in at the end of the day. Take a drive and see all that Harpswell has to offer from gift shops, restaurants, sailing excursions, free summer concerts, to candy and ice cream shops. Fun Fact: the town of Harpswell has 216 miles of coastline! That is a lot to explore.

Mid coast vacation

The views and the actual inside of the property were very nice other than possibly some screen replacements as there was a night when a lot of bugs(noseeums?) got in and gathered around the lighting. The exterior of the property could use a bit of a tidying up but other than that a great place to stay. Bill, who owned the property and lives next door was extremely accommodating and helpful, especially with the challenge and disappointment of having to leave a day early due to the threat of Hurricane Lee. Overall a very nice stay and property.

A little slice of heaven.

From the moment we pulled into the drive we fell in love with this little quaint cabin. It is right on the water and wonderfull views from all over. The cabin was spanky clean in every aspect, with a well stocked kitchen. My only suggestion would maybe put a large umbrella on the deck but I can understand that ir could be a problem if people left it up while gone. I can promise you we will be bck next year!

Keep Maine Thing The Maine Thing

When we pulled up and realized just how close to the water we were a feeling of calm and serenity poured over us. This is a very special property and we will never forget it. From the Eagles and cranes flying overhead to the amazing seafood we cooked from a half-mile away everything was perfect. The property manager was wonderful to speak to and gave us some history of area which just served to draw us in more. The view, the air, the wild life, the sounds of music in the distance and friendly people will make this a return destination for us.

Incredible view from two sides of the duplex. The duplex was pretty clean could use some deep cleaning and window replacement. Some windows were replaced and some not. The older windows have discolored and hard to see out of.Management team was very responsive with a small issue they came right over.We were unfortunately there during some heavy construction and remodeling that we were not notified about. Backhoe and dump trucks. Oh the noise and dust. The grounds could use some picking up and some landscaping.Overall we enjoyed our stay; wish it would have been without construction.

Lovely, quiet getaway

This is a very cute, very clean property. The pictures are accurate and give a sense of what awaits. Arrival was easy and the property was sparkling clean. This is an older property renovated nicely, but do expect some odd placements of power outlets, etc. that comes with an older home. The A/C worked well after about 20 minutes to catch up if it's warm outside and when the weather is pleasant, open the windows and enjoy the smells and sounds! We enjoyed the solitude, but do be aware the closest consistent shopping, etc. is about 15 minutes away via a very picturesque drive. Highly recommend this property!

Our favorite spot

This is our 3rd year in a row at this cottage, the first under a new owner and it is still our favorite spot. We love the view, I love launching a kayak right there and it’s convenient to our favorite mid-coast spots.

Comfortable, clean, amazing views,

The Stocks found the perfect setting and turned it into the perfect place for a peaceful, soul nourishing getaway. The home itself is cozy, clean, comfortably furnished, and has a great bed, well stocked kitchen. The deck overlooks the bay. Sound is limited to the lapping of water, birds and an occasional lobster boat. Jean is a great host She communicates helpfully and promptly.

Return To Osprey's Nest Even Better This Time

We love Maine and have found this property to love. The owners have done some remodeling inside since our visit two years ago. An inner wall and closet have been removed and now there are views to the water from every spot in the unit! Love it! We enjoy sitting on the deck every morning with coffee and every evening with dinner. Harpswell is a great location for exploring other spots in Maine such as Portland, Owls Head, Camden, Hallowell, Gardiner. Communication with Jean is always easy. She is quick to respond if you have questions or concerns even during the booking process. We'll be back - again!
