About this property
Morningside. Waterfront home with seasonal dock and float, Pet friendly!
****PLEASE NOTE! renovations are currently being done at Morningside to make your stay even more special! New Interior pictures will be available in late spring 2026!*****
Located on Gun Point Road in picturesque Harpswell, set back from the bustle of summer traffic, "Morningside" awaits your vacationing family. Located 25' from the water's edge it is the perfect refuge for those looking to get away for vacation.
Whether it is the quiet serenity of a morning sunrise, evening moon rise, or sitting on the house deck viewing bald eagles, ospreys, seals, loons, or sea gulls the view is always in tune with mother nature. Morningside has large interior windows from the ground floor and 2nd floor "OPEN LOFT". These eastern windows give every area of the home great views of the inlets and coves of Quahog Bay.
At Morningside you will find the ground floor with a full sized bathroom , fully stocked kitchen, a bedroom (queen bed), a dining area table for 6, and a living room area with furniture that just invites comfort and relaxation.
Upstairs you will find TWO OPEN LOFT bedrooms. PLEASE NOTE: You must walk through the 1st bedroom to access the Primary Bedroom. A portable room divider is provided for "sight" privacy between the two bedrooms. At the top of the stairs you will find the 1st bedroom with a Queen bed.. This room faces directly east allowing guests to watch the sunrise from the comfort of their room.
Continue through the 1st bedroom into the Primary Bedroom Loft Area. This Primary Bedroom Area offers a king size bed and great views from every window. The Primary Bedroom area also offers a door leading out onto a balcony. Here guests may step out and listen to the birds in the morning or watch the stars at night.
Between these two open-loft bedrooms is a beautiful, full-sized bathroom. All bed linens and towels are provided.
"Morningside's" kitchen has a dishwasher, toaster oven, microwave, Keurig and drip coffee makers. Outside you will find a propane grill to cook on. The laundry room has a stackable washer and dryer. Wi-Fi and cable TV with HBO are also available.
Views and amenities make Morningside inviting, but we also offer swimming, fishing and kayaking right from your own private dock. Brand new dock is available from Memorial Day until fall. Fish for stripers, mackerel, or bay pollack from the dock. Bring your own kayak or rent them, contact info below. Explore the islands and inlets around Gun Point Cove, Quahog Bay, or nearby Cundy's Harbor. Fun fact: Harpswell has 216 miles of coastline, that is a lot to explore! Harpswell also offers a wonderful selection of hiking trails. Check them out at https://hhltmaine.org/get-outdoors/.
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.
Feel like a break from the coast? Freeport's famous LL Bean and a variety of outlet stores are less than 30 minutes away. Brunswick, only 20 minutes away, is home to Maine State Music Theatre, Bowdoin College with its museums, as well as a thriving downtown area with shops and restaurants. We also have 4 local golf courses.
Your pets are welcome to join you for an additional fee. We welcome up to two dogs under 50 lbs for a charge of $40.00 per PET per DAY, please advise at booking if your pet(s) will be joining you.
We recommend a car for your stay here in Harpswell, Morningside is located 20 minutes from major grocery stores and the town of Brunswick. We hope you will be able to enjoy exploring all the Maine coast has to offer.
Please note, there will be a generator provided at the home, if needed.
If you will be flying to Maine, we recommend Portland International Jetport (PWM). If assistance is needed for varying flight arrivals of your party, Safe Harbour Property Management offers concierge rides to and from PWM, please inquire.
