About this property

Perfect family vacation home with beautiful views and great outdoor space

This lovely modern home sits at the water's edge of Ewin Narrows and offers water views from every room. If boating, kayaking, fishing, swimming or just dangling your feet in the water from a private dock sound like the ideal vacation activities, Dockside is for you. While located in a quiet neighborhood, its central location in Harpswell provides access to the area attractions of Orr's Island, Bailey Island, and Harpswell Neck. Dockside is just 10 minutes from Brunswick for shopping, cinemas or that all-important pizza.

Inside you'll find a large kitchen, a dining table that seats six people, a comfy living room with a smart TV, and a bedroom with a full bed. Upstairs are two more bedrooms including the primary bedroom with a king bed and adjoining full bathroom. The third bedroom has a queen bed and two twin beds and next to this bedroom is another full bathroom. Dockside sleeps 6 comfortably.

Venture outside to play on the large sunny lawn, grill or bask in the sun on the deck, or nap in the shade on the porch. Enjoy your morning coffee sitting on the dock listening to the ocean lapping gently at the pilings. The small beach area by the dock is a great place to explore or wade in the water or swim from on hot summer days! Michael & Barbara said: "Wonderful rental in pristine condition inside and out with large dock on calm waterway. Perfect for adults and children. Great for Bowdoin alumni as only 6 miles from campus."

Dogs are welcome at Dockside (a non-refundable pet fee applies).

Dockside review
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our 2nd year at Dockside. I used the main floor bedroom and bathroom as I can't do stairs easily. The towel bar was still broken/unusable still--- not yet fixed from last year?!?Why---- should be an easy fix!

Dockside - you stole our hearts
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Simply awesome. The house is just lovely. It is so comfortable and welcoming. We loved sitting in the front porch as it rained and had great conversation. No electronics, just peace and quiet. The property is great for playing yard games, relaxing, or catching the last bit of sunshine.

Great Property in Harpswell, ME
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Love this property...this was the second time we have stayed there. The view is fantastic and the dock large and makes access to the water easy. Only suggestion is may want to think about replacing the beds in the near future; we used the king, the queen and the full size and all thought they were somewhat uncomfortable. Other than that, everything was great!

Meet me on the dock!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This lovely property was nicely situated with a private dock that we enjoyed immensely. Our fellow travelers bailed out on us at the last minute so really it was much too big for just the two of us,but, it was their loss. Love doing business with Mainstay Vacations and would HIGHLY recommend them. Their service is above average and they truly do everything they can to ensure you have a pleasant stay. This is my second time using them and I wouldn’t hesitate to do it again.
