About this property

Shady Potts Point Cottage Cooled by Ocean Breezes

Quaint, old fashioned and lovely cottage, shaded by huge trees and cooled by off-shore breezes in historic Potts Point. Start the day with a cup of coffee while curled up on the glassed-in side porch with a book, end the day watching the sunset over the water from the front porch. Wander to the beach or buy lobsters straight off the boat at Erica's at the Dolphin Marina. Take in the lobster boat races after a short walk to Pott's Point. Enjoy farmers markets, restaurants and the Maine State Music Theater in Brunswick and then come home to the peace of Harpswell.

We have been renting for a few years and hope to rent for many more! A getaway this mom needed - my kids could bike and explore the rocky beach down the street while I sat on the porch and lazily watched the world go by. Highly recommend!

Great porch and sun room. TV doesn't have comfortable chairs for viewing but we weren't there for TV. Nice neighborhood for walking. Close to some good lobster rolls.

Another wonderful summer vacation in Harpswell and our fourth stay at Molly's. We especially appreciated the Roku upgrade this year so we could watch the World Cup! (Though we still prefer our unplugged life on the porch and around the Point.)

Comfortable vintage-style cottage with fully appointed kitchen and cabinet of staples and condiments. Delightful open porch and also closed-in sun room, both with gorgeous view. Sleeps many, though we were only two and used master bedroom on first floor. Location perfect for walking and exploring beaches and land preserves. Host very easy to communicate with. We had a lovely stay!

This was our family’s second stay at Molly’s sweet cottage. It has been maintained very well over its many years, and provides the perfect setting for a weeklong getaway in one of our favorite places. We would love to return again, soon!

Beautiful Maine Stay

This cottage was very cozy and was in a great spot for quiet, relaxing walks to the ocean. It was very clean, and had everything we needed as we were only there for a quick day and a half. The only downside was the beds were not made and we had to make them ourselves which was annoying since it was late when we got to the house.

Beautiful location

This house is located in a perfect spot for ocean views and cool breezes. Our vacation was cut short unfortunately one of our dogs became very ill and we had to rush home after a couple of days. Hopefully, we’ll be able to come back and visit.

The charm of this historical home can't be beat!

This is our fifth stay at the "Toy House," as my girls dubbed this Potts Point gem several years ago. We keep coming back for the comfort and at-ease-ness we feel here, and how close it is to all the fun Harpswell has to offer! Thank you, Molly and family, for sharing your home with us!
