About this property
Ocean Watch - Relax and let the ocean sweep you away at this charming retreat
Nestled right on the water’s edge, this charming one-bedroom cottage is the perfect retreat for someone seeking peaceful solitude or a romantic escape for two. Start your mornings by sipping coffee on the covered deck while soaking in the breathtaking sunrise, or take in the view from the living room window or the peaceful bench perched near the rocky shore.
Ocean Watch is located next to the owner’s vacation home and is thoughtfully positioned to ensure your privacy. Guests will have access to a small, secluded rocky beach ideal for launching a kayak, collecting seashells and stones, or simply enjoying a picnic while watching the lobster boats pass by, hauling their daily catch.
For kayaking enthusiasts, Ocean Watch offers a prime location to explore nearby Lowell’s Cove, Ragged Pond, Elm Island, or venture under the iconic Cribstone Bridge to paddle through the sparkling waters of Harpswell Sound.
Conveniently within walking distance, you’ll find the historic Cribstone Bridge, H2Outfitters kayak rentals, and local seafood restaurants where you can savor the freshest catch of the day. Inside the cottage, you’ll find a clean, cozy space with everything you need for a memorable stay, including a lobster pot for those who want to try their hand at cooking up a local delicacy.
With so many activities right at your doorstep, Ocean Watch promises a truly unforgettable vacation experience.
Pets are welcome at Ocean Watch (a non-refundable pet fee applies). More than one dog requires permission from host. If booking on VRBO click on "Travelers" box and check box by "I am traveling with pets."
Ocean Watch does not have a washer and dryer, but there is a laundromat in Brunswick, just 15-20min away.
