Maine Beach House!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: We loved the house, it is exactly as described. The views are incredible and our kids loved going down to the water at low tide. We have been coming to Harpswell for years - it is such a magical place! We had an issue where the washing machine ruined some of our clothes and would have liked a heads up that it could have happened, but other than that we had no issues.

relaxing ocean cottage

My family and I enjoyed exploring Harpswell and getting to know Maine's beautiful mid-coast. The cottage has stairs that lead directly to a quiet, protected beach, where we found sand dollars and hermit crabs. The house is clean and comfortable.

Stay with a View

Rating Details: The property manager was very 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: We chose this home for the location and it was absolutely gorgeous on the water. We enjoyed that so much. The home was in a nice quiet area and had everything we needed for our stay. Communication was friendly with rental agency, very accommodating. The home does not have a/c, temps were good for our week, it did get a little warm which could be a issue for some during hotter days. We enjoyed our trip to Maine and look forward to visiting again.

Very relaxing with great biews

What a wonderful location with great views. Very peaceful and relaxing. The house is perfect for any size family. You are far enough away from everything to feel secluded, but close enough to everything in Brunswick. Plenty of food options all around on the islands or in town. The views from the deck and beach are amazing. We love Maine, and this has been one of our favorite locations so far. - Brandon, Lauren, and Brooks-Myrtle Beach,SC

We love this place!

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: This home has the most picturesque setting. We woke up in the mornings and went kayaking almost every day (kayaks ours). Even though it was a rainy week, we loved sitting inside and watching the ocean and then outside on the deck whenever possible. The grill works great and make the nights we wanted to cook easy. The kitchen is very well stocked for a rental. A lovely week! Do be sure to bring your own water as the listing says. That's the only downside but it's really not a big deal and there is always a little water at the house to start you off.

Cove Side Vaccination

My family and I loved the cottage and the decks overlooking the water. My grandson really enjoyed swimming in the ocean. The layout of the house was great. The kitchen was well stocked with all we needed to cook and eat with. The views from the living room and master bedroom were amazing! My husband was happy there was an outdoor grill. We had a wonderful time and look forward to visiting Harpswell again next year.

Not senior friendly

Property needs an overall update. Best part of the property was the view. No firepit, curb appeal was nonexistent, washer/dryer down treacherous stairs in the basement, couches need replaced/cleaned. The whole thing needs some huge TLC

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was clean and ready for us when we arrived. It was so nice to have the walking beach there at low tide. We observed the hermit crabs and enjoyed the water. We were disappointed that the Adirondack chairs were all broken, but made do with the chairs on the level above.One point though: beware of the step going into the back bedroom. It’s an accident waiting to happen. Thanks for another great stay.

Maine Waterfront Getaway

We would rent here again. The property has fabulous vistas from MBR and LR, and has a beach on this inlet cove. Bring water shoes since it is a little rocky. During our early July stay the nights were cool and there was no need for AC, which is missing in a lot of Maine rentals including this one, but they've got fans which we did not need to use. The kitchen is very well appointed, everything that you need to cook, two coffee pots, regular drip and pods, lobster steamer. (But easier to go to Erikas which is a few miles down the road). Plenty of decks to sit out and enjoy the sun and ocean breezes. The cove is shallow and protected. The property is cozy and well maintained. Master KIng Bed was very comfortable and great views and sunsets from bed!! TVs upstairs and downstairs. Location is great, about 20 minutes to Brunswick. The Vrbo listing does not show how close the neighbors' homes are, do not expect isolation. This rental would be great for family with kids since water is shallow until you get out pretty far. Watch for ants. Couch needs to be recovered. Otherwise no issues. It has washer and dryer which we did not need to use. Internet service was great. Highly recommend the linen service-came with plenty of towels and uber crisp clean linens. Wish we had a longer stay - I did not want to leave!!! --Catherine from Maryland

Found lacking.

The house itself is a nice house. What I found unsatisfactory was the fact that after I made the final payment and in the instructions for staying was the fact that we would have to buy our own paper products if needed. What was left at the house was 1-ply - that’s gross - this house is renting out at a decent rate where the owner could have a supply of decent paper products. Also, we may need to buy drinking water?- we did, but honestly pay for a Culligan service so that’s ready to go - we shouldn’t need to check any website everyday to see if the water is ok to drink. We had to make our own beds when we got there, no towels in the bathroom, that should have been ready to go. Then I went down to do laundry and there were two dead mice in front of the dryer. One was under the basket, I left him under the basket and moved the other one to the side on top of a paper towel that I hoped you would spot. Used dryer sheets on the floor and shelf. The cleaner should have noticed that stuff and cleaned it up. I think the paper products and water issue, should be divulged in the initial description, so we can have a choice in whether we want to do that or not. I didn’t appreciate not knowing that until the time I was given the address.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful time. Had a couple issues though. Upstairs bathroom smelled, found the tub mat thrown in the closet two days later which was the problem of the stench. Also queen size bed in room next to bathroom was found to have a broken frame. Sofas need to be replaced, were very uncomfortable and outdated
