Coastal Retreat Near Beach w/ Ocean Views, dog friendly !
Welcome to Mariner’s Rest, a thoughtfully updated coastal home situated on a quiet lane in beautiful Harpswell!
Brand new listing for summer of 2025!! This serene ocean view home offers a loving blend of modern comfort and classic New England charm. Tucked along the rugged, island-dotted coast of Maine, Harpswell is a peaceful, unspoiled coastal town known for its winding peninsulas, quiet coves, and sweeping views of Casco Bay. It's a place where the pace slows, the salt air lingers, and the natural beauty is ever-present. Nestled in this tranquil setting is Mariner’s Rest, a newly refreshed retreat just steps from Stover’s Preserve Beach.
Step inside Mariner’s Rest and you’re greeted by a bright, open-concept main floor designed for connection and comfort. The heart of the home is a beautifully reimagined kitchen, featuring high-end appliances, sleek countertops, and thoughtful details that make cooking (or simply gathering) a joy. The kitchen also features bar-style seating for four at the counter, perfect for casual meals or keeping the cook company. Just beyond, the living room offers a cozy space to unwind with a large-screen TV, while the adjacent dining area invites long, leisurely meals after a day at the beach. Also on the main floor, you’ll find a serene bedroom offering a queen-size bed and partial ocean views, perfect for waking to the light of the sea, a quiet office space with a desk, ideal for remote work or writing postcards home, and a full bathroom with everything you need for comfort and ease. From the kitchen, step directly onto a covered deck—a perfect extension of the living space. Outfitted with comfortable outdoor seating and a grill, it's ideal for enjoying a morning coffee in the salty breeze or dining al fresco as the sun begins to set.
The second floor offers privacy and space to spread out with two more bedrooms, one featuring a king-size bed with ocean views, designed as a calming, coastal retreat., the other bedroom includes a queen-size bed, cozy and well-appointed for guests or family. (both bedrooms offer an air conditioning unit) You'll also find a second full bathroom to serve the upper level. At the heart of the second floor is the home’s bonus gem: a spacious great room with a 9-foot pool table, casual lounge seating, and a game table — the perfect place for evening fun, rainy-day relaxing, or friendly competition.
With warm natural light, stylish furnishings, and modern updates throughout, Mariner’s Rest blends comfort, function, and laid-back luxury — creating a welcoming space for your Maine coastal getaway.
One of the most unique and cherished features of Mariner’s Rest is its direct access to Stover’s Point Preserve, one of Harpswell’s most beloved coastal gems. A walking trail begins right on the property, guiding you through a quiet path that leads directly to the beach—just a few minutes on foot. Once there, you’ll step onto the beach area where calm waters meet panoramic views of Casco Bay. From the beach, take in the beauty of the iconic Cribstone Bridge, paddle out in a kayak, search for treasures along the shoreline, or simply stretch out and enjoy the sun and salt air. Whether you're heading out for a morning walk, a sunset stroll, or a day of coastal exploring, the easy, walkable connection from the home to the beach makes Mariner’s Rest truly special.
Located in the heart of Harpswell, Mariner’s Rest offers more than just a home — it offers a true taste of Maine’s coastal beauty. Harpswell is known for its stunning shoreline vistas, peaceful walking trails, quiet beach preserves, and some of the freshest lobster you'll find anywhere. Spend your days exploring hidden coves, enjoying a seaside lunch, or catching the sunset over the water. Just minutes away, you'll discover exceptional local restaurants, lobster shacks, and scenic spots perfect for kayaking or just breathing in the salt air.
For those who love to explore, Harpswell is ideally situated near some of Maine’s most iconic destinations. Head north to Brunswick, home to Bowdoin College, Maine State Music Theatre, and a vibrant downtown filled with shops, galleries, and restaurants. Just beyond lies Freeport, where L.L. Bean and countless outlet stores await. To the south and east, visit Bath, with its historic shipbuilding charm, Wiscasset for its quaint village center, or the coastal town of Boothbay Harbor, known for boat tours, gardens, and classic Maine charm.
Whether you’re here for rest, adventure, or a little of both, Mariner’s Rest is your perfect launch point for discovering the very best of Midcoast Maine. Proudly managed by Maine Coastal Connections, Harpswell, Maine.

The property was well equipped, clean and nicely furnished. The only drawback is the Harpswell is 30 minutes to major highways to other locations; Bath, Portland etc.
Had a wonderful time in this well appointed spacious and comfortable house so close to the beach. Loved our walks with the dogs to the beach especially during off leash hours before 10 am and after 5 pm. Lots of fun things to do near by and of course many places to eat fresh lobster rolls!
