Unik strandupplevelse

Denna bostad ligger ovanför den enda solkraftsdrivna, fungerande vattnet, hummerkaffan, och erbjuder dig en unik upplevelse. Inte bara kommer du att se lobstermen som laddar sin fångst i slutet av dagen, du kommer också att ha möjlighet att vara en del av dagens aktiviteter vid kajen.

Tillgång till vatten finns också för mindre båtar och kajaker. Medan du kan paddla genom Reversing Falls i Basin Cove. Harpswell har en stenig kustlinje som ger tidpoler för utforskning. Det finns vikar och stränder för att koppla av och njuta av naturens skönhet. Inom 2 miles finns två olika skaldjurrestauranger som erbjuder god mat och utsikt över Casco Bay. ELLER ta med din fiskestång och ta din egen fiskrätt. Du kan kasta din linje från hamnen eller från din båt. Ja, ta med dig din båt!

A fun and educational stay at the Lobster Pound

The home was spacious and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed the sights and sounds of the working harbor and reversing falls right from the back deck of the house. We gained a real appreciation for the hard work watermen put in each day. From bait harvest to lobster distribution, and impressive boat handling, you get to see it all. Away from the Lobster Pound, there were plenty of nice hiking trails nearby. We also did not go hungry with the fun lunch and dinner spots throughout Harpswell (and its islands) and nearby Brunswick. Lastly, the friendly sunset cruise with Capt. Jim topped it all off. We lucked into a ride on the tuna boat, and had great conversation, gawked at seals and waterfowl, and enjoyed our wine and cheese until sunset.

An authentic Maine experience

I want to start off by saying that Jim and Sarah are absolutely the most sweet and welcoming hosts you could ask for, true hospitality! If you are looking for an unforgettable experience on the coast of Maine, and really want to see the workings of a lobster wharf, this is the place for you! Not only is it in a gorgeous location but it’s definitely interesting to learn about the lobstering and fishing community. My husband and our dog and two friends from Florida stayed here during the week of Fourth of July and got to see fireworks from the back of a lobster boat, (wow!) we also got to see them bring in an almost 500 pound tuna! If you’re a fisherman and love the ocean, this is the ideal location. It’s also convenient to so many things, grocery stores, shopping, local art galleries, hiking, etc. We felt truly welcome and had such a great week. Harpswell is gorgeous and inspiring, thank you again Jim and Sarah!

Amazing start to our Maine Trip!!

We loved our stay at Sara & Jim’s house. The experience I felt was the true Maine. We were able to see lobster boats come & go. Harpswell had plenty of beautiful trails to explore. My kids loved exploring the tide pools & exploring the beaches. We traveled to Portland, Kittery Point, Old orchard beach, Freeport, Boothbay& etc. we were able to get to most places within a hour or a little longer. We bought fresh lobsters several nights from Sara. We were able to go on a boat ride & see the beautiful coast line! The house was very spacious & had everything we needed, We are already starting to plan our next trip because we miss it already. A great place all around!!

Beautiful Water View and Lobsters!

Plenty of open space, bedrooms and bathrooms for a group of family and friends. The beds are very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked including everything you need to cook up lobster you can get right there at the dock below the rental apartment. The views of the harbor from the upper deck right off the living room and bedrooms were gorgeous. We enjoyed watching the fishing and lobster boats come and go. Our group loved the lobster boat ride around the area by Capt. Jim. Harpswell is a great location in ME, removed from the crowds but still close enough to several beaches and points of interest. We loved the Botanical Garden and giant wooden troll sculptures on this trip.

Awesome family vacation

This is such a unique property - beautiful and educational! We really enjoyed watching the lobster boats come and in and out each day. We learned so much from Captain Jim and his crew - they were great at answering ALL of our many questions about everything lobster/fishing/boats/Maine! The property is well kept and clean. Lots of beds and room for families. This was a great place to disconnect and relax. The boat ride was a highlight of our trip - something our kids will never forget!

Very clean house and beautiful view

Stayed a week over 4th of July. The house was very clean and relaxing. Lots of comfy seating, nice deck overlooking the water and cove, spacious living area and huge master bedroom. Bathrooms and kitchen well equipped. So much closet and storage space everywhere, we didn’t need it but would be handy. Loved having washer and dryer. Dishwasher would be nice but we didn’t really use a lot of dishes due to eating out or carrying food in. I recommend bringing bottled water. Fishing was available on the wharf and dock, but no luck for us. Best bet is to fish off a boat or drive over to the end of Grist Mill Lane where there’s a small parking lot. Fishing was good for striped bass during reversing falls. Pick up a local fishing license and rules. One bass per person a day. Note for accessibility: several steps at entry to house. Master bath has sit-in shower. Steep paved slope walking down from the house to wharf area. The whole house is one level indoors, no steps to deck or on deck. As for noise, we slept through any wharf noise there was in the mornings. There are a lot of trucks parked nearby during work, but you have a personal spot at the entry to the house. The men and women working were quiet. Only noise to note was fireworks night on the cove, so understandable. We really enjoyed them from the deck. You can buy fresh lobster at the far left end of the wharf. It was delicious!

Please Know What A Working Lobster Place Is Before You Book

Not relaxing. The property had beautiful views of a reversing current and offered stunning sunrise / sunset photos. But know that there is a constant hum of diesel engine(s); whether that be from the boats or someone's pickup. The property offered a lot of space for the money. There was a lot of room for my family of 4. (If only the TV worked better.) The TV / Cable interface was constantly buffering. The interface was that one we get in other rentals we've had. Needless to say, it also difficult to use. One bedroom was unusable with furniture stored / stacked. We got there after checkin and the cleaning lady was still there. She told us that she forgot that she needed to clean this property. She didn't do a very good job since we had to get swiffer & Lysol and clean up. Given this was a working lobster pound, we expected the sounds of diesel motors (boats & pickups) at earlier hours of the morning. Keep in mind that noise is constant. We also expected there would be little free outdoor space for our kids to play. We were correct. What we didn't expect was that there would be a fishy smell in the Master Bath & Dryer. Perhaps due to fish or bait being stored under our quarters. We also didn't expect the metal screeching sounds of someone cutting up a metal cooler with a circular saw. Thanks a lot, whoever you were.

Relaxing

Our family of 7 had a lovely stay at Potts Harbor. The ability to come together is rare so we appreciated the opportunity to rent this apartment relatively later in the reservation season. As other reviewers have said, the sunset cruise with Jim and Sue was the highlight. Being able to get out on the water on a gorgeous night for a private tour of the bay is unparalleled. Having fresh lobster at one’s fingertips is also a real plus! Be sure to ask Jim and Sara to use their outdoor lobster cooker. Makes a huge difference as we initially cooked the lobsters in a lobster pot on the stove top. This meant not only heating up the apartment, but also smelling it up. Jim and Sara were accommodating, and met us numerous times to purchase lobster for dinner. The apartment is basic. Nothing fancy. It could use a little TLC. For the heat of the summer, be aware that the one a/c unit in the living room does not extend all the way down to the bedrooms, especially the main bedroom. There is a window fan in the main bedroom, but the night air doesn’t really cool off until later in the night. For light sleepers, be aware that this is a working lobster pound; therefore lobstermen start arriving as early as 4 am. The only bedroom affected is the main one but we just closed the window by the bed. In addition, be aware that cell service is weak at the end of the peninsula where Potts Harbor is located, but WiFi is fine. Good way to disconnect from work! All in all, a good stay!

Jim was very responsive and his sunset boat cruise was a highlight as well as the fresh lobsters straight from his boat. Easy access to many beautiful spots. With a little more maintenance, it would be a 5 star spot.

Maine home away from home

We absolutely loved our stay at Potts Harbor Lobster wharf! The home was nice and comfortable. All the things you could want for a stay at home were provided. We felt very welcomed not only by the Merrimans but by every person at the wharf that we met and talked to. It was really neat to see a piece of Maine life from the view of the lobstermen. The boat ride was great, got to see seals. Even though it was a working wharf we never were bothered by noise. Ocean/seafood smells were very tolerable, even for those with sensitive noses. Everyone in the area was wonderful and friendly to us. There is a great Community Store down the street with basics, reasonable fuel and food. Also a really nice icecream stand with basic food as well. Lots of water to be explored in the area, some additional restaurants and a marina are close by. Really all you need for a week away to enjoy the true Maine experience! Add the Merriman's place to your list - you won't be disappointed!

Wonderful Stay!

We had a lovely stay at the property. The sunset cruise is a must!! The owners are really wonderful. If you’re a Seaglass collector, check the cove when the tide goes out. We found a ton. Getting fresh lobster from the Merryman‘s is definitely a bonus. We had a really great time.

Unforgettable

House and lobster wharf as described. Only complaint is you have an obstructed view with the deck railing. Suggest a thinner rail or higher chairs. Could access the rocky beach at the wharf when the tide was out. Unreal tides, we had never experienced anything like it. Or there is public access to the shore from a sidestreet. Many hiking trails nearby, and an ice cream shop within a few miles. Jim accommodated us on an evening cruise although he works from sunup to sundown daily on the boats. Thank you Sue for being our tour guide. Saw seals and porpoises, beautiful sunset. This was a relaxing experience with amazing views and fresh seafood. Unforgettable first trip to Maine

Our family enjoyed staying in Jim and Sara’s house. The location is perfect for either just watching fishing boats from the deck or exploring hiking trails/beaches in the area. Thank you Ashley for the fishing tips of how to catch strippers. We also had a wonderful time during the evening cruise!

Unique property

We had a great stay in Harpswell. The property is unique in that it is overlooking the wharf, but that is what made it special. We loved watching the lobster boats come in and learning about the industry. The highlight of the trip was going out on the boat and seeing the seals. Jim & Sara are great. I highly recommend this house if you are looking for something different.

Great getaway

We had a great experience staying at this property. After being couped up, this was the covid getaway that we needed. The house is very warm, clean, and welcoming. We very much appreciate the quick communication, the boat ride and the opportunity to purchase lobsters. We had some success fishing right from their wharf. The saltwater air and the view from the deck/balcony brings a very calming effect. We also had a chance to view the unloading of lobsters from their boats. Harpswell is very friendly with plenty of opportunities to tour coves and the nature preserves. We would definitely add Harpswell and this property as a return vacation.

Om värden

Sara Merryman är värd

Värdens profilbild
Hello,
My name is Jim Merryman. I have been hauling traps since the ripe ol' age of 8. I started with a rowing skiff, determined to make my own way. Now I'm a commercial fisherman with 800 traps and fish them year round. Lobsters are my life.
I don't just catch them. I deliver them to fine restaurants, markets, and customers who drop by the wharf. I believe in our product, Maine lobster, and strive to make it affordable to any and all who are interested.

Varför värden valde detta boende

I bought this property from a fishing family in 2010. It's protected location is ideal for the boats and the fishermen. I sold a covenant to the State of Maine protecting this property and forever keeping a commercial working waterfront. In doing so, I have helped preserve and protect a piece of the fishing industry for future generations.

Vad som gör detta boende unikt

The wharf came complete with a house that I didn't need. I decided to offer it as a vacation rental for anyone who wanted a real and unique Maine experience. By staying here you are witness to the lobster industry and all of the hard working people that make the industry successful. You have the opportunity to enjoy lobsters fresh off the boat while admiring the view from the deck.
We here at Potts Harbor Lobster and Reversing Falls have worked hard to make the house as comfortable as possible for a relaxing and enjoyable visit.
Come. Stay. Relax...Return.
