Private and quiet

We loved being able to at least partially see the ocean. The home is on a cul-de-sac in a quiet neighborhood. It was a lovely getaway from the hustle and bustle! The decor was cute and fit the cottage perfectly.

Absolutely charming

We loved this cottage! It was so quaint and charming and perfect for our family. The fans and the screens in the windows were lifesavers as we hit some hot weather while staying here. We loved the location, as well as the view over the water. Absolutely wonderful and we would stay here again!

Mixed Review

When we arrived the door code did not work so we had to use the key in the lockbox which was very hard to use and only one key for four adults. A local Vacasa person was supposed to come and fix all of this but never did. The house is fine...but a lack of screens on most of the windows kept us pretty warm. I thought we would have easy direct access to the water but this was not the case: had to walk about 1/3 of a mile to get to the water. Never saw anyone swimming...seemed only for fishing. Bed mattresses need an upgrade. Upstairs bedroom skylights need shades. Living room couches need an upgrade. Why a large glass table in the center of the living room when children are welcome? However: nice games for children. Good applicances. everything worked.

Cute place with great amenities and location

My only complaint is the water: very strong sulfur smell made it undrinkable and left a residue on my skin. Bring bottled water!

We all loved the cottage.

We had a great time. The view was gorgeous. With the heat wave we would have liked the screens to be in so we could open the windows. I would def come again. Great place to celebrate our daughter’s graduation from Bowdoin college.

A delightful cottage by the sea

This was a sweet, cozy place to gather two families for an event in nearby Bath and Brunswick. Wish we'd had more time to linger. Needs dishtowels, and curtains wouldn't hurt if you don't want to get up with the summer sun. Otherwise, grand.

Enchanting Cottage Any Traveler Would Enjoy

We fell in love with the Harpswell Bay Cottage the minute we stepped in the door. It was well supplied with more than ample room. For the experienced traveler that enjoys a good cottage - with well worn furniture like going to the home of a favorite relative, you will love this place. We loved the fire pit and secluded surroundings. It was a short drive to Brunswick or to Bailey Island. We will absolutely return with more family. I wish we could have stayed longer.

Home for a weekend

We had a very wonderful time while staying at this house. It was very clean and in a beautiful quiet area. The only down fall we had was we thought we were right on the water. In order to be able to get to the water you have to go to the boat launch which is a short walk from the house. The pictures posted made it look like you could walk to the water on the front lawn which is not true. Overall a beautiful area and nice home away from home.

Bright cozy cottage

The Harpswell Bay house was a wonderful accommodation for our weekend getaway. Homier and more polished than the average Maine camp, it was easy to relax and enjoy the incredible setting without having to rough it. The house had plenty of space, was well stocked, clean and comfortable. It was a real pleasure for us and two friends. Keep in mind its location on the New Meadows River means you should bring potable water for your stay. The water is naturally sulfuric but it's a small thing to work around. The outdoor shower was a nice added amenity, and there's good water access at the nearby cove. Highly recommend this house!

Picturesque, but remote

Rustic cabin, much more suitable for two than a larger group. The upstairs bedrooms are extremely noisy and are at the top of very steep stairs. Dishwasher was not working. You need to arrive with all your food because there is only very limited food within a reasonable driving distance.

Sweet Cottage with water view

We stayed four days over thanksgiving in this snug little cottage in Harpswell. Rustic, yet warm and spacious, with gorgeous light pouring views of the tidal New Meadows river. Neat as a pin, with comfy beds, (sleeps 6 comfortably) a homey, well-appointed kitchen, and shabby chic decor. As already commented on by previous renters, the cottage is not for those that are sticklers for their privacy or like to sleep late, as there are no curtains. We early risers didn’t find this a problem, in fact we saw eagles and kingfishers with our coffee. Bring binoculars!

Interesting house and pleasant stay

We enjoyed our stay in a quiet place. The view was very nice and the bald eagles perching nearby entertained us. It is true that there is little water access, and probably people should know that there isn't much of anyplace to walk; you really need to drive to a beach or water access or a walk. The house design was interesting, an enclosed wrap around of a much older tiny house. The woodworking was fabulous. There are curtains now, to correct an earlier comment, and the upkeep was acceptable. Too bad there wasn't a more appealing outdoor space and furtniture, but there are bugs, too, so it would probably go unused.

A wonderful home

We loved being here and were very grateful for the beauty, charm, and cleanliness of the house. It was very welcoming, and very true to the photos on line. Things to know: there is a wonderful separate small building for "yoga and meditation. " There is a long gorgeous wall of windows, but no curtains or blinds, so if you want nighttime privacy, you will need to problem solve! The water is very sulphuric so it will have a strong smell and you will want to bring bottled water for drinking. It is a beautiful neighborhood. If you are looking for more outdoor activity than a short walk, you will need to drive. People in the neighborhood seemed very kind, though there were not that many around! (Which, for us, was nice.)

A little pricy

I thought it was a little expensive for what we got. The outdoor furniture was not what was shown in the pictures and there weren't a lot of options for spending time outside. The toilet paper was like half and almost unusable. Sink and shower in bathroom didn't drain and shower water smelled bad. Just felt the price didn't reflect the experience. Location was pretty.
