Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
This charming home is all set for guests ready to enjoy the fresh air, including an expansive deck, a private gas grill, and access to a private dock. The decor inside is inspired directly by the great outdoors, with handsome floors and touches inspired by the natural world. The luxurious kitchen's stone countertops are sure to inspire cooks to prepare delicious meals during their stay. Equipped with all the essentials, as well as appliances like a coffee maker, blender, toaster, and microwave, you have everything you need to whip up a memorable feast. The downstairs bedroom has been recently updated with a large clothes dresser as well as new window blinds. It also features a desk workspace for those who want to catch up on remote work or school-related tasks. The upstairs bedroom (the main bedroom of the home) occupies the entire second floor, and guests of this room can enjoy a private furnished balcony and en suite bathroom with a rain-style showerhead. At the end of a long day, enjoy winding down while your favorite tunes play over the speakers or while watching either of the TVs equipped with YouTube TV (for live TV), Netflix, Hulu, Prime, and HBO. Sunrise views come standard at this lovely home, which sits just 50 feet away from the Harpswell ocean waterfront.

Guests must travel by car to reach this home.
Two kayaks are available for guest use.
Guests can enjoy access to a runway that, at low tide, is 15 feet above the water level. Guests can launch kayaks from the shoreline, though it should be noted there is nowhere to tie up a boat.

If you are bringing a dog on your trip, the pet fee is already included in your quote when selecting ‘Yes’ to pets. No more dogs are allowed.
Parking notes: There is free parking available for 2 vehicles.
Dock details: Guests can enjoy access to a runway that, at low tide, is 15 feet above the water level. Guests can launch kayaks from the shore line - please note that there is nowhere to tie up a boat. All boats and water equipment must be brought back to the house after each use (do not leave it at the dock).
1) Owner's Kayaks: The Owner's kayaks are only the 2 kayaks that are directly in front of the house. They can be carried down, placed in the water and used. After use they should then be returned to the area in front of the house, and should not at ANY time be left on the grass area down near the dock, nor on the dock itself. This is because that land and the dock is not the Owner's property. There is only right of way access.
2) Neighbor's Kayaks & Rack: The kayaks that are on racks down on the grassy area near the dock are NOT the owner's kayaks, and should not be used at any time. Those kayaks belong to a neighbor and should not be touched. Likewise, the Owner's kayaks should never be left near or on on the neighbors' kayak rack.
3) Dock Usage: As a renter of the Owner's house, you also have access to walk on & sit on the dock, which is behind the red barn. To clarify, this is the dock to the left, as you look towards the water. However, you may not leave any property on the dock, nor may you use the chairs that are on that dock. If you want to sit on the dock, you may bring down the Owner's chairs, which are leaning against the side of the Owner's house. However, you may not leave any of the Owner
Damage waiver: The total cost of your reservation for this Property includes a nightly damage waiver fee, plus tax if applicable (the “Damage Waiver”). (A discount may be applied for stays of 28 nights or longer, if permitted.) The Damage Waiver covers you for up to $3,000 of accidental damage to the Property or its contents (such as furniture, fixtures, and appliances) as long as you report the incident to the host prior to checking out. The Damage Waiver fee eliminates the need for a traditional security deposit.
More information can be downloaded from the "Rental Agreement" on the checkout page.
Due to local laws or HOA requirements, guests must be at least 25 years of age to book. Guests under 25 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian for the duration of the reservation.

10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
Fully equipped kitchen, but we didnt cook except for water for tea and take out. Beds were comfortable and plenty of hot water for showers. Great country store with good pizza. Relaxing place for mother, from VA, and daughter, from TX, to get away and explore small towns. Yes, it was a little far to travel but daughter graduated fron U ME, Orano, 25 years ago. We renewed old friendships.

House was clean and nice for a couple. Driveway is a little tight and the dock while nice to sit on is not that well suited for water activities. Only major problem was the dishwasher was not working and were told that a new was on order. We were not informed of this before the rental. But should be fine for next person. Overall nice experience.
10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025
Tricky to initially locate but fantastic house with lots of amenities. A couple of notes: There are multiple loose tiles in the walkway, the upstairs bathroom towel rods are not secured to the walls very well, and the dishwasher does not work.We experienced a brief power outage during a storm, but had an excellent time in a very comfortable home.
6 / 10Average·Sep 2025
The layout of the downstairs was not conducive for comfort. Tv area was a bit odd. Some of the steps going up to the house were loose. This was not a property for older adults, as the stairs to the 2nd floor were quite steep. Probably would not rent again.
