We had great weather for a Thanksgiving holiday stay with spectacular sunrise views from every room, any amenity we could possibly need, the most comfortable beds and easy communication with the host concerning any questions. It was mainly my husband and myself for nine days and two adult daughters who came for the weekends. My son and family live a mile away on the Mountain Rd. and while their home is currently undergoing construction, we got to bring our two grandchildren over here for a few afternoons during their school vacation. Thanks again Sarah for a peaceful vacation!

Once again, we enjoyed a wonderful stay at Top of the Sea. What a spectacular setting and exemplary hosts. Hope to be able to return next year!

Absolutely wonderful! Our first time to Maine and this cottage was perfect! The views were so awesome!! and it's very peaceful and secluded! Plenty room inside and kitchen very well stocked. Main floor bedroom and bathroom made it perfect for my 86 years young Momma!There are some steps going down to the cottage from where you park, but we managed just fine! Harpswell offers plenty of great places to eat lobster rolls!! I highly recommend this sweet cottage!! hope we can plan a return trip next year!!
