About this house rental
Located right on the water of the deep water side of Basin Point Road, this cottage features spectacular sunsets across Casco Bay. On a clear day you can see Mt Washington in New Hampshire. The house has 3 porches, and a big stone fireplace. The house is located at the end of a wooded road which insures privacy and no traffic. Whales and eagles, and frequently seals have been spotted from the back porch along with the lobster boats pulling their traps daily. Inside there are 2 bedrooms with one queen size bed, and one full, and a futon bed in the living room. There is a large dining room table which seats 10 easily and a fully furnished kitchen. The bathroom has an old fashioned claw foot bathtub with a shower attachment. And yes we do have Wifi! We now also have another cabin on the property that we have fixed up to include a full bathroom, a mini fridge, and beds that can either be 2 singles or combined to make one king . Please inquire directly if you are interested.

I can’t say enough about this cottage and the other two cabins able for rental. Our family had an absolute blast and watching the sunsets every night took our breath away! Walking in through the very well equipped kitchen the first thing you see is the water. Quite the views to be had!! The cottages were sparkling clean, I was so worried about the water system, but water was left for us to drink and the Britta pitcher worked like a dream! A ceiling fan in the main room is all that is missing, but there were enough fans to help us move the air around when it got stuffy. Our dog was very happy with the freedom she got. I will also say unfortunately she acquired an injury before we traveled up and the emergency vet in Freehold was awesome with her! Location is the cabin was wonderful, private and close to many wonderful sites. Would HIGHLY recommend this place! Communication with the owner was fantastic and she responded to all of my questions.

We had a wonderful week in Harpswell at this house (2 adults plus small dog). We enjoyed the amazing view of the bay, with the lobster boats working each day. Very quiet and private location. The house is older, and rustic, but comfortable and the kitchen was well-equipped. We ate a lot of very fresh lobster. Thank you, Jeanne!

Amazing property in an unbeatable location. Working with Jean was a dream - she’s wonderful. We love going to Dolphin and Erica’s so the proximity to those didn’t hurt either! And the sunsets? Amazing! Hoping to return next next year.

This home is right on Casco bay with large windows looking out. There is a great restaurant and another outdoor lobster shack less than 5 minutes away. One of our key issues was privacy which the owners stressed. Unfortunately, there is a small cabin 10 yards away that is occupied by a couple.
There is virtually no access to the water. There are no screens in several of the windows so that on a not day it can get warm. There is a rotten egg smell to the running water so that a shower is nota pleasant experience.
With a little work this can be a five star experience
