About this house rental
Cozy, newly renovated, well appointed cottage overlooking Bass Harbor. The perfect spot for your island getaway. At the end of the day wind down at the water's edge and watch the boats come in. Or, rise early and sip coffee as the sun comes up. You'll love the peace and quiet of this property. This area of the harbor is tidal so twice every 24 hours the water will recede allowing you to see the harbor floor and the wildlife that searches for food when it's low tide.

Highly recommend this cottage. The photos are very accurate, and I thought it was a bit larger than the photos showed. Beautiful views through the trees of the harbor, and we spent lots of time on the porch looking at the water, the birds, and boats. Loved our 2 dedicated Adirondack chairs as well, right at the water's edge. There are 2 other cottages nearby, but luckily both were quiet, and we barely heard them, and the houses are a decent distance from each other. The place is a 10-minute drive to town, and a 5-minute walk to Thurston's and a few cute stores. For a place that takes pets, it was very clean and well-tended (not all dog-friendly places are in the greatest shape.) My only criticism is the shower, which is quite small (and I'm not a large person). But certainly not a deal-breaker. We hope to come back again!

Classic cottage with view of the harbor. Immaculately clean, well stocked kitchen. Close by to other cottages but plenty of privacy with trees and deck screen. Easy put in for my kayak (fairly light craft so might be tricky for some) but other options nearby and beautiful tidal rivers from the harbor.

Great getaway to coastal Maine. Will be back!

The view from the back deck in the morning is beautiful! We loved our drive through the small towns with the fishing boats and sail boats. It was so nice to stay in a quiet area away from the heavy tourist area and yet close enough to drive to those areas exploring the lighthouses and communities.
