This delightful 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom cottage boasts incredible views from nearly every room and is thoughtfully designed to blend comfort with classic coastal character. The main floor welcomes you with a cozy sitting area, an open-concept living and dining space, and a well-equipped kitchen—all perfectly positioned to capture panoramic ocean views. There is also a bedroom on the main floor, featuring a queen size bed, with ocean views. A full bathroom on this level adds convenience, making it ideal for guests or easy day-to-day living. Whether you're enjoying a quiet morning coffee or sharing dinner as the sun sets, the ever-changing seascape is always in view.

Upstairs, you’ll find two comfortable bedrooms—one with a queen bed and one with two twin beds—making the layout ideal for families or groups of friends. The bedroom with the queen size bed, opens onto a private upper deck, a perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee, watch lobster boats drift by, or stargaze in the evening. A full bathroom on this floor adds convenience for guests. A small desk area and a quiet reading nook offer peaceful spaces to work, relax, or simply unwind!


Step outside onto the expansive wrap-around deck on the main level—an ideal setting for al fresco dining, morning coffee, or evening cocktails with a view. This generous outdoor space offers the perfect perch to take in the sights and sounds of the ocean. For those eager to get closer to the water, a set of striking granite steps provides direct access to the shore. At low tide, a beautiful stretch of beach is revealed—perfect for beachcombing, sunbathing, or launching a kayak into the calm, protected cove.

Located along Maine’s breathtaking Midcoast, Harpswell offers over 200 miles of coastline—more than any other town in the state—filled with winding peninsulas, sheltered coves, and endless ocean views. It’s a peaceful escape where guests can enjoy quiet coastal walks on our many hiking trails, launch kayaks from secluded beaches, and savor some of the freshest lobster you’ll ever taste—often straight from the boat. Whether you're cracking into a lobster roll at a local shack or watching lobster boats from the deck, Harpswell delivers an authentic Maine experience. It’s also perfectly situated for day trips: stroll through the vibrant college town of Brunswick, shop Freeport’s charming outlets and visit the flagship L.L.

The property was great, clean and well maintained. Wish we had a dishwasher and air conditioning since it was so very hot. The neighbors dock is very squeaky which no one can do anything about. Would stay here again.
