Slightly rustic, but with all the amenities you will need. Very comfortable. Neighbors are close and parking space is limited/small. Otherwise, good spot for a home base from which to explore. ##### Scott R.

Reviewer Comments: The Town of Harpswell is a beautiful, off the beaten path, quaint and typically Maine small town! This home is kind of hidden away on the edge of Casco Bay. It was just beautiful! The home was cozy and comfortable and a great home base for exploring. The management company was friendly and helpful with the few questions I had for them. We would definitely stay here again! ##### Andrea L.

The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Several issues. I paid for linen service. When i opened the sterile bag i noticed that one of the sheets had a brown stain.i texted the management company and they told me to use the smaller size sheets in the other room which was impossible. The bathroom door does NOT close that was very uncomfortable and there was a very thin lace curtain. i could see the people next door and i assume that they could see me in the bathroom as well.On the first day I dropped some water on the kitchen floor and used a paper towel to wipe it up only to find it to be black with dirt. that kitchen floor was not cleaned before we arrived. ##### meg k.

The house had everything you need, beds were comfortable-great little cottage for a relaxing getaway! Definitely would recommend for the scenic drives out to dinner and great restaurants within 10-25 minutes for fresh lobster dishes! ##### Mandy S. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David R. 13 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic property and hosts My wife and I booked this for wedding anniversary and the trip was fantastic partly because of this property. The house is cozy and right on the harbor. Very private and quiet. Everything was very clean and orderly. We wish it would have had a king size bed and a fire pit outside but otherwise it was perfect. Communication with the host was spectacular and they gave great recommendations on things to do. ##### David R. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pat (and sister Pamela) P. 27 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Breathtaking & peaceful The Gull's Rest cottage was clean, organized, and just as pictured and described. The view of the bay was perfect. Such a treat to drink coffee on the porch in the morning. It was unusually hot and humid the week we were there so we were very grateful for the fans upstairs and down. The cottage is wonderfully decorated with soothing colors and many appealing reminders of the seaside locale. The wrap-around porch is an amazing treat with several areas for BBQ, table space, birdwatching, reading -- marvelous spaces for any of the above. We played games, ate outside, read in comfy chairs and generally enjoyed the amazing views. It would have been wonderful to have had the beds made up when we arrived, as our arrival was approx. 11pm after lengthy drives. (Thank you, Marcie, for answering the very late, slightly panicky phone call! And for your warm greeting at such an hour.). We highly recommend this cottage for families or individuals looking for a convenient, welcoming Maine retreat. ##### Pat (and sister Pamela) P.
