About this property

Waterfront Family Bungalow on Beautiful Potts Harbor

Step out of the stress of everyday life and into this little bit of paradise. This family owned cottage is attached to the larger private home. It is located at the end of a peninsula, with water views from most rooms. A self contained, 882 square foot, two level apartment with private entrances.

Casually elegant, this recently renovated 1927 summer home is a blend of old world charm and modern conveniences. Each bedroom is lined with windows, affording views of passing lobster boats, changing tides, and gorgeous sunsets. An open concept living area and kitchenette provide all the conveniences necessary for comfortable living.

You can spend time sitting on the deck, overlooking the rocky Maine shore, or hop in the car and drive to nearby Boothbay Harbor, Old Orchard Beach, the outlet town of Freeport, or Pemaquid Point. In close proximity there are many venues for kayaking, boating, whale watches, and excursions, so you can be as busy as you please, or just idle, enjoying the cool summer breezes and breath taking water views. We are pet friendly, we do request that you click off in the reservation that you will be bringing a pet as we have a small pet cleaning fee.

So, come and see us. Take a deep breath of the fresh clean Maine air. Walk the quiet, picturesque streets, lined with beautiful old family homes, eat lots of lobster and once again, enjoy life. You deserve it!

Nice space but cramped in places, some repairs needed, some creative electrical work noted, great location, and terrific views. So nice to be away from all those other people you encounter at other locations.

Wonderful stay and beautiful location!

We loved our stay here and just wish we could have been able to enjoy the house and location more. We were very busy at a Bowdoin reunion but appreciated the peaceful stay at this house when we needed to relax and sleep! We would love to go back to this beautiful spot!

Charming cottage in a spectacular location. Just a short walk to Potts Point Preserve and a lovely neighborhood for a stroll. Perfect for unwinding, but also close to lots of other fun places to explore. The view from the bedrooms can't be beat.

Gorgeous, peaceful location. Enjoyed the beautiful sunset, having the windows open, and had to laugh that having a full moon actually woke us up because it was so bright once it also sets.
Just sit and listen…
Eat nearby at Erica’s! (Closes for the season Oct 13)
We drove over to Pemaquid Point Lighthouse (about 90 min away but one that you can actually enter the lighthouse)

Heavenly Harbor

Accommodations were clean, well maintained and appointed with everything we needed. Barbara and Ed were hospitable and helpful. We were looking for a relaxing coastal retreat, and found it in this seaside bungalow. We’re already planning for when we can return. Thank you for a lovely vacation.

About the host

Hosted by bearnold03033

Host profile image

I Beth, as a child, this beautiful Maine home was owned by my grandparents. Grandpa built a separate unit, which is now what we refer to as our Bungalow, so that all of his grandchildren and their families could enjoy the vacation home and he and Grandma could still keep their sanity! Growing up in this house made it a part of me, the sights and smells of the ocean, and the memories attached to them. So, in 2008, when the second generation needed to sell it, my husband and I bought it in order to maintain the family traditions.
The grandchildren are all grown now, some with grandchildren of their own but the traditions will carry on. We hope you can make some memories too, and enjoy this beautiful spot just as we do.

Why they chose this property

We chose to buy this home so that we could keep it in the family. It is such a beautiful spot and has so many wonderful memories.

What makes this property unique

You can have as much privacy as you want or visit with others who are living in the main house or renting the other guest cottage.
