About this property

Morningside. Waterfront home with seasonal dock and float, Pet friendly!

Located on Gun Point Road in picturesque Harpswell, set back from the bustle of summer traffic, "Morningside" awaits your vacationing family. Located 25' from the water's edge it is the perfect refuge for those looking to get away for vacation.

Whether it is the quiet serenity of a morning sunrise, evening moon rise, or sitting on the house deck viewing bald eagles, ospreys, seals, loons, or sea gulls the view is always in tune with mother nature. Morningside has large interior windows from the ground floor and 2nd floor "OPEN LOFT". These eastern windows give every area of the home great views of the inlets and coves of Quahog Bay.

At Morningside you will find the ground floor with a full sized bathroom , fully stocked kitchen, a bedroom (queen bed), a dining area table for 6, and a living room area with furniture that just invites comfort and relaxation.

Upstairs you will find TWO OPEN LOFT bedrooms. PLEASE NOTE: You must walk through the 1st bedroom to access the Master Bedroom. A portable room divider is provided for "sight" privacy between the two bedrooms. At the top of the stairs you will find the 1st bedroom with a Queen bed.. This room faces directly east allowing guests to watch the sunrise from the comfort of their room.

Continue through the 1st bedroom into the Master Bedroom Loft Area. This Master Bedroom Area offers a king size bed and great views from every window. The Master Bedroom area also offers a door leading out onto a balcony. Here guests may step out and listen to the birds in the morning or watch the stars at night.

Between these two open-loft bedrooms is a beautiful, full-sized bathroom. All bed linens and towels are provided.

"Morningside's" kitchen has a dishwasher, toaster oven, microwave, Keurig and drip coffee makers. Outside you will find a propane grill to cook on. The laundry room has a stackable washer and dryer. Wi-Fi and cable TV with HBO are also available.

Views and amenities make Morningside inviting, but we also offer swimming, fishing and kayaking right from your own private dock. Fish for stripers, mackerel, or bay pollack from the dock. Bring your own kayak or rent them, contact info below. Explore the islands and inlets around Gun Point Cove, Quahog Bay, or nearby Cundy's Harbor. Fun fact: Harpswell has 216 miles of coastline, that is a lot to explore! Harpswell also offers a wonderful selection of hiking trails. Check them out at https://hhltmaine.org/get-outdoors/.

Take a drive and see all that Harpswell has to offer from gift shops, restaurants, sailing excursions, free summer concerts, to candy and ice cream shops.

Beautiful House on the Inlet
The house on Gun Point Road has beautiful views from almost every room. It's just gorgeous. We didn't want to leave. There are a few steps to the first floor, then one Queen bedroom on the first floor, in case someone in your party has trouble with stairs. The house was immaculate, beds were all comfortable, towels and linens were provided. The house is about 20 minutes away from Downtown Brunswick, an easy drive to get dinner or attend an activity. We were hoping we could kayak, but off-season they aren't provided. We called an adventure company to took a kayak tour, but unfortunately, they never returned the call. Recommend calling ahead if you want to do things in the off-season. There are a few restaurants that are open off-season, but many of then either only open for dinner or lunch. Or open only Thursday - Sunday. We ate at Josh's twice while we were there. The Seafood Chowder was excellent, service was great. That said, we loved the house so much that we ate most of our meals there. The host was wonderful to work with and very quick to respond. There are quite a few hiking trails, and the Escape Room was a lot of fun. There is a really neat General Store on the way into Brunswick that had almost everything we needed.

Could have stayed forever
This is an excellent property that lives up to its name with truly serene and stunning sunrises. Tucked away on a beautiful, little bay, there are plenty of scenic areas to explore within a short drive in all directions.

Peaceful Retreat
We really enjoyed our stay at Morningside. It was a very peaceful and private location right on Gun Point Cove. The house is exactly as pictured. Felt very much like we were in a cool treehouse with a view of the water. The house was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The balcony was our favorite spot, where we spent hours watching the water and feeling the gentle ocean breeze. It was the perfect setting for sipping my morning coffee and unwinding with a glass of wine in the evening. If looking for a quiet, peaceful retreat, I would recommend this place.
