High View

Picture yourself at High View, a stunning waterfront home perched on the edge of Quahog Bay in Harpswell. From your morning coffee on the sweeping deck, you’ll witness pastel skies over the islands, lobster buoys bobbing, and kayaks gliding offshore. With your own spacious dock, you’ll have direct access to the water for fishing, paddling or simply immersing in the unmistakable magic of Maine’s working coastline. Outside, discover a charming, fenced patio — ideal for a morning stretch or evening quiet time.

Inside, thoughtful design meets comfort. On the first floor, you’ll find a fully equipped kitchen that flows into a bright breakfast nook, then into a sun-filled sunroom perfect for remote work or quiet contemplation. The living and dining area, anchored by sliding glass doors, opens to the deck so the outside becomes part of the everyday. Entertainment options abound (games, Roku TV, DVD) and every detail—from furnishings to layout—speaks to easy-luxury vacation living. The upstairs wing offers three restful sleeping spaces: a master suite with king bed and en suite, a queen bedroom, and a loft with another queen tucked behind privacy drapes and screen. Quiet ceiling-fan comfort completes each room.

Location matters and High View delivers. In Harpswell, you can explore the dramatic cliffs of the Giant’s Stairs Trail, wander the shoreline of Bailey Island, or savor lobster at the wharf-side seafood joints. You’re also minutes from scenic hikes, salt-water swims and island adventures. Take a short drive to Brunswick and Cook's Corner with their galleries, restaurants, boutiques and golf courses.Or, venture a bit further to visit iconic LL Bean and the outlet stores in Freeport, ME or visit the Maine State Music Theatre, located at Bowdoin College, where your favorite Broadway plays are performed by talented local actors and musicians. Whether you desire serenity or exploration, High View makes both effortless.

Whether you’re planning a family retreat, a couple’s escape or an adventure-filled week of sea and shore, this house invites you to drop your bags, inhale the salt air, and let time slow down. Reserve your week of coastal magic today!

Such a wonderful place to stay! Lots of windows looking out to the water and a beautiful deck over looking the water. All the beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was stocked with everything you need. It was super clean. Great location with easy access to the interstate to visit nearby towns. Would stay again.
Loved sitting on the deck watching the boats and the osprey.
Great food right down the road....a must!

Serenity by the water

The house was comfortable for three adults and extremely well outfitted. What we liked best is the closeness to the water, whether we were sitting outside on the deck or inside on a couch gazing out through huge windows. We will return!

Wonderful getaway

The house was wonderful! The views were amazing. The house has everything you need. The hosts are very responsive. We stayed during a snow storm but no worries because the hosts were on top of snow removal. Excellent place to relax and spend time with friends.

Wonderful spot on the coast of Maine

For a getaway to the Maine coast, for a couple or family, this is a great location. Waterfront property, close proximity to Brunswick, wonderful seafood - fresh catch to cook on the grill or go to a local restaurant, explore the coast, numerous hiking trails within minutes. Plenty of room for the family....we enjoyed the visit!!

Beautiful house

This was a great place for our vacation. Enough space for everyone. The only downside was the person across the street with the hot rod, turning his engine on at 5am in the morning and running for an hour and carbon monoxide was nauseating that flowed into the master bedroom. Good fishing, could use a bigger dock. Can't wait to come back.

Perfect house, great location!

We’ve been coming to Harpswell for 10+ years as relatives live in town. We decided to rent a house this time around and this property was perfect. Dog friendly was a must - it’s well kept, has incredible views and is centrally located to Harpswell and Brunswick. House had a lovely deck and sunroom to enjoy coffee and enough space to have dinner either at the kitchen or dining room table. We briefly lost power (generator kicked on immediately) and reached out to Heather regarding the beeping alarm. She was quick to respond and pleasant to deal with. Would stay at this property again in a heartbeat!

Girls getaway!!!

I hesitated to write a review because I felt that no one would believe how perfect this place is. First of all, it was beautifully decorated inside, easy to find, the views were fantastic. Everything that we needed was already supplied when we got there and when we needed to go to the store, it was not far away, food places nearby. Very clean and also a garage for those rainy days. I could go on and on but you need to see for yourself. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone, as a matter of fact, I have.

Our Second Visit

We have used VRBO for many years, and no matter how much we like a place, we always want to try someplace different the next time. This is the only rental our family has returned to for a second stay. The house is just as immaculate and well kept as it looks in the photos. The setting is quiet and secluded, and the views from the deck are beautiful. The layout of the house is unique and architecturally interesting During this stay, we visited Bowdoin College Art Museum, The Maine Maritime Museum in Bath, and walked the trails at different parks and conservation lands in Harpswell. Stop off at the Town Offices for a trail map to find your favorite places. Our favorite places to eat out were: J R Maxwell and Mae's Cafe, both in Bath; Richard's and Joshua's, both in Brunswick.

Great Rental House

We recently spent a week at this rental. I have rented many properties over the years and owned a rental property myself for several years. This property is by far the best equipped rental property that I have ever seen. Every detail, down to flashlights on the night stands, have been provided. The house was very clean and the furnishings were all in excellent condition. The deck has several chairs and a table with seating for four overlooking the cove. The view is outstanding, especially at sunrise and sunset. The kitchen is well equipped with a dishwasher, a large refrigerator and many of the condiments and paper goods you will need. A floating dock is also provided that is ideal for fishing or boating. The rental company, Your Island Connection, LLC, was very helpful and prompt delivering all necessary information. This is a property that you are sure to love and I would highly recommend.

What a wonderful set up for boaters. nice dock, deep water. My wife liked the house overall. What we were most impressed with and this is a bit odd is the warmth of the total house. Being from the deep south, the thursday we arrived was the tail end of a Norht easter and is was cold.[52 or so] We had never been in a home with base board heat. I inspected the heating plant. My observation is thus. Why does not eveyone build like this? The pipes are all copper, even piping under the sinks. the pipe joins the stainless fixture linkage. No PVC here. Also the fittings were perfectly soldered, the elec lines were in perfect alignment and all switch/ circuit breakes labled. A lot time and thought went into this building. I enjoyed my time there.

Great waterside property

We stayed for graduation weekend and the house was perfect--lots of space, conveniently located near Brunswick, and very comfortable. The one bedroom that has a balcony (instead of a fourth wall) has an amazing view and great light. The screening for privacy made the space work as a third bedroom. The kitchen was fully stocked and the washer and dryer were very convenient on our second to last day. Our daughters even used the dock for a polar plunge (as it was May and still cold), but in the summer it would be lovely for swimming.
