About this property

High View- Serene waterfront home w/ a dock, large deck & amazing views!

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!

We are glad that Bayside Hideout met your expectations and that you were able to enjoy the deck and views from the home. Super clean is also something we love to read and will be sure to pass that along to our amazing housekeeping team! We think it is in a great location too and we hope you come stay with us again if you find yourself staying in the area.

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 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!!
