Harpswell Bay House

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Enjoy a glimpse of the charm of Midcoast Maine at this three-bedroom Harpswell home, where you'll have an outdoor deck, a beautiful waterfront location, and views of an inlet of Casco Bay.

Ideally situated only 200 feet from the water, this cottage is located on the eastern shoreline of Sebascodegan Island (or Great Island as it is known locally). This two-level cottage is across the water from Long Island, minutes by boat or car from greater Casco Bay, 10 miles south of Brunswick, and 35 miles east of Portland.

Step inside to find wood floors, knotty pine beams on the walls and ceilings, and WiFi throughout the home. Relax on the sofa with a novel, warm up in front of the wood stove, admire the views of the property from the large windows, or choose a DVD to watch on the cable TV.

The wrap-around kitchen is full of country charm, offering modern appliances and plenty of cabinet storage. Sit down to eat at the kitchen table or the dining table by the window, or light the gas grill for a picnic on the deck, the lawn, or the water's edge. There's also a detached meditation room for contemplative mornings.

This three-bedroom, one-bathroom home will sleep as many as six people. Each of the bedrooms has a full-size bed, while the bathroom has a claw-foot tub and a showerhead. An outdoor shower is also provided to help you rinse off the sand from one of the nearby beaches.

As a bastion of natural beauty in the heart of Midcoast Maine, Harpswell is a relaxing retreat for anglers, kayakers, and nature lovers. Book an excursion on the water with ALERT Windjammer Cruises or H2Outfitters, take a hike on the iconic Giant's Stairs Trail or Cliff Trail, or take a drive to the fascinating Maine Maritime Museum 13 miles north.

Experience the countless wonders of this sparkling region of Maine - book your Harpswell vacation today!

Mixed Review
When we arrived the door code did not work so we had to use the key in the lockbox which was very hard to use and only one key for four adults. A local Vacasa person was supposed to come and fix all of this but never did. The house is fine...but a lack of screens on most of the windows kept us pretty warm. I thought we would have easy direct access to the water but this was not the case: had to walk about 1/3 of a mile to get to the water. Never saw anyone swimming...seemed only for fishing. Bed mattresses need an upgrade. Upstairs bedroom skylights need shades. Living room couches need an upgrade. Why a large glass table in the center of the living room when children are welcome? However: nice games for children. Good applicances. everything worked.

Lack of Property Maintenance
This was a Vacasa managed property. Will never use another. Although cottage was clean enough, the grounds had not been maintained. Upon arrival, house was closed up tight. NO airflow so inside was really hot and gross. Ran around collecting fans to cool things off. Had trouble with Keyless entry, but got in. Dropped bags and went out. Came back after dinner and found keyless entry was no longer functioning and it took too long to get the situation dealt with. Had to be given access with the actual key to get in. Again, took too long and lock was actually never repaired during stay even though we were told it had been the next day. Next morning shower unusable due to diverter falling out of tube faucet. Texted at 8am about issue. When maintenance person finally showed at 8pm, not actually repaired. We were told we needed to just use our fingers to push it back up into the faucet which was loaded with calcium deposits. Grounds a mess. Lawn mowed, but weeds had taken over the gardens, and the grill was unusable as it had been shoved into the garden area and overtaken by the weeds. The deck by back building was unusable as well due to a large thorny rose bush growing up through decking. Due to location near wetlands, not mentioned in description, and all the recent rain, mosquitos were horrible. Couldn't sit out even during the day. I used to live in Maine and they were bad. Will not stay again.

Beautiful cabin
This was a beautiful cabin near the water. The interior and exterior of both beautifully kept and very authentic. The only complaints that I would have would be that the front and back door screen doors did not work very well. And the upstairs bedrooms did not have much headroom because the ceiling is quite low. But all in all it was a great place. If I were I visiting the Harpswell area in the future, I’d stay again. Something else to consider is the mosquito issue. There are lots of mosquitoes in July in this area. We really couldn’t go outside near the cabin because there were so many mosquitoes. I realize this is not the owners problem.

Calm and beautiful place to stay
This bay house is so beautiful and quiet. I enjoyed the view all day, and my family and I enjoyed paddling at the bay in the afternoons.
