About this cottage rental

This is 'the way life should be'... Camp Card Cove is a comfortable shingle-style Maine camp/cottage on large private 2 acre lot in Harpswell. Located at the end of a long dead-end gravel driveway, this architecturally designed Maine waterfront camp is yours to enjoy. Its location is peaceful and private on beautiful Card Cove, a protected deep-water anchorage, just a few minutes sail from gorgeous Casco Bay. The entire level lot and over two hundred feet of owned waterfront and private dock are at your disposal. Fish, barbecue, relax and rest as you gaze out on the cove and breathe in the salty fresh air. The fall is the perfect time to spend in Maine, enjoy hikes and day trips without the crowds. Explore the beauty of Mid Coast Maine, including Booth bay Harbor, which is only 45 minutes away. Relax at night with the gas fireplace indoors, or outdoors with our fire pit. The home features 4 bedrooms ( Master, bedroom one and two and loft )and 3 bathrooms for maximum comfort with minimum hassle, there is a total of 2600 square feet of living space. This is a newer construction home, not a fixer upper, in immaculate condition. We can send additional pictures of Quahog Bay, the grounds or the interior of the cottage if you like, just ask. Why stay at hotel or Inn when you can stay at your own private oceanfront cottage? The home also features a separate 'kids suite' with two sets of bunk beds on the second floor with TV/DVD and separate bathroom. The kids can be close by yet the parents can have their privacy. The master bedroom opens onto a private second floor balcony with ocean views to Card Cove and Quahog Bay. Sip some wine and watch the sailboats and lobster men from your private porch. There is another bedroom on the second floor, as well as one on the main floor, perfect for guests that find it difficult to maneuver upstairs. A large but cozy living room with gas fireplace and TV as well as a screened in porch and outdoor deck complete the perfect vacation! The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, dishes and glasses. The view from the kitchen is incredible, and most likely you would want to cook at the house, instead of frequenting restaurants!! However, if you choose to eat out the towns of Brunswick and Bath have some very fine restaurants and Portland's Old Port is an easy 35 minute drive. Boaters take note...there is a mooring and dock available for use with prior arrangements so sail to the home or bring your boat and explore Casco Bay. We also include the use of a small dinghy and two kayaks, a 10.6 foot 'Precision' and a 13.8 foot Old Town 'Loon'. Bring your own if you prefer or make it easy and fun and just use ours! Imagine sailing on your day-sailor in protected Card Cove . Sail the bay and smell the salt air. Late summer and Fall are more beautiful than ever. Watch the changing leaves, eat lobster in the cool fall air. Don't forget to plan ahead for the summer..peak weeks book well ahead of the summer so reserve your week now. Peak season rentals run Saturday to Saturday. The calendar may or may not automatically tell you that. Hope to hear from you soon. Fall rental inquiries are starting to pick up so reserve early!!! Ask about our multi week discounts. JUST E-MAIL US! Renting a private home is different than staying at a hotel. It is important to ask questions before you reserve and to have realistic expectations. We have done our best to describe our properties, however, guest expectations vary. If you have special requests or needs please ask before you reserve. We want to avoid renter's remorse or the old "this was not what I thought it was going to be like". In most cases guests never asked any questions!!!! Refunds at the time of check in are not permitted. Thank you, John and Karen Guest Comments: We really enjoyed your house and in spite of all the pictures you have on your website there is no way to do justice to such a lovely house. The sunrise over the water and watching all the lobster boats were both beautiful. Regards, Judy

Absolutely lovely home with wonderfully accommodating hosts! Ocean front, kayaks … what else does one need? Pictures don’t do the home or the location justice. If you’re on the fence, don’t hesitate! Thank you John and Karen for an unforgettable vacation with 4 generations under one roof!!!

This is a very special place that overlooks Card Cove in Harpswell, ME. The house is immaculate and well-equipped, with comfortable beds and inviting furnishings. Best of all is the view of the water and the easy access from the dock to kayak among the cormorants. The hosts are responsive, lovely people. You can't go wrong with Camp Card Cove!

The house sits on a nice lot with a great view of the water. Home was too big for the 2 of us but loved having the space. Sun room to deck to fire pit and to the dock watching the sun rise and set. Nice way to spend the days. Home had just about everything you need- even all sizes of lobster pots. Next time to Maine we would stay here again.

As always we are never disappointed. Loved the new renovations and additional kayaks. The indoor and outdoor space works so well for our family of 10. Karen and John are exceptional at returning inquiries. The view just makes you smile.
