About this cottage rental

Situated in Harpswell, this charming cottage for $243 per night is a fantastic option for your next trip. Open sunny cottage at head of Basin Cove where the tide ebbs and flows inviting herons and egrets to scavage along the water's edge. Swimming, canoeing, and kayaking from the front dock at high tide. Peaceful to view the scene via a wall of windows while sitting by the wood stove on a rainy day, or from the surrounding deck in the afternoon sun or evening shade. Two miles to nearby Erika's take-out or the Dolphin Marina Restaurant for homemade fish chowder and blueberry muffins. Fresh lobsters and summer corn available for Maine summer dining. For those inclined to venture out - concerts at The Bowdoin College Summer Music Festival, musicals at The Maine State Theater in Brunswick, The Walker Museum at Bowdoin, The Wyeth Center in Rockland, The Portland Museum of Art, shopping at L.L. Bean and outlet stores in Freeport (30 minutes) plus many area gift shops... or stay put and hang out in the hammock with a good book. Guest's comments: 'Truly restorative time...a peaceful, glorious spot.' Linda W. 'I awakened happily to the simplicity of 'Spartina'.' Deborah L. 'All the birds were here at 7am for a feeding frenzy as the tide came in.' Jim R 'Amazing that swimming was a possibility and extremely refreshing. The rhythm of the tides and the light are particularly stunning.' Deborah and James D. 'Different mood and changes in the water with the tides and weather conditions were fascinating. We especially appreciated how clean everything was and having a house with so many great books and a well stocked kitchen.' Ron and family 'Beautiful surroundings. So many memories to take home...a true respite from our city life in Houston. No smog, no sirens, no air-conditioning (how nice!). we breathed easier here.' The W family We had a great time canoeing, swimming, playing Monopoly and Risk. The cove was a nice backdrop to look at and we spent lots of time reading. All in all, it was a wonderful vacation.' brothers Sam and Harry 'Without 'Spartina' our week in Maine would have passed without much of a sense of 'Maineness'.' Mike and Katherine Nine nights and ten days - it's just not enough. There is no substitute for the Maine coast and South Harpswell in particular. We love it here!'

This home was pure comfort and perfection! It's not often on vacation my friend and I find ourselves wanting to just stay in, but this cozy cabin made it hard to leave. The view was incredible and the cozy fireplace made it the most perfect place to stay put and relax! I would 100% recommend this location and rental property and would love to visit again some day!

We had a great stay and loved our time in Maine and at the cottage. The owner was very attentive and the cottage was spacious yet cozy and clean. Our only suggestion would be on the online description for the parking. It’s stated there is room for two cars to park however we drive a jeep grand Cherokee and it just fit in the space to allow to back/pull out safely. I’m not sure another car would have been able fit unless they were both small cars. We have no complaints and if we were to return to the area for another vacation we would definitely look into staying at Spartina again. Thanks for a wonderful 30th wedding anniversary get away!

The owners were forward thinking when they built and respectful of the environment. A high performance house with lots of natural light and the option to open up the windows to the let the fresh air in. Their use of space is thoughtful, so the place felt roomy and comfortable.
