Sunny Cottage on Private Oceanfront Point
About this cottage rental
Cozy Sunny Oceanfront Cottage on your own private point with 250ft of coastal frontage and unobstructed ocean views from each of the 8 windows in the living room. Experience peace and tranquility as you gaze at the golden sunset reflecting across the water. Enjoy the wonder of nature as you watch our local bald eagle, loons, Canada geese, ducks, deer, turkey and many local birds. Watch the lobsterman pull his traps, seagulls harvest their clams, and osprey dive for dinner….. or cast your own fishing pole off the rocks and fish for stripers … just steps from your front door. Nature's entertainment is constantly changing just outside your window. It’s no wonder that Maine nurtures so many artists and poets. Our beautiful surroundings are the inspiration for the poet to translate words into emotion and the artist to transform paint into a vision. The cottage is 5 minutes from Brunswick which hosts an abundance of great restaurants, shops, cinemas, golf courses, museums, bike and walking paths, and the popular Maine Music Theatre. Smithsonian Magazine voted Brunswick as one of America’s best small towns in 2012. Maine’s largest city, historic Portland, is only 45 minutes away…..Although one would wonder why you would ever want to leave. So sit back, relax, and remember days gone by, when life was simpler and vacations were a time for rest, relaxation and renewal.

If you are looking for a great location to fully experience Mid Coast Maine, you would be hard pressed to find a better rental than this.
The location is ideal. The cottage on a brilliant piece of property offers great views, privacy and a very quiet, natural environment. Only 10 minutes from downtown Brunswick and Route 1 , you have easy access to many nice restaurants and easy travels to other great spots like Portland, Freeport, Bath, Boothbay and many more.
Diane, our host was simply the best. Very friendly, kind , helpful and totally respectful of our privacy.
We hope to have an opportunity to stay here again in the near future!

The hosts of this retreat, Diane and Larry, could not have been more welcoming or informative. Diane has a very well organized "tourist booth" right inside the cabin: sightseeing, restuarants, museums and many other area attractions.
This cabin is truly special as it sits on it's own little pennisula, away from the big house so it's very private. Really clean and well organized kitchen, but the bathroom is kinda small. But hey, you're in a cabin in the Maine woods not a spa lol! It too is just right...the bedroom has a comfy king bed with a good variety of pillows to lounge around on after your hikes or touring lighthouses. There's a table in front of the big windows which face west for the fantastic sunsets. the table has a drop leaf so you can have your coffee there and plan your day. The yard has access to the water so you can toss a fishing line in if so inclined at high tide. And the entire property itself is so beautifully landscaped with flowers blooming in all the right places!!
We had such a relaxing vacation there we are thinking of going back in the fall.
Thank you Diane and Larry for such a great week in Maine!

The cottage is on a really lovely quiet small peninsula sticking out into the cove. You can hear the road a bit and see a few other houses, but overall it's so peaceful and private and beautiful. Swimming possible at high tide. Or just sit in the chairs and watch the eagles and the seals and feel very happy to be in Maine! Diane was a great host, friendly but really gave us our privacy. And the cottage is very comfortable, clean, and pretty. A great stay!

My husband and I made a long-overdue return to Maine after many years and this little cottage on its own Western-facing point exceeded our expectations in every way. Beautiful. Quiet. Private. Our hosts went out of their way to make us feel welcome, with recommendations for local restaurants, hikes, etc. The bed and accommodations were very and comfortable and the sunsets were absolutely stunning! No doubt, we’ll be staying here again!

This property is very well kept. The cottage is clean and quiet with a very comfortable bed and a beautiful view of the bay from two sides.
Diane was accessible for questions and advice.
There are many excellent places to eat close by. We particularly enjoyed Gurnet Trading Company. They had excellent prices on steamed lobster and delicious onion rings!
We had a couple of days of fishing at high tide and landed a few striped bass!
We very much enjoyed our stay. Thank you Diane!

The cottage was wonderful in every way. We really enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to go back. The scenery and location just can’t be beat. The cottage is well appointed, comfortable, and charming. Diane, the hostess, was friendly, helpful, and a joy to interact with. We will definitely recommend this cottage to friends and family.
4.0
We liked the little cottage and the location was perfect! The views were stunning, but we felt the bathroom was terribly small and it became incredibly hot due to no air circulation (despite opening the window). Also, due to the size and layout of the bathroom, we had to brush our teeth, and do our hair in the kitchen. For a 7 night stay we paid a total of $2406.72 which included a cleaning fee of $100 above and beyond the nightly rate, taxes, and service fees. At $343.82 per night, we expected an impeccably clean cottage and not to have to deal with insects, but we fought ants during our entire stay. It was a big inconvenience as minimal insect control has been enacted by the owners. They should invest in TempoSC to safely control ants in the cottage.
Overall, we did not feel that the price per night matched the accommodations, although the cottage location was wonderful as well as the hostess being wonderful.

Maine has been on our bucket list for a long time. This was the perfect size cottage and location for us. Diane was so knowledgeable and helpful in suggesting places to visit, eat, shop, etc. We saw bald eagles, seals, ducks, chipmunks….all at the cottage. If you have been thinking about visiting Maine, do it! It is a gorgeous part of the country.

Our stay was spectacular and the owners are the most enjoyable people. Loved the place, great privacy, beautiful views and plenty of wildlife to see right from the yard. Gorgeous sunsets and comfortable place to stay and enjoy the surroundings. Plenty of good places to eat nearby and fresh lobsters right down the road. We look forward to coming back!

My wife and I stayed at the cottage in August 2022, and we had a perfect week. The cottage and the yard are even more beautiful than they appear in the pictures. You'll see the most gorgeous sunsets!
We were amazed by the amount of wildlife we got to see: eagles, ospreys catching fish in the water, even a seal.
Diane was an exceptional host and will help you find the best things to do (and eat!) in the area. We were particularly grateful for her recommendations of local walks. We tried five of them and you really can't go wrong--the woods and shoreline are beautiful.
The cottage is the perfect size for two people. The bedroom is quite spacious and was a comfortable place for reading and playing board games as well as for sleeping. We didn't end up cooking much, but the kitchen has plenty of prep space, so that would definitely be an option. One thing I particularly enjoyed: the tap water tastes great!
We really enjoyed visiting nearby Brunswick as well. If you forgot to bring something to read, there are plenty of bookstores (we really enjoyed Bull Moose).
In general, it's an equally great place to stay if you're looking to have a quiet week on the point or if you want to go out and have adventures (we did both!), so I wholeheartedly recommend a visit. Thank you, Diane!

Spent a week exploring Harpswell and Brunswick while staying in this very clean, comfortable and well appointed cabin. The view from the point is spectacular - pictures don’t do it justice. Amazing sunsets every night. Watched the ebb and flow of the tides and the waterfowl. Good Wi-Fi, excellent location for exploring, comfortable platform bed, very helpful and gracious host - we really enjoyed our stay and would rent it again.

Cottage on the point
Diane and Larry are great to deal with. The check in and check out process could not have been easier. The cottage is clean and tidy, just as advertised. The view is second to none, we enjoyed long sits on the chairs watching eagles, snowy egrets and all of the wonderful wildlife that the tidal cove has to offer. I would definitely return.

Peaceful retreat
Beautiful Maine cottage situated on a quiet and peaceful inlet. We absolutely loved it! Perfect for 2 people. Clean and well appointed with all the amenities needed for a week stay. A wonderful shoreline to launch a kayak, observe bald eagles and herons, or explore the shoreline as the tide recedes. And of course, gorgeous sunsets. every night. The owner is lovely and available if anything is needed. I look forward to staying here again.

Beautiful spot. Very peaceful and quiet. If you're looking for a spot to just relax and unwind, this is your place. We really enjoyed sitting out by the water and watching the bald eagles and osprey fly around.

We had stayed several times in Maine, but knew nothing about Harpswell. It turned out to greatly exceed our expectations . Lots of great hiking trails, lobster restaurants and other things to do. The cottage was delightful: very comfortable with everything we needed. Fabulous views from every window. Resident family of bald eagles. We wouldn't have changed a thing.

Just what we were looking for!
What a cozy, charming cottage on a magnificent piece of property. We returned early from our daytime adventures simply to sit out on the point to enjoy the calm and the view. Many thanks to Diane for being so accomodating with our last minute reservations and for the care with which she greets her guests.

R&R in a wonderful spot!
The Cottage on the Point has a splendid location, with tidal waters lapping on three sides. The large windows in the cottage, and the adirondack chairs on the shady tip of the point, afford great opportunities to observe the habits of eagles, osprey, herons, egrets, cormorants, eider ducks, terns, and gulls. The cottage itself offers old-fashioned comforts and all the kitchen equipment one might need. Owners are gracious and welcoming, but entirely respectful of a guest's privacy, much appreciated! The upper Harpswell location is close to shopping and lovely "architecture walks" on the Bowdoin campus and the residential streets of Brunswick. It is an easy shot to other enticing pleasures of mid-Coast Maine, but always a pleasure to return to the cottage. My thanks to the Baileys!

The place was just as we'd pictured, neat as a pin with gorgeous views and comfortable accommodations. Proximity to Brunswick and all points of interest couldn't be better. Diane was a wonderful host and met us to explain everything upon our arrival. We enjoyed a nice long chat before we departed. Still thinking about the tides, eagles, and cool breezes.

Peaceful
Absolutely loved the cabin. It was our favorite part about the trip. Quiet, peaceful, beautiful and the inside is decked out with all the necessities one might need to cook on the stove or BBQ. The decor is quality. The stocked goods of paper products were fantastic. The abundance of windows in this place make for a stunning sunrise to sundown. Loved this place. Larry the dad is amazing- he came down to greet us and gave us great ideas for dinners. For 100 yrs old he is beyond amazing. Can't say enough good about this cottage.

This cottage is an absolute charmer! It's set out alone on a point with Middle Bay on three sides. The views are incredible, and because it's a tidal area, they are ever-changing. Every day I saw bald eagles (sometimes in the huge pine trees right outside the cottage), herons, cormorants, plovers, and other sea and shore birds. It's 10 minutes from Brunswick with its shopping and events, but it feels like a world away. Diane and Larry are the perfect hosts: friendly, kind, and very accessible and also respectful of your privacy. The cottage itself is delightful and perfect for a single person or a couple. The kitchen is well stocked, with everything I needed to do a little cooking. There are kayaks available for high tide. It has cool ocean breezes and air conditioning for hot days, but also the heat works great on a cold September night. It's a wonderful combination of a stunning natural setting, but only a short drive to restaurants, grocery stores, etc. Very highly recommended.

Sunny Cottage Maine
We had a fantastic stay. The cottage is perfect for a Maine getaway. The property is very secluded on a private point. We watched ospreys, eagles, kingfishers, various shore birds and even seals. Brunswick is close by. There are many good places to eat along the shore. Diane was a wonderful host. We would definitely stay there again.

Peaceful, comfy, great location
This house has great outdoor spaces and is fully equipped for 2 people. It’s quiet, convenient to bike and hike, and right on the water. Was easy to swim at high tide.
House is clean and well cared for.

Lovely cabin on the inlet
Loved the cabin! Very relaxing location. Watching the tides change the scenery was amazing. Lots of beautiful birds, even got to see a seal one day playing in the inlet! Wish we could have had a campfire, other than that loved everything!

Outstanding cottage in Maine
What an wonderful, quaint little cottage that serves as a great starting point for both North & South Maine destinations. It was even more special due to the personal touch and suggestions from the gracious owner Diane. She helped us avoid the tourist traps and gave us recommendations which allowed us to see some beautiful coastal areas. We enjoyed sitting out each morning & night on the chairs overlooking the Bay to watch a family of eagles, along with seals, enjoying the local fish. It's a very cool place and a must visit for couples looking to explore this special region. Thanks again Diane for making out trip so memorable!

Amazing!
My husband and I stayed for a week to celebrate our anniversary. The cottage is so quaint - just adorable and very comfortable. It’s right on the water and the views are amazing! We enjoyed fishing, kayaking, and looking at the sunset. Harpswell has so many great things to experience - Giant Stairs Trail, Pott’s Point, Popham Beach, numerous hiking trails, and the town of Brunswick. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. Diane was wonderful and gave us great tips about what to do and where to eat. We would love to stay there again!
