Waterfront Family Bungalow on Beautiful Potts Harbor
About this cottage rental
Located in Harpswell, this lovely cottage for $165 per night is a great option for your next trip. Step out of the stress of everyday life and into this little bit of paradise. This family owned cottage is attached to the larger private home. It is located at the end of a peninsula, with water views from most rooms. A self contained, 882 square foot, two level apartment with private entrances, is the perfect solution to expensive rentals not easily afforded during the present economic climate. Casually elegant, this recently renovated 1927 summer home is a blend of old world charm and modern conveniences. Each bedroom is lined with windows, affording views of passing lobster boats, changing tides, and gorgeous sunsets. An open concept living area and kitchenette provide all the conveniences necessary for comfortable living. You can spend time sitting on the deck, overlooking the rocky Maine shore, or hop in the car and drive to nearby Boothbay Harbor, Old Orchard Beach, the outlet town of Freeport, or Pemaquid Point. In close proximity there are many venues for kayaking, boating, whale watches, and excursions, so you can be as busy as you please, or just idle, enjoying the cool summer breezes and breath taking water views. So, come and see us. Take a deep breath of the fresh clean Maine air. Walk the quiet, picturesque streets, lined with beautiful old family homes, eat lots of lobster and once again, enjoy life. You deserve it! Keywords: Summer Cottage

Beautiful area. Quaint cottage. Loved watching the tide come in and recede. About 50 minute drive to Portland. Quiet and beautiful nature all around this property.

This little cottage is awesome. It is well outfitted with all you need. The bed in the bedroom was very comfortable. The sofa bed in the living room not so much but no sofabeds are very comfy. My husband was sick so I let him have the bedroom for a coupe of days. The view is amazing! You are literally steps from the ocean. The property is a little more remote than I expected. We arrived after dark in the rain and it felt like we were at the end of the earth, but daylight revealed lots of neighbors. You go to the end of the hard road and go 3 miles or so further on a private gravel road that looks like a driveway. There is Uncle Pete's convenience store a few miles up the hard road but you might want to stop for groceries in the city. There was a coffee maker and a Keurig type. There was some decaf Folgers in the cabinet and filters but no pods so you might want to bring your own. The place was absolutely spotless with plenty of extra paper products. The caretakers Barb and Ed were not onsite 24/7 but they lived down the road and were there every day. They were AWESOME, extremely friendly and helpful both on the phone and in person. This is great place to rest, relax and recover in your own personal cottage by the sea. We highly recommend it.

The views were amazing! We felt so comfortable and happy with the location. The only downside might be that the water was very hard. Otherwise, it was a great location and we made some beautiful family memories.

Cozy bungalow in an absolutely stunning location. The views from the windows and back yard and gorgeous. The proximity to Pott's Point made for great walks and tide pooling. Mattresses are harder than what we are accustomed to but were manageable for our short stay.

The location was wonderful. The place itself was very dated and bed mattresses were very uncomfortable. I felt as though there was little privacy and most of the blinds were broken. It was a difficult check in, most of the people on the property where very confused and little help. We had to receive help from the other couple staying there to get in. They did supply most of the stuff we could need in the house. Location was fantastic and beautiful, nice relaxing area. We really enjoyed our stay, just not the nicest place.

Enjoyed our stay. The view of the house from the front is smaller looking than picture. Back of house looks just like pictures. Great view. Excellent place to sit to watch the sun come down. Inside house is great. Could use some air fresheners.

The property we rented for a week was exactly as described on the Vrbo listing. Lovely views from everywhere inside and outside. Indeed gorgeous sunsets or beautiful gray skies. Harpswell is a quiet, authentic and beautiful peninsula. We really enjoy our experience.

We genuinely enjoyed our stay in the comfortable and quaint home by the water! The only extra amenities I would have appreciated were shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste and coffee creamer to be included considering the price of the rental. Thank you!

Harpswell is a small community at the end of a peninsula. This property is two houses from the end of the road and right on the water. You can walk down to the end of the road and be surrounded on three sides by water. The lodgings were comfortable, clean and peaceful. Don't forget to check out the amazing breakfast sandwiches at Uncle Pete's Community Market on Harpswell Neck Road.

The location of this rental can't be beat. The views were so amazing that we ended up eating in for most of our meals, in fact the suggestion our hosts made, for lobster rolls at Gurnet trading became our go-to for many meals, great scallops too! We enjoyed a day in Brunswick and lots of time on Bailey Island, the Giant Stairs was a beautiful walk. Wish we had booked a boat tour of the area in advance as all were booked up, but we'll be back.

This was my third time staying here as it's such a perfect spot, especially gazing at the sunsets while gently rocking in the rocking chairs! So peaceful and relaxing.

Potts Point - worth the trip
This is a great spot for a couple or a small family and is in a special quiet place with other cottages. The owners were on site - not intrusive, very helpful. This not a very fancy place. It was comfortable and well equipped. The queen bed is fine, and with windows looking out on the bay, a great place of wake up to the sound of waves. The seating consists of a sofa and rocking chair with a dining table for 4 plus a screened in area for dining or sitting as well. It is comfortable to hangout if the weather is not cooperating.
You are about 15 miles from Brunswick. There is a small convenience store close by for essentials and there are a couple of restaurants across the bay. Pammy’s Ice Cream is worth at least one stop. Harpswell has a nice selections of hikes nearby the cottage. The bay looks great for kayaking if you are into that. The sunsets are fantastic from the chairs on the sea wall. It is short walk to the tiny Potts Point Preserve which is worth visiting more than once.
We rarely stay at the same VRBO more than once but I think we will be back to this one.

Communication and Check in was seamless. The location was perfect for us -- we needed to be able to get to Brunswick easily for a weekend-full of Bowdoin College graduation events, and we also wanted easy access to water and to water views when we were not otherwise in Brunswick. The cottage is simple and comfortable with stunning ocean and sunset views from both bedrooms. The property owners live in the main house and are delightful and accommodating. We will be back.

My friend and I were looking for a quaint, quiet, quintessential New England vacation and this place was perfect!! It is full of old New England charm, located on a very quiet (and somewhat remote) and peaceful peninsula, and is literally right on the water! Waking up to only the sound of the waves gently lapping the shore, drinking coffee on the deck and watching the boats go by, amazing sunsets, walking along the rocky beach...a perfect way to relax and unwind! Would definitely recommend and hope to return!!

Very enjoyable stay. Only comment is that the kitchen does not have an oven but does have a toaster oven, microwave, and top burners.

We loved staying at this beautiful location. The hosts were truly wonderful and so kind. Evenings watching the sunset over the cove were priceless. Waking up to the sound of the waves gently rolling over the rocks was truly magical. Margaret is the true definition of joy! We will back soon!

We loved this adorable property. We loved it from the time we got there. Anything and everything was available for our needs. All beds very comfortable. Always a nice breeze to cool is off after a hot day!! We loved walking along the shore of the ocean. The view and exploring all the islands and peninsulas was a great part of journey for us. The flowers on the peninsulas were amazing. We are already planning when we should book for another visit. Thank everyone so much you are an A+ to us.

It was located in beautiful setting with fantastic views of the waters, the sunsets were fantastic like a painting. The cottage was bigger than expected from pictures. We walked on the beaches,collected shells, rocks,etc. How great to breakfast and see waves rolling towards the cottage. Would definitely like to return to walk some of local trails.
