Located 25' from the water's edge it is the perfect refuge for those looking to get away for vacation. Whether it is the quiet serenity of a morning sunrise, evening moon rise, or sitting on the house deck viewing bald eagles, ospreys, seals, loons, or sea gulls the view is always in tune with mother nature. Morningside has large interior windows from the ground floor and 2nd floor "OPEN LOFT". These eastern windows give every area of the home great views of the inlets and coves of Quahog Bay.

The house on Gun Point Road has beautiful views from almost every room. It's just gorgeous. We didn't want to leave. There are a few steps to the first floor, then one Queen bedroom on the first floor, in case someone in your party has trouble with stairs. The house was immaculate, beds were all comfortable, towels and linens were provided. The house is about 20 minutes away from Downtown Brunswick, an easy drive to get dinner or attend an activity. We were hoping we could kayak, but off-season they aren't provided. We called an adventure company to took a kayak tour, but unfortunately, they never returned the call. Recommend calling ahead if you want to do things in the off-season. There are a few restaurants that are open off-season, but many of then either only open for dinner or lunch. Or open only Thursday - Sunday. We ate at Josh's twice while we were there. The Seafood Chowder was excellent, service was great. That said, we loved the house so much that we ate most of our meals there. The host was wonderful to work with and very quick to respond. There are quite a few hiking trails, and the Escape Room was a lot of fun. There is a really neat General Store on the way into Brunswick that had almost everything we needed.

This is an excellent property that lives up to its name with truly serene and stunning sunrises. Tucked away on a beautiful, little bay, there are plenty of scenic areas to explore within a short drive in all directions.

David curated a wonderful experience for folks looking to stay in Maine out of Portland, and by the water. Well equipped kitchen & house, on the water, and an excellent host!

We really enjoyed our stay at Morningside. It was a very peaceful and private location right on Gun Point Cove. The house is exactly as pictured. Felt very much like we were in a cool treehouse with a view of the water. The house was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The balcony was our favorite spot, where we spent hours watching the water and feeling the gentle ocean breeze. It was the perfect setting for sipping my morning coffee and unwinding with a glass of wine in the evening. If looking for a quiet, peaceful retreat, I would recommend this place.

We had a great week staying at Morningside. The house and deck were great and the view was incredible. Very private and quiet area. The kitchen was well-equipped. The beds were comfortable. The open sleeping area on the second floor wasn’t ideal, but worked okay for us.

Nice place right on the water. Two of the bedrooms were upstairs with no privacy between them so just know that. Beautiful views and well stocked with games, books, etc. Kitchen needs updated and silverware was rusted. Still, overall, a nice place to see the Maine coast.
