Shady Potts Point Cottage Cooled by Ocean Breezes
About this house rental
Situated in Harpswell, this attractive house for $200 per night is a fantastic option for your next trip. Quaint, old fashioned and lovely cottage, shaded by huge trees and cooled by off-shore breezes in historic Potts Point.

Was just as advertised. Beautiful views of the bay. A bit removed from civilization but that was what we needed. Loved the porch.

cute cottage near the water. my only complaint was the rules on the garbage during checkout. we were expected to carry the garbage and recyclables a few miles to the local transfer station. unfortunately, it was closed on the last 2 days of our visit.

Last minute long weekend getaway with the kids. It was absolutely perfect! Cottage had everything anyone could need or want and was very clean and welcoming. Truly felt like home away from home! Absolutely loved the short walk to Potts Point Preserve where we were so lucky to witness a breathtaking sunset. Was a short and scenic drive to the Desert of Maine in Freeport, which was a great time as well! Can’t wait to do it again next year! Best part for me, as a busy mom with 3 kids, was getting to sit in the lovely glassed in porch and read a book - dream come true!

Very quiet area this time of year. It was super peaceful with little to no traffic. If you want to unplug from city living it is a great place. The sunroom is comfortable. TV is just DVD's, so you need to be ready for quiet or really like movies. Great views even in the fog. Have a rental car and be ready to drive. Best stop is Pammy's for Ice Cream...nicest people in the world own this little shop down the street.

Sisters and friends get together every year at this time. Wonderful location. We walked to Pott's Point, ate lobster rolls AND cooked lobster. People so friendly. Cottage clean and we loved both the front porch and the sunny screened porch for our morning coffee. Lovely!

Very well appointed cottage, close to water access in lovely area of Harpswell, ME. Lots to see and do nearby (kids will be happy on the nearby beach and the cottage has toys, games and videos.) Adults can enjoy local preserve trails, boat ramp is close, or just sit on the lovely front porch and relax. Several local eating places or everything necessary to prepare meals onsite. Perfect spot from which to experience the Maine coast.

Perfect for families who want to slow down and relax on vacation. The cottage is so welcoming and very comfortable - it’s like staying at a old friend’s house. One day the biggest decision was where to relax - rocking on the porch, swinging in the hammock, or lounging in the sunroom (this tired mom managed to enjoy all 3!). Especially appreciate all the toys, games and puzzles - perfect for a rainy day - kept the kids occupied (with no arguing) all day! The area is perfect for exploring - we spent a few hours at Potts Point and Seaglass Beach. Thank you for sharing such a special place. We will be back soon - wish we hadn’t stayed away so long!

This was our family’s second stay at Molly’s sweet cottage. It has been maintained very well over its many years, and provides the perfect setting for a weeklong getaway in one of our favorite places. We would love to return again, soon!

We like to cook when we are together and the kitchen had all we needed to help put together what we had brought with us. The porch was our go to place. Lovely, even in the rain.
5.0
This is a very special cottage that combines the authentic Maine cottage feeling of the past with the convenience of more modern comforts in the kitchen. There is a great view of the water from the front porch, and a light and airy sunroom that brings the outside inside. The location is close to rocky beaches, and not too far from delightful shopping experiences. We loved it!
5.0
This was our third visit to Molly's delightful family home. We look to stay in charming, unfussy and classic homes wherever we go, and this lovely, homey cottage fits the bill. We love exploring the area, finding new beaches, delicious food trucks and snack shacks, and short hikes to do with the kiddies. Speaking of, our children won't let us stay anywhere else, they just love the "toy house!" Thank you for opening your doors to us Vermonters!

This house is exactly as listed. The host is very easy to work with. Has a real Maine feel to it. A great place to walk around as well.
5.0
This charming house with a beautiful, remote location was such a wonderful place to unwind. With a fishing pier nearby and gorgeous views on long beach walks, this was amazing. Molly's place was clean, cozy, and cannot forget to mention the oceanview sunroom. Cannot wait to return.

Couldn't have asked for a better location. It was extremely windy due to a hurricane east of Maine bound for Canada but that's not the fault of the cottage. The puzzels were great! The beds were comfortable. We didn't spend much time in the cottage as we were in town for a wedding.

Great views of the water. Fun to walk on the beach at the end of the street at low tide. Needed to drive about 20 minutes for any services. (Except for the great ice cream stand that was 10 minutes away!)

Beautiful location
Great week in S. Harpswell. The cottage was cozy and comfortable. We loved reading on the front porch with view of the ocean. It was great having Pott's Point within a short walk. Great for finding beautiful beach rocks. Kitchen well stocked with what we needed for cooking, etc. Would definitely like to return!

Pottery and yarn shopping
This property allows us to do day trips to pottery shops and yarns shops out of our home area. We also enjoy the town of Damariscotta for lots of shopping and eating! Miles Thrift Shop is also a great spot. This property is very comfortable with a great sunroom and front porch. Quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors.

House and location were charming. Felt like we were out in the ocean. Lilacs we’re in bloom and air was so fragrant. Beach at end of road was cool. Didn’t get to sea glass beach. Would love to return with more time one night is not enough.

My husband and I had a great time staying at this cozy little beach property in Harpswell! It’s actually huge in person, and the sun room is incredible. We loved the porch and how friendly everyone was! Definitely recommend!

Comfort with character
Molly and Marcus were excellent hosts and the online description is spot on. While the cottage shows some signs of its age, this translates mostly to an abundance of character. The outside space and sunroom were our favorites—nice attention to lighting in the latter (night and day), and the front porch and side yard offered comfortable seating, a hammock, badminton and fire pit for a very relaxing stay. We’d book again.
5.0
What a fantastic house! My friends and I loved having drinks on the porch and watching the boats in the bay. The only complaint we really had was not having a store nearby (no fault of the house or owner!) If you plan to stay here make sure you hit the grocery store in Brunswick before you head down. We did not rent a car so getting anything was tough. However, instalation DOES deliver with a $5 distance fee.

First time
We had a wonderful stay. It was a bit confusing as to which side of the street the house was on., but otherwise it was exactly as described. We can’t wait to go back again!
4.0
The property was beautiful, however we were only able to stay one night. Molly was very kind throughout the process and refunded our second night. She let us know about an hour before we arrived that the water pressure was very low. We were unable to shower and the house smelled of gas when we went to cook breakfast. The location was absolutely beautiful, so it was disappointing we couldn't stay the full time!
