Charming cottage on Basin Cove just a short drive to the Dolphin Marina

Great location, close to trails, tourist sites, restaurants, even local farms selling eggs, meat, vegetables. The shower is on the small size and will be uncomfortable for anyone who is on the larger size. Don't expect AC or a dishwasher. But otherwise the cottage is comfortable, with opportunities for star gazing by its fire pit.

Spent 5 nights here while my house down the coast was being renovated. I have stayed at many rentals and this was undoubtedly the best. The galley kitchen is a bit tight but there is everything one could want or need. The bedrooms are neat, clean and comfortable. There is a family room as well as a large living room overlooking the Basin. We were especially fortunate that the tides were in our favor and we got plenty of time to enjoy the view. Shower is small but we had enough water at good pressure for daily showers.The house is equipped with a water cooler if well water isn't something you're used to. Don't expect treated public water in Harpswell or many other locations in Maine. Driveway accommodates 2 cars but is not overly wide and the proximity to the street demands caution when backing out. All in all Tidewatch is a comfortable, pleasant retreat with all the amenities one might need. I would recommend it to anyone!

We were at Tidewatch cottage for a long weekend from Quebec. Everything was exactly as described. Very clean and the ajustable bed mattress in the Master bedroom was a nice surprise! Thanks

Had difficulty with the front door locking.Was not happy that all the windows were unlocked.Small parking space should be noted on website.Found black mold on the shower curtain - purchased cleaner and took care of ourselves.

This is a lovely cottage with a great view and includes everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing vacation. The description is accurate.

We like the cove because it is so peaceful, this cottage fit the bill quite nicely

We really enjoyed our stay, it is a cute little cottage style house, on the water. The location was perfect because it was centralized around our family and the places we like to eat. Will definitely rent this place again! 🙂

This place is super cute. The water does smell a bit like the ocean but they do provide separate drinking water and the tide does go in and out - the title of the property is fitting. Overall this was a cute place to stay with a lovely view - be careful backing out of the driveway though, people zoom down that road.

Very quiet and peaceful by the Cove. Was nice to see the tide come in and out. Lots of local information available. The cottage was nice and clean and easy to find.

Cute camp. Nice view and close to lobster shack and other restaurants. Relaxing stay.

Main problem was running out of water. Not until we arrived were we warned about low water in the well, so one shower per day for one of us. when the water did work it smelled like a swamp. Also, don't be fooled by the pictures of the inlet. Only at high tide are you not looking out at 300 yards of mud. Those stairs that imply that they lead to the beach actually lead to a jungle of eelgrass and junk. We have been renting on this site for over 20 years and this is the first time that we left two nights early in order to return to civilization.
