Welcome to Tidewatch!
Nestled on the serene shores of Basin Cove, Tidewatch is a charming 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom cottage that perfectly captures the Maine coastal experience. While the back deck sits close enough to the water it invites you to come out and sip your morning coffee, enjoy an evening glass of wine, or dine al fresco at the outdoor table while taking in the scenic views.

Stayed Aug 21, 2022Great 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.

Stayed Jun 24, 2024We 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! ?

Stayed Jul 21, 2023This 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.

Stayed Jun 18, 2023Main 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.

Stayed Aug 27, 2022House had everything you would need. Lots of living space. Bed was the best rental I've ever been in. So comfortable! Only downside would be the tight parking and the tight shower (but the hot water and water pressure was awesome!)

Stayed Aug 7, 2022This was the perfect spot for a quiet getaway for our little family of four. We've loved coming back to this area the past couple years, and this house had everything we needed and more! The house was comfortable, with plenty of living/eating/sleeping space for everyone, and conveniently close to a couple restaurants, ice cream, and all the lovely little scenic spots Harpswell has to offer. Being right on the water made for a very relaxing stay (even with two small children)! Will definitely plan to stay here again!
