Classic oceanfront cottage and cabin on stunning 8 acres with sunset water views

The cottage was the perfect getaway for our group of friends. The kitchen had every tool, pot, or pan you need which we really appreciated. The view is truly incredible! We really enjoyed the fire pit, swimming, and kayaking. The hosts were so kind. We made some really special memories here, my boyfriend (now fiancée) actually proposed on the dock. He said as soon as we walked on the property he knew he wanted to propose here- haha! We can’t wait to visit again in the future. Our only complaint is that we couldn’t stay longer. I couldn’t recommend this property more.

Susan and Ned couldn't have been nicer, while also respecting our privacy. We had an unforgettable stay in a gorgeous, meticulously cared for place. It was 3 generations of our family - including our 97 year old Mom - who reveled in sitting on the chaise in the screened in porch enjoying the amazing water view. Coming from the Mountains of Colorado - it was magical to feel right on the water in this lovely cottage. Thanks!

Super gracious hosts, and a perfect Maine cabin. Everything feels classic and charming, but also clean and appropriately updated. Very well appointed.

Wonderful location and very well set up, we were there for a family wedding nearby and everybody loved the location.Ned and Susan are very nice people and were more than accommodating.Thanks again for helping to make great family memories.

What a great property! Ned and Susan are wonderful hosts .

This property delivered the quintessential Maine coastal cabin experience we were hoping for—and more. Perfectly suited for our group of nine, it offered ample space without sacrificing charm or comfort. The rustic elegance and thoughtful layout made it easy to gather together while still enjoying moments of quiet and solitude. The setting is truly idyllic, with sweeping views and the kind of coastal atmosphere that defines Coastal Maine living. From the gentle sound of the water to the smell of the pines, every detail contributed to an unforgettable stay. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an authentic and spacious retreat on the Maine coast.

The location and property were phenomenal! Susan and Ned checked in with us numerous times to be sure we had what we needed. Gave great restaurant and things to do recommendations. The home is cozy and we enjoyed a fire in the evenings. The home is stocked with everything you could need. Truly an enjoyable experience.

It’s a beautiful property

Our family, consisting of 5 adults and 5 boys with ages spread neatly from 3 through 9 years, rented this sweet cottage and binnacle on Casco Bay for our annual family reunion in July. Ned and Susan's cottage is by far the best stocked place we have ever rented, and we've rented quite a few. The cottage's age and decor make it so charming, and yet it has been updated with all the high-end conveniences. Ned and Susan were very accommodating, meeting us on arrival and showing us around the property. Harpswell is a lovely spot. We enjoyed walking to Morse's food truck for lobster rolls and Henry Allen's Seafood Market to buy our own live 'n kickin' lobsters. They were so close we could almost swim there. But mostly, the adults enjoyed lounging on the screened porch watching the lobster boats come and go. Our boys enjoyed skipping rocks and catching little crabs on the beach, jumping off the dock, playing soccer and lacrosse on the lawn, and giggling in the outdoor shower. Summer as it should be!

This is one of a small handful of the very nicest places we've ever stayed, anywhere. We were six adults and three small children, staying for a week in July. The setting is idyllic--beautiful and private. (You share the dock, beach, etc. with other guests, but we rarely saw them.) The weather was hot, except at the house, which is on the water and stayed perfectly comfortable. We never used the A.C. The Cottage is a delight--very charming, rustic but well-kept and well-furnished. High quality furniture, indoors and out. Comfortable for all of us (we used the Binnacle for one of the couples and their 16-month-old--a bit crowded, with the crib, but, again, very charming). We mosty cooked. Kitchen is complete, with quality cookware and utensils. The Corner Market (5 min drive) has beautiful produce, baked goods, meats and basic essentials. Fresh lobsters and crabs, and lobster rolls, fried clams, etc. a short walk away. There's great fresh fish to be had in several places within 15-20 min. The grounds are gorgeous. Nice nature walks nearby. Susan and Ned are wonderful hosts. A total hit!
