    We had great weather for a Thanksgiving holiday stay with spectacular sunrise views from every room, any amenity we could possibly need, the most comfortable beds and easy communication with the host concerning any questions. It was mainly my husband and myself for nine days and two adult daughters who came for the weekends. My son and family live a mile away on the Mountain Rd. and while their home is currently undergoing construction, we got to bring our two grandchildren over here for a few afternoons during their school vacation. Thanks again Sarah for a peaceful vacation!

    Absolutely wonderful! Our first time to Maine and this cottage was perfect! The views were so awesome!! and it's very peaceful and secluded! Plenty room inside and kitchen very well stocked. Main floor bedroom and bathroom made it perfect for my 86 years young Momma!There are some steps going down to the cottage from where you park, but we managed just fine! Harpswell offers plenty of great places to eat lobster rolls!! I highly recommend this sweet cottage!! hope we can plan a return trip next year!!

    The property was just as described. So many hiking trails in the area. Close to everything if you can pull yourself away from the waterfront and relaxing on on of the decks.

    I had a wonderful stay at “Top of the Sea”. The view from the deck and living room was fantastic. I was amazed at how fast the tide comes in and out. My friends who stayed with me for part of my stay were really taken with all the sea birds that they saw. The house is close to Brunswick, which makes it easy to go shopping or to visit some of the local restaurants. The kitchen is well stocked with lots of pots, pans, utensils and dinnerware for those nights when I stayed home. My vacation was the BEST!!! Lee

    Everything about our stay was perfect. Excellent communication, easy check-in and check-out, comfortable beds and linens, well stocked kitchen……and the views!! An amazing stay. Should be noted that if you have mobility issues this may not be the perfect place for you. Many steps to get to the house from where you park your vehicle. There is one bedroom on the first floor and two on the second floor so there are stairs inside as well.

    Our family had a wonderful stay at this house in Harpswell. The location is phenomenal, with a gorgeous view of the water. As often as we could, we had breakfast on the deck, where we watched herons, bald eagles, and ducks on the water. The house was also very well-appointed for our stay, and well taken care of. Recommended very highly!
