Capture the beautiful pink, orange, and purple hues of a Harpswell sunset from this well-appointed 3BR, 2BA ocean view home with a ROW to the sandy/pebbly shores of Middle Bay.

Inside, the afternoon light floods the windows of this beautifully updated home. Guests will enjoy cooking and entertaining in the spacious kitchen, complete with granite countertops, a center island, gas stove, double ovens, and a wet bar, then gathering around the large dining room table for a lobster feast.Relax in the living room accented by the warmth and comfort of the propane fireplace on chilly evenings or retreat to the ocean view deck to take in the sights and sounds of the shore. Off the dining room, you'll find a bedroom with a king bed and TV and on the other side of the home is the primary bedroom with a king bed, TV, and ocean views, opening to a deck. The third bedroom offers one twin bed and one full bed. There are two full bathrooms, both beautifully renovated in 2025, offering tile showers and new vanities. Stackable laundry in closet to the right of the full bath.

Outside, there is a spacious deck, yard, and access to the oceanfront via a ROW, just steps away, perfect for swimming, launching a kayak, or combing the beach for treasures.

Located in a small oceanside neighborhood, you'll enjoy being away from it all, while still being just a short drive from local restaurants and shops including Uncle Pete's Community Market, Dolphin Marina & Restaurant and Erica's Seafood, as well as the many restaurants and shops of Maine Street, Brunswick.

Come experience the way life should be at Sand Dollar Cottage!

    The view- simply spectacular sunrises and sunsets! Cottage is a beautifully decorated and so comfortable and such a cozy place where you can relax and take in the beauty of coastal Maine. Walks on the beach and watching wildfire were daily highlights… then the seafood options nearby!!! Great hiking trails to explore- house has everything needed to cook at home too. We Can’t wait to return!

    Sand Dollar was the perfect getaway! We had a wonderful, relaxing stay and enjoyed our time near the water. We loved walking our dogs every morning on the rocky beach just a few steps away with easy access. Don't miss Erica's Seafood for great lobster rolls and Pammy's ice cream parlor for a sweet treat! My one piece of advice is to use the GPS coordinates and not the actual address if you are using google maps to get there. We ended up on the wrong road and couldn't find the house before we checked in. Otherwise, everything was seamless and the house was comfortable and well appointed.

    The location was beautiful. The outside could have been cleaner as well as the dust dog hair and cobwebs . The couch needs to be professionally cleaned. Cabinets are full of stuff left from previous guests very disorganized.

    What a wonderful place to stay! It was perfect. The cleanliness, communication, access to all things, preparation for a warm Maine stay, and more. It was the best choice. The views were spectacular. It was great to be back in the neighborhood and see the friendly neighbors. I would 100% stay here again. Thank you!

    We loved our week at the Sand Dollar! The place was clean, comfortable beds, well appointed kitchen, with beautiful windows to take in the wonderful views! This location is an easy drive to Portland (1 hour), Freeport, Boothbay (45 min), Rockland, Rockport and Camden (1 hour), and we took advantages of it all! Our hosts provided great communication and were very responsive. We would come again!

    House was very spacious and well equipped. Everything you need, especially for the kitchen. Comfortable beds, wonderful view of the cove and access to the beach is convenient. AC in the bedrooms came in handy during some unusually hot,humid weather. Easy access to Brunswick.

    We enjoyed everything about this home. The only problem was the check in information was incorrect and I ended up having to climb through an unlocked window to get inside. The directions indicated the key was under the mat….not. Once inside we got the door code and all was fine from there on.
