Spectacular Oceanfront Estate with Beautiful Sunsets on 8 acres

One of the best rentals we’ve experienced. We loved the house and property. The hosts have clear instructions and labels for everything which make it easy to use.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the big house. We had everything we needed, well stocked kitchen, charming space to spread out, kayaks, swimming dock, playset and beach area suitable for our grand daughters, and beautiful spot to enjoy the water and sunsets.

Susan and Ned's property in Harpswell is incredible, from outside to inside. Our two families of four (4 adults, 4 kids) had plenty of space and were very comfortable. The Big House has everything you need and is spacious, functional, and pleasant. The cliffs, field, and shared dock are magical for spending lots of time outside. We have stayed in three properties in Harpswell and other properties further north in Maine on the coast, and the Big House was the best by a long shot. We loved it and hope to return next year!

Absolutely fantastic stay at magnificent house despite cold and rainy weather. The house offered a great location for all ages of family and friends that attended. The views are even more beautiful than what we saw online. The kitchen was very functional for preparing extensive celebration meals. Great secluded oceanfront location - highly recommended!

This is a beautifully decorated and comfortable house with plenty of space for a family gathering. The kitchen is very well-equipped. We would love to stay again!

We spent a weekend at the big house in mid-November celebrating a milestone family birthday. We live not too far away so are familiar with the area...but even so were blown away by this property. The photos don't quite do it justice, if you can believe it- the house itself is so beautiful and well-cared for. It's obvious that people have thought lovingly about each room. The great room is a perfect gathering place with a cozy wood stove, the kitchen has everything in it you'd ever want to actually cook (no cheap, flimsy knives here!), and the mattresses and bedding in each of the bedrooms were to die for. We loved the way the house was set back from the water, with the lawn rolling down to the shore and its little trails along the hill. We had the best weekend and are so grateful to have been able to spend time in that beautiful spot. Can't wait to come back :). This is a perfect house to spend time in in any season- summer would be amazing, but so would a snowstorm!

My family and I rent homes often for 1 week each summer. This house was far and above the nicest. We thoroughly enjoyed the deck, screened in porch and beautiful grounds. There were beautiful places to take small hikes and great places to have lobster or other seafood. We enjoyed Dolphins and the Schoolhouse restaurant. When cooking at home everything was so delightfully organized . . Susan and Ned were so readily available with any questions.

We stayed at the big house with an extended family group and had a great week. This house has plenty of room for everyone to spread out and relax. The kitchen is big and bright and very well stocked.

Everyone loved the private beach, grounds and dock. Spacious enough for our large group and a well stocked kitchen.

We had a memorable week and marked a special birthday at this wonderful spot.The historic house is charming, amenity rich and situated on a beautiful property. We loved the garden, the grounds and the many different sites to explore on site. The kitchen is superbly equipped. We love to cook and found everything you could want - from spices to pots, small appliances, utensils, etc. We stayed in the Big House and had plenty of room for everyone to be together and find a quiet nook to be alone. Susan was very responsive and got right back to us if we asked for advice. During a heat wave Susan offered additional fans as the house doesn't have A/C. We were comfortable. We rented the Big House (BH), which shares a great dock and beach with two other cottages on site. During our stay, another cottage had an even larger number of guests than our group of 6. The only advice to offer is that renters might want to enquire about the size of other parties renting the same week on the property in case sharing beach and dock priviledges is a concern. It worked well for our group as everyone was congenial. We'd love to return to this house and to Harpswell. Having the lobster pound a short walk away made it even more magical!

Super stay at our son’s graduation weekend.
