Unique Waterfront Experience

Authentic look at the Lobster industry and beautiful views of the bay.

Beautiful perfect location . Amazing views . Captain Jim’s sunset cruise was amazing ! We highly recommend!

Awesome house and hosts

This was a truly memorable and fantastic experience. The house was perfect for our large family and watching the lobster boats come and go was super cool. We loved our ride on the boat and especially the fireworks show. We took advantage of fresh lobsters and made good use of the lobster pot! Lots to explore on the islands and an overall perfect vacation. Definitely worthy of a repeat stay!

The home was spacious and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed the sights and sounds of the working harbor and reversing falls right from the back deck of the house. We gained a real appreciation for the hard work watermen put in each day. From bait harvest to lobster distribution, and impressive boat handling, you get to see it all. Away from the Lobster Pound, there were plenty of nice hiking trails nearby. We also did not go hungry with the fun lunch and dinner spots throughout Harpswell (and its islands) and nearby Brunswick. Lastly, the friendly sunset cruise with Capt. Jim topped it all off. We lucked into a ride on the tuna boat, and had great conversation, gawked at seals and waterfowl, and enjoyed our wine and cheese until sunset.

Just as we remembered. This was our 4th visit and over the last thirteen years. Just hope it doesn’t take as long to get back there

Jim and Sara were great. We had lots of room, the location was great and we loved going out in the bay with Jim. Highly recommend this location. Hope to go back!

The experience was exactly as listed and the hosts were very helpful. Would go back for sure.

Grateful to Sara and Jim for a wonderful stay at the Captain’ house. Great property

I want to start off by saying that Jim and Sarah are absolutely the most sweet and welcoming hosts you could ask for, true hospitality! If you are looking for an unforgettable experience on the coast of Maine, and really want to see the workings of a lobster wharf, this is the place for you! Not only is it in a gorgeous location but it’s definitely interesting to learn about the lobstering and fishing community. My husband and our dog and two friends from Florida stayed here during the week of Fourth of July and got to see fireworks from the back of a lobster boat, (wow!) we also got to see them bring in an almost 500 pound tuna! If you’re a fisherman and love the ocean, this is the ideal location. It’s also convenient to so many things, grocery stores, shopping, local art galleries, hiking, etc. We felt truly welcome and had such a great week. Harpswell is gorgeous and inspiring, thank you again Jim and Sarah!

We loved our stay at Sara & Jim’s house. The experience I felt was the true Maine. We were able to see lobster boats come & go. Harpswell had plenty of beautiful trails to explore. My kids loved exploring the tide pools & exploring the beaches. We traveled to Portland, Kittery Point, Old orchard beach, Freeport, Boothbay& etc. we were able to get to most places within a hour or a little longer. We bought fresh lobsters several nights from Sara. We were able to go on a boat ride & see the beautiful coast line! The house was very spacious & had everything we needed, We are already starting to plan our next trip because we miss it already. A great place all around!!
