About this property

Classic Maine cottage set on its own peninsula with stunning views

Uniquely set on its own peninsula, rests this classic Maine Cottage offering meticulously maintained grounds, a ramp and float for easy water access, and a beautiful in-ground waterside pool for hours of fun for adults and kids alike! Expansive lawns, gardens, and a wrap-around porch offer endless opportunities for gathering with family and friends to enjoy the ocean view and salty air.

 Inside the cottage, you'll open the door to a large entry way with views past the dining and living room to a lovely ocean view. To the left of the entry way is a kitchen with all you need to cook a delicious meal with family and friends and there is a lovely, sunlit sitting area for company. Past the kitchen, is a large dining and living area with seating for 10 and down one level is another great spot for all to gather. Sliding glass doors line the living areas, opening to an expansive wrap-around porch. Imagine a beautiful, sunny summer morning with all the doors open, welcoming the sea breeze throughout the house, and stepping outside to enjoy a cup of coffee or tea listening to the birds sing and the kayakers and lobster boats pass by. Then, after breakfast, jumping in the refreshing inground pool or launching your kayaks, and spending the day exploring, swimming, and relaxing by the sea.

Wonderfully located in Cundy's Harbor, you'll love exploring this sweet fishing village while being just 10 minutes from Brunswick for groceries, shopping, restaurants, and more. Just down the road, is Holbrook's Wharf & Grill and Watson's General Store for a delicious meal and shopping. 

Come enjoy all Island Time has to offer and we promise this remarkable home will beckon you back for years to come!

Dogs are welcome at Island Time (a non-refundable pet fee applies).

Another wonderful stay at Island Time!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family enjoyed our 2nd stay at Island Time and already looking ahead to next year! The amazing water views from just about every single room are beautiful! The sprawling lawn & lovely landscaping offer such beauty topping off the total experience. The house is very spacious and so nicely decorated . We rented kayaks from Seaspray Kayaks , swam in the pool, used the grill for many of our meals (kitchen is well stocked w/all pots , pans & utensils needed). Just a super home & can’t wait to return! Thank you Island Time!

Scenic Peace and Quiet, Together with Privacy

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was gigantic and incredibly well-appointed with a 240 degree view of the Casco Bay. So many indoor and outdoor sitting spaces including a sunroom built into the kitchen. Porch time was everyone's favorite and we absolutely saw the lobstermen/person checking their traps right in front. Kayaking off the dock was incredible. Because the house is so large, the space works best for a multigenerational family that wants a combination of together time and privacy. We celebrated my mother's 80th birthday and it was a time for all to remember. In addition to raving about the property, I cannot say enough good things about Marcy and Darcie from MaineStay vacations. They provide clear instructions, are incredibly responsive, and yet relaxed and generous. It helps that they are local and know all of the best local businesses and spots. Much better than VRBO or AirBNB!

A lovely property for our family get together, in a spectacular location. Would definitely stay here again. The only problem is that our time in Island Time passed far too quickly !

September Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of 7 plus a young baby had the most wonderful time visiting Island Time in Harpswell. From morning coffees to evening happy hours, the wraparound deck provided the most relaxing venue. We had plenty of fun kayaking, exploring the grounds, taking a dip in the pool, and enjoying family time together in the most gorgeous setting. House was clean with everything we needed for cooking in and making the most of our stay. We look forward to returning next year!

Wonderful Week!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family vacation at Island Time was relaxing and restful. We are a family of seven adults and two young children under five, and we had plenty of space. The beautiful grounds include a pool, a dock, sprawling lawns and perennial gardens which overlook the water. The porch gave us plenty of room to enjoy morning coffee and afternoon drinks. The lawns provided ample space for several games. We kayaked and paddle boarded from the dock. The adult children noted this was one of their favorite vacations, and the grandchildren didn't want to leave the pool. We hope to return to this special place next year.

Perfect Retreat

The house itself was gorgeous and came with everything one needs for a large group. Plenty of space, seating, and cooking implements in the kitchen. The grounds were beautiful with all of the landscaping, the pool, wrap around porch and natural views.

Lovely property, charming house

This rental has everything you could want for a Maine vacation. Gorgeous water views surround the house, huge interior to spread out with a larger group (we had eight people, including four teenagers, and never felt on top of each other), easy ramp down to the water for the kayaks we rented, and we were able to access a nice hike and lobster dinner within a 15 minute drive. Property managers were extremely responsive for the few issues that came up during our stay.
