Enjoy a true Midcoast Maine getaway at this Casco Bay home. Boasting water views and beach access with boat ramps just steps away, this two-bedroom escape is the perfect choice for a family holiday. Take in the views from the private deck, or head down to the beach and public pier for some fun on the water.

Incredibly beautiful setting. A few small issues

Stunning views from the deck and through the large back windows. Great updated appliances. Saggy worn mattress and pillows were problematic. Beautiful site requires well water so suggest you buy several gallons for drinking

Fantastic house in great location, but hard to connect with property manager (Vacasa) re. issues

This house is absolutely beautiful, quite well appointed, in a stunning location, and so comfortable and roomy. I hate to give it 4 stars instead of 5, but the lack of the final star is because we had some maintenance issues which were not addressed through the management company (washing machine stuck on error code so not working, locked thermostat so we were cold at night in bedrooms and bathrooms), and an intense sulphur smell in the water - and though I texted Vacasa per their instructions on the arrival text we received (which got no response even after 24 hours), and then tried calling the local maintenance number listed in the guidebook (where there was no answer or ability to leave a message), it was only when I called the main Vacasa number before checkout that I reached someone who said they would get on this stuff after we left (we only were there 2 days). So I think it is probably more of a management issue than a property/owner issue, and I hope they get it resolved because the place is overall awesome! I would hope to come back some day!

Beautiful property and area. We had one small issue but the owners/manager were VERY responsive and went over the top to make sure our stay was enjoyable. I would definitely return.

One-Story Gem On The Water

Beautiful outside vistas in every direction. Well appointed inside with everything we needed. We appreciated the no shoes on inside policy, but a bench at the entry would be helpful. Convenient to Bowdoin.

A very enjoyable stay...

This home is within a mile of close relatives; making it so convenient for visiting. Use of the garage was a huge plus as it rained most of the first couple of days. House was spacious, well stocked, spotless, and easy to access via a ramp, if needed, right off of the driveway. Great water views,and lots of waterfowl action. Not one complaint from anyone about anything. We thank you!

Great Place to Stay

This house is great! Just like the other reviews, the view was absolutely stunning. The house was comfortable and welcoming. My preschooler keeps asking us about when we can return to “our Maine house”. I think it left a favorable impression on him. We would happily stay here again in the future.

Balm for the spirit

The house was sparkling clean. We enjoyed our brief stay , reading supervising the tides coming and going. It was quiet and peaceful. We would definitely stay again we enjoyed the privacy the location offered, not far from town and amenities.

Spectacular

Couldn't find a single thing to complain about. From the location to the amenities everything was perfect. The host is wonderful in every aspect. The town its self and the surrounding as well is an absolute pleasure to explore. If you want to escape the hustle and bustle of your busy life, this is the house and town to do it in.

This was an ideal spot to relax, entertain and explore mid coast Maine. The house worked great for our family and the views from the deck were very relaxing and wonderful.

Spacious & modern with a stunning view

This house was perfect from location to décor. Whether in the mood for a walk around a college town or the experience of a waterside lobster shack, this house has it all. My husband and I were able to work all day without issue and enjoy the evenings in a variety of Brunswick and Harpswell restaurants. Booking process was simple and efficient start to finish. We will absolutely visit again!
