About this property

Stylish Treetop Loft with Balcony and Ocean Views

This brand new modern, one bedroom is perched in the trees for tidal views of the ocean and plenty of wildlife. This open-concept space was designed with simplicity while maintaining elegance and style. The sunny space is custom designed with oversize windows, eat-in bar overlooking the trees and distant views of the bay. Relax on the balcony with your favorite beverage while enjoying nature's show of osprey and eagle fishing, seals frolicking, and glowing sunsets.

This loft was just built with a modern open concept design, and 600 square feet of well utilized space. The loft space is accessed via a private door to a stairway. The garage space below is utilized by the owners for storage, and a bathroom for the waterfront tiny "glamp" house located on the water's edge. The cottage can be rented along with the loft apartment as two units for family and friends traveling together. There is also a luxury, 2-bedroom cottage on the water that is available for rent. Inquire for more information!

The loft offers high-end appliances, including a Ninja blender for drinks and smoothies, glass top stove, Cuisinart knife block, and non-stick cookware. The luxury bathroom has radiant heat flooring and a custom tiled rain head shower with a granite seat. The king bed is a top-rated Puffy Lux with quality pillows and linens.

Located on the northern side of the quant fishing town of Harpswell, it is centrally located for quick access to popular destinations such as Bowdoin College, Portland, and Boothbay Harbor. You won't travel far to experience nature, fine dining, and Maine's top sightseeing destinations. The loft apartment is located on a well-traveled road that allows quick access to places like downtown Brunswick/Bowdoin College (~4 miles away/7 minutes), Portland (~30 miles away/35 minutes), Camden (~90 miles away 1 hr. 20 min), Boothbay Harbor (~60 miles away/1 hr).

The loft is positioned on the property with two other rentals that can be rented by additional family and friends. They may also be occupied by other guests during your stay. A luxury camping site/cottage is located to the west in which the private bathroom is below the loft, accessible via a private door beneath the loft. A two bedroom/two bath modern cottage is also located to the west. All three places have been designed and built to offer privacy for each accommodation, but also allow families and friends traveling together to be on the same property. All accommodations together can house up to 8 people.
A few restrictions/items to note:
The Maine road, Route 123 is not recommended for recreating (running, walking, and biking) being a well traveled, narrow road with no shoulder. The road can get busy during peak travel times like the summer months.
This cottage is within 75 feet from the water. Close supervision of children is required at all times when occupying the premise. Guests agree to supervise their children at all times when booking this cottage
This place is located on the water and in a residential neighborhood, where sound travels and others live in close proximity. No noise or loud music of any kind is permitted on the property at any time.
The smart TV allows streaming of your subscribed channels. There is no cable TV at this property.
Consumable products such as toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap, laundry/dish detergent, trash bags, etc. are supplied upon check-in, and usually provides up to a 2 week supply for most guests. If you book for longer than two weeks, please plan to replenish these items for the remainder of your stay.

Clean and great location

The owls nest was a beautifully built place in the woods on the water. The bed was super comfortable and the place was spotless. It had all the conveniences of a home. The balcony was perfect and we didn't have any mosquitoes. You could hear cars pass by but couldn't see them. I would definitely recommend this place.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Coombs

Host profile image
Our family of three (Lisa, Bob, and 11 year old, Acadia) lives in the beautiful coastal fishing town of Harpswell, Maine. We love to travel to Costa Rica during the winter. The biodiversity, wildlife, and culture are a few of what attracts us to this small, but rich Central American country. We anticipate our annual vacation to this warmer climate during Maine's winters.

Bob, a well-known local builder, designed and built the Winter Street Rental with simplicity in mind, splurging on some amenities that we consider to be important. We love to cook, so we incorporated a full kitchen, wide open to the living area. Maine winters are long, and bright indoor spaces are a necessity which was the inspiration to add large windows throughout. With over 30 years of building experience, he realized that wheelchair accessibility was something that was missing in the rental community. Bob built this unit so all could enjoy, even those with mobility challenges.

Lisa, a five-time national Olympic-style boxing champion and coach, left her career as an Environmental Health and Safety Director to pursue personal boxing training and be more available for six year old, Acadia. She operates The Boxing Studio located in Topsham, where she offers personal training through boxing to improve fitness and build confidence.

Acadia, named after the magnificent Acadia National Park, has her own egg farm along with a collection of other farm animals. She loves all things outdoors, and spends a lot of her time at her farm and playing with her cat.

We enjoy being outdoors, hiking, traveling, farming, and being out on the water. We love hosting because we meet so many wonderful people in which many become long-lasting friends who we look forward to returning each year.

Why they chose this property

The loft is located in a sweet fishing town, but yet close to so many sightseeing destinations. Enjoy the mix of wildlife from the balcony including seals, shore birds, eagles, ospreys, eiders, and great blue herons. It isn't unusual for an eagle to fly over the loft where you will get a close up view of these majestic animal.

The loft is located on the northern end of the quant fishing town of Harpswell, one of Maine's true hidden gems. With the population of 5,000 summer residents, Harpswell has more coastline than any other town in Maine, boasting 216 miles of rocky and sandy coast. Harpswell is uniquely comprised of two sides: an islands side where three islands are connected with causeways/bridges, and an 8-mile long peninsula side where the cottage is located. A scenic drive down the islands and peninsula is a must-do when visiting Harpswell. 

What makes this property unique

From the second you ascend the entry stairs, you feel like you're in the trees. Enjoy distance views of Middle Bay through the large windows and take in the salty air relaxing on the balcony.

The brand new construction has modern touches, custom design with a eat-in bar overlooking the bay, and a custom tile rain shower.
