About this property

Howard Family Cottage with Casco Bay Sunset Views!

  • Located right on the water of the deep water side of Basin Point Road, this cottage features spectacular sunsets across Casco Bay. On a clear day you can see Mt Washington in New Hampshire. The house has 3 porches, and a big stone fireplace. The house is located at the end of a wooded road which insures privacy and no traffic. Whales and eagles, and frequently seals have been spotted from the back porch along with the lobster boats pulling their traps daily. Inside there are 2 bedrooms with one queen size bed, and one full, and a futon bed in the living room. There is a large dining room table which seats 10 easily and a fully furnished kitchen. The bathroom has an old fashioned claw foot bathtub with a shower attachment. And yes we do have Wifi! We now also have another cabin on the property that we have fixed up to include a full bathroom, a mini fridge, and beds that can either be 2 singles or combined to make one king . Please enquire directly if you are interested.

Sweet Family Vaction Home

Property is typical 1960's vacation home on the coast. Excellent view of bay. Quiet, private and interesting. We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the local small town feel. Local beaches, golf course, kayaking, whale ship and wonderful people made it greatggreplaceplaceplacebe!

Amazing property in an unbeatable location. Working with Jean was a dream - she’s wonderful. We love going to Dolphin and Erica’s so the proximity to those didn’t hurt either! And the sunsets? Amazing! Hoping to return next next year.

We had a wonderful week in Harpswell at this house (2 adults plus small dog). We enjoyed the amazing view of the bay, with the lobster boats working each day. Very quiet and private location. The house is older, and rustic, but comfortable and the kitchen was well-equipped. We ate a lot of very fresh lobster. Thank you, Jeanne!

I can’t say enough about this cottage and the other two cabins able for rental. Our family had an absolute blast and watching the sunsets every night took our breath away! Walking in through the very well equipped kitchen the first thing you see is the water. Quite the views to be had!! The cottages were sparkling clean, I was so worried about the water system, but water was left for us to drink and the Britta pitcher worked like a dream! A ceiling fan in the main room is all that is missing, but there were enough fans to help us move the air around when it got stuffy. Our dog was very happy with the freedom she got. I will also say unfortunately she acquired an injury before we traveled up and the emergency vet in Freehold was awesome with her! Location is the cabin was wonderful, private and close to many wonderful sites. Would HIGHLY recommend this place! Communication with the owner was fantastic and she responded to all of my questions.

Wonderful location

This home is right on Casco bay with large windows looking out. There is a great restaurant and another outdoor lobster shack less than 5 minutes away. One of our key issues was privacy which the owners stressed. Unfortunately, there is a small cabin 10 yards away that is occupied by a couple. There is virtually no access to the water. There are no screens in several of the windows so that on a not day it can get warm. There is a rotten egg smell to the running water so that a shower is nota pleasant experience. With a little work this can be a five star experience

heaven on earth

Peaceful and so very quiet. Comfy beds, kitchen was well stocked, and the cottage was spotless!! There were lovely fresh flowers on the table. The views from the cottage beautiful, along with gorgeous sunsets. There were nice trails to walk, and all just a short drive away. In fact, the cottage was close to everything the islands have to offer. I hope to return!!

Lovely rustic cottage right on the sea

Sweet, rustic cottage right on the Maine coast with sleepy days spent lounging on the deck watching lobster boats coming and going. Walk to great seafood down the end of the road, kayak from your cottage, or just read one of the many books from their bookshelves or do a puzzle while listening to the waves lapping against the shore. Lovely! Only thing I'd wish for is a floating dock on which to sit and access the water more easily with my kayak.

We could not have been happier.

We can not say enough about this property. We have not been to this area in 15 years, and had a great time. The house is a typical rustic Maine property. Right on the water, and excluded. It was within 45 minutes from all we wanted to see, including Brunswick, LL Bean, the Maine Maritime Museum and all of the areas of Harpswell such as Bailey's Island, Cundy's Harbour and Potts Point. Fresh lobster was 7 minutes away. We were able to dine at very nice restaurants, eat lunch outside at a couple of wharfs and get fresh seafood to cook at the house. There was even a farm that we could get range free chicken eggs and fresh area fruits. The kids had a great time swimming at high tide. Jean was easy to work with, and very friendly. We had no problems whatsoever. When we go back to this area, we will do our best to schedule it so we can use this property again. We travel a lot, and the kids tell us whether we want to try something new. They want to return to this house. Thank you Jean.

Comfortable, cozy cottage with amazing water views

We just spent 3 nights at this wonderful cottage and plan to return for a week this summer. The photos of the house don't do it justice. It is a large, comfortably furnished, fully-equipped home with amazing water views from the living room and master bedroom. It is "off the beaten path" yet very close to a great lobster pound (Erica's seafood) and lots of beach walks, and 12 miles from Brunswick. The owner is lovely, easy-going and accommodating (she got the house ready at the last minute when our other rental fell through). We can't wait to return when the weather is warmer.
