Upstairs you'll find a full bathroom with shower/tub combo and a single sink, a bedroom with a queen, a bedroom with a queen and twin bunkbed, and a master bedroom with a king and ocean views. The washer and dryer are located in the basement area.

Use this lovely, comfortable cottage as your home base while you discover the peace and quiet of Casco Bay's rocky shoreline, picturesque coves and nature at its most glorious. Then come back to spend relaxing evenings, starting with spectacular sunsets from your own little slice of Maine's coastal heaven!

Sorry, pets are not allowed at Coveside.

****The neighbor's plans to renovate their cottage have been scrapped, so major construction at the home next door is no longer an issue for the 2024 season. The neighbors are hoping to re-build their deck in the Fall of 2024, but that project has not been confirmed. As the owner realizes the deck construction would affect the enjoyment of our guests, he has offered a 15% discount on the base rental rate for guests who are impacted by the possible deck construction in the Fall of 2024. This discount will only be given should the construction commence during a guest's stay. For any questions, please request more information or reach out to MaineStay Vacations directly.

Property needs an overall update. Best part of the property was the view. No firepit, curb appeal was nonexistent, washer/dryer down treacherous stairs in the basement, couches need replaced/cleaned. The whole thing needs some huge TLC

Maine Waterfront Getaway
We would rent here again. The property has fabulous vistas from MBR and LR, and has a beach on this inlet cove. Bring water shoes since it is a little rocky. During our early July stay the nights were cool and there was no need for AC, which is missing in a lot of Maine rentals including this one, but they've got fans which we did not need to use. The kitchen is very well appointed, everything that you need to cook, two coffee pots, regular drip and pods, lobster steamer. (But easier to go to Erikas which is a few miles down the road). Plenty of decks to sit out and enjoy the sun and ocean breezes. The cove is shallow and protected. The property is cozy and well maintained. Master KIng Bed was very comfortable and great views and sunsets from bed!! TVs upstairs and downstairs. Location is great, about 20 minutes to Brunswick. The Vrbo listing does not show how close the neighbors' homes are, do not expect isolation. This rental would be great for family with kids since water is shallow until you get out pretty far. Watch for ants. Couch needs to be recovered. Otherwise no issues. It has washer and dryer which we did not need to use. Internet service was great. Highly recommend the linen service-came with plenty of towels and uber crisp clean linens. Wish we had a longer stay - I did not want to leave!!! --Catherine from Maryland

Found lacking.
The house itself is a nice house. What I found unsatisfactory was the fact that after I made the final payment and in the instructions for staying was the fact that we would have to buy our own paper products if needed. What was left at the house was 1-ply - that’s gross - this house is renting out at a decent rate where the owner could have a supply of decent paper products. Also, we may need to buy drinking water?- we did, but honestly pay for a Culligan service so that’s ready to go - we shouldn’t need to check any website everyday to see if the water is ok to drink. We had to make our own beds when we got there, no towels in the bathroom, that should have been ready to go. Then I went down to do laundry and there were two dead mice in front of the dryer. One was under the basket, I left him under the basket and moved the other one to the side on top of a paper towel that I hoped you would spot. Used dryer sheets on the floor and shelf. The cleaner should have noticed that stuff and cleaned it up. I think the paper products and water issue, should be divulged in the initial description, so we can have a choice in whether we want to do that or not. I didn’t appreciate not knowing that until the time I was given the address.

Cove Side Vaccination
My family and I loved the cottage and the decks overlooking the water. My grandson really enjoyed swimming in the ocean. The layout of the house was great. The kitchen was well stocked with all we needed to cook and eat with. The views from the living room and master bedroom were amazing! My husband was happy there was an outdoor grill. We had a wonderful time and look forward to visiting Harpswell again next year.

Very relaxing with great biews
What a wonderful location with great views. Very peaceful and relaxing. The house is perfect for any size family. You are far enough away from everything to feel secluded, but close enough to everything in Brunswick. Plenty of food options all around on the islands or in town. The views from the deck and beach are amazing. We love Maine, and this has been one of our favorite locations so far. - Brandon, Lauren, and Brooks-Myrtle Beach,SC

Beautiful views of the water, sunrise and sunsets.
Perfect location to get away from everything, quiet, beautiful views, but everything you need is within 5 to 30 minute drive. We were looking for a place to unwind, and meet our daughter who lives in Maine. This place was perfect! At low tide can walk out on beach area. Beautiful sunsets. The views from the master bedroom are amazing! The decks are perfect, plenty of chairs. Able to find places to eat close by, or the house has everything needed to prepare a meal. Can only imagine how amazing this house would be in the summer, but late September/ early October was amazing too.

relaxing ocean cottage
My family and I enjoyed exploring Harpswell and getting to know Maine's beautiful mid-coast. The cottage has stairs that lead directly to a quiet, protected beach, where we found sand dollars and hermit crabs. The house is clean and comfortable.
