Listing highlights

Self check-in

Check yourself in with the keypad.
Private two bedroom apartment offers modern comfort with beautiful views of Quahog Bay, boating activity and dramatic sun / moonrises. Whether you are sitting inside, relaxing on the covered porch or grilling in the front yard, the sights and sounds will make you feel like you’re literally on the water.

The space
Modern single level apartment is perfect for one or two couples who want to enjoy all the beauty and benefits of living on the coast of Maine.

This newly renovated apartment is located on the ground floor of the owner’s home. The apartment features an open kitchen / dining / living area with wide views of the bay, boats and islands. Both bedrooms have queen beds with large closets adjacent to the ¾ bath and washer/dryer. Private covered porch features adirondack chairs and gas grill making it a great place to relax and watch the boating activities outside. A fifteen minute drive North will bring you to downtown Brunswick home to local restaurants, brew pubs, museums and the Maine State Music Theater located on Bowdoin College’s campus. Travel South fifteen minutes and you will discover Harpswell’s special waterfront restaurants, kayak rental options, small beaches and walking trails along the rocky coast.

Guest access
In addition to the apartment, guests have access to the attached covered porch with adirondack chairs and BBQ grill, small lower parking area, upper larger parking area and the lawn overlooking the water.

Other things to note
The outside area is not safe for young children as the front lawn, lower parking area and driveway slopes steeply down the rocks into the water.

Combination door lock provides convenient access to everyone in your group.

The parking area near the apartment entrance is tight for 2 cars but there is plenty of parking available at the top of the driveway which is a short walk up or down the hill depending which way you are headed.

Although we are dog lovers, we can’t allow any pets in the apartment.

Neighborhood highlights

Our house is located in a private setting near other year-round & seasonal waterfront homes. Our driveway connects to a ¼ mile long road that loops on and off the main road which is a pleasant walk. The Great Island Marina is located a ¼ mile away and we look out at their boats moored in the harbor. We are conveniently located 15 minutes from downtown Brunswick (home to many restaurants, brew pubs, golf courses, the Maine State Music Theater and Bowdoin College) in one direction and 15 minutes away from Orr’s Island & Bailey Island (small beaches, walking trails, kayak rental and waterfront restaurants) in the other.

30 - 45 Minutes North -
Bath – An old and current shipbuilding town, home of Bath Iron Works and the Maine Maritime Museum.
Popham Beach State Park / Fort Popham -- Beautiful three mile sandy beach located at the mouth of the Kennebec River. Fish the river, search for sand dollars and explore tide pools. Fort Popham is a civil war era coastal defense fortification at the end of the beach.
Reid State Park / Beach – Sand dunes, sea birds, rolling ocean waves and a saltwater lagoon are just a few of the features the park offers.
Boothbay Harbor – Small quaint, harbor side restaurants, tourist shops, whale watching tours.

30-45 Minute Drive South –
Freeport – Home of L.L.Bean, outlet shopping, Gritty McDuffs brew pub, Maine Beer Company and much more.
Portland – Maine’s largest city hosting a vibrant waterfront / downtown area, award winning restaurants, emerging craft beer mecca, music venues and museums. FYI- If someone in your group can’t go a week without visiting a mall they tell me we have one in South Portland.

Lives in Harpswell, Maine
My wife and I are locals who appreciate the beauty of Harpswell and the surrounding area. My parents built this house in 1989 and I lived in the ground floor apartment for a couple of years until I met my wife. Shortly after we married we moved upstairs and expanded the living area to accommodate our family. We are excited to share with others the opportunity to experience life on the coast of Maine, Harpswell style! We hope your time spent in Maine / Harpswell is as rich and rewarding as it has been for us for the past 25 years.
