4 Bedroom Cottage in Mid-Coast and Islands, Harpswell

If you are looking for an authentic Maine vacation on the coast, you will absolutely love this quintessential seaside cottage in South Harpswell, Maine. Step back in time to Gull's Rest....A charmingly renovated, 100-year-old Victorian gingerbread cottage located on a quiet lane in the desirable summer community of Pott's Point. From the covered wrap around porch, you'll enjoy the smell of the sea, the feel of refreshing ocean breezes, the beauty of glorious sunrises, the sounds of lobster boats at work and seagulls at play. Swim, kayak, explore the tidepools at Pott's Point Preserve, curl up with a book, or just sit and savor the quiet long views of the multiple nearby islands.
Inside, this cottage has been freshly painted and lovingly decorated to reflect its coastal charm. The first floor features a living room, dining room with seating for 4-6, updated bathroom with walk-in shower, and a small, but fully functional kitchen. The four bedrooms, featuring brand new mattresses, are all located on the second floor and are named for islands in the vicinity: Eagle Island Room (queen bed), Haskell Island Room (two twin beds), Pinkham Island Room (ocean view twin bed), and Bailey Island Room (ocean view full/double bed).
Located near the end of a peninsula, you'll appreciate being able to walk to Pott's Point Preserve as well as the public boat launch and dock. The Dolphin Marina & Restaurant and Erica's Seafood are just a short 10-minute drive from the cottage, too. You're a scenic 14 mile ride from Bailey Island restaurants like Sundrenched and Cook's Lobster & Ale House. Brunswick (12 miles) boasts the Maine State Music Theater, and is home to Bowdoin College, which offers the Peary-MacMillan Artic Museum and Museum of Art, and hosts an annual summer International Music Festival. Brunswick's bustling Maine Street offers a variety of fine dining options and food trucks, charming shops, a farmer's market and grocery stores. If you want to explore the area, Gull's Rest is a perfect location for your home base. Freeport, home to L.L. Bean's Flagship Store and numerous outlet stores, is just a 35-minute drive. The Old Port in Portland, which features restaurants and shopping, is also less than an hour south. To the north, visit Bath (22 miles) with its charming Main Street and Maine Maritime Museum, Boothbay Harbor (45 miles) and the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, and Rockland (66 miles) and the Farnsworth Art Museum. Scenic Popham Beach State Park (36 miles) and Reid State Park (36 miles) are the closest sandy beaches. Options for day trips are endless, but regardless of where you roam, you'll appreciate retreating to the comforts of Gull's Rest.

Summary: Slightly rustic, but with all the amenities you will need. Very comfortable. Neighbors are close and parking space is limited/small. Otherwise, good spot for a home base from which to explore.

Summary: Rating Details: The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Town of Harpswell is a beautiful, off the beaten path, quaint and typically Maine small town! This home is kind of hidden away on the edge of Casco Bay. It was just beautiful! The home was cozy and comfortable and a great home base for exploring. The management company was friendly and helpful with the few questions I had for them. We would definitely stay here again!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very pleasant stay. Well-appointed house. Be aware that there’s just the one bath, and it’s downstairs. The bedrooms are small and one wall in each slopes, but the beds are quite comfortable. The photos on the website are accurate.

Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Several issues. I paid for linen service. When i opened the sterile bag i noticed that one of the sheets had a brown stain.i texted the management company and they told me to use the smaller size sheets in the other room which was impossible. The bathroom door does NOT close that was very uncomfortable and there was a very thin lace curtain. i could see the people next door and i assume that they could see me in the bathroom as well.On the first day I dropped some water on the kitchen floor and used a paper towel to wipe it up only to find it to be black with dirt. that kitchen floor was not cleaned before we arrived.

Summary: My wife and I booked this for wedding anniversary and the trip was fantastic partly because of this property. The house is cozy and right on the harbor. Very private and quiet. Everything was very clean and orderly. We wish it would have had a king size bed and a fire pit outside but otherwise it was perfect. Communication with the host was spectacular and they gave great recommendations on things to do.

Summary: The Gull's Rest cottage was clean, organized, and just as pictured and described. The view of the bay was perfect. Such a treat to drink coffee on the porch in the morning. It was unusually hot and humid the week we were there so we were very grateful for the fans upstairs and down. The cottage is wonderfully decorated with soothing colors and many appealing reminders of the seaside locale. The wrap-around porch is an amazing treat with several areas for BBQ, table space, birdwatching, reading -- marvelous spaces for any of the above. We played games, ate outside, read in comfy chairs and generally enjoyed the amazing views. It would have been wonderful to have had the beds made up when we arrived, as our arrival was approx. 11pm after lengthy drives. (Thank you, Marcie, for answering the very late, slightly panicky phone call! And for your warm greeting at such an hour.). We highly recommend this cottage for families or individuals looking for a convenient, welcoming Maine retreat.
