Peaceful and pretty

Beautifully decorated house with luxurious touches in scenic Cundy’s Harbor. Quiet broken only by gulls, and the occasional fishing boat leaving the harbor. Close to Brunswick with Maine State Musical Theatre and Gelato Fiasco, and Bath with great restaurants & shops. Very dog friendly area.

Lovely stay in Harpswell

We had a very restful week away. The house was clean, very comfortable, and well appointed. It was so nice to have water access and the opportunity to get out on kayaks. We loved hanging out on the deck for meals and found some great local restaurants as well. Would definitely come again!

Great location, lovely home

This home is truly lovely! We cooked dinner on the gas grill, and ate on the lovely patio one night, and had lobster rolls at Holbrooks the other night. Watched sunrises and sunsets from the dock. We love Harpswell, and have stayed in many rentals over the years -- this was one of our favorites!

Great weekend!

Such a great place to spend an anniversary weekend! Everyone in town was super friendly and not a far drive to stores and gas stations. The view of the sunrise on the top balcony was amazing!! The entire house was amazing. Very private and quiet, with a dock to enjoy. Our dog had a great time too! Overall, wonderful stay.. would love to come back!! :)

Beautiful Location

Things I loved: seeing the sunrise from my big comfy bed; that our pup was welcome here; the fire pit; taking the kayaks out around the island, watching the bustling fishing community, and seeing our "natural neighbors", the osprey and a heron! Improvements include: fixing loose stones on stairs as they present safety concerns; increasing the water pressure in the kitchen; and repairing dishwasher (we called for maintenance and received no follow up), .

Beautiful Home by the Harbor

This was my second time renting this home in the hopes the water filtration system had been fixed. Water was still not drinkable nor were we able to take showers it smelled so bad. And to boot the outside patio heater and dishwasher were broken as well.

Peaceful, Remote, and Rustic with a view

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights to rest and restore on the way home from a long trip in Canada before completing the last leg of our drive back home. The space was beautiful and high end on the surface. But once you were in there it wasn't as nice as it looked. 2 handles fell off the cabinetry, the insides of the cabinets were a mess and a mish-mosh, there was not all things needed for everyday cooking, and the pots, pans and utensils were awful and over-used. It takes a learning curve to use the lights, shower and toilet, and there aren't true comfortable seating areas. It is managed by an outside and company, and really had that feel that someone distant managed it and cared for it very little.

Very peaceful!

The house is a perfect get away retreat. It had extra touches that make it homey and yet a little modern. It was close to hiking trails, beaches, parks , lighthouses and many other things to see but they aren’t in your backyard. I would go back in a heartbeat! The only thing I didn’t like was Vacasa booking agency! I called twice and was put on hold so long I hung up. Even when I texted them back they still did not reply. I would never book with them again, but again this rental property is a delightful breath of fresh air!

Beautiful Location

The location of the house, nestled in the trees, close to the water, was the best feature. The decor of the home provided that ‘Maine’ feel. The layout of the furniture was not ‘family friendly.’ Perhaps a loveseat/small sofa in front of the tv/fireplace would allow more people to sit together. Maybe have some board games/cards to play (rainy days/evenings). I strongly suggest providing directions on how to use the upstairs shower. We ended up taking lukewarm showers the first few days until we got it working properly. We gave it 4/5 stars because the downstairs shower wasn’t cleaned well (lots of hair on the floor), the coffee maker was a bit dirty and the lack of instructions to operate the upstairs shower (and the dishwasher). Overall we enjoyed our stay here and had a wonderful vacation.

Disappointed

This is a nice home but it's lacking a lot of things that would make a guest's visit so much more enjoyable. Bed listed in downstairs bedroom is listed as a queen but it's just a double. No closet or dresser in the downstairs bedroom is extremely inconvenient. Be prepared to live out of your suitcase if you have to stay in that bedroom. Also, no curtains in the bedrooms is weird and uncomfortable. Would not rebook this house and would not recommend to others.

Serene and beautiful

This was a quick few days away for me and my friend to get rejuvenated from disabled veteran husbands that require care. The property is in a very tranquill setting with georgous veiws of the ocean from most every room and space. The property was a little hard to find as the street sign was covered by tree branches and leaves. A few of the paving stones in the beautiful stairway to the property were loose so going up and down required additional care. It was overall a beautiful spot. I would and will definely recommend this property.

First time I have used Vacasa. This home had many "glitches" that we made them aware of. Hopefully they are resolved for the next guests. Things I learned about this listing...you must be completely comfortable in your own skin as it is very open with little privacy. The other thing is the ocean view is from the private dock, perhaps when leaves have fallen you can see from the home but our water views were very limited. The private dock is not far and very enjoyable. The sunrise from the master suite is breathtaking. If you are looking for a quiet getaway this would be for you. For our first trip to Maine from Oregon it was not quite what I thought I was getting. I was absolutely disappointed.

Wonderful Fall getaway for Bowdoin’s Family weekend!

We loved staying at the house - to wake up to the view of the harbor was fabulous! The house is lovely with nice space to gather for breakfast or watch a movie. Loved the ease of turning on the fireplace. The master bathroom is gorgeous!

Charming getaway

The setting is ideal. A true working harbor with lobster boats going and coming daily. The cottage is very charming, but not without some quirks. It only has one chair to watch tv and only one chair for the upper balcony. The kitchen did not have a lobster pot, which is odd for a lobster harbor setting. Aside from those quirks, it is the perfect place to explore southern coastal Maine.

No as presented

Place had so many issues! Black ants, mosquitoes & moths everywhere. Rug in living room smelled of urine, outdoor rug smelled old and moldy. Air conditioning didn’t work first night and we had issues with it on and off the whole stay. Ran out of propane before 1st week of a 2 week stay so had no use of oven for a day and place filled up with smell of gas. Had issues with outlets so had to keep checking fuses which were impossible to access due to owners having so much stuff in laundry room. 2nd bedroom advertised with Queen bed but it was a full bed too small! Mush mash of glassware, plates, pots and pans but supposed to be a gourmet kitchen. 2 windows broken upstairs that we couldn’t close. All the screens were loose so we couldn’t open windows which was the whole point of going to Maine at end of summer for the beautiful New England fresh air. Several broken stairs in front entrance which was very dangerous! Ice machine in fridge didn’t work. Apparently, management was aware of some of these issues in past but haven’t done anything to address. Property manager was initially responsive but after first two dealings with him he was too busy to get on phone with us to discuss any issues. We spent $8000 for 2 weeks at this place but isn’t worth half that. We’ve stayed in Harpswell 3 times in last few years at rentals of comparable cost and this was by far the worst. Felt like owners live there. Way to many personal belongings left in house. Very disappointed! They refunded us $500 which is a joke for the amount of problems we had. Would not recommend!

Many steps leading to entrance with several very loose concrete blocks presented the potential for a serious fall. Great outdoor patio with grill and view. Well equipped kitchen, breakfast nook and laundry facility on first floor. The seating areas on the first floor were not particularly well arranged for 4 adults. The first floor bedroom is very small with no place to keep clothing. There are no window covering in the bedroom. Good first floor full bathroom. Both bathrooms well stocked with towels, shampoo and soap. The second floor master suite is very spacious and comfortable, as is the smart master bath. There is a single window covering in this bedroom, not really useful given multiple windows. There are many narrow steps to reach the master bedroom. One of the two folding chairs available to take to the dock was broken. We did not check the other one. The views, neighborhood and dock are very pleasant. Given the way the space is allocated, the disparity of bedroom size and the stairs leading to the property as well as within the house made it less suitable for the 4 adults in our party.

Misrepresented and disappointing

Sadly, we felt like we were living in someone else’s home with all of their stuff instead of a professional rental home. The house was dirty. Kitchen drawers full of owner’s food items, poorly organized cabinets that were just dirty. Kitchen faucet has VERY low water pressure making it difficult to wash dishes or clean sink. Dishwasher controls were not decipherable and the owner did not leave any instruction booklet in the unit to guide us. Owner’s personal items and clothes in every drawer of master bath and bedroom. Walls, windows and screens were filthy. There is no dresser or closet in the second room so technically a 1 bedroom unit. Downstairs bathroom doesn’t have a soap dish in shower and towel rack was broken. Laundry area (they don’t show this in the photos) houses two open shelves of disorganized, garage junk cluttering the space. Bedding was old and mismatched. Moldy, dirty rug on front patio under table and chairs. Dangerous loose stones on walkway leading to front door which is steep anyway- serious safety issue. Junk piled up on outside of house visible from inside. Odd layout which makes it difficult to have family time. Vacasa was not helpful in helping us resolve any of these concerns. I was never given instructions on when to put the garbage out despite my inquiry. I also requested a second house key, but never received one. Apparently the owner is the “professional” cleaning this house. It is not up to the standards we are used to from past experiences with rentals. Definitely not what we expected given the photos and price point. The view of the water is nice but obstructed. There were two beautiful bald eagles and an osprey couple nesting near the harbor. We will never rent a home managed by Vacasa again.

Great location and beautiful home

Great location, awesome views. I wasn’t aware that we were right on the water, so huge bonus. Only negatives are downstairs bedroom has no closet so no place to hang clothes. Upstairs closet is huge, not not helpful for person downstairs. Second negative is that there are very few window coverings in the house, and completely exposed in bedrooms. That was a bit uncomfortable despite not having any peeping neighbors. My sister slept on the bottom floor bedroom and was extremely nervous not having any window coverings. Lack of covering also means 5 am wake up with sunrise. Again, despite the uncovered windows and lack of closet in second bedroom, it is a fabulous house with the fanciest bathroom I have ever used in my life. Think hi tech and easy to use. You will hate a regular shower and toilet after this stay.
