The location of this house couldn't be better. A gorgeous view of the deep water Long Reach (no mud flats) from the picture window and an ample deck. Beautiful, well-maintained gardens surround the home. The house itself was roomy and the kitchen is well equipped. There is good cell phone reception and using your personal hotspot works well.

Loved the quiet and the gardens

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Nancy was so welcoming and we so enjoyed our conversations. The house is very comfortable and peaceful, it’s all on one floor. Sitting on the deck in the evenings, overlooking the water of Long Reach inlet you can “hear” the silence and watch the sunset. Beautiful view of the water as well from the living room and the sunroom. Her flower gardens bring a smile to your face. A great place to go to get away from the day to day rush.

Relaxing stay on Long Reach

The owner was spectacular. Our flight arrived late and she knew the nearby restaurants were closing soon. She told us to go eat first and then she would check us in -- which turned out to be just after 9 pm. The patio / deck was probably the most used space by the 4 of us. We enjoyed visiting and taking in the incredible beauty of the area ... both as we all started the day and especially each evening as the sunset off the horizon from the deck.. We were easy access to Harpswell, Brunswick, Boothbay, Camden and other areas. It was the exact trip that we needed.

Amazing experience! First of all, the property is not only clean but classy. Location is perfect! We feel like at home away from home. The little birds, big turkeys, and chipmunks in the backyard make the stay extra interesting. We went to the Wolfneck State Park, which is great for shell fishing (no license required); We also went to Orre Island and Baileys Island to visit the lobstermen and watch sunset. Best spot to see sunset is at the foot of the Nerrow Bridage. Buying fresh lobsters from the boat at Glenns Lobsters dock is another great experience. 8/lbs is a steal! Last but not the least, Nancy is a wonderful host! She is a well educated lady who is also pretty handy, she decorated the house and yard very very very nicely! As a host, she is knowledgable, curtious & considerate. This is THE BEST vacation rental we have ever had! Will definitely return again in the future. Thank you Nancy!!!!

A perfect summer vacation place with a great house, and even better views.

Our vacation on Long Reach was sure one to remember. The water was easily accessible, the house and views were great, and the host, Nancy, was wonderful. When we first got there, Nancy greeted us with a warm smile. As she gave us a tour around the house, she told us many historical stories and some about her childhood. Nancy was wonderful with the kids also. She made sure that the kids had fun. She had a basketball hoop and a soccer goal. Each night, Nancy also had fantastic restaurant suggestions. The cottage was amazing. The kids enjoyed playing in the sun room. Many nights we would sit outside on the porch and watch the sunset. In fact, one morning we saw eagles flying to a tree. There was a great view of the water from the porch. During our stay, we also went down to the water. The kids had a lot of fun exploring. While playing in the water, our son found many hermit crabs. We also found many shells, and a horseshoe crab. It was really exciting to watch the tide change. We went down to the water at low tide, and high tide. The drastic tide change was amazing. Our Maine vacation was action packed. We went on a whale watching tour in Booth Bay, visited the Giant's Stairs, and much more. We hope to come back in the future.

Most excellent!

We arrived Sunday afternoon for our honeymoon, and met Nancy there. She is most gracious and welcoming! After a rainy Monday spent relaxing after a hectic 2 weeks prior (we planned our own wedding), the rest of our week was sunny and seasonably cool for mid-September. The house is in the middle of quiet woods, storybook charming, cozy, fully appointed for a week's vacation. We couldn't have asked for a better setting/location! Did I mention the house is perfect? Spotless! The view of the inlet below the house is stunning. We saw eagles, cormorants, other birds, seals, and watched the tides ebb and flow from the deck. Walking back towards the main road, there were egrets and herons at the causeway to the island. Nancy said there might be deer about, but weren't seen. Seriously, there are no superlatives to adequately describe our enjoyment! Eat a meal on the deck or inside in a delightful addition to the main house, or for a more formal setting, in the dining room. Nancy has cultivated some lovely flowers about the outside guarded by gnomes. Everything is provided including linens. Stop at the grocery in Brunswick before you arrive, or there are a few local convenience stores in the area; you must bring your own food. Speaking of food, there's plenty of opportunities to sample the very freshly caught seafood and other delights for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Play tourist and explore! You won't be disappointed! We'll be back, for sure.

The house has amazing views from the deck to watch the sunrise and sunset or just to sit and relax all day....the place was clean as a whistle and tucked quietly away of the beaten path.....we enjoyed how much enthusiasm Nancy brought to informing us about the area and the house she grew up in.....if we come back Nancy is our go to!

Pure Heaven

I loved this house! It’s out of the way, but so close to anything you could ever want to see in mid coast Maine. It was like coming home every time we drove down the road, over the causeway and up to the house. It was so quiet and peaceful and our host Nancy was such a huge help in giving recommendations for our daily adventures. She is very knowledgeable about the area. She was always available but never in our way. The house has been lived in and loved. It’s not a sterile, no personality place to be there only to sleep. It’s the kind of place you want to look around and explore. I especially loved the view from the back deck and all the pretty flowers. I would love to visit again some day.

Lovely home on a peninsula

This home is beautifully situated on a peninsula in a quiet, peaceful spot overlooking tidal waters. It’s well-furnished, with comfortable rooms for sleeping and spectacular deck and sunroom. The owner, Nancy, stays nearby and is accessible—very helpful in helping us plan outings to see local sights. She’s also charming and fun to talk with. A special feature are the well-loved gardens—with various places to sit and enjoy the flowers as you look out over the water. The house is close to Freeport and Portland to the south and mid-coast Maine to the north, excellent for daytrips. Nancy leaves plenty of information about things to see/do to make your trip enjoyable. There is no wifi, but we were able to use our phones as hotspots. We would absolutely return to this vacation spot. Highly recommend.

Did not meet our expectations.

Nancy is a lovely person and the garden is unique. However, the house left a lot to be desired..mostly in the kitchen. THE dishwasher was broken, the trash compactor was broken with the door hanging partially off…rusty and moldy inside. The cabinets and work surfaces were “grimy” and we felt like we had to wash all the dishes and pans before using them. One bedroom was fine, the other had a really hard mattress. Sheets and towels were ok. In general we felt the house had not been thoroughly cleaned before we arrived. There was no internet and the TV was attached to an antenna which did not work very well. We would not recommend this rental in its current state.

Majestic Get-A-Way!!

This property is located on a beautiful little private (well literally saw one other vehicle besides our own) back road. It is set up on an inlet from the ocean with a lot of wildlife including 3 bald eagles that have made a home right by the cottage. The back deck over looks the water and is amazing with the sunset in the distance. The property itself is what you would expect in a Maine country cottage. It was very clean and cozy! The master has it's own bathroom and the second bathroom is located right next to the other 2 bedrooms. There is a sunroom which we used for a game room at night. The cottage was stocked with everything we needed, pots and pans, dishes, towels and linens. The property is located in the perfect spot, with Brunswick being right down the road you have access to Walmart, Groceries, restaurants and everything you need and as far as tourism goes, it is in the perfect spot as well. Amazing beaches, lighthouses and nature trails are all within a reasonable driving distance from the cottage. The best part of the property would have to be Nancy, the hostess! She is a wonderful lady full of knowledge about the property and history of the town. She has all kinds of information in the dining room for guests to over look and she is such a nice person!! If you are looking for a 5 star hotel with all the amenities I would recommend you book yourself a 5 start hotel. If you are looking for a quiet / private country cottage that is part of the history of the little town of Harpswell, this is the place for you!!
