A great place to spend time with family! Coincidentally, two family members stayed in this house a few years ago. They noticed some updates and were impressed.

Beautiful quiet Maine getaway! Everything we could have wanted in the kitchen and throughout the house. The location is incredible, gorgeous views for the morning sunrise. My husband and I stayed with our parents and our 9 month old. Plenty of space, we were able to run some laundry, give my son a bath, and we all slept well. Close to restaurants, hiking, and we took a ride to Freeport and Brunswick. Highly recommend and would stay again!

Truly lovely house in a fabulous location. We have been coming to Harpswell 2-4 times a year for a decade and this is by far the best place we have stayed. Roomy, beautifully decorated, private, and great views. Kitchen had everything needed to cook at home. Will be back!

So Beautiful!

It is a beautiful spot to stay. The house is right on the water and it is very pretty. The house was very clean, there were most things that we needed there. There could’ve been a few extra utensils for cooking such as spatulas etc. Coffee was plentiful, which was a plus:) The towels were nice and fluffy. We loved staying at Windward and would stay again!

Quiet seclusion

Loved the location. We happened to be there just after the shooter incident and found Brunswick ‘shut down’. We still made the most of our getaway having brought large amounts of our own food to enjoy. The property owners emailed and texted me offering us the opportunity to cancel given the situation and had great communication throughout. The ladies in our group did feel a bit uncomfortable in that the none of large glass sliding doors had curtains that could be closed making them feel a bit exposed at night like living in a fish bowl. We also came prepared to walk on the rocky ‘private’ beach. Nope. It’s a mud flat with deep mud and no access. Having said that, we really enjoyed watching the huge tidal movement each day and marveled at the change in the water view. Sunrises were spectacular and we blew up our cell phones with pics.

Lovely short trip to Harpswell

We had a really lovely stay at this property. The communication with the property managers was great and the view was even. Enter than expected. We really enjoyed the little beach and rocky shoreline and had a great time watching the sun come up each morning. The neighborhood was quiet but felt close to lots of our favorite spots in Harpswell and Brunswick.

Very nice place with a lovely view of Maine nature.

We had a very pleasant and peaceful stay at the house. Clean, well organized, with a very spacious kitchen, dining, and living room. The outside porch and grill space were also really just wonderful.

Do not hesitate to book this lovely property!

The house itself is beautiful, spacious, and clean. The floor to ceiling windows provide a stunning view of the water and the shore which are just steps away. The kitchen is thoughtfully stocked with many convenient essentials. My two kids, who are 4 and 6 years old, had a great time here!
