Lots of pros and cons with this house. I have rented vacation places all over the world and Maine in particular and I understand rural living. I appreciate a detailed review so I’m going to be specific. On the plus end: cozy, spacious, plenty of room for all 9 of us, updated large kitchen, great location, easy to get into. AC throughout. We overall had a great time in Harpswell and appreciate the owner sharing her home with us. She was responsive when we had questions. This place has been well loved for sure, and some things show their age. Then some things that could be improved: all the towels, linens, and pillows in this house need replacing, all worn and stained. There are plumbing issues, as mentioned by other reviewers. The septic needed to be pumped a long time ago and is leaking into the leach field and lawn, as mentioned by others. You’re going to want to bring drinking water. The kitchen is well stocked but we couldn’t find a cutting board. Some real deck furniture would make the place feel lots more vacation ready. We could only get one tv to work, maybe an internet issue I’m not sure. Most of the gym equipment doesn’t work. The basement bedroom is fine for a kid. The main living areas had been well cleaned but some of the bedrooms were less so. A few minor updates to would for sure improve this place. I’m not usually one to complain but at 600/night, a few smaller updates could make this place feel like a much better value.

Great time in Maine

The house worked great for our group of 8 adults and 4 children. The house had easy access to the nearby beach which we took advantage of almost daily. The house was also comfortable and had everything we needed. NataLee was also great about answering all of our questions leading up to our stay.

Great House for Families

We enjoyed our stay. Nice quiet area. Short walk to a small beach which was great for beach walking and scenery. House has ample parking, plenty of bedroom space and a well stocked kitchen. We had 8 adults and did not feel cramped at all. Short drive (10-15 minutes) to coffee shops, market and restaurants. Would benefit from patio and outdoor furniture to allow guests to more fully enjoy the property and surrounding scenery

Wonderful stay

The house was perfect for our size family. I highly recommend for families. We did have a couple of small issues and the owners didn't waste any time correcting the issues. They are very nice and very easy to work with. Also, if renters don't notifiy the owner or property manager they will have no clue about any issues. I would definitely rent this house again.

Things that should be addressed to make the next renter stay more enjoyable.

Hello Natalee. Want to thank you for the use of your house for our vacation. It was comfortable and clean. I do want to bring to your attention a few issues that need addressed. I understand that some home rentals up-keep is preformed by a hired property maintenance company or rental company crew. (We rental homes all over a couple times a year). I wanted to make sure you knew the few issues at the house. 1-Biggest thing was , it listed two fully functioning laundry rooms. However only one had a washer and dryer in it and the washer doesn’t work. It fills and drains but does not agitate or spin the load. We had to make a couple trips to the Laundromat because we flew in and had minimal cloths. 2- The refrigerators door handle is missing and all the shelves on the inside door were missing also. 3- There was no patio furniture on the deck and out of 9 camping chairs 7 of them are broken and not useable. 4- We would of liked to open up all the windows and doors because it was so nice out but couldn’t because the doors have no screens and the bugs were pretty bad. 5- TV’s all remote batteries needed replaced. Had to pick some up. Not a big deal. 6- All the pots and pans need replaced. They have all been overheated, warped and don’t heat evenly at all. 7- A lot of stains on the furniture and the rags and towels were pretty torn up. Thought you should know. One more thing maybe you can catch it before it gets costly , your septic field is having some serious

Stovers Cove stay

Overall we enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and the beds were comfortable. There are some nice partial views of the water between some of the neighboring homes. However, there were numerous repairs (mostly minor) that needed to be addressed and shouldn’t of been present in a rental for this price. I emailed the list to the owner but didn’t hear back.

What a lovely house! Everyone in our family felt at ease, a home away from home. The cove was a short walk away, just enough time to chat and reconnect. It really was the perfect setting for coming together and making memories.

The rainy week in July

The house was fantastic, everything about it from the size to the layout and amenities was excellent. We had 4 generations of family all together in the same place and there was plenty of room for us all. NataLee was very responsive to any questions we had prior to out stay. We really didn't have any questions or issues during the week with respect to the house. The weather however was not ideal, rainy and in the 50's and low 60's for the entire week except for the day before we checked out where the sun did finally appear. But still, we had a great time catching up with our 3 kids and their families. We would definitely stay here again, thanks!

Relaxing with friends

Great space for a group although I don't recall knowing about the walk through bedroom to get to the apartment bedroom, but at least the apartment had an outside entrance if needed. Would definitely consider staying here again! Own was very responsive when we had questions during our stay. Patio furniture would be a plus if possible.

Harpswell is a beautiful bedroom town perfect for relaxing, taking a hike or a long walk on the beac

Renting was easy with no problems. The owner Natalee was always able to answer any questions I had and was very accessible. We all had a wonderful experience in Natalees home exploring the Harpswell and surrounding town areas.

We were surprised at how wonderful the view was. Nine adults, perfect amount of space. Kitchen well stocked but bring your own lobster crackers! Nathalie communicated well, she bought ten outside chairs and two folding tables for outside which we really appreciated. Nice area to explore by car or walking.

We came to Harpswell for a family wedding. So glad we did! This area is absolutely beautiful! Loved the location of the house. Short walk to Stover's Cove beach area. Only 20 minute drive over to Bailey and Orr's Island where we kayaked and hiked. This house was the perfect spot for our family to stay. Lots of room for everyone, beds were comfortable, kitchen and seating area was spacious enough for all of us to gather and hang out. Property has a fire pit, camp chairs and even beach towels.
