Ocean Watch - Relax and let the ocean sweep you away at this charming retreat

Nestled right on the water’s edge, this charming one-bedroom cottage is the perfect retreat for someone seeking peaceful solitude or a romantic escape for two. Start your mornings by sipping coffee on the covered deck while soaking in the breathtaking sunrise, or take in the view from the living room window or the peaceful bench perched near the rocky shore.

Ocean Watch is located next to the owner’s vacation home and is thoughtfully positioned to ensure your privacy. Guests will have access to a small, secluded rocky beach ideal for launching a kayak, collecting seashells and stones, or simply enjoying a picnic while watching the lobster boats pass by, hauling their daily catch.

For kayaking enthusiasts, Ocean Watch offers a prime location to explore nearby Lowell’s Cove, Ragged Pond, Elm Island, or venture under the iconic Cribstone Bridge to paddle through the sparkling waters of Harpswell Sound.

Conveniently within walking distance, you’ll find the historic Cribstone Bridge, H2Outfitters kayak rentals, and local seafood restaurants where you can savor the freshest catch of the day. Inside the cottage, you’ll find a clean, cozy space with everything you need for a memorable stay, including a lobster pot for those who want to try their hand at cooking up a local delicacy.

With so many activities right at your doorstep, Ocean Watch promises a truly unforgettable vacation experience.

Pets are welcome at Ocean Watch (a non-refundable pet fee applies).

Hidden gem on the shore

Ocean watch puts you right on the rocky shore to get lost in the ebb and flow of the tides. Easy hikes and good eating nearby. Great communication from the hosts. A bit tricky to find among the other places on the street so glad we arrived in daylight!

Cottage on Casco Bay

We loved the location and the cabin was more suited for 2 instead of 3 or 4. It really had all of the amenities, but found a few that we’re missing or could have improved our stay, but they were very minor. We would come back and stay.

A Peaceful Getaway by the Water

We sat out every morning and evening listening to the water and watching the fisherman going out and in. It is a lovely location and the cabin is just right for two people. Thank you for a great week away.

Our near perfect vacation.....

The property is everything one would expect in a shore front cottage. The sunrise views were gorgeous and the surroundings were quite private and quiet. We have already reserved a week next summer!
