Really lovely vacation.

Our family had a wonderful stay at Edgewater Cottage. The house beautifully renovated and spotlessly clean. The views out to the water and sunsets are just amazing. We loved hearing the sound of the water from our bedroom every evening and morning. It was great to explore Bailey Island and Orr's Island as well as Harpswell. We loved Estes Lobster House and we had a really great pancake breakfast at the Grange Hall. The only downside for us was that it is a really long drive to Popham Beach, but otherwise it was perfect.

Amazing view and super low tide beach!

Although the house was nice, the water was a problem. You could not drink it and it smelled of sewage. This was not good.

Girls weekend

Everything about this property and location were fantastic. The one downside that was inconvenient was the water situation. It is well water which we had been told but it smelled like sulfur. Badly. From every faucet. We used bottled water for mostly everything (brushing teeth, washing up). Some of us chose not to shower...it was that bad.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House is showing some wear and tear . Unable to open sliders because screen have holes in them . Outdoor furniture is rusted . Had to clean the grill before using . Home could use some window air conditioners-very humid in the home . A screen door on the front door would help to circulate the air. Bar stools were dirty and too short for the bar in the kitchen . We love this place but it needs some TLC.

Missing Harpswell!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great week in Harpswell despite less than stellar weather. The cottage is directly on the water and we enjoyed kayaking and simply enjoying the view. We were surprised how well-stocked the kitchen was (being the "foodies" that we are! There was a food processor and even a lemon reamer (who would have thought!!) that made the meals we did make at "home" simple. The only thing we could think of that was missing was a cooling rack! We "made do" though, when we made cookies on one of the cooler days.) We did enjoy biking to an outside meal at Erica's Seafoods nearby. The haddock sandwich was delicious but everyone in our party was disappointed in the clam chowder there. (Higher than average chowder price too.) We also enjoyed exploring Baily's Island and Land's End area. The Cribstone Bridge was a marvel to behold. To think it's the only bridge of its type in the world! If the cottage offered air conditioning (even small window units) we would return in a heartbeat. For anyone who has health issues (i.e. the elderly or anyone with a pulmonary issue) the heat and humidity could be an problem. All the bedrooms are on the second floor so accessibility could be an issue for some too. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The beautiful sunsets that the location allows are worth the trip from anywhere! Thank you MainStay Vacations for a simple check-in and out process and for the cute customer "swag" tote!

Tolles Haus, wunderschöner Blick

Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt in diesem toll gelegenen Ferienhaus direkt am Wasser! Die großen Fensterfronten bieten einen traumhaften Ausblick – vom ersten Kaffee am Morgen bis zum Sonnenuntergang. Das Haus ist hell, gemütlich und sehr gut ausgestattet – es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Wir vermissen den Blick aufs Wasser jetzt schon!
