About this property

Modern cottage beautifully set on Wilson Cove with stunning westerly views

This modern Maine cottage, beautifully set with stunning westerly views of Wilson Cove and the islands of Middle Bay, is the perfect oceanside retreat for the whole family! You will love the updated interior that still maintains the quaint comfort of a classic cottage on the coast of Maine.

At Frostfish Cove, you will spend your days basking in the sun on the spacious wrap-around deck, watching the kids play in the yard, and walking down the steps to the pebbly shoreline to swim, search for sea glass and other ocean gems, and launching your kayak to explore the coast of Harpswell. After a long day of seaside adventures, you'll love cooking your favorite meal in the fully stocked kitchen and enjoying dinner and your favorite beverage while watching the sunset over the horizon. When the sun goes down, the whole family can retreat to their bedrooms, with one playroom/bedroom on the first floor with a twin pull out couch, and the other bedrooms on the second floor, one with a twin bed overlooking the ocean, another with a queen bed with large windows to enjoy the views, another bedroom with a queen bed, and a bedroom with a full bed. Also on the second floor is a spacious full bathroom with a shower/tub combo and a double vanity.

Frostfish Cove is conveniently located just 10 minutes from Maine Street, Brunswick, offering a variety of local restaurants and shops, easy access to coastal RT 1 to explore Freeport and Portland areas, and many Bowdoin College activities. The cottage is only 15 minutes from the Dolphin Marina and Restaurant (the perfect place to enjoy fresh, local seafood while you enjoy the stunning views of Casco Bay) and the many restaurants and shops of the Harpswell Islands (including Sundrenched, Cook's Lobster & Ale House, Salt Cod Cafe and Land's End Gift Shop). For those who wish to explore the outdoors in Harpswell, Frostfish Cove is close to a few hiking trails, including the "Wilson's Cove" and "Cliff" trails.

Come explore all Frostfish Cove has to offer in beautiful Harpswell, Maine and this comfortable cottage with stunning views will surely keep you coming back year after year!

Great Place To Stay

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 enjoyed our stay very much. The location was beautiful, the house was clean and well appointed, and the rental management was responsive. The beds were firm but comfortable. The house was easy to find with good parking. Everything worked as it should. Our single quibble is because we and our dog are old: the steepness of the stairs – it wouldn’t affect us if we were younger than 80ish and we still want to return – but it’s useful to know. Finally, as our next stop required them, we brought two easily carried chairs with us; we used them to sit on the stairs to the dock (for shade and view) and the dock (for ambiance and view), these options made the visit even nicer.Our previous trips to Maine were much further North and restaurant choices were limited (we don’t cook on vacation). We appreciate the restaurant recommendations from earlier renters and expected better choices than our previous trips. But the options greatly exceeded our expectations; we particularly enjoyed Harpswell Schoolhouse (we went twice and it’s as good as our favorite restaurant at home), Noble Kitchen, Taverna Khione (authentic food and amazing after-dinner drink choices), and Erica’s. We wanted to try the Dolphin, but were unable to drive past Erica’s as the lobster rolls were just too good.

Relaxing Beach Getaway

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 thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Harpswell. House was perfect for our family and gave enough privacy for us to feel at home.Location is perfect. Literally everything we needed was within 25-30 minutes: Freeport, Brunswick, Topsham...even Portland.MaineStay made it easy and they communicated every step of the way. There was a storm on the day we arrived and sections of the island lost power. They got in touch with me before arriving to give me a heads up and to let me know the house had a backup generator so nothing should be impacted. And it wasn't.

Wildlife retreat!

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: Very quiet and relaxing. Able to watch the seals, bald eagles and hawks from the deck. Kayaking was a breeze. Cleanest dog accommodating place we have stayed! Full house generator that worked IMMEDIATELY (and without any assistance from us!) when a storm came through!!!
