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

Love this property! So peaceful, family friendly with great access to The Point! Neighbors are welcoming and helpful! Although this property is perfect for our needs, it has taken a few rental hits since 2021 when we started last.

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.

Great view of Stover Cove out main living area
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. Definitely would recommend!!

Harpswell stay
Harpswell Me. is truly beautiful, and the house was great, as was the neighborhood. There were a couple of issues, the main one being that their were no chairs on the porch, but we talked to NataLee and I’m sure that will be taken care of. It would definitely be a place to which I would return.

Wonderful family vacation house!
The house was beautiful and worked out for our family group of 12! The home was very clean, and very comfortable. A nice easy walk to the bay. The owners were wonderful; quick responses to any issues. Very close to great restaurants, hiking area and Pammy’s, with the most delicious ice cream. The kitchen was perfect for home cooked meals. We all greatly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this house and area to others!

Beautiful home. Great location.
This home is beautiful. We have rented many homes for vacation stays and this was one of the best. We had 8 adults and 4 children in our group. There was plenty of room for everyone. The house was very clean when we arrived and it was great to not have to worry about bringing linens. Most of the homes we have rented require you to bring your own linens. The kitchen had plenty of pans and spices. We cooked several meals while we were there. There is allot to see in the area and this home was very centrally located. It is only about 25 minutes from downtown Brunswick, Orrs & Bailey's Island and about 45 minutes from Freeport. We also took many walks to the beach which was a short distance away.

Great Family Vacation Home in a Quiet Seaside Neighborhood
Our family of 14 had a great time in Harpswell and would definitely stay there again. Natalee was wonderful to work with and she answered our questions timely. The home itself was charming, the beds were comfortable and it is located on a nice quiet road. We took daily walks and enjoyed the beach which was 2 minutes away. The only suggestion we have would be for some additional seating on the deck.
