Sand Dollar - Capture stunning sunsets from this beautiful ocean view home

Capture the beautiful pink, orange, and purple hues of a Harpswell sunset from this well-appointed 3BR, 2BA ocean view home with a ROW to the sandy/pebbly shores of Middle Bay.

Inside, the afternoon light floods the windows of this beautifully updated home. Guests will enjoy cooking and entertaining in the spacious kitchen, complete with granite countertops, a center island, gas stove, double ovens, and a wet bar, then gathering around the large dining room table for a lobster feast. Relax in the living room accented by the warmth and comfort of the propane fireplace on chilly evenings or retreat to the ocean view deck to take in the sights and sounds of the shore. Off the dining room, you'll find a bedroom with a king bed and TV and on the other side of the home is the primary bedroom with a king bed, TV, and ocean views, opening to a deck. The third bedroom offers one twin bed and one full bed. There are two full bathrooms, one with a shower/tub combo and laundry, and the other with a shower.

Outside, there is a spacious deck, yard, and access to the oceanfront via a ROW, just steps away, perfect for swimming, launching a kayak, or combing the beach for treasures.

Located in a small oceanside neighborhood, you'll enjoy being "away from it all," while still being just a short drive from local restaurants and shops including Uncle Pete's Community Market, Dolphin Marina & Restaurant and Erica's Seafood, as well as the many restaurants and shops of Maine Street, Brunswick.

Come experience "the way life should be" at Sand Dollar Cottage!

Dogs are welcome at Sand Dollar Cottage, non-refundable pet fee applies.

Loved it!
We loved our week at the Sand Dollar! The place was clean, comfortable beds, well appointed kitchen, with beautiful windows to take in the wonderful views! This location is an easy drive to Portland (1 hour), Freeport, Boothbay (45 min), Rockland, Rockport and Camden (1 hour), and we took advantages of it all! Our hosts provided great communication and were very responsive. We would come again!

Sunset Cove retreat
House was very spacious and well equipped. Everything you need, especially for the kitchen. Comfortable beds, wonderful view of the cove and access to the beach is convenient. AC in the bedrooms came in handy during some unusually hot,humid weather. Easy access to Brunswick.

Comfortable and well stocked with everything needed
We enjoyed everything about this home. The only problem was the check in information was incorrect and I ended up having to climb through an unlocked window to get inside. The directions indicated the key was under the mat….not. Once inside we got the door code and all was fine from there on.

Sand Dollar Cottage is a wonderful retreat!
We live in Florida and we wanted to spend some time in middle Maine on the coast. This house is in a great location in Harpswell, near Brunswick and Bath. Lovely water view and access to a private pathway to the beach. We really enjoyed the fall foliage and temps.

Harpswell Family Gathering
We have a large family and needed additional housing for our home in Harpswell. This property was a terrific fit. The view of the ocean is fantastic, with a West facing sea view so sunsets are beautiful. The kitchen is updated with professionally serviced linens. A very clean and cared for property with public access to the ocean not far away. A terrific way to explore the Maine coast. We had a minor repair needed and the owners had it fixed by Noon of the same day. Great hosts!

The Maine Event
The home was more beautiful than the pictures show. We enjoyed the fantastic views from the wall of windows in the kitchen and living room. The home was so incredibly clean and well stocked for any family to start their vacation the minute they unlocked the door. We enjoyed this house and all it offered.
