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

This quaint one-bedroom cottage perched on the water's edge is the perfect spot for a small family or a romantic getaway for two. The view of the sunrise can be enjoyed while relaxing on the covered deck, from the living room window or the bench that is situated perfectly near the rocks edge. Ocean Watch sits next to the owners vacation home, and is situated so that you have your privacy. Guests will have access to a small rocky/pebbly beach that is private and perfect to launch your kayak, collect rocks and shells, or sit and enjoy a picnic lunch while watching the boat traffic go by. Should you choose to bring a kayak, you'll love exploring north to Lowell's Cove, paddling over to Ragged, Pond or Elm Island, or going through the Cribstone bridge and paddling around the beautiful Harpswell Sound. Ocean Watch is conveniently located within walking distance of the historic Cribstone Bridge, H2Outfitter kayak rentals, and restaurants serving fresh seafood. The interior of the cottage is clean and quaint and has everything you need to enjoy your vacation, complete with a lobster pot. There are so many activities to be enjoyed from this cottage that your vacation is sure to be a memorable one.

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

Ocean Watch does not have a washer and dryer, but there is a laundromat in Brunswick, just 15-20min away.

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!
