Morningside. Waterfront home with seasonal dock and float, Pet friendly!

Located on Gun Point Road in picturesque Harpswell, set back from the bustle of summer traffic, "Morningside" awaits your vacationing family. Located 25' from the water's edge it is the perfect refuge for those looking to get away for vacation.

Whether it is the quiet serenity of a morning sunrise, evening moon rise, or sitting on the house deck viewing bald eagles, ospreys, seals, loons, or sea gulls the view is always in tune with mother nature. Morningside has large interior windows from the ground floor and 2nd floor "OPEN LOFT". These eastern windows give every area of the home great views of the inlets and coves of Quahog Bay.

At Morningside you will find the ground floor with a full sized bathroom , fully stocked kitchen, a bedroom (queen bed), a dining area table for 6, and a living room area with furniture that just invites comfort and relaxation.

Upstairs you will find TWO OPEN LOFT bedrooms. PLEASE NOTE: You must walk through the 1st bedroom to access the Primary Bedroom. A portable room divider is provided for "sight" privacy between the two bedrooms. At the top of the stairs you will find the 1st bedroom with a Queen bed.. This room faces directly east allowing guests to watch the sunrise from the comfort of their room.

Continue through the 1st bedroom into the Primary Bedroom Loft Area. This Primary Bedroom Area offers a king size bed and great views from every window. The Primary Bedroom area also offers a door leading out onto a balcony. Here guests may step out and listen to the birds in the morning or watch the stars at night.

Between these two open-loft bedrooms is a beautiful, full-sized bathroom. All bed linens and towels are provided.

"Morningside's" kitchen has a dishwasher, toaster oven, microwave, Keurig and drip coffee makers. Outside you will find a propane grill to cook on. The laundry room has a stackable washer and dryer. Wi-Fi and cable TV with HBO are also available.

Views and amenities make Morningside inviting, but we also offer swimming, fishing and kayaking right from your own private dock. Brand new dock is available from Memorial Day until fall. Fish for stripers, mackerel, or bay pollack from the dock. Bring your own kayak or rent them, contact info below. Explore the islands and inlets around Gun Point Cove, Quahog Bay, or nearby Cundy's Harbor. Fun fact: Harpswell has 216 miles of coastline, that is a lot to explore! Harpswell also offers a wonderful selection of hiking trails. Check them out at https://hhltmaine.org/get-outdoors/.

Take a drive and see all that Harpswell has to offer from gift shops, restaurants, sailing excursions, free summer concerts, to candy and ice cream shops.

Feel like a break from the coast? Freeport's famous LL Bean and a variety of outlet stores are less than 30 minutes away. Brunswick, only 20 minutes away, is home to Maine State Music Theatre, Bowdoin College with its museums, as well as a thriving downtown area with shops and restaurants. We also have 4 local golf courses.

Your pets are welcome to join you for an additional fee. We welcome up to two dogs under 50 lbs for a charge of $60.00 per PET per DAY, please advise at booking if your pet(s) will be joining you.

We recommend a car for your stay here in Harpswell, Morningside is located 20 minutes from major grocery stores and the town of Brunswick. We hope you will be able to enjoy exploring all the Maine coast has to offer.

Please note, there will be a generator provided at the home, if needed.

If you will be flying to Maine, we recommend Portland International Jetport (PWM). If assistance is needed for varying flight arrivals of your party, Safe Harbour Property Management offers concierge rides to and from PWM, please inquire.

Great house in great location

Great house and we especially loved the location. The view out the window was spectacular every morning. One day, a couple of bald eagles graced us with their presence across the channel. We enjoyed several hikes and several offerings of the islands.

Beautiful waterfront setting

This property is close enough to places to visit but is a quiet residential setting. The deck and spectacular view is what sold it for us. We brought 2 medium dogs who spent most of the time at the house on the deck. The property manager is available and responsive.

Great place

It was a very nice house with a good view and everything in it worked as it should. My biggest complaint was that the living room smelled like dog urine BAD. I sprayed everything with some odor eliminator I found and after a couple days it was livable. Outside of that, the back patio lock is a bear & the king bed needs a new mattress but nothing is perfect so those are just notes, not complaints.

This is an excellent property that lives up to its name with truly serene and stunning sunrises. Tucked away on a beautiful, little bay, there are plenty of scenic areas to explore within a short drive in all directions.

Week at Morningside in Harpswell Maine

We had a great week staying at Morningside. The house and deck were great and the view was incredible. Very private and quiet area. The kitchen was well-equipped. The beds were comfortable. The open sleeping area on the second floor wasn’t ideal, but worked okay for us.

Wonderful view with lots of windows

Overall, this is a very nice location. The view is second to none. Getting to it can be a challenge, although, because you are near the end of a long dirt road, there are few cars that pass and it is quiet. There are stairs (of course, so you can get to the master bedroom and bath) but they are narrow, be prepared to take luggage up one at a time. The house was clean and comfortable and all the windows were very clean (which helps with taking in the wonderful view). My biggest issue would be the water, be prepared to bring bottled water, drinking the water out of the tap is not recommended. There is a water cooler in the kitchen with a large water bottle that is available, but you could really go thru that quickly if you used it for cooking as well as drinking. Except for the water, this is a perfectly quiet and relaxing place to go.

Stunning morning ocean views!

Great time spent on the Harpswell coast at the Morningside VRBO rental. We had our coffee in the Adirondack chairs each morning. The house came equipped with everything we needed from fresh clean linens and towels to plenty in the kitchen to make amazing homemade dinners. We'd definitely come back again.

Exceptional Views

This house was all we hoped it would be. The views are exceptional!! The house was very clean and comfortable. We chose an off season so the road in was quite muddy, but thankfully we had a 4 wheel drive and had no problems. We even got a little snow which we were hoping for. Looking forward to another stay here in the future.

Gorgeous proerty, wonderful stay!

The location is spectacular, decor beautiful, and very clean, well kept house. We stay in vrbos all the time and we loved how well lighted the house is. The upstairs worked very well for us, with our daughter taking the queen bed. The sunrises are beautiful, house is bathed in light and sitting out on the deck is very peaceful. We liked exploring the area, Baileys Island, Orrs island, Harpswell area, drove to Old Orchard beach, Boothbay is spectacular! Highly recommend a day trip there.

Relaxing getaway

Nice place right on the water. Two of the bedrooms were upstairs with no privacy between them so just know that. Beautiful views and well stocked with games, books, etc. Kitchen needs updated and silverware was rusted. Still, overall, a nice place to see the Maine coast.

Peaceful Retreat

We really enjoyed our stay at Morningside. It was a very peaceful and private location right on Gun Point Cove. The house is exactly as pictured. Felt very much like we were in a cool treehouse with a view of the water. The house was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The balcony was our favorite spot, where we spent hours watching the water and feeling the gentle ocean breeze. It was the perfect setting for sipping my morning coffee and unwinding with a glass of wine in the evening. If looking for a quiet, peaceful retreat, I would recommend this place.

Morningside is beautiful - both inside and out!

This place is just as it was advertised - if not better. The views of the cove and ocean are fabulous. The house is very clean, very comfortable and the huge windows on the water side make it feel like a tree house. The 2 loft bedrooms limit the amount of privacy one has but the downstairs bedroom can be totally closed off for those who want that. David was quick to respond to our needs and was very accommodating. We will definitely make a return visit to Morningside!
