Your Island Connection in Harpswell, Maine

“The property is absolutely stunning and in a beautiful location, but for the price, several aspects fell short of expectations. Basic amenities were missing—a full kitchen but no salt, and a shower but no shampoo or body wash—and the bed was extremely uncomfortable. The water pressure was so low that showering was nearly impossible. The host was responsive and got it fixed, which we appreciated, but it took about a day, meaning it wasn’t resolved until the afternoon before we left. The checkout process also felt unusually involved, requiring us to strip the bed, bag the linens and towels, and take out the trash. Overall, a gorgeous place with a responsive host, but given the price, the lack of basic amenities, comfort, and the amount expected of guests left us disappointed.”

“A lovely space perfect for two people who don’t mind being close. The deck view was wonderful.”

“The house is gorgeous, well stocked, wonderfully laid out for a family - our kids loved the upstairs room. All the books, games, everything about the house felt perfect. The view and location are obviously unbeatable. Little things like reading lamps by the beds, comfy blankets for the couch, the umbrellas on the deck, were so perfect. Our problem was with the management, not the house itself. We rented the house specifically because of the dock, and our love of kayaking in Maine. We even rented kayaks for the week from the place suggested two weeks before our trip by the management company. When we got to the house we found the dock was broken. The walkway to the beach is also not as convenient as described in the listing. In the end we were not able to kayak at all. We feel for the owners of the house who lost the dock in a storm -but this was never communicated to us before the trip and it was a lengthy and more hostile than necessary process to reach an agreement on a solution.”

“Nice place for a getaway”

“Beautiful location with incredible nearby walks, cool house, and lots of space for all! House stays warm even with windows open but worth it for the location!”
