Located on a quiet lane in the heart of Harpswell, Sea Mist Overlook is a comfortable and inviting three-bedroom cottage with sweeping views of the ocean.

Upstairs, you'll find three comfortable bedrooms—one provides a queen bed, one a double bed, and one with two twin beds—along with a newly updated full bathroom. Another lovely feature on the second floor is another sliding door which leads out to a private upper deck offering serene ocean views—perfect for relaxing with a cup of coffee or enjoying an evening wine, all while soaking in the sights and sounds of coastal Maine.

Guests are welcome to use the shared granite steps nearby that lead to a tidal beach, great for launching your kayaks, or just enjoying the shoreline.
