This charming cottage is full of character and offers a comfortable living space, kitchen with all the necessities, three bedrooms, and washer/dryer.

Inside the cottage, you'll find a galley kitchen with all you need to cook a delicious Maine meal, a dining room table for 6, and a living room with cable TV that opens to the multi-level decks. Upstairs you'll find a full bathroom with shower/tub combo and a single sink, a bedroom with a queen, a bedroom with a queen and twin bunkbed, and a master bedroom with a king and ocean views. The washer and dryer are located in the basement area.

Use this lovely, comfortable cottage as your home base while you discover the peace and quiet of Casco Bay's rocky shoreline, picturesque coves and nature at its most glorious. Then come back to spend relaxing evenings, starting with spectacular sunsets from your own little slice of Maine's coastal heaven!

Sorry, pets are not allowed at Coveside.

****The neighbor's plans to renovate their cottage have been scrapped, so major construction at the home next door is no longer an issue for the 2024 season. The neighbors are hoping to re-build their deck in the Fall of 2024, but that project has not been confirmed. As the owner realizes the deck construction would affect the enjoyment of our guests, he has offered a 15% discount on the base rental rate for guests who are impacted by the possible deck construction in the Fall of 2024. This discount will only be given should the construction commence during a guest's stay. For any questions, please request more information or reach out to MaineStay Vacations directly.

We had a wonderful time. Had a couple issues though. Upstairs bathroom smelled, found the tub mat thrown in the closet two days later which was the problem of the stench. Also queen size bed in room next to bathroom was found to have a broken frame. Sofas need to be replaced, were very uncomfortable and outdated

The best feature of this property was the location, the rest was a real letdown. The property was overgrown and very sad and not maintained. The interior was clean but everything about it was very outdated. For any seniors out there, it would have been nice to know that all the bedroom were upstairs and the laundry facilities wereinthe basement.

This was our fourth time staying at 11 Cove side and we love it more and more each time. We spent countless hours just watching the scenery from the back deck. We rented kayaks from Seaspray and enjoyed the coastal line. Kids love catching crabs at high tide, Fishing, swimming to the rock, and riding bikes to Pammy‘s ice cream. The adults just love wiling away the day reading and watching the ducks. It’s a very special place!

Lovely cottage on the bay but very close to our neighbor where they were doing construction. Clean as a whistle but two of the sinks could use some Draino.
Enjoyed sitting on the deck watching the tides change.
There was a General store near by but it was about 20 minutes into town.

Another beautiful vacation spent at Coveside. We use to come here 12+ years ago with our daughters. This time we stayed with some of our granchildren. So many amazing memories have been made here. To say we love this place is an understatement. Now if we could just convince them to sell it to us lol.

The house was clean and ready for us when we arrived. It was so nice to have the walking beach there at low tide. We observed the hermit crabs and enjoyed the water. We were disappointed that the Adirondack chairs were all broken, but made do with the chairs on the level above.
One point though: beware of the step going into the back bedroom. It’s an accident waiting to happen.
Thanks for another great stay.

Although this cottage does require some TLC, the view more than makes up for it's flaws. We thoroughly enjoyed sunsets on the deck and waking up each morning to spectacular sunrises. The kitchen is very well-equipped as we are self-proclaimed "foodies" and did not want for anything in the food prep department! The location is also great as it is close to nature reserves for hiking and within bike-riding distance to restaurants and a quaint, outdoor ice cream shop. We would love to return to this spot, especially if the issues we cited (hard-to-use kitchen and bathroom faucets and if a new coat of fresh paint on the deck were completed.) All in all we had a great stay!

I enjoyed a wonderful three week stay at Coveside. The house was very roomy and comfortable and had heat, which I needed in September. I love the location as it is on the water, in a quiet neighborhood. The big windows offer wonderful views and the porches allow options for seating. I will be back!

We had a great week at Coveside. The view was gorgeous and we enjoyed eating on the patio and watching the water through out the day. Our kids loved collecting starfish, shells, crabs and hermit crabs on the small beach. The house was very family friendly and had some toys available and stairs to the basement blocked off which was nice. We also traveled to several nearby beaches for days trips, which were a short drive from the house.

GREAT LOCATION AND VIEW. This quaint cottage was perfect for our stay. We could easily get to local restaurants, shopping, etc. View was awesome. It could use some tender loving touches in a few areas. The management were excellent in responding to our needs. Very lovely!

This house is a gem because of its view and location right on the water; at low tide you can walk the large expanse of beach; at high tide you can swim right from the deck. It is an older house and the furnishings downstairs are tired but the beds upstairs are comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. It had everything I needed.

My family of six adults had a wonderful and relaxing stay at Coveside. The house was comfortable and had the right bedrooms for each of us. But the best part was the tri-level decks right on the water. Tide pools for exploring, lobster boats and even a seal or two gave us plenty of great things to explore and see. Do yourself a favor and purchase the linens for high quality, cleanliness and convenience.

The home was wonderful and an enjoyable way to spend a week away from it all in the summer. The location on the beach lets you just relax and not have to go anywhere. We enjoyed Erica’s seafood and buying lobsters right from the pier. We loved watching the different tide levels and exploring the beach at all times of the day. It’s such a peaceful place, Especially at night watching the stars. Great hiking all over Harpswell especially the cliff trail. Beautiful sunsets right from the deck. Portland is just 45 mins away. Perfect Maine getaway.

Coveside was an amazing place for us to stay with out large family (2 adults and 5 children). There was plenty of room for us to hang out inside the house, and lots of room on the spacious decks as well. The view was breathtaking and the sunsets at night were sound beautiful. Our family has stayed a many locations in the area (on Bailey Island, and Harpswell), and this is the first rental where we said we would definitely return! The MaineStay staff was outstanding and a pleasure to work with! Thank you so much for an awesome vacation!!

The home and views are beautiful. It is spacious and has everything you need. It is perfect for those who have elderly or children that want to be in the ocean but you don't want to pack all the beach stuff and walk the distance. The ocean is only a foot step from your deck. If you need anything or have a problem, Mainestay Vacations are in touch with you and respond instantly. I didn't want to leave and will for sure return soon!

Coveside was a perfect house for my family vacation. It was very comfortable and being right on the water was amazing! Several reviews of the house said that their children enjoyed hunting for sealife and I can say that my children, age 19 to 26, also enjoyed the hunt! This house is perfect for all ages! I loved the sunsets, a sunrise and my morning coffee on the deck. I hope to enjoy it next year!

The house was fantastic, had everything we needed. The view and access to the ocean were wonderful. Collected may shells to take home. We saw fireworks two of the nights we were there furnished by people in other cottages. Would definitely rent again and want it next year for 2 weeks instead of 1.
