Breathtaking Oceanfront Views with Deep-Water Dock and Mooring


experience amazing Maine waterfront living at its best in this incredible house with stunning ocean views near the Village of Cundy’s Harbor in Harpswell. Kayak, canoe, and swim from your own protected deep-water dock with mooring.

The spacious circa 1904 home has been lovingly restored (2023) with updated baths, electric, plumbing, and air conditioning. Yet the old-fashioned ice chest (originally supplied with ice from the island’s fresh water pond), beautiful Italian marble fireplace, large kitchen farm sink, and early 1900’s clawfoot tub are all retained. The original Douglas Fir floors have also been beautifully restored.

The Dingley Island Loons Nest sleeps 8 people comfortably, boasting 3 bedrooms plus a double sleep sofa in the first-floor den with ensuite full bathroom and accessible shower. The "cottage" has 2 additional full baths upstairs, a dining room that seats 8, a first-floor sunporch, a huge well-equipped and well-stocked eat-in kitchen, and a large primary bedroom suite with its own fabulous sunroom with breathtaking 180- degree ocean views.

Located on an island with bridge access and surrounded by water on 2 sides, this spectacular house exudes old Maine charm and is the perfect home base to explore Maine’s Mid-Coast region. It is only 20 minutes to the restaurants and shops of Brunswick and Bath and to Bowdoin College, 30 minutes to Freeport and Wiscasset, and 45 minutes to Portland as well as to Boothbay Harbor and the Maine Botanical Garden.

Enjoy the quiet neighborhood and island living, perfect for relaxing and watching the tides and local wildlife — including bald eagles, great blue herons, foxes, and mink — who call the island home. You’ll love to call the Dingley Island Loons Nest your home during your stay in the beautiful State of Maine.

Additional notes: The house is not child proof, and the fireplace is not operational. The host/owner lives on the adjacent property (so is readily available for assistance if needed), but your privacy is completely respected at all times. This rental comes with use of the kayaks, canoe, dock/float, and mooring at your own risk. Not responsible for loss of or damage to renter's or guests' property.
