Welcome to Tidewatch!

Nestled on the serene shores of Basin Cove, Tidewatch is a charming 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom cottage that perfectly captures the Maine coastal experience. While the back deck sits close enough to the water it invites you to come out and sip your morning coffee, enjoy an evening glass of wine, or dine al fresco at the outdoor table while taking in the scenic views.
​​​​​​​
Step inside to a spacious family room filled with natural light and stocked with board games for cozy afternoons. Just off the family room, you'll find a bedroom with two twin beds, ideal for children or extra guests. Continue into the galley-style kitchen, fully equipped to prepare fresh lobster and local seafood. The open dining and living area feature a cathedral ceiling, walls of windows and a sliding glass door, bringing the outdoors in and showcasing the sparkling waters of Basin Cove. A full bathroom with a stand-up shower and a queen bedroom completes the cottage.

While Basin Cove is tidal, high tide provides direct water access, perfect for swimming, kayaking, or paddleboarding. Just down the road, enjoy local favorites like The Dolphin Marina & Restaurant, known for its famous haddock chowder, or Erica's Seafood. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the Curtis Cove walking trail nearby, and Stover's Beach, only five minutes away, offers excellent beachcombing, kayaking, and swimming. At high tide, even little ones can safely enjoy the cove's lagoon area.

Tidewatch is a perfect blend of coastal charm, convenience, and outdoor adventure—the ideal Maine getaway for families, couples, or friends.
Located in Harpswell, this cottage is in a rural area and on the waterfront. Arctic Museum and Arctic Studies Center and Peary-MacMillan Arctic Museum are cultural highlights, and some of the area's landmarks include Harriet Beecher Stowe House and First Parish Church. Ash Cove Pottery and Paddleworks are also worth visiting. Kayaking and scuba diving offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with hiking and mountain climbing nearby.
