Beautiful views
Beautiful sunsets over the water!! Nice deck with table and chairs and large windows in living room and upstairs bedroom overlooking the water. Bedroom with twin beds is small and bedroom in basement is a bit stuffy but
both are ok. You can walk along the beach when the tide is out and take dips when the tide is high. House was well supplied. We enjoyed our stay and had fun exploring the area! Be sure to eat at The Dolphin!

Reviewer Comments:
We’ve never stayed in the midcoast area before and were very pleased with our experience with the Bay Vista property and MaineStay Vacations. The property had amazing views and was in a nice, quiet area, very conducive to a relaxing vacation. It was clean, well-stocked and comfortable - we spent a lot of time enjoying the views from the deck, kayaking from nearby George Mitchell Park and driving around the area. It was very humid during our stay, so we were very happy to have A/C!The MaineStay team was very informative and super responsive, making sure we had all of the necessary info to fully enjoy our stay.

Our stay at Bay Vista was perfect! The views were amazing, sunsets included! It was great to be able to walk the beach at low tide and swim at high tide. The home was very clean and comfortable, loved all the windows, and had everything we needed. The location was great, various areas to explore locally, and convenient to have Brunswick close by. The management team was great with providing us all necessary info, and always quick to respond if we had questions. We look forward to staying here again- thank you!!

Sunset central
Beautiful views of Middle Bay. Mornings watching the lobster boats and evenings watching the sunsets, all while listening to the sea gulls discuss who's getting the day's findings. Compliment this taste of Maine with a fresh and brightly remodeled cottage, and you can't go wrong staying here if you're looking to experience everything Maine coast has to offer.

Great place, well appointed, would repeat!
We thoroughly enjoyed out stay at Bay Vista in Harpswell Maine this past week. The house was right on the water, with a great porch, awesome views, the best sunsets ever! It was very comfortable for my husband and I and we could have accommodated another 4 people easily. The owners provided any item you might need in a kitchen and we were lacking for nothing to cook every night! The house was very clean, in very good condition with no real complaints at all. We would recommend this property anytime and would surely do it again another time.

Great home base for a beautiful vacation
We spent three nights at Bay Vista and had a fantastic time. The house has everything you need and was a very comfortable place to wake up and come home to after exploring the area during the days. You can't beat the gorgeous views of the water from the master bedroom and living room. The amenities were all in working order and everything was nice and clean.
The nearby SchoolHouse Cafe deserves special mention and immediately became our favorite way to start our days - delicious coffee and breakfast. Each day started there, included a couple of beautiful hikes (they are everywhere and well marked), walks along coves and beaches, and delicious dinners in the Harpswell area or Brunswick (loved El Camino).
We highly recommend Bay Vista. Hope to get back there someday...

House with all the amenities on the water...
This is the second time we have stayed in Bay Vista. When we arrived the house was clean and well stocked with toiletries and the basics for cooking. Everything worked well and it was very comfortable for 5 adults and 2 children. Nice deck over looking the bay with a big gas grill.
We would recommend this property highly.
Places to eat...Five Islands, The Dolphin, Schoolhouse Café, Erica's, and for dessert Gelato Fiasco in Brunswick.
Things to do...Portland Seadogs baseball, a schooner sail out of Portland, hiking, kayaking, and driving around visiting the small towns and lighthouses. There is also a bike ride in Portland of lighthouses which we heard about. And watching the sunset over the islands across the bay.

We highly recommend a stay at Bay Vista
In fact, I just recommended Bay Vista to my brother for his upcoming Maine
trip. As the other reviewers note, the view is second to none - whether sitting on
the deck or looking out from any of the many bay-facing windows in the
house. We were often out and about exploring the area from Harpswell
to Portland, but Bay Vista was a lovely gathering spot for our family.
We have stayed in other rentals over the years and after we arrive we realize that the online pictures were clearly outdated; however, Bay Vista looks just like it does in the photos. The house has updates throughout, including new appliances, fixtures, and flooring; yet, the updates don't take away and even enhance the Maine cottage feel that we were hoping for on our trip.

Serene stay in your lovely vacation home
Thanks for a wonderful stay in your serene vacation home. My family and I enjoyed visiting many of the local spots you suggested like the Dolphin Restaurant and getting take out from Erica's Seafood in Harpswell. Brunswick and Bath were fun to explore, we like the Maine Maritime Museum in Bath. We used the house as a base for great day trips to Portland, biking Peaks Island, hiking at Wolf's Neck Woods State Park & Camden Hills State Park. My teens enjoyed shopping in Freeport.
The house was clean and comfortable. My in laws loved the privacy of the basement bedroom. The view from the master was so beautiful my husband and I didn't want to get out of bed each morning. We are returning to your home this summer, Maine in May is not crowded which we enjoyed, this year we want to experience the summer season in Maine. Can't wait to return.

Thank you for a wonderful stay
I just logged on in hopes of booking a week this fall at Bay Vista (will be our 3rd vacation there), saw these two negative reviews and felt I had to post our experience, which has been nearly perfect every time. We adore this place. The deck is just heaven - perfect sunsets, propane grill, and a staircase down to the water with a peaceful little landing that's great for reading.
I'm guessing housekeeping is not able to check every dish/utensil every week as this would be prohibitively expensive, so the dish issue seems more like slobby previous renters than a management issue. I'm pretty OCD about cleanliness and this is one reason we love this place - everything seems new and very clean. I have slept in all of the beds at one time or another, and they are all very comfortable. We did email the owner once about an issue with the grill, and they responded immediately (fixed the next day) and thanked us for letting them know.
The bottom line is there are a lot of questionable rentals out there and this is NOT one of them. Perfect location, great amenities, clean and well-appointed. We wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Summer '12 at Bay Vista
My family of six adults had a wonderful stay in Harpswell, a town we have visited twice before. Thankfully, our memories of our recent "Maine"event" do overshadow the troubling issues we encountered at Bay Vista. The upstairs sink was still dripping (as remarked by a July visitor) when we arrived (plumber came our fourth day) and the basement bedroom has puddling and mold growing due to water condensation in the laundry/furnace room. This is a dangerous issue, not only for breathing purposes but also for safety reasons. We dealt with the same lack of kitchen amenities as the July renter and add to that the dilapidated dining table and chairs we cautiously used. Debbie at Homes and Harbors delivered two deck chairs for us as the homeowner had only provided four for use by the six of us. What saved the house for us was the beautiful view, magnificent sunsets, peaceful location and the deck. Unfortunately, it is my opinion that the homeowners themselves lack respect for their paying house guests.

Bay Vista
The house itself was very nice except the dishes in cabinet were dirty with food. Some of the pans looked like they were put away dirty. There was no broom to sweep the floors and the upstairs bathroom sink had a leak, there was a bowl under it that we had to constantly empty. We had to go out and buy all paper products to use for the week. It would off been nice also if there was a pot big enough to cook lobsters. Also needs to get another barrel for the trash one is not enough and get furniture that is comfortable to sit on
I don't feel this place was worth the money they charged. We will definitely be back next year but would not want to stay here again.
