Gorgeous ocean views from contemporary home perched at water's edge. Nestled among the trees on 2 1/2 private, secluded acres with 500' of waterfront on a quiet cove at the end of Kehail Point.

Further details for this vacation cottage rental in Westport Island, Maine

FAQs:: Can I drive onto the island, or do I need to take a ferry? You can drive. Westport Island is connected to the mainland by a bridge. Can I swim there? The shoreline is rocky, but at high tide, you can jump off the big rocks, or you can use the community dock a short walk away. How close to the water is the cottage? A stone's throw (literally)! Is there a beach I can walk to? There is a very small community beach a short walk through the woods.

Other Activities: Kayaking, canoeing, whale & seabird boat tours

Paradise

Luv Maine East Hartford, Ct., USA
Review Submitted: August 15, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
This place is like a little piece of heaven. The view from every window is like looking at a painting. The owner left a detailed overview of the entire place and also tips on where to eat. It was peaceful and relaxing away from all the hustle and bustle. Every morning we would have coffee on the deck and enjoy a seal that came to visit every morning and evening, even coming to say goodbye as we left. Usually my husband and I travel to all parts of Maine when we are on vacation, using the residence to sleep in and then get going first thing in the morning. This time, neither of us wanted to travel around being that this home was so comfortable and enjoyable we just stayed put, going out only to eat and maybe visiting one or two attractions. Lisa's home is absolutely wonderful. Just imagine waking up in your bed and the first thing your eyes see is ocean and hearing the birds singing, Wow! We are definitely coming back next year. Would highly recommend this property.

OK place bad people

Austin77 Austin TX
Review Submitted: July 23, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Sliding doors had maintenance problems that no one had fix for a long time. Clean up people called on the last day and were very rude. Loudly advised my 80 year old mother not to be there when they get there. Also make sure that the place is spotless or it will be deducted from your damage deposit. Find an other place.
Owner's Response: In the 9 years I have been renting the cottage, I have never kept any portion of the damage deposit for cleaning purposes, nor I do not charge a cleaning fee.

And after having given these guests an early (free) check-in and allowing a 4 day rental, instead of the usual 7, this was what my housekeeper walked into:

Every light was on (at 11 a.m.), windows were left open, downstairs heat was on (74 degrees), newspapers everywhere, food all over, pieces of paper and wrappers on the floor, wet towels on the carpet, fridge needed to be completely cleaned, dishes not done, garbage (half eaten food) in a beer box on the floor, other garbage not taken out, every counter and table covered in crumbs and smudge, pamphlets strung all over and the coffee maker left on and dirty.

Of the hundreds of guests I have had in 9 years, 99.9% of them respect that this is a private home. Even if they are messy or break things, I do not withhold the deposit. These folks were, unfortunately, one of the rare cases.

I am very sorry they did not enjoy their stay.

A place from heaven

MollyW Endwell, NY, USA
Review Submitted: August 13, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
Lisa and Sandy do a wonderful upkeep job on this contemporary home. The view from the circular windows up and down is terrific even on rainy days. Kayaking can be done even if the weather doesn't cooperate in the cove area. It is short drives to many interesting Maine sites. Quiet and peaceful surroundings abound with wild life. Very special place. Lynn

Wonderful corner of Maine!

Maineac Brimfield MA
Review Submitted: June 3, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
We stayed for a week at Safe Harbor, and enjoyed every minute! We saw loons & gulls every morning, so fun to watch. We also saw many seals playing in the harbor.
We launched our kayaks from the rocks in front of the cottage & had a wonderful excursion around the point to the "seals' island". Rentals were available on Rt.! nearby.

The deck was fabulous for relaxing, cooking out & vegging!
We bought wood & had fires in the wood stove on two evenings. The house was spacious and comfortable, and the location was perfect for day trips in all directions.

This harbor is so clean that it would be a pleasure to swim in the summer. The kayaking was fun, but the wind comes up suddenly.

We highly recommend Lisa's little piece of Maine paradise!

Great vacation spot!

SE North Aurora, IL
Review Submitted: June 3, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
I would highly recommend this property for those traveling with a small family or two couples. It's very clean, the beds are comfortable and the views are spectacular. Lisa is great to deal with and the property was just as described. If you like to cook, there's plenty of accessories to accompany whatever you need to prepare your meals including a good selection of seasonings.

If you kayak, you will love it! There are great little islands to explore, seals to welcome you and plenty of sea gulls, loons and ducks to keep you entertained. If you like sitting back and relaxing, you can't beat the front deck! To sit with a good book or just recline back and enjoy the water, you can't go wrong! You get sun from mid to late morning until it goes down behind the trees across the cove at sunset. There's a small public beach at the end of the cove for those with children. The cove is very clean for those who want to brave the Atlantic for a swim. It also has a public boat launch for those of you looking for a place to launch your own boat.
It's down towards the end of Wesport Island so it's a good drive from Rt. 1. We clocked it at about 8 miles from the property to Rt. 1, but it's a beautiful 8 mile drive. Wooded and skirting the coast in some spots, you won't even realized you've driven the distance when you arrive. Wiscasset is a great little town for antiques and the best lobster roll on the eastern sea board!! Red's stand is a must for those who enjoy a good lobster roll ! It's outdoor seating with a view of the Wiscasset harbor on the Sheepscott river, so it's a great place to grab a quick bite and enjoy the view.

I highly recommend this property to anyone intersted in staying in that area of Maine. It's far enough north of Portland and Freeport that you don't deal with the heavy tourist flow, but close enough that you're only an hour outside of Portland if you want to go exploring. The location is great for those who want to make day trips to Boothbay Harbor, Freeport, Portland, Bath and Brunswick. If you're intersted in taking it even further, a drive down the coast to Kennebunkport or north to Rockland and Camden are not out of the question.

It's a great property, you wont' be disappointed...we certainly weren't!!
