Photos and Description of the Georgetown vacation cottage rental - 2 BR Cottage, 1.5 Baths, Sleeps 4-5

Stunning panoramic views abound from this charming & spacious cottage just a short stroll from a beautiful private sand beach. Your most stressful moments may be choosing through which window to enjoy the endless colors and textures of surf, sky and multitude rocks. Bowsprit has its name because its vista and proximity to the sea are like being perched on the bowsprit of a windjammer, a perfect setting for a family holiday or romantic getaway. As guests in the small private community of Indian Point, you will enjoy full access to several sandy beaches, miles of beautiful rocks, tide pools teeming with critters, a nature preserve, and even a boat launch on a sheltered bay. A spacious master bedroom, with private half-bath and queen bed, is just down the hall from a full bath, second bedroom, and separate den. The heart of this 1,200 square foot home is the airy, window-filled living/dining/kitchen with spectacular ocean views from every window.

Further details for this vacation cottage rental in Georgetown, Maine

Romantic Hideaway or Family Cottage: Drift off to sleep with the murmuring of the surf and wake to sunrise dancing across the water. Stay up late for spectacular starry skies, the flashes of vigilant lighthouses, and romantic moonlight sparkling on the sea. For lovers of all ages, Bowsprit is that special place to be away from it all with that special person in one of the most beautiful spots in Maine. Or make this your home base for a wonderful Maine family vacation with beach days and explorations here at Indian Point interspersed with trips to the mainland for museums, shopping in Freeport, poking about the shops in Boothbay Harbor, a schooner trip, charter fishing, antiquing, concerts and exhibits.

Why Get Back in the Car?: Without even searching for the car keys, you can swim and play at nearly empty sandy beaches, find a shipwreck nearly lost among the beach roses, explore woods and salt marshes, kayak tidal rivers, watch birds or perhaps playful seals or dolphins with our telescope, identify anemones and starfish in the tide pools, indulge in beach novels or rekindle that latent interest in watercolor painting.

Also check out our Website!: Please visit our Website (link below) to find a Photo Gallery, links to local activities, and many Guest Comments. New in 2007! The electric power at Bowsprit is now 100% emission-free electricity from Maine Renewable Energy. It comes from a combination of low impact Maine hydro power produced in Maine and wind power from the Northeast. It costs more, but we believe it is critically important.

Other Activities: birding, painting, kayaking, hiking

Maine at its best.....in October

Vicki, Barb and Lynne Red Hook, NY
Review Submitted: October 28, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
The home was warm, welcoming, and best of all spotless. The owners went the extra mile to provide all the necessary information and accomodations to make our vacation perfect. The description on-line is perfect, but the beauty and peace are beyond description. The gas fireplace was a perfect touch. The stars seemed to be just an arms length away. Bowsprit is a perfect place to get away from it all and admire nature at its best. Since our stay was in October we had limited choices of restaurants, due to them being closed for the season. But, we loved every minute of our time at this wonderful home. Thanks for the hospitality.

Unbeatable view

Reid El Dorado Hills, CA
Review Submitted: January 2, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2008
Cottage more than lived up to web-site billing. Ocean views too big and bold in person to capture in simple photos. Great windows take advantage of view. *Quality telescope and binoculars provided and were ALWAYS being used. Lobstermen (and women), lighthouses, wildlife and watching the sun rise over the ocean. Owner's representative very helpful.
