About Heather Allen

We are both professionals working in the Healthcare industry. We love to travel and have visited many coastal areas (East coast, West coast & Hawaii) in the USA. We've successfully raised two children who are now college graduates and pursuing their own professional careers (Attorney & Nurse). We are originally from the east coast (Maine & Virginia) and moved to California in the 80's. We still have family in Maine and visit often.

Heather Allen purchased this house in 2009
Why Heather Allen chose Harpswell

My parents completed this spec home in 1992 after my father retired from the Navy. We fell in love with the place, visiting numerous times with our children during the '90's; fishing, going out on lobster runs with my Dad and just relaxing. My parents intention was to pass the property on to their kids. With my Dad's passing, Mom finally reached a point where she could no longer take care of the place alone. We purchased the property in the summer of 2009 as our second home. We have had numerous friends comment on how beautiful the property and area are and expressing a desire to stay. It was then we decided to offer it as a vacation rental so others could share in the beauty & tranquility of this place.

What makes this house unique

The neighborhood is extremely quiet and safe. The neighbors are friendly and very respectful of each others privacy. For us, this place offers a great escape from the day to day stresses of our jobs. This is one of the few places we have ever been that truly allows us to completely unwind and 'recharge'.

Enjoyed watching the views, sitting on the dock, Kayaking & Swimming in the Bay. Also, watching the squid run at night & seeing the seal everyday. We have been coming to Maine for 18 years running and we all agree this is the Best House we have stayed in - Your home is comfortable and the view is spectacular!

Relaxing setting, great time

5 of 5
Submitted: August 8, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
We came to enjoy the coast of Maine with friends, eat lobster and relax. House was very clean and comfortable, with cool breezes off the cove. Great view of the water from the deck while relaxing with drinks. Did not cook much at the house instead hit the local restaurants; don't miss Gurnetts Trading or the Giant Stairs Seafood Grill for lobster rolls. For dinner the Dolphin was excellent, great blueberry muffins get some to go, Morse's was our favorite great food and atmosphere, seemed to be very popular with the locals. And if you can find them the Damariscotta oysters are superb. If you are planning on cooking don't pass up the Vegetable Stand on 123, home cooked items and friendly staff and a great butcher; on the way stop in at Black Sheep Winery. This was an excellent choice for a two couples get-away, we came for seafood, views, and relaxation and found it all here or a short drive away.

Owner's Response: Great overview of the surrounding area. So glad you discovered all the great places to visit. We are also fans of Black Sheep Winery and Gurnett's Trading Post. Hope to see you back.
