Photos and Description of the Freeport vacation house rental
3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, Sleeps 6 adults & 2 children.

Relax in our light, spacious home with cozy stone fireplace, large comfortable bedrooms, and views from oversized windows.

For your convenience, bed & bath linens are provided, along with every kitchen appliance and utensil you could need, and Internet and large TVs with DVD players!

Sip your morning coffee on our deck overlooking a scenic cove and the ocean through tall pines. Relax in the hammock with a good book as you breathe in the fragrance of salt air and pine needles on gentle breezes. Intoxicating!

If you want to be on the go, the number of things to do in our area is endless! In addition to Freeport's well-known shopping outlets and restaurants, you can get out on the water in a variety of ways: you can fish from our dock, cruise around the islands, canoe, kayak, whale watch, accompany a lobsterman as he checks his traps, and swim at nearby beaches.

Lighthouses, museums, antique shops, parks, zoos, hiking trails, working farms, and charming country fairs are all within a short drive. We will gladly share with you our favorite spots to visit and where the locals go to dine! Let us know in advance if you have a particular interest.

In the evening, cook on our grill or head out to an area restaurant - there's one to suit every taste! Go for a stroll, watch the sun set, or head to Freeport's new cinema. Didn't get to L.L.Bean yet? Go at midnight - they're open 24/7! End your day with a relaxing bubble-massage in our spa and sink into our comfy beds for your best sleep ever. Vacation doesn't get any better than this!

What's special about our property: The beauty of our rental is that you can be perfectly content to relax here at the house without going anywhere else! You're sure to see great blue herons, snowy egrets, cormorants, and many kinds of ducks in our cove. Watch seagulls crack open clam shells by dropping them on the rock ledges. A pair of osprey that nest nearby often stop by our cove to fish. If you're lucky you might see a raccoon, porcupine, skunk, fox, coyote or deer - all of which have wandered through our yard. Our roads are ideal for jogging, cycling, roller-blading or just plain strolling. A moose crossed the road just down the street from us last summer. That was a delightful surprise, but I can't promise you'll see one during your stay!

At night, our skies are phenomenal for star-gazing. Though Freeport is known for it's shopping, non-shoppers will have no trouble enjoying themselves. Did I mention golf yet?! There's a reason the state motto is 'the way life should be'!

Enjoyable and Welcoming Home

This house is just delightful with warm and welcoming homeowners. The quiet setting, right on the water, is just the place to relax and unwind, but only 10 minutes from the center of Freeport. The house is exactly as described with the latest appliances. We had a delightful time and can't wait to return.

Lobster-Fest

5 of 5
Submitted: September 12, 2009 Stayed: September 2009
My husband & our friends come to Maine every fall to eat lobsters. We have outdoor cooking equipment, which my husband uses to cook 4-6 lobsters at a time. (We bought live lobsters at the Harraseeket Lunch & Lobster in South Freeport, which is worth a visit for a casual lunch,even if you don't cook your own lobster. They don't serve beer or wine, but do allow you to bring your own adult beverages.)
This rental property was perfect for our needs. The deck & yard are spacious with lots of seating & the backyard is level & private, lots of trees & birds (We had an osprey land in a branch above us with a flounder in its talons!) The dock & the hammock are great for reading in the sun or shade. The house is immaculate, spacious & quiet. Three couples, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms-everyone was happy! We've stayed in many rental properties, but Cove House is the best-equipped place we've ever visited. We lacked for nothing! The owners are very helpful, providing stacks of visitor information regarding shopping, tourism,restaurants,etc.
We didn't eat at any local restaurants, but understand there are several excellent choices in Freeport. We visited the Maine Wildlife Park, & did see the moose, but would recommend a visit only if you have children.
We would highly recommend this property!

My husband and I just spent a week in this house with our 2 young kids. If you are looking for something spacious, comfortable, sparkling clean and very well-stocked, this house will be a great choice. The owners are very nice and helpful and the house had everything we needed. The kids loved going down to the dock to check on the tide, the canoe was fun when the tide was high, and even on the rainy days we were able to relax and enjoy some "inside time." There were ample towels, linens and paper goods. If you are looking for a rental in this area of Maine, without hesitation, I would recommend staying here.
