The views and serenity from this property are unprecedented. Not to mention the property is immaculately clean. Far enough away from town to have privacy, but close enough to indulge in cafes, shopping, and a few high end dinners on quaint Main St. We especially loved being able to wake up to stunning sunrises and wind down with world class sunsets, explore a few lighthouses nearby, venture north to Acadia and south to Glidden Point Oyster Farm. 10/10 would visit again - if youre looking to experience quintessential Maine, this is the basecamp to do it from!

The Ocean Watch Maine house is a relaxing retreat in an incredible location for enjoying the Maine scenery any time of year. The house is expertly designed with all the comforts you would expect from a high end vacation, and the waterside access/view are second to none. It benefits from complete privacy while being conveniently close to a variety of nearby towns and dining destinations. We will definitely visit again.

My family and I (husband and 2 kids) stayed at Ocean Watch over the summer and it was absolutely idyllic. The home is brand new, spacious, and so beautifully designed. The location is private, giving a feeling that you can truly disconnect. But my favorite part was the sunset from the porch - top 3 Ive ever seen in my life. Would love to return.

My favorite feature of Safe Harbor is the big porch with the picnic tables

On the Water in Maine is always great to deal with. With the sale of Safe Harbor this year they were put to the test.

We had a great week on the lake for the 4th straight year. The peaceful cove and dock along with that grand front porch are our favorites.

We had a very good experience. Especially appreciated the quick and professional service when we had trouble accessing the house when we arrived. Your team got us info/answers very quickly and we appreciated that.

The house is fabulous! Everything is so fresh and new and the design of the home is amazing. It had everything we needed in the kitchen, which almost never happens with a rental. It was also lovely that the owners left us flowers, scones and a bottle of wine to welcome us. Wonderful experience -- we would go back!

This property is a true gem in this sweet little town of Maine. My family was overwhelmed with its beauty. The home was so well taken care of and the 10 of us had more than enough room to enjoy all of it. We fell in love with this home and we are so blessed to have been able to stay in this spectacular home. From the views on the water from each space, to the amazing kitchen, lovely pantry, and game room we enjoyed this house so much. Until we meet again Candys Cove!

Second time booking through on the water. Very easy with smooth electronic communication. Reached out to ask a question regarding the property and received a prompt response.

Repeat visit and loved it just as much. Don't need to bring anything extra, it has it all. Really appreciated the large number of water vessels (kayaks, SUPs, canoe, row boat, water pad)

A Stones Throw Away This is our 11th year, we love the location and the view! Larger beds would be nice and a recliner. Rocking chairs were new since our last visit, which was nice. Kitchen table was different from last visit but not study at all and leaves in it kept separating. Outdoor furniture is great!

When we arrived at our Ginn Point rental, I could not figure out how to work the dead bolt. It would have been helpful if instructions on how to operate that particular idiosyncratic type of dead bolt had been included in the initial written instructions. When I called into the office about locking the house, the person I talked to was very friendly and reassuring. The cell phone reception was stuttering. Maybe warn customers that cell phone reception can be problematic, and the line may be busy, so have patience, someone will respond and help. Once I was able to connect, the person at the office was great!

It was gorgeous! Amazing view with lots of windows to take advantage of the panorama. The house was both absolutely lovely and practical. It is very user friendly for an elderly person. My mother who's mobility is somewhat compromised was able to get around very comfortably, nice and open and uncluttered, no steps to deal with.
