About this property

Rudman's Retreat. Deep waterfront 2 Bedroom home with spectacular sunset views.

Located near the south end of Bailey Island, this comfortable custom-built year-round home sits along the coast with a western view of Casco Bay and the mouth of Mackerel Cove. You can enjoy spectacular sunsets from the house or down on the pier, where you may also see Mt. Washington on the horizon.
The home has two bedrooms. Upstairs, the master loft bedroom has a queen bed and ensuite bathroom with shower. The master loft bedroom also features a western facing private balcony to enjoy your morning coffee or an evening breeze with a glass of wine. The second bedroom, located on the main floor, has a queen size bed. A bathroom is located on the first floor featuring a deep tub and shower.
Providing a private room for additional 1 or 2 guests, there is a den with a double-sized sofa bed. The den also features a desk for remote work access (via wifi) with a beautiful view.
The home is open and airy, but does have air conditioning, if needed. The kitchen has all the utensils needed for cooking that lobster dinner and enjoying the quiet of Bailey Island. The living room features a propane fireplace to remove the chill on early mornings or rainy afternoons. From the living room enjoy stepping out onto the deck for relaxing, reading, or watching lobsterman haul their traps.

We recommend a car for your stay here in Harpswell, Rudman’s Retreat is located 25 minutes from major grocery stores and the town of Brunswick. We hope you will be able to enjoy exploring all the Maine coast has to offer. If you will be flying to Maine, we recommend Portland International Jetport (PWM). If assistance is needed for varying flight arrivals of your party, Safe Harbour Property Management offers concierge rides to and from PWM starting at $125.00.

Good but some attention needed
Great location. In general the property is good but it is a little tired in a few respects.

Wonderful Stay
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful house on the ocean. Everything was so perfect for our small work retreat. The only issue we had at all was the downstairs bed was very hard. A memory foam mattress added would fix it and make his house absolutely perfect! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

Maine Perfection
Rudman's Retreat provided the quintessential Maine vacation. This is what made it perfect: a bright comfortable house, with a fully stocked kitchen, a dock to watch the sunset over the cove, a 5 minute walk to the the beach, and a super friendly and attentive host. Of the many properties we have rented Rudman's Retreat is at the top of the list.
