One of the best places to experience the beauty of nature and serenity of life is located right in Harpswell, Maine.  The Harpswells are several beautiful rural Maine communities dating back over two centuries with many historic Greek Revival and Cape Cod style houses and historic churches and public buildings.  Approximately 45-50 minutes from north of Portland, Harpswell neighbors Brunswick (home of Bowdoin College) and Freeport (home of the famous L.L. Bean shop).

For vacationers who love to be surrounded by oceans and bays, Harpswell is heaven on earth.  Here is a very affordable family rental to consider in South Harpswell.
