Captain's Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Find simplicity, beautiful ocean views, and a quintessential Midcoast Maine experience at the Captain's Cottage on Spruce Head Island. Located on a private road, you'll have the tranquility you desire, but still be only a short drive away from Camden and Rockland. Your days will be filled with gorgeous scenes of herons, gulls, and passing lobster boats.

Enjoy a waterside deck where you can bring your morning coffee or evening glass of wine, as well as a living room with plush recliners, a TV, and the same gorgeous view. The well-equipped kitchen is more than ready for homemade meals with family and friends, offering a circular dining table with a view of the water. When it's time to wind down for the evening, the bedrooms are upstairs on the second floor, including a primary bedroom with an en suite.

The most beautiful spot, and comfy

We've rented this house for three years in a row. For anyone who wants comfy beds and a clean house and a beautiful view and a great deck and dock, and a place to launch your kayak, this is for you. It's not for fussy folks who want matching glassware or AC or new fixtures. Flawed, but comfortable, charming and lovable.

Great view and location

Great view! Great location with McLoons Lobster Shack around the corner, and easy access to Rockland and Camden. House is a little dated but the kitchen is well equipped. Could have used a deeper clean before our 1 yr old was crawling around the floors however. View = 5, location = 5, house = 3.5

Spectacular View

The location and view were perfect. We brought our own SUPs and walked out into the cove everyday. We had fires at night on the beach. Great for water activities. This little island is quiet and the house is rustic.
