Spectacular view from every window

The listing photos accurately capture the expansive view of Penobscot Bay, and the very clean, recently renovated open interior. The owner was very quick to respond to my few questions. The house is very secluded and quiet, despite being near a major road. It was a perfect setting for a relaxing week.

Simply Beautiful!

Everything was wonderful! Home was beautiful. The view of the bay was spectacular! Definitely will try and return. Only comment is that it might be helpful to have a more prominent marker that shows where the entry to the driveway is 😊. Otherwise wouldn’t change a thing!

Family Visit

We had a wonderful time at Windows on the Ocean. We have not stayed at many vacation rentals, but I must say, this one was amazing and we will be back! The home was incredible, very clean, a perfect size for our family to spend the week together. You couldn't beat the views from the deck to watch the early morning sunrise or just take in the beauty of the bay when you were cooking dinner!

Great Time

My family and I enjoyed our week staying at Windows on the Ocean. House is great; clean, modern with everything you need. The views of the bay from the deck and even from inside are fantastic. Quiet and secluded but only a few minutes from Camden and Rockport harbors. Sunset sail on the Schooner Appledore was great. Nice hike and views at close by Beech Hill Preserve.

Slice of heaven!

I can't say enough for how amazing this property and stay were! The house is gorgeous and the views of the ocean from anywhere in the house with its floor to ceiling windows was nothing short of paradise. The open floor plan was perfect for the entire family.

Return to a peaceful place

This property is one of the many reasons Maine has become my happy place. This was my second stay here, and I was equally as pleased as the first. I wanted to celebrate a quiet birthday and this was the perfect setting. The home is spacious, secluded and immaculate. The views are incredible! The kitchen is well appointed and easy to navigate. The property is located minutes from great dining and activity choices. Timothy was a wonderful host. I look forward to returning in the future.

Get Away

Our week at Windows on the Water was amazing! It was all about the view...the ever changing light, lobster boats, schooners, lighthouse, and wonderful sun rises. One foggy morning, we woke up to a small section of the ocean shimmering like diamonds outside the bedroom, where somehow a shaft of sun was getting through-absolutely MAGICAL! It was a pleasure to cook in the well appointed kitchen. The house is located in a private location, but just a short drive from museums, grocery stores, and fine restaurants. A big shout out to the property manager/owner, Tim, who promptly answered all of our questions. The reservation and checkout process couldn't have been easier. Overall, a memorable stay and a great house to share with family and friends Highly recommended!

Maine coastline house

The kitchen and living room were very nice, the view is terrific and the location is both convenient to the Camden & Rockland area. The kitchen is well stocked. The problem is with the main bedroom. It needs a good cleaning. A VERY good cleaning. There are big dustballs behind the bed and bedside tables. The sheets for the bed need to be replaced. Most of the white towels for the main bath had yellow stains on them. The bath mat needs to be replaced as well. The house has a terrific view and we enjoyed that immensely. But the owner needs to pay more attention to the cleaning and the age of bed linens and towels.

Peaceful

After traveling to Maine annually for 14 years, this property beautifully added to why I love Maine. The views are stunning! The location is great (private, secluded). The home is clean and spacious. The owner also gives great directions to the property (with pictures). I traveled solo this year for R&R, but I will return with family.

Gorgeous house and views

The house was huge, spacious, well-appointed, and very comfortable. The deck was enormous, and the views from almost everywhere were stunning. No neighbors in sight, very private, quiet, and relaxing. The place was even better than expected from the listing!

Great Trip

Husband and I stayed here for our 10 yr anniversary and my birthday and it was fantastic. The views were amazing with wall to wall windows to the ocean. The house was fully stocked with everything you would need for an extended stay along with a large group of people. We did have an issue with the heating that we had to engage the owner with. Owner responded within 5 minutes of my message via the VRBO app and then called to help troubleshoot the heater. Stayed on the phone to ensure we were successful. This was a great place to stay and close to everything we wanted to see and do while being secluded and private. There were so many things to do in the house that we didn't get a chance to use everything!

Perfect place to escape and enjoy the ocean

What an amazing place! We enjoyed sunrises over the ocean and watching the tides roll in and out all the from the warmth and comfort of a beautiful home. Hours in front of floor to ceiling windows. Just perfect.

Great house with amazing ocean views

Great place to relax and disconnect, close to everything, but very private. The sweeping views of the ocean were amazing, we saw ospreys and cormorants, porpoises and seals. The carpet that other reviews mention has been replaced by laminate in the main living area. Would recommend and return in the future.
