You can spend the perfect day reading a book, sipping cocktails with friends, or just enjoying the view of the Rockland breakwater and lighthouse. This property provides direct access to the beach below. The home boasts two kayaks for your use, as well as a fire pit complete with Adirondack chairs for an evening gathering of marshmallow roasting and savoring ocean breezes!

The first floor of this lovely home has a family room (with sleeper sofa), two bedrooms each with queen-sized beds, a full bath and direct access to the back yard through sliding glass doors. The second floor has a living room, dining room, kitchen, one bedroom with a queen-sized bed, a full bath and the master bedroom.

Beautiful Trip

Everything was A-One from the start to finish. The house is beautiful, well equipped, beautifully furnished and with lots of room. The location is in a beautiful setting. The views are worth the drive. Nothing disappointed. I hope to return.

Beautiful spot

The house is beautifully situated on Rockland harbor a short kayak away from a beautiful beach. The house was a little dirtier than we would have liked upon checkin with a fair bit of black mold in the upstairs bathroom and on the window and doorframes. Other than that the house is well provisioned and in a great location

Amazing rental

We had an amazing week stay at this house. The only negative part about the trip is that we only rented it for a week, we didn't want to leave. The check in was super easy, and we were encouraged to reach out to the management company if we had any problems, which we didn't. The view is spectacular. If you have not visited Maine before, the tide change is quite extreme and at low tide the cove is empty. The three men/boys that are in our family enjoyed that as they searched for crabs and anything else left behind. The cove was a great place for kayaking, and we brought a few of our own. The neighborhood was super quiet and the property provides full privacy. The house provides all that you will need to entertain large families for meals and relaxation. The time on the deck was relaxing, and we had a back yard fire multiple times. We had 7 people and there was room for more. So glad we picked this house, and it was worth the money for an amazing vacation. There is so much to do in the Rockland area, either land or sea based activities.

Wonderfurl Summer Stay on the Bay in Owls Head

Beautiful home right on a small bay in Owls Head that our families enjoyed. Close to Rockland and several interests there, Breakwater/Owls Head lighthouses, and ferries/boats nearby to head out on the water. The home had some fun games and large gathering places inside and outside. Highly recommend staying here!

Super location

This house has the most amazing views from the deck. We saw beautiful sunrises, rolling fog, and scudding clouds as the tides came in and out. The beds were comfortable. Location is great, close to Rockland, Rockport, Camden, Owls Head and Thomaston. We had great meals at McLoons and Ada’s Kitchen. Hiked at Camden Hills Stare Park, Owl’s Heads Lighthouse, Beech Hill Preserve, and Rockland Breakwater. Only disappointment is the ability to kayak. We did not feel safe using the steps down to the water, never mind trying to carry a kayak down.

Maine experience

Location was as good as described and expected. No complaints other than minor cleanliness that had to do as much with the recent weather (very wet and rainy) and the hurricane that came through on our departure day. Amenities were excellent with nothing that we found needing. We highly recommend anyone considering this property.

Great location

The house was very clean, and essentially as described in the VRBO listing. The main living area is on the second floor, with large sitting and dining areas, complemented by a very spacious deck across the entirety of the water-side of the house. The location on the southern outskirt of Rockland is excellent for quick access to the town's many restaurants, shops and cultural sites, and for day trips in the area. One thing to be aware of if your party has members who have any difficulty walking, is that the main/second floor is up a very steep set of stairs from the front door and garage.

Perfect stay in Rockland

Very comfortable home with a fantastic waterfront view. Well stocked with kitchen items, smart TVs, and kayaks. It was incredibly easy to get into to town. It was nice to have air-conditioning when the weather started to warm up. We had a top-notch experience.

Owls Head rental

The rental was exactly as shown and described on VRBO. It was an extremely clean property, furnished nicely, and the kitchen was well stocked. The view of the water was especially nice at high tide, the deck is quite large too. The only concern was the steps leading down to the water to launch the kayaks was steep and cumbersome. For our age group being older, it was a chore to go up and down the steps with the equipment. However, very pleased with our week long stay !

Everything was perfect!! Beautiful home and setting. Perfect location. Every amenity available. Plenty of room for all 8 of us to have private space, as well as gathering for meals and leisure activities. Jennifer was absolutely terrific!! I booked months in advance.

Waterfront Dream

We had a great stay in this property! The house is sunny and more than roomy enough for the four of us, with a truly excellent, well-equipped kitchen. The deck and yard overlooking the large inlet are more delightful than the photos can ever tell. Kayaks got a workout, and at two minutes into Downtown Rockland, the location is perfect--quiet but close to the action. BTW, the property managers were great--answered a couple of small questions, even after hours, and were thorough and efficient before and during the stay.

Location location location

You can't be in a better spot. Great views, a chance to experience to large tidal variations, wildlife and birds. A seafood shop and butcher shop just down the street. Only location issue is the next door neighbor wo can be a bit overbearing if you aren't very attentive to your parking. The house itself is in need of some updating. Stained rugs; some kitchen stuff very well taken care of while other stuff is overused, missing or broken; blinds that didn't work; a grill that requires special handling, an outdoor railing with exposed nails, etc., are what keeps this from being a 5-star visit. The rental management company was very helpful more than not, but didn't address all our issues. The mini-splits in the upstairs weren't as effective as we had hoped, and the back screen door is a total pain as it operates poorly and has a gap to let bugs in. Despite those minor issues, we had a wonderful time and would definitely consider staying here again.
