About this property

Relax with a cup of coffee on the enclosed sun porch and take in the views. From the expansive deck, look for eagles and osprey in the woods past the field; see herons in the farm pond; watch the boats beyond the cove; and relax as the tides come in and out. In the evening, enjoy wine and s'mores from comfortable Adirondack chairs around the fire pit. Look for fireflies in the field and shooting stars in the big skies overhead. Pleasant Beach is a short 5 minute walk down a small country lane. The beach is excellent for fishing, tide-pooling and looking for Indian beads. The cove is perfect launch for kayaking and exploring the coast. The kids can enjoy a small local park with play structures. Both Waterman Beach Rd and Pleasant Beach Rd are excellent for biking or taking a stroll. House comes equipped with a dishwasher, full oven range and refrigerator. There is a first floor bathroom with a stand-up shower stall, and a second floor bathroom with a tub. There are four bedrooms upstairs; 1 with a Queen size bed and 50” TV, 2 with double beds and 32” TVs, and one with twin bunk beds (kid appropriate).

Perfect place

Six family members needed a place for a long weekend while attending a memorial service in Rockland and visiting Tenants Harbor. This house was perfect with 4 bedrooms and lots of space on the first floor. Although bedrooms are quite small, the beds were very comfortable and linens and towels all great quality. The upstairs bathroom, with the bedrooms, has a tub but not a shower, so just one shower on the first floor means good planning with 6 people!! Kitchen is large and well stocked and we had a great time making our meals. Tight fit at the table since the only table is on the small porch and, unfortunately, we had a rainy weekend and could not enjoy the fabulous deck and outdoor dining space. Really beautiful property! Would stay again!

Planning to be outdoors or indoors?

You will need an open mind and a willingness to be fair... This house has a lot of history and potential. I do think the owners have big plans for this property and are actively working on improvements. (A fabulous deck was added before we arrived.) That being said, to rent this property you must go in knowing it is a work in progress. We rented this based on the plan to be outside 98% of our time. (We were in town for the Lobster Festival.) We brought hammocks and quite enjoyed the view while relaxing at the house or walked down to the beach to explore or just sit and take in the scenery. The deck was used mostly in the second half of the day as the first half is full sun (perfect for sun lovers). The house is old as are the beds. I would assume those are high on the list of improvements? Do not plan on using the bunk bed- I will go so far as to call it unsafe. The bottom is a foam mattress with a visible dip in the middle and the top is a really old spring frame held in place by notches cut in the bunk bed frame. We purchased an air mattress upon seeing it. As I said, this house is old- there is a potent mildew scent that is unbearable in the basement where the washer & dryer are. This proved to be an issue for the 2 members of our family with asthma. The house (and prior reviews claiming it was clean) were disappointing because honestly, potential is for investors not vacationers. A DEEP clean (our toddler was filthy after crawling across the kitchen upon our arrival) and new beds with fresh new linens will make a tremendous difference. The rooms are so small that minimal would be best with furnishings. Definitely watch this property for updates as the scenery is wonderful.

Spacious home in beautiful location

The house overlooks a large field where we saw deer, turkeys, heron and free range chickens. Very comfortable bedrooms and a large, fully equipped kitchen. With lots of outside seating on the deck , under the trees and firepit our house became the gathering place for friends and family in the area. There is a short, 10 minute walk to the beach and it is gorgeous! Swimming, tide pools, kayaking, paddle boarding, we did it all! I

Family Retreat

Great location and setting. Modest accommodations, but OK. Good base camp for exploring Owl's Head, with proximity to Rockland. We appreciated the outdoor grill and firepit.

About the host

Hosted by Deborah Pomroy

I was born and raised in South Thomaston and spent many hours playing down at this house, catching frogs in the pond, and running down to Pleasant Beach. The house, the field and most of the neighbors all came from the original Rackliff Farm.

Why they chose this property

My grandfather built this house and my grandparents raised 5 children in it. The bunk beds were built by my grandmother and all of her children and grandchildren, including my own, have slept in them. The house is solid and sound and retains its yesteryear charm. The views of the cove and the field can't be beat, and sipping coffee overlooking it all is indescribably relaxing.

What makes this property unique

The sun porch is the perfect place for your morning up of coffee. Watching the boats go about their day's work, or the eagle spying for his breakfast will start your day out right! The incredible deck allows dining outdoors and is the perfect spot to enjoy the full panorama. As evening falls, enjoy a crackling fire in the fire pit, while relaxing in comfortable Adirondack chairs. As Maine should be, nature is all around and the wide-open feel makes this home the perfect vacation spot. To liven things up a bit, a short ride to Rockland or Camden is a must for nightlife, restaurants, galleries, fishing trips and more.
