About this property

Debating between the comfort of a hotel and the thrill of more authentic accommodations? You’ll get the best of both with this desirable oceanfront home!

The Lighthouse Lookout sits atop 1.5 private acres located directly on the Atlantic Ocean, offering a lovely Maine oceanfront getaway. Aside from the main house there is a detached “Boathouse” for additional sleeping and recreation, and a 50-foot commercial grade pier and dock.

The main house has 4 bedrooms / 2.5 bath and is approximately 3,800 SQ FT. The boathouse has 2 bedrooms / 1 bath and is approximately 1,500 SQ FT. Bedrooms are lined with windows, offering views of passing lobster boats and schooners, changing tides with breathtaking sunsets. Everything you need for your stay is provided, including a fully equipped kitchen, luxury linens and towels, high-speed Wi-Fi, outdoor furniture and grill, cable, flat screen TV’s with Netflix built in for watching movies. The Lighthouse Lookout is setup to match the laid back relaxing vibe that Maine has to offer.

Rackliff Island is one of Maine’s most desirable Islands that’s car accessible. This house is the perfect home-away-from-home for an east coast vacation or family getaway. The private island combines tranquility and convenience at its finest. If you want to be steps from town but feel like your miles away, Lighthouse Lookout is your perfect vacation destination.

The lookout itself is located on a private road that’s great for walking, biking and jogging.

Conveniently located in the midcoast you are a day trip away from Acadia National Park or enjoying the history and cultural amenities of nearby towns. If you are planning on staying with us in August, Rockland’s annual Lobster Festival is a must! With great food and live music, it should be on every guests to do list.

A boater’s paradise if you have a boat...bring it along! There is a mooring in front of the house which will accommodate a 32-foot boat. Rackliff Island is a Boater’s paradise, with wonderful destinations close by!

Amazing House and Property!!!!

This house is amazing! We have been renting properties long before vrbo was in operation and this property is in the top 3. Is it perfect, no. But, it's darn close. Chris is wonderful to deal with. He has made his house a home away from home. Televisions are an issue but streaming worked in the living room and in the boat house (with a TV we brought). Very well stocked with every dish and pan you could need. Do not let the poor reviews deter you from staying at this lovely house because you will be missing out on a great time. Thank you, Chris

View was wonderful but the service was terrible

When we arrived only 1 of the 3 TV’s worked, the water was not drinkable and the smell was terrible. The add stated you would have everything you would need. There was no hand soap, toilet paper, paper towels and only 1 hair dryer for the 4 bathrooms. We didn’t have any hot water. Reached out to Chris and he said that his sister would come over. After 4 days of talking and texting her she came over and replaced light bulbs that needed to be replaced in key areas, put batteries in TV remotes, replaced, dishes that were stained from the water. Brought a hair dryer, toilet paper and hand soap. The showers and toilets were stained and dirty. Hot tub was not usable- needed chemicals and water. Overall really disappointed in the lack of urgency to take care of these issues. When we left still only 1 TV worked. The guest house still didn’t have hot water. When you go on vacation you don’t want to have to deal with these issues. The kicker was we paid what they asked but didn’t get what they promised. Will not go back and would not recommend.

Overall great experience

The access to the beach is hard but worth the climb. A handyman doing a once-over would be worth it. But the place is amazing. The view is awesome. The house was huge and able to fit the whole family. The teens all sun bathed on the dock/pier, but there was nothing to stop them from falling off the end. The sea lions gave us a show and the beach gave us loads of treasures. It is obviously a second/vacation home, which was fine for our needs.

Beautiful location but neglected house

The view and small beach were awesome. The house is great but seemed to lack maintenance. The surfaces were dusty, gas to the range was off, the main tv was broken. I think the worst part is the tap water is almost unusable. It is not drinkable and rusty. It will stain your clothing . It’s wrecking the appliances. It’s sad because the location and the house itself are wonderful but the owners don’t seem to care and were not interested in responding to any of our concerns. My rating would be “meh”

Great bones- no polish-opportunity lost.

From moment one this property evoked stress as we sent an inquiry but instead received an auto-booking that was NON REFUNDABLE. For a year we tried all possible communications to solve the issue with the host that was fair to both parties. Bottom line- this property is merely an investment for the host and once your cash is in hand consider the deal done. We are a family of 4 who vacay in Maine yearly. Due to the host being unwilling to revise we had no family vacation as my husband had to travel for work. We planned to not even come- but our kids wanted to be in Maine…and since money was spent we went- with trepidation. The pros- Location location location. Wow Amazing wolf and subzero appliances. The house was clean (with the exception of bathrooms that need hard water remediation). The cons- Communication with host was marginal at best. Chris simply does not care once he has your money. He does not communicate at all and even goes back on his word. He is not based in state. The house has no cell service to text or call him- he is not on Apple so the WiFi doesn’t help. Response via the App took over 12 hours- we were locked out once due to a temperamental keypad and had to drive a mile to get a signal. That response was faster and his local sister did come and help us. The dock was not present as advertised, a TV was cracked on arrival- and unusable-we reached out -were told it would be fixed. No contact after. The toilet in the guest house was simply noted to be not in order- not OK had we planned to use it, as the main house was a distance from cottage. There are literally no instructions for the guest- for the price similar rentals have a book of recommendations, restaurants, house amenities, etc. there were some tattered old magazines from seasons past. The showers left a metallic smell on your skin. Sad bc it appeared that the house has softening capabilities but perhaps not maintained? Overall- the necessities were present- nothing more. There were no extra blankets or sheets at all. It got quite cold so we bought our own. Multiple light fixtures need new bulbs- ie over the dining room table. The grill did not work. The coffee maker was filthy. Don’t get me wrong, I was relieved upon arrival that the house WAS NOT as bad as anticipated based on reviews. Some effort had been made to ensure cleanliness of the home. This could be a GEM of a rental if ANY hospitality like practices were employed.
