This was the perfect place to stay for a family wedding weekend. Loved sitting on the deck with my morning coffee looking out over the harbor. Very quite neighborhood. Located a couple minutes from downtown Rockland, Owls Head Transportation just down the street along with the State Park. Wedding venue was 3 miles away in South Thomaston. It was exactly as described, comfy, cozy and allowed pets. Fenced in yard for the dog was a huge plus. Hosts were great. Would definitely stay here again!

Cottage by the coast

Our family enjoyed staying in this cute cottage. The host was very helpful and quick to respond when we had trouble getting into the location upon arrival. We had a great time hanging out on the front porch and relaxing in the evening. We definitely wished we could have stayed another night or two to relax and explore the area a little more, maybe sometime in the future.

Very nice coastal stay!

Clean, comfortable family home in a peaceful neighborhood. Beautiful view and close to everything we wanted to see - McLoon's, Rockland, fairs, shopping, and children's museums. Great mattresses, kitchen and living amenities, and loved the fenced in yard for pets and kids though we didn't have to use it. We would be happy to stay here again!

Comfortable House

We really enjoyed our stay, very comfortable. House was clean and well stocked for our needs. Easy location to shops, galleries, and restaurants in Rockland. Highly recommend McLoons Lobster Shack on Spruce Head Island. We also made day trips to Boothbay Harbor and Pemaquoid Pt Lighthouse.

Not fancy but very nice

This was a great overnight stop for three older women who all wanted their own bedroom. We weren't there long but drove a short ways into town for a light dinner and left the next morning after breakfast. View to the ocean was a bonus watching the fog lift and kayaks.

Simple comfortable clean - good location

Just stayed one night. Only slept there. Didn’t use kitchen but seemed to be stocked well enough. It is small and tight in kitchen and living room but works. Bedrooms were comfortable. Bathroom has no counter space. Nice view. Not a walkable area from house. A good value for three bedrooms.

Thankful for the extra rooms but not the early noise!

I booked this cottage because it was outside of the busy towns and we could all enjoy our own bedroom. Owls Head is quaint and the sea view was nice. The rental had everything we needed for the short stay. The negative is that there was a large tree on the side of the rental that had been recently taken down. Upon arrival, it was a messy sight. Worse yet, the pickup of the tree debris came just after 6am the next morning. This didn’t afford sleeping in. I was also surprised at the level of LOUD road noise that started early. FYI: There is a small plot of graves that border the house, but not in photos. There was also a strong “basement smell” (musty?) when you first entered the property at the kitchen but it grew less noticeable the longer you were inside. There was a giant tv for movie watching. The furniture was different than pictured, but still comfortable. The rental could have been prepped a bit better before our arrival. For example, the outside porch needed to be cleaned as it was covered with leaves/debri and furniture not easily usable.. A few more options for the Keurig would have also been nice, and perhaps a few tea bag options. There is a decent “to-do” list for checkout. In the end, I did not feel like the total fee payed for the rental met my expectations.

Nice place to stay. The furniture has been worked over hard by someone's pet. Incidentally, it's not the same furniture shown in the VRBO listing. If I was staying for more than one night, I might have been a little unhappy about the state of the leather sofa. For us, it was a perfect spot to reorganize and cook a meal before going to the airport. Over all, the house is clean and the beds were comfortable. The owner is unobtrusive. No multiple phone calls or texts, which I very much appreciate. Overall, it is a nice place to stay. The view of the water is great.

Nice cozy spot that made a great home base for us to explore the beautiful area. Lots to see from beaches to state parks. The view from Mt. Battie is amazing. Lot of places to get good food. The place has all that you would need and is very comfortable and well kept.

We had a great stay while in town for a family event. We were ecstatic to be able to take our family dog with us on the trip. The view from the back deck was incredible and close to many local parks for hiking.

Great spot close to Rockland

Cute home with a view of the coast. Comfy couches, well equipped kitchen. Short flight of steps to enter house. Not fancy but didn’t expect that from the accurate description. Great location for exploring Rockland. Would stay again if in the area. As a person allergic to dogs, I appreciated the hard flooring as whomever is cleaning does a great job of removing pet dander from previous users of the home. Thank you for a great stay.
