This house was outstanding and had breath taking views. It was a perfect house for my nephew's wedding, which was held up the street at the transportation museum. Large bedrooms, with comfortable beds and views fromevery room. Our host, Doug, communicated with us when ever we had a question and gave us good info about the house prior to arriving. We will definitely be coming back to Owls Head and staying here again.

We had a wonderful stay at this comfortable home with beautiful water views. The mix of vintage decor with updated appliances was charming and functional. Comfortable beds in all the bedrooms. Covered porch with rocking chairs was a treat. We enjoyed walking down to the beach below the house, as well as exploring Owls Head lighthouse close by. Town of Rockland has nice shops/restaurants . We also explored Birch Point state park which is 5 miles away. Day trip to Camden.

Thank you for the review! Glad to hear you made it to notable spots like Birch point Beach State Park, Camden, Rockland, shops, and our scrubby little beach down the way. I know the path down the hill is a bit sporty. We really appreciate you and the condition you left the place in. You’re welcome back anytime.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. The views were amazing! We loved sitting out on the covered porch overlooking the water. The home had everything we needed and it was very clean.

Owl's Head

The house was charming with an amazing view of the harbor. The hosts were very accommodating and the house was well stocked with everything necessary and then some. There was a lot of things to do in the area, or just relax on the porch and enjoy the view. I would highly recommend this rental.

Fit my image of Maine

House was a great vintage representation of what I pictured for an old Maine residence. Property had everything modern you could need but had a great vintage ambiance. Beds were comfortable and all needed kitchen, bathroom and laundry items were available. View from porch is great and owners are attentive to needs. Definitely a relaxing experience!

I’m a Maine native who has lived “away” for years now and this place was absolute heaven to me. The listing doesn’t do it justice - approaching the house at night was like arriving at a fairy haven. The quiet view from the porch was better than any therapy and it is only a short walk to a semi-private beach. This house is a treasure with thoughtful details everywhere. Doug was always accessible for questions. The beds were comfortable and there are blackout blinds in the bedrooms - useful for the early summer sunrise over the water. There is air conditioning downstairs but not upstairs in the bedrooms, but every bedroom has a fan. Rockland is the secret gem of the midcoast and I hope it stays that way. You may not be able to shop on a Sunday or after 6 pm and there may not be a bustling nightlife, but there is world-class dining in walking and biking distance of this house and a thriving art scene. (If you want a more touring-oriented area, Camden is a short drive away.)

Amazing

This historic house was stunning and very clean. The views of the bay were beautiful and we couldn’t keep ourselves off the porch. The house is fully stocked with anything you could need. The beds were comfy and it is located very close to lighthouses, beaches, and lots of lobster. We recommend the lobster rolls at McLoon’s. Delicious! We also got lobsters from Jess’s market. Amazing if you want to eat at the house. Can’t wait to come back

Magical view

The home was so warm and welcoming, over 100 yrs old with natural wood and antique chandeliers and fixtures. The view from the veranda was breath taking yet tranquil overlooking the sail boats and lobster boats sitting silently on the sea. The host was just wonderful and so helpful. He provided bicycles, fishing gear and kayaks. And helpful advice about the area and activities. I recommend this idyllic property highly. We definately want to return someday

Beautiful house

This is a wonderful 1912 house that Doug & Sheila have really made into a vintage gem. We loved staying there. Rockland on the other hand is dismal and disappointing, a one street town with a fantastic art gallery, but otherwise slightly wanting. The handful of shops and restaurants appear to open on an adhoc basis, there are very few bars. The one restaurant with a reputation: Primo, we felt was overhyped and over priced. A slightly edgy feel as you enter town.....

Thank you for the kind words about the house, we’re so glad you enjoyed it! It’s true that Rockland has limited nightlife as a small midcoast town. We do think there are a number of good restaurants and the art scene can be vibrant, especially on the monthly art walk nights. Rockland historically is a working class town specializing in lobster fishing, fish processing, granite & limestone, and other port related activity. Access to nature is high and Camden, a tourist hotspot, is right up the road. There are a number of small museums and beautiful nature walks nearby. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your travels in Maine. Cheers!

Vintage Sea View with modern amenities

Photos of this house do not do it justice. The view of the rockland harbor is nothing short of spectacular. The house itself has been immaculately restored. The level of detail in this house is just unmatched to anywhere I’ve ever stayed. The beds/pillows are comfy, the linens are nice, the appliances are adorable, the finishes are lovely and they really thought of everything like chargers and charging ports, blackout shades, etc. There’s even a baby gate at the top of the stairs. This is my favorite rental that I’ve ever stayed in, it’s truly a gem and I hope to be back soon. And if you’ve never been to owls head/rockland, it’s a great year-round town. The house has access to a local beach. There is also a great boardwalk along the harbor, cute shops, restaurants and tons of museums. Things do tend to close on Sunday but Rockport/Camden is a very short drive and worth a visit anyway. Thanks again Doug and Sheila!

Bridget, Thank you so much, especially considering the rickety furniture. We love it when someone sees the work we put into it. Very kind of you to review it that way. Take care, -Doug & Sheila
