About this property

Comfortable one level living overlooking the harbor

Built in 1850, remodeled in 1989 for a comfortable lifestyle, all on one floor! Right across the street from Rockport Opera house, with a sunny southern exposure and a wrap around porch. Walk easily to 18 Central and the Nina June Cafe in the same block. This would be a great house to rent while taking a class at The Center for Furniture Craftsmanship or the Maine Media Workshop. Perfect too for attending the Bay Chamber concerts right across the street in the Opera House or at Union Hall . The house has a number of comfy chairs for sitting and reading, and a desk situated next to a window overlooking the harbor for writing. It is a restful house, but there are plenty of adventures to be had in the surrounding Camden hills or inland- day sails on a schooner, hiking, kayaking.
Our two bedrooms each open onto the kitchen/dining area, and each has a full bathroom. Each one has an air conditioner, although it is rarely needed. How many times we visited here in the summer, leaving a hot steamy Boston, and found Rockport chilled by a fog bank. Mom would say, 'Always bring a sweater when you come to Maine!'
This house is perfect for two couples on a getaway weekend, or as a home base during a longer visit to New England. We have all the linens you need, and a well supplied kitchen for cooks. Soap is supplied as well as access to washer and dryer.

Wonderful home and location
Perfect size for 2 couples. The views of the harbor are gorgeous and we really enjoyed our stay in this quaint New England home! The beds were comfortable and lots of closet space. The kitchen was fully equipped to make meals. The desk was useful for one member of our party who had to do some work. Ruth was a very attentive and a wonderful hostess.

Great Stay
Lovely home overlooking a beautiful harbor. The house is very well appointed. Fully equipped kitchen with everything you could need, plenty of towels, and hangers in the closets. Highly recommend 18 Central in Rockport for dinner. Very close to Camden (about 1 mile) for restaurants and shopping. Great home if you want to enjoy the Maine coast.

Perfect!!!
Ruth’s home in Rockport was perfect! The stunning views from the large wrap around porch, the tastefully decorated rooms, the big dining room, the well equipped kitchen all contributed to our fantastic weekend at Ruth’s beautiful home. The attention to detail in every aspect made this property a true home away from home. I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a memorable stay in Rockport! It is a true gem with amazing views that will leave you with cherished memories!

About the host

Hosted by Ruth Wall

Host profile image
We are two brothers and their lovely wives, who love keeping this house in as nice condition as it was when our parents lived here. We have grown children and grandchildren and we all live in Maine!

Why they chose this property

Our parents purchased this house when it was in poor condition in the '70s, and rehabilitated it for their retirement home. It has new floors and a whole new floor plan, with a nod to historic details like the beautiful old paneling around the fireplace. It is on one level with only three stairs to come in from outdoors. We loved bringing our children here to visit their grandparents, and took many walks around the harbor.
We have seen many others enjoy the location as much as we have, since we began vacation renting in 2014. Please read the many positive reviews we've earned, and consider enjoying Maine from our central location.

What makes this property unique

Having a choice between open air on the deck, or the screened porch is a pleasure.
