About this property

Hidden Gem on Westport Island

Welcome to Mid-Coast Maine! Our island house has woodsy privacy, a lovely water view and access to our dock on the Sheepscot River...all within a 10 minute drive from Route 1. The path to the dock is steep, but we use it regularly and are in our 60s and 70s. Inside our house, we have a queen bedroom on the first floor and a double bedroom and a twin bedroom upstairs. We can privately sleeps 5 but a 6th space is available on a comfortable twin pull-out couch in our upstairs loft. We keep our fully equipped kitchen with oven, stovetop, microwave, toaster, coffee maker stocked with cooking basics like: olive oil, vinegar, spices, flour, sugar as well as tea and coffee . We have two full bathrooms and a washer/dryer if you need it.
Our spacious deck overlooking the Sheepscot River provides glorious views. Many birds live in our area - including a pileated woodpecker!
We provide a 2-person canoe, a single kayak and a 2-person sit-on-top type ocean kayak. We also provide a charcoal grill with necessary grilling tools. Our yard is shady with grass for a good place to use our various balls, frisbees and even a corn hole game. We have our yard and periphery treated with an organic mosquito and tick repellent to help reduce these summertime pests.
Two sandy ocean beaches and one lake beach, along with many shops, restaurants and galleries are within 30 minutes from Rocky Road. Portland, the largest city near us, is an easy hour's drive with all of its cultural offerings.

We wish we had more time to hang out here! We loved the water views and the sunroom. The bedrooms were cute and beds were comfortable. The hang-out area with books, games and puzzles was a nice bonus. Would love to stay again!

A Wonderful Cottage in a Great Location

This was our second stay at this vrbo. Wonderful view of the river, The most well equipped kitchen of any place we have stayed in Maine. Carol is a great host. Highly responsive to anything we need. So nice to be around the bend from the lobster co-op. Can't wait to come back to this restful serene cottage in mid-coast Maine.

Homey Get-Away Cabin

My husband and I with our two teenagers were very comfortable and happy while staying at the cabin. I like that each of the kids had separate bedroom. The view was breath taken and it was very quiet the whole time we were there. My favorite feature was the full-size kitchen with plenty of cookware and condiments, especially many Asian kind. Carol was very attractive in communication and making sure we could get help and support if needed. The entertainment, such as board games and TV app, was provided and it was great. Hot water was impressively hot and almost instant. With permission, we were able to host our small family gathering for a wonderful family lunch. We are very happy with our trip and definitely will return to this vacation cabin in the future. :)

Beautiful home, perfect spot, excellent host!

My mother and I had our first VRBO stay at this wonderful Westport Island home and could not have been more pleased with our stay! We're Mainers, but if I were visiting Maine, this would be a top spot --peaceful and private, but close to all that the Midcoast area has to offer visitors, and an easy ride for a day trip to Portland to the South, and great hiking and other outdoor adventures further north. A quintessentially Maine house in the woods --and with water views! The house is open, airy, cozy, comfortable, immaculate and has all the basics and many extras. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the pots, pans, appliances and dishware you would need, but also includes many cooking staples so you don't need to bring them, or if you forget something. Same for toiletries and other touches like a bluetooth speaker. We were there for a mother/daughter retreat and picked it for the view. We were fortunate to have perfect warm, sunny fall weather and had a great time hanging out on the beautiful deck, where there were comfy chairs and a table for dining and to work on the craft projects we brought along. Carol was very helpful and gracious as we planned our trip, checked in while we were there, and I have no doubt that if things hadn't been perfect, she would have been attentive to resolving any problems we ran into. We highly recommend this "hidden gem" and if we ever plan another Maine stay-cation we would be thrilled to stay here again! The host was gracious and provided many nice touches that

Our stay was fabulous. Our favorite part of the day was to wake up and go out on the back porch with coffee in hand and enjoy the beautiful view. There were a number of times that we saw deer and raccoons. I couldn't even tell you how many different birds we saw. Carol even provided binoculars for bird viewing. Nice touch! Thank you Carol for a wonderful stay.

Quiet Slice of Heaven

Had a great week’s stay at Rocky Road. Location is private, quiet and remote, nestled in the woods, but centrally located by many hiking trails, attractions and restaurants within a short drive. The view of the river was incredible. My favorite spot was the sunroom early in the morning and watching the boats go by sipping mimosas in complete peace and quiet. Everything you need is available to you. Air conditioning was a plus since there was a heat wave for a few days. Beds are comfortable and many games available to pick from. A small trail at the end of the road within walking distance was a nice bonus after dinner without having to leave by car. The path to the river and dock is steep but doable and amazing for watching sunrises. Carol was very responsive with any questions. Had no issues with the house and felt as though we owned the place. Thanks for a wonderful stay Carol.

Relaxing stay

The house was lovely and well appointed. It felt like you were far from everything but then a short drive gets you to different kinds of places. Peaceful and relaxing to listen to the sounds of the woods, trails nearby, kayaking whenever you want at the house’s dock. Everyone enjoyed it.
