About this property

Close to Rockland, large mid coast home in quiet neighborhood

Quiet neighborhood, kid friendly, above ground pool, playground, 1 mile from public ocean access, 5 miles from Rockland, and 3 beautiful beautiful beaches within 5 miles. Lobsters can be delivered for extra fee. Two night minimum.

Quiet get away, but close to the best places in Maine

Anything...pool, playground, lobster delivery, fire pit, grill, a few miles from the best beaches in the midcoast and some great restaurants. Best lobster rolls sold a mile down the road...

I think you will love it here! Nice, quiet, close to town, clean, and lobster as you wish! We can have it in the cooler when you arrive, right off the boat. (Market price)

The property was very easy to live in - just like home. Plenty of room for our extended family vacation. The house was very clean and well appointed. The grounds were beautiful and there was ample parking. The air conditioning was a big plus over others we've rented in the same area. Owners were very responsive. We hope the home is available again in 2 years when we return for our next family reunion!

Family friendly home in a great location!

Beautiful home that was perfect for our extended family! We spent a week outside of Acadia, then moved down the coast to Rockland and the Lobster Festival. This house was within minutes of Rockland and multiple state parks and lighthouses. Highly recommend!

Ideal location; clean; everything we could need

Having five individual rooms for sleeping was ideal for adults - some with spouses and some not. A/Cs in each room to take the heat off from the day even mid-September. The wooded privacy was beautiful.

Fantastic stay

My family of 7 stayed 3 nights for a family reunion in this fabulous, well equipped, spacious house. We couldn’t have asked for another thing. We all fit nicely, yet we had our own spaces to go to when needed. Adult children enjoyed the pool. We cooked a couple of meals and found every tool we needed. Excellent stay!

Labor Day weekend

The owner was so helpful and very responsive. I highly suggest ordering the freshly caught lobsters from the owner. They were the best lobsters we had. The house is salacious and open concept layout. The kids had a good time in the front yard and on the swing set. We got to spend quality time as a family. I definitely recommend it especially if you are wanting some quiet away from the hustle and bustle of the city. I think the time period we visited had so many mosquitos. Pack bug spray. Really enjoyed our time. Thank you Elizabeth.

Great stay in Lobster Land

The house is in a beautifully wooded area and is quiet and very comfortable. The rooms are perfectly furnished for a weekend or a week or longer a longer stay. Outside amenities, the swimming pool and bbq were great additions and well used. Owner response was great and we’ll be back

Amazing home for an extended family get away

The house was even better than expected and the pictures didn't do it justice. Was absolutely beautiful and the location was amazing. The open concept made it great for breakfast/ winding down after long days. The sentiment was shared between every guest and we hope one day to stay again. Thanks for opening your beautiful home to my family. Shawn

Spacious and Quiet

Open and spacious. Quiet and private. The wrap around front deck made for a nice place to sit even in the rain. Great little room upstairs for the two 14 year old boys who brought their Xbox and played the keyboard. Beds were super comfy!

Great Family Getaway

My husband and two toddlers recently spent a week in this house and it was awesome! The house is very spacious, kitchen is well equipped, lots of bedroom options, and we felt right at home. We loved the pool, swing set, fire pit and large yard. The property is secluded and quiet, which was wonderful. It was a fun surprise that there were already some toys in the closets that you could borrow, my kids loved that. This is a great house for a family with kids or a group. We would definitely recommend and return.

Great little getaway

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. It was very clean and the house is really big and open. Everything we needed was provided for us (including bug spray, trash bags, disinfectants, hand soap, etc.). The kitchen was very open and full of utensils, gadgets and anything you may need. The pool was our saving grace actually because due to the current situation we didn't want to venture out too much. The pool has a table with umbrella by it and we ended up spending a lot of time out there - we brought our own floats but there were floats there too. The house was very private and was the only property at the end of the street. We also utilized the grill and fire pit, lots of stars at night. The only con was that one of the upstairs ACs was not working but it gets really cool at night either way. For 3 couples looking for an easy getaway, this was perfect for us. Definitely recommended for families with children as well, there are a lot of toys and fun things for kids at the house including swings and a slide. We did not need to reach out to the property owner very much but when I did have questions, she was very responsive. Overall, it was a great trip and I recommend this property to anyone looking for a fun Maine Getaway.

Perfect Family Home!

We just had the most wonderful stay at Liz’s home. We had kids with us ranging in ages from 2-14 and the house was just perfect. Spotless, well equipped, and comfortable. The kids LOVED the play set outside and pool, as well as toys, books, legos-anything they needed. We got there and realized we had actually packed too much stuff! The rooms are spacious and comfortable, as are the bathrooms. The yard is beautiful and huge-much bigger than it seems in the pictures. The big kids played basketball, we made s’mores in the fire pit, and grilled on the back patio. It was heaven. The surrounding area is also quite beautiful with easy access to some beautiful local beaches, a little off the beaten path but it was amazing to discover hidden gems like Owl’s Head Park. And then some larger towns were just a little further away, but let us explore a lot of different parts of the beautiful state. Communication with Liz was easy and helpful. My 2-year-old daughter actually had to go to the ER while we were there (from a previous accident-her stitches opened while we were on vacation) and Liz gave me good advice about where to go. She also had great advice for things to do in the area. We definitely would love to come back!
