We enjoyed our stay immensely. The place is obviously survived many years, but it has great character and the best view you could imagine of the harbor. Plus, it is walking distance to a number of restaurants Hill seafood in particular. And it’s also very interesting watching the cruise ships Come in an anchor and send her thousands of passengers into the small town and then watching the chaos as they try and load them all back on the ship to meet their scheduled departure time. Meg was also very attentive to anything and Patty who lives downstairs was so very nice and supportive and helped us enjoy our stay. All in all a 10.

Perfect Stay Overlooking The Bay

My husband and I spent the month of June in Meg’s apartment with a picturesque view of the Rockland harbor. One couldn’t ask for a better location! Nestled between a popular seafood restaurant on one side, a boutique chocolatier on the other, the town’s most popular tavern, full of fun, quirky, salt-of-the-earth locals, is just around the corner. In addition to seafood joints we were thrilled to discover Rockland boasts three James Beard-award-winning restaurants, each one distinct and fantastic in its own right. The apartment was pristine, the bed was oh so comfy, and the shower had blasting water pressure. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything needed to make meals, including a fully stocked cupboard of everyday oils, spices and seasonings. Thank you so much for the delightful stay, Meg! We hope to visit again next year!

Amazing apartment in town Rockland

The apartment is located across the street from Harbor Park which provided fantastic views. The weekly Farmers markets, all the shops and restaurants and the harbor walk are right out your door! The property was clean, well appointed and the property manager was very helpful when we had any questions. We highly recommend this apartment. We had a great month here

July visit

I liked everything but found the stairway a bit difficult for me (age). I did not like the TV. I was looking forward to Red Sox baseball, but I could not tune them in. All in all, I was satisfied with my visit.

About the host

Hosted by Meg McInnis

Host profile image
Hi Folks, I am excited you are considering the beautiful coast of Maine for a vacation or extended stay. I am a native Mainer, and thrilled to be back in my home state after 30 years "away". I enjoy Maine in all its seasons with winter sports, spring and summer organic vegetable gardens, farmer's markets, festivals and family fun. Of course, the autumn display of nature's colors and crisp, clean air is my favorite season. I look forward to sharing The Wheeler House with you. It is the perfect home base for your mid coast stay. It took me 30 years to come to Rockland and just sit and sigh. Don't wait.

It is located 1 block off downtown and has unobstructed views of Rockland Harbor.
