Quiet Ocean Front Cottage With Stunning Views & Private Beach Close To Rockland

We enjoyed our stay! Sunrises with coffee on the porch, bird watching, walks to McCloons (we went 2x). A great spot to relax and get away.

Very relaxing, quaint stay! The birds and water were all the entertainment we needed! Everything we needed to cook meals was available. Lovely place, no-hassle parking, great view and away from the crowds...perfect.

Great location, no surprises or issues

These hosts are to be commended. This cozy cottage is a real gem. Thoughtfully decorated and equipped with everything needed. Beautiful views, sitting by the firepit watching the wildlife, sunsets and lobster boats come and go. Very peaceful. Looking forward to returning.

Peaceful snd absolutely stunning views right from the deck. At low tide there is so much to explore. You can kayak right from the cottage and ride bikes, short walk to incredible food. Breathtaking and relaxing. We will recommend highly and stay again.

We had a wonderful, restful 5 days. I especially enjoyed watching the tides. We kayaked and rode our bikes almost 100 miles over three days in three areas. Lots of lobster, a puzzle, books and campfires. Just what we like: an active but relaxing vacation.

Peaceful stay as always. New shower was great. Mike is easy to communicate with and very responsive. Hope to be back again next year!

The house is exactly as described! It was a perfect getaway to end the summer!

We’ve stayed at many places in Maine, but this one was by far our favorite. The location is amazing. The cottage itself is adorable and so perfect. We can’t wait to book our next day next year!

Peace down by the ocean! Our third stay.

Spectacular waterfront view and comfortable coastal cottage.

Wonderful view. Very close to Lobster shack. Comfortable and clean.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The view was perfect and we really enjoyed sitting on the porch.

My husband and I just retired and enjoyed this place immensely! Especially the fireplace and the quiet space.

This cottage is perfect for a couple looking to get away for a few days. Sunrises are majestic and stargazing is second to to none. McCloon’s Lobster Shack is amazing and has beautiful views of the sunset.

This is a private, compact property that was perfect for our (too) short September weekend getaway along a beautiful part of the Maine coast. I spent hours out on the back deck overlooking the tidal cove, reading, sketching, but mostly just looking and listening. Lots of wildlife, including two ospreys, a raven, a great blue heron that came twice a day to fish, and even two mink that chased each other across the beach. Cottage was very well equipped and cozy. Excellent wifi. Mike was a responsive and proactive host. We particularly enjoyed our visit to the keeper's house and museum at the Marshall Point Lighthouse in Port Clyde. Would love to return for another stay someday. Highly recommended!

Quiet and peaceful. Feels like Maine the way I remember it long ago.

My wife and I spent two nights here and we enjoyed our stay. We used it as a jumping off point to explore the towns of Rockland, Camden and Belfast which were all an easy drive from the cabin. We were fortunate to have great weather and the view out the back was beautiful and relaxing. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and drinking our morning coffee.

We enjoyed our stay in every way. The house is very clean and comfortable….the gorgeous views were a lucky strike extra. This is a special place!

The cottage was perfect! Everything we wanted to experience and enjoy on Sprucehead Island!

Almost everything about the cottage was outstanding: view, privacy, peacefulness, cleanliness, furnishings for kitchen, WiFi, outdoor accessories…super. Two details are overlooked in the description. First, though modern, with decent hot water, the bathroom is tiny, hard to move around in or shut door without bumping into something. Shower stall itself also quite small. Second, the upstairs sleeping area is built for decidedly shorter folks, I’m 6’4” and had a clear disadvantage. My partner, much shorter still suffered. The stairs are steep and tall folks must duck (both clearly advertised). Going downstairs was uniquely more hazardous, owing to a very close/steep roof over stairwell, especially the top 3-4 steps. What is not highlighted is the low ceiling and its sloping pitch in the entire upstairs bedroom. I could not stand straight up in the middle of the room, and on the twin bed side of the room the ceiling was so low as to make using them difficult. On the double bed side (with the windows) the roof sloped less but was still only about 5’ at the headboard. All in all, too cramped and tight for us. This may not be bad, but should be better highlighted in the description.

Our 4th year visiting the cottage. Very simple but all we need. Peaceful porch where we spent hours watching great blue herons and osprey (no bald eagles this year). Cove is perfect for exploring crabs, launching a kayak or SUP. We love being walking distance to McLoon’s for lobster every day and Giffords ice cream. Rainy weather this year so we played lots of “The Game of Life” and doing puzzles. Host Mike is quick to respond and makes the process very easy. Thanks for another great stay!

Quiet retreat with wonderful views.
