    The kitchen was great, we loved the nice clean rooms. The beds and pillows were wonderful. It had thoughtful things to make you feel at home. Slippers, eggs and English muffins in the fridge for breakfast. A few different sodas and drinks. We loved our stay.

    Wow, what an amazing stay! The home was impeccably clean and beautifully decorated! Our host went above and beyond to make sure we felt at home with any essential amenities provided for us. They were extremely friendly and helpful with excellent communication. The home has a beautiful view and only a short walk to shops/restaurants in downtown Rockland. We sure hated to leave and continue on to our next stop during our 15 day road trip. We definitely hope to return very soon!

    The perfect Maine getaway! Wayne & Jin were warm, welcoming & friendly hosts. Jin filled the vrbo with flowers from her garden and gave us greens for dinner one night. Well stocked kitchen & bathroom. Washer & dryer. Great location! View of the water! Very clean & minimal decor. Light & bright! We enjoyed sitting in the yard in the afternoon!

    Our stay at this VRBO property was absolutely incredible. The home is stunning-impeccably decorated and thoughtfully stocked with everything you might need. If by chance something isn’t there, Jin and Wayne will make sure you have it. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, and the bedding was cozy and inviting. We enjoyed a spectacular view of the harbor and found ourselves with just a 5-15 minute walk from everything we needed, including restaurants, grocery stores and even a charming little beach.The properties grounds are beautifully landscaped, and the surrounding area is peaceful and quiet. The open airy kitchen was a pleasure to cook in, and we especially loved relaxing in the Adirondack chairs with a glass of wine and snacks as we watched the boats in the harbor. We highly recommend this property-it is truly a hidden gem. We cannot speak highly enough of the gracious hosts. Don’t miss the chance to experience this exceptional home!Craig and Jill

    We have stayed at many VRBOs and AB&Bs during our travels. This one is a total winner. It is very well equipped with everything you could want and the attention to detail by Jin and Wayne is evident throughout. The location cannot be beat being close to shops and restaurants and within a short drive to state parks etc. with wonderful views of the bay. The place is beautifully updated and the gardens are beautiful.

    This home and entire experience was fantastic. The house is as lovely as the photos show it to be. The house is carefully planned out by obvious seasoned travelers, they didn’t miss a beat. It has everything you can think of needing and a few things I didn’t think of, but was glad to see. Jin even had some items ready for me in the fridge to get me through the first evening and the morning, so I could relax my way into my stay. The beds, furniture, kitchen supplies, everything has been well taken care and of good quality. The home was spotless. There was a snow storm the was a bit bigger than expected and Jin contacted me to make sure I could get out of the driveway and use the walkway. Ready to bring in someone to make sure I could. One of my favorite things about the house, besides the coffee, beds, shower, tv, pillows…were the blinds. They worked from the top or the bottom, I could release them from the top, let light in and still have privacy. I’ve been renting in Rockland every month for the last year and this is the place I look for availability every time.Thank you Jin for making my stay so comfortable!

    I cannot say enough complimentary things about the “Salty Cape”!The listing photos and location were what drew me in initially and the reality did not disappoint! Our snowy week visit was brightened by the bright white: neutral Japandi decor! The homeowners know how to welcome visitors. There was nothing they had not thought oft that we could possibly need. Every room was outfitted. And comfortable!The kitchen and bath were top notch!Thank you Jin ….look forward to a return

    Owners of this property are simply amazing. The ease of communication and thoughtfulness they've put into this property are evident the moment you walk in the door. Decor is bright, clean, elegant and simple. Views are stunning. Walking distance to downtown area and restaurants. Every detail has been thought of. I don't have any current plans to return to Maine, but if/when I do, I won't look anywhere else. Thank you again for a fabulous experience!

    The unit was impeccable as was the location: just 100 yards from Rockland Harbor and the harbor view walk. The hose was immaculate and the kitchen had everything you need to cook in. We are in our early 70s and would highly recommend a stay here. We met the owners, Jim and Wayne, who were delightful

    We stayed at the Salty Cape for one month. Our hosts Jin & Wayne were so pleasant and accommodating. The checkin was effortless. The house was extremely comfortable and clean. It is decorated beautifully with no clutter. Having two bedrooms with king beds was a real plus as well as a large bathroom with great shower and full capacity washer and dryer. We enjoyed very much the individual controlled AC in each room and great window shades that allowed as much or as little light in every room. The location could not have been better with being steps away from the water and boardwalk to walk to town. A lovely relaxed town and so nice to be near Camden for Schooner Sails. Jin's flower gardens were beautiful and we enjoyed having fresh flowers in the house. We hope to return. Thank you Jin and Wayne
