Private Beach, ideal water's edge beach house, best wraparound views!

Lovely setting, very nice cottage, beautiful part of Maine. Wouldn’t change a thing, other than sprucing up the bathroom.

This house is set waterfront with iconic Maine Midcoast island views. The first floor living room was very cozy and tastefully decorated with nice plants, the kitchen and whole house was clean, the bedding was new and comfortable (this was very appreciated). The house is an older loved home. For the price, however, the bathroom situation was a bit bleak - shower/tub in v poor condition, have to stagger showers for adequate water, and the second bathroom is just a toilet in a very small closet. The sofa in the living room should be replaced. But on whole, we enjoyed the property greatly.

First, please let me make it clear that I understood the cancellation policy of this property. Let me also make it clear that this was the first time that I have ever NEEDED to cancel a property. My son and fiancé decided that they were tired of all the wedding planning and moved their date up by months. As soon as I knew this was going to happen I contacted the owners/managers of this property. Mind you please that while we were communicating about this property Pre Booking they were very responsive. When I contacted them about hoping for some mercy in this instance they took weeks to respond. I have the screen shots of the dates. Anyway, I was hoping for some sort of quick communication and a resolve that would benefit both parties. Even since my most recent response to their reply they have not responded. Avoidance is not a professional way to do business!!! As wonderful as this property looks I would definitely avoid renting from this owner/manager.

Amazing location. Wonderful hosts. Classic Maine house. Can’t wait to go back!

The owners were lovely, responded to all issues is a prompt and friendly fashion. Due to illness I had to leave one week into the month we had paid for. The owners graciously allow us to have another relative use a few of our days. I would totally recommend this property

A true gem on the water. The home was clean, well cared for and with all the necessities provided. It truly was a perfect summer home on the water. We brought our own kayaks and could put in and take out within a few hours of high tide. Each day we enjoyed cocktails with a view, watching the bots and yachts slide by on their way to points north and south. The location is excellent with only a short drive to Rockland but also a short drive to Camden and Port Clyde. If we had any issues it was that the shower pressure was lacking but other than that, it was a great place for us to get some rest and relaxation and enjoy the beautiful coast of Maine.

We really enjoyed our stay in Owls Head. The property provided easy access to several cute towns such as Rockland and Thomaston. The grounds and the waterfront were wonderful with plenty of space and very quiet. The ocean view from the home and property was wonderful. The Cape Cod style home was super cozy, well appointed, and met our needs. The adjacent beachfront and the easy walk or drive to Crescent Beach were great for exploration. Despite an early communication issue related to a typo in my email address, once the owners were made aware, they corrected and provided plenty of information. Like many vacation homes, there were a few areas of the home that could use a little TLC... the bathroom could use an update, the recliner had some tears, etc. The fans and open windows were usually sufficient, but a few nights got a little warmer than I prefer in the bedrooms. The half bath was almost unusable in that it is a toilet (without a sink) added to a closet space between the stairs and the chimney. Better than only having one bath option, but would not necessarily be functional for all users. Beach access required a careful climb down some larger rocks and could be an issue for those who may be unsteady. Due to being on a well and the current water table, there was an emphasis on limiting water usage. This did not present much issue for our family, but I could see how this could be an issue if you desired lots of long showers, running multiple loads of laundry, etc. The exterior sitting areas were lovely, but there were none that were covered for enjoyment during rain. All in all, a lovely stay.

What a beautiful home in such a special location. We loved our time on Owls Head in this unique spot. The views were amazing, and the house provided lovely linens and a very equipped kitchen. The property was spectacular and extremely private. Close to all surrounding towns, and local attractions. Honestly, we never wanted to leave the house! Only negative, not enough water supply for the house. Showering, laundry, washing dishes, it ran out multiple times. We made it work though and would certainly rent again! We miss it already.

We could have spent the entire time in the yard watching the sky and water. We did manage to tear ourselves away. First only steps away to the sandy beach. Then to nearby Rockland- a cozy town with contemporary museums, cool shops and restaurants. Evenings were spent grilling on the deck. We can’t wait to return to this quiet, private and mos t comfortable home by the water. Thanks to our friendly, helpful hosts.

We had the most delightful week at this charming home in Owls Head! The house was so clean and comfortable, and the location cannot be beat! AMAZING! We were able to watch lobster boats, explore Treasure Island and the beach, and drive into nearby Rockland for delicious meals! It was perfect...the escape and relaxation of a quiet beach home within minutes of a fun, energetic town filled with restaurants, galleries and boutiques! What a gem! Thank you!
