Tranquil waterfront near Rockland, Camden-dog friendly

We thought our stay was ideal. The house is spacious with comfortable furnishings, good beds and an easy to cook in kitchen. The location is so picturesque with a nice yard, water access although in snowy December we weren’t taking advantage of that.Kay is very helpful and responsive. It was a lovely spot for our family Christmas.

Perfect location.

Owner communication was more than I expected

This property was everything we were looking for and then some. My husband and I, along with my 90 yo mother and our dogs, stayed here for an extended Labor Day weekend (4 nights). It was peaceful and private, but also a good location to explore this area of Maine. We arrived at dark, so we didn’t have a chance to explore the grounds until morning. We were pleased with the house and its well-designed floor plan. What a treat when we woke up and saw the beautiful view of the tidal river and the pretty buildings across the way! The pictures on the listing are accurate, but the view was even better in person. The yard was perfect for our dogs, and while not fenced it, it allowed them room to stretch. We found a great dog park in nearby Thomaston. The beds and all furniture were comfortable, and the kitchen was excellent. It had everything needed for meal prep. We grilled on the deck each night and loved eating outside. We enjoyed exploring the area, including walking the dogs at the nearby Birch Point State Park, Owls Head Lighthouse, downtown Rockland & Camden, driving to the top of Mount Battie, and having an excellent lunch @ nearby McLoons Lobster Shack with a view of the harbor.The owner, Kay, is a pleasure to work with and very responsive to questions. She has taken great care of this property and it is at the top of our list for best places of the many VRBO properties we have rented. If we were to go back to this area of Maine, we would stay here. It was wonderful!

Very convenient to restaurants, beaches, swimming at the quarry, hiking, very comfortable house for family.

Great accommodations in a great location. Would definitely go back!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. First time staying in this location and was so close to everything!! Home was comfortable and perfect for the 4 of us and our dog...beautiful views as well. Would highly recommend!

Great comfortable property. Many nice rstaurants and things to do within a 30 minute radius.

Beautiful house, great location for a 2-week family vacation! Plenty of room for the 4 of us, great yard for the dog. Kayaked every day right from the dock, found great walks both locally (Clarks’s Island) and Mount Battie in Camden, only about 35 minutes away. Rockland was about 10-12 minutes, very easy, grocery stores, restaurants, galleries, museums, etc. Easy bike ride to sandy beach at Birch Point State Park. In short, we loved it and can’t wait to return! Kay was an amazing host, very responsive, gave lots of tips about restaurants, local activities, etc. This was a fantastic experience!

We arrived early, as offered by the owner, and were so very pleasantly surprised. The house was immaculate, pristine and spotless. Those visitors before us were very kind to leave extra staples for future guest’s enjoyment, and so we did the same. Kay, the owner, was a gem. Communicated very cordially and clearly. Lobster access was less than two miles away. Fresh lobster every day was the norm.

The house has amazing water views and is in a quite location. There is plenty of space to spread-out and relax.

Kay was so easy to communicate with. The house is so comfy and relaxing. Hardly heard any noise while in the house, except birds chirping. So close to everything. 15 mins to Rockland, 30 mins to Camden. We will visit again!

We enjoyed Maine sooo much! The house is a dream! Well equipped, clean and the location is amazing! We did visit Rockland and Rockport several times, there are near and are lovely. Went hiking to Camden and spent the day in the vibrant town. Everything was easy and we will repeated for sure!

Terrific

Very well appointed house, deck and yard. The kitchen is so nicely equipped that we had more family meals there than originally planned. Tidal inlet great for kayaking, nice views. Room to spread out for a family of six. Convenient to McLoon's at Spruce Head Point, Owl's Head, Rockland, Camden. Kay was very accommodating with special consideration for our needs.

This beautiful and clean house was everything we were looking for

The house was lovely, very clean, well stocked, and a great location on a quiet street. Nice area for walking, and convenient to many attractions. Overall I would give it a great review except for the view. The pictures showed a nice open view of the river, but because the trees and shrubs need to be trimmed you loose 80% of the view shown in pictures.That was my only disappointment.

My wife and I spent a week here in late July/early August with our 3 kids (27/25/21), working remotely some and just hanging some. Very nice property - comfy bed in large MBR suite, large upstairs with more beds and desk, well-supplied kitchen, nice deck, all very clean. Slept 5 comfortably in 4 beds. Kay was an amazing host - super responsive, informative, and accommodating. Loved the area for hiking/biking/dining out. Only things we missed were a fire pit/ring in yard and some luggage racks in bedrooms. Would stay again for sure.

Excellent property with a great view! We kayaked several times. Great restaurants are within a 15-to-30-minute drive. Day trips to other great Maine such as Acadia National Park are within a 60-to-90-minute drive.
