Breathtaking views, total relaxation, do as much or as little as you choose

This oceanfront treasure is a cozy one bedroom cottage, 2 twins, furnished with luxury linings. Simple and elegant with breathtaking views of the Mussel Ridge Channel. Bold ocean at its best! All the furnishishings needed for a relaxing vacation, whether it's looking for sea glass, periwinkles or just curl up with the sea breeze and a good book. A bright cheerful fully appointed kitchen with an ocean view, we think you will agree no detail has been overlooked. Get in touch with the natural beauty of the Maine Coastline. It is a short walk to a to a beautiful sandy beach, dig your toes into the sand or swim out to the small island in front of the cottage.
For a day of adventure book a day sail trip out of Rockland, Camden or Belfast. Hike Camden Hills State park, ferry boat ride to Vinalhaven, or Ilsesboro, climb Mount Battie, visit the Owls Head Transportation Museum to see vintage cars and airplanes. Local sea kayak rentals available. Don't forget your camera because the ever changing light serves up photo ops all day, from some of the most beautiful sunrises to breathtaking views of the moon rising at night. Enjoy a lobster boat tour, a concert in the park, fireworks, North Atlantic Blues festival, The Lobster festival, craft fairs if your timing is right. Once you arrive you may never want to leave. A detailed rental agreement is required, no pets and non smoking.

Overdue Relaxation
We had a great stay. Cottage is perfect and quiet. This year we did more relaxing rather than sight seeing, which was good. Missed the Owelshead truck show and Blues Festival weekend but it still was nice. Ate too much, for sure. Already looking forward to next year.

Throughly enjoyable
The location was lovely, you have an oven view from each room including the bedroom. Nice to see the sun rising over the ocean while you’re still in bed! There’s a nicely landscaped back yard that leads to the shore, comfy beds, and if you wish to leave the property you are 7 minutes from Rockland downtown.

Awesome view
This cottage was amazing - had all the essential amenities - and the view of the bay was worth the price of admission - lots of birds around the waters edge and in the bay - location was convenient for day trip to Acadia - several lighthouses in the immediate area - would give it the max stars

A beautiful spot
Overall very wonderful stay, but there were planes coming and going from airport nearby that was loud and unexpected but not awful. Well equipped kitchen and very clean! Would have loved a lounge chair in back but these are minor issues. Thank for sharing your bit of Maine with us!! Rockland which is not far had a lot going on so rain experienced just had us doing museums and exploring vs playing in the water and walking along the rocky shore.

Cozy Little Cottage with a Perfect View
We went up to visit family in the area and had a wonderful time just enjoying the view, both from the living area and yard. We also went swimming at the nearby beaches (one of which you can see from the house). My one suggestion to the host is that I’d have loved a hammock or some sort of outdoor lounge chair.

We could not have enjoyed our stay at this property more. It is cozy, comfortable, well equipped, and clean as a whistle. The view is mesmerizing, and the host is wonderful. Do yourself a favor and stay here if you are touring the area. You won't be sorry.

Great spot with great views
This cottage was just right for the two of us. The views were spectacular- we saw a couple of seals and were able to watch the tide come in. The house is well equipped. There were even coffee pods to get you started on day 1. This was a quiet spot, easy to get to and close enough to town for quick easy trips. We loved our getaway- we highly recommend a stay here.

Peace and Tranquility
We LOVED our stay at Owls Head. The property was beautiful, very clean and cozy. It was wonderful as a base place to stay. So many interesting places to go, which we did as half day trips. And after the hustle and bustle of being around others…it was SO WONDERFUL to come back and enjoy the peace and tranquility of the Maine coast. And a great way to start the day, sitting out front and watching the sun come up. Gorgeous view!
