Owls Nest

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

The most enticing aspect of Owls Nest is the fact that it sits right on Crescent Beach — one of the most spectacular beaches (not to mention views) in Owls Head and the Midcoast area. Just over the rocks, the beach stretches out with sand to sink toes into, calm water to swim in, and rocks to find crabs and periwinkles under and on. You won't need to pack a lunch or a bag — if you forgot something, your house is right behind you. The house sits on an unusually large parcel of grassy waterfront — a great place to cook out, play a game of badminton, or just watch the sailboats pass by and the sunset. The front deck has plenty of comfortable seating and a large umbrella for hot days.

Lounge comfortably in the living room and indulge in your favorite shows on the TV there, or try your hand at some board games and card games. Take advantage of your serene setting and grab one of the provided books to catch up on some reading. The kitchen is well-equipped with full-sized appliances and the conveniences of a year-round kitchen. A dining area off the kitchen has seating for guests, with lovely views of the water and the islands beyond. When it's time to retire for the evening, several of the bedrooms have picturesque views of the water, the perfect sight to begin and end every day.

Owls Head is noted for its historic lighthouse with unparalleled views of the Penobscot Bay islands, its scenic working harbor, and the world-class Owls Head Transportation Museum. Just a short drive from the house is Birch Point Beach State Park, which has a sand beach framed by a secluded natural setting. The small village common, at the end of North Shore Drive, is the gateway to Owls Head Harbor and the Owls Head Light. Owls Head's unique location on the coast makes getting to Camden, Rockport, Tenants Harbor, Port Clyde, and Bar Harbor very easy!

Family Trip
Great location. Fantastic views and proximity to beach. Ocean cove was great for swimming, boating, fishing. Nice big yard space as well. Only flaw was property was not mowed upon arrival and had to be requested. Manager was very responsive though. Inside is a little dated and could use some updates. AC would be a nice add. It was really hot during our stay. Overall we loved it and would go back.

Incredible Location
We were blown away by the walkout to beach location and the view. I am not going to nitpick when this made the experience more than worth the cost. Thank you for sharing your home

Convenient, low-key beach house
We enjoyed a quiet stay at this tidy, modest beach house. The fresh, crisp white bedding and towels were great. The view and beach access (via a short trail at the corner of the lot—towards the public access) were great. The windows were hard to open and close but the ocean breezes were worth the bother. The little kitchen had a good stock of bowls and dishes, but it’s necessary to bring your own oil, salt and pepper and while you’re at it being a sharp chopping knife. The nearby village of Owl’s Head is charming and the lighthouse there is a rewarding g and short walk. The house is also just minutes to Rockland which is one of our favorite towns in Maine, so it’s a great house to just relax in all day and take in the view and air or to explore the region. We enjoyed our stay!

The location was excellent. Access to the beach was easy and the view of the ocean was amazing. Quiet but close to many activities. We would rent again!
