Lovely Apartment in Perfect Location
We loved the property and especially watching the sunrise each morning right from the living. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. The 2nd bathroom had a tub only, which was a bit inconvenient for our group. Would stay again.

Very Clean and comfortable home.
We were impressed with cleanliness when we got there. It felt like a warm homecoming. The view is excellent and location is great. We went to two of 3 local lighthouses. They have chairs and a picnic table to sit outside to enjoy the view. There is only one shower but the 6 of us had no problem working around that. We used their crockpot for one of our meals, kitchen well equipped.

Best location ever
This property is one of the nicest we’ve ever stayed at. The picture windows looking out over the harbor, the location, so close to everything we could want, and the cleanliness and comfort of the house itself were all the best. The management company was unresponsive when the keypad door lock didn’t work. We had to climb in through a luckily open window. The company said someone would be right there to fix it and no one ever showed up. Even with that, I would stay here again if we return to the Rockland area.

Another great vacation in Maine
We try to make it to Maine as often as we can, always staying with there bay as our back yard. We also always rent a house for a week or two. This year we tried a different area of Maine and liked the surroundings a lot. The house was the cleanest house who have ever rented. It was well organized and offered a=very comfortable beds and lounge area. The kitchen is somewhat outdated (especially the coffee machine), needed some better cookware, but we made it work. We LOVED the view from the huge windows. So much better than any TV show one can offer. However, we were greatly disappointed that there is no easy access to the outside or a place to sit right from the living room (like a deck). The backyard had a picnic table, but to access it was very inconvenient if we really wanted to eat there. The beach is accessible from down the block (easy walk). Overall, the house is located on a quiet street very close to Rockland Main Street and other local attractions.

The Holiday Meal
My in-laws lives nearby in Spruce Head. For the last few years they are unable to make the 5 hr drive to visit us. This house has been perfect the last 2 years to house our family of five and host a holiday meal for them to come over and share. The house not only has a gorgeous view but is in a great location for our needs. I hope to be able to continue this new tradition ❤️

The house was exactly as advertised. It’s very well maintained and very well appointed. But, the best part is the view. Also, very close to Rockland center and all the activities there. We were very happy with our stay.

Waterfront view
Tidewater is a lovely home in a quiet neighborhood and we spent alot of time using the telescope and gazing at the harbor boats. It has everything we needed for an enjoyable stay, cooking and being together. Also appreciated the slight ramp and wall handle in one of the bathrooms which would be helpful to someone with mobility issues. The floor was immaculate and my grandson had a ball playing on it with his toys.
