DEEP DISCOUNTS ON FOUR+ WEEK STAYS: For the past several years, this has been the most sought-after property on the coast of Maine for large families because we can accommodate up to 30 guests. But a late-2023 court ruling affecting our subdivision has limited short-term rentals (defined as less than 28 days) to just two weeks per year! Those weeks are already sold out for 2025, one remains available for 2026, if interested reach out soon for availability!

PRICES SHOWN ARE FOR RENTALS OF 28 DAYS OR LONGER.
Please note that due to court order, we can only rent two weeks per year for less than 28 days, so we have to charge a premium price of $1599/night for bookings of less than 28 days, regardless of what rate the system is quoting. The rates listed in calendar are for 28+ day stays only. For one of the single week stays only please inquire for a special offer.

SATURDAY-TO-SATURDAY POLICY: Like almost all family-oriented vacation rentals on the coast of Maine, this property rents Saturday-to-Saturday only during high season (Memorial Day thru Labor Day), with a 1-week minimum. Bookings of less than 28 days are subject to a much higher $1599 nightly rate. Sorry; this is by court order and outside our control.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION:
=====================
House and separate guest cottage (both included in rental) share five private acres at the end of a peninsula, with 700’ of west-facing oceanfront! We rent the whole thing as a single family compound (5-br 4-ba Main house with rec room PLUS a 2br-1ba guest cottage). The property also features a deep-water dock (8' water depth at low tide at dockside). There's even a hot tub from which to enjoy the incredible sunsets!

You will open your eyes each morning to breathtaking views of Davis Cove and the nearby islands of Muscongus Bay. There's a bald eagle who makes his nest high atop a tree right in front of our guest cottage, and there's a seal (his name is Neal) who is frequently seen just a short distance in front of our floating dock.

Do you like lobster? just walk down to the dock and flag down a passing lobster boat to buy lobsters caught minutes earlier, or walk across the street and buy them from the local fishermen.

The main house includes 5 King bedrooms with ocean views. Three of these King bedrooms are brand new construction in 2019 and include private en-suite bathrooms. One of them even has a Jacuzzi hot tub/spa! Two more King bedrooms upstairs share a bathroom. The main house offers the larger kitchen and dining area of the two buildings. The kitchen and 3 new King bedroom suites are new construction in 2019. All appliances are brand new. There is even a lobster cooker big enough to cook enough lobster for the entire family at once!

The second included building is a cozy 650 sq ft 2-br, 1-ba guest cottage with kitchen/dining area, living room, and massive wrap-around deck, hot tub, and gas grille. The cottage itself sleeps 4, offering a queen bed in each of 2 bedrooms. It’s fully equipped and has everything that you will need to prepare delicious meals, including all new appliances in 2016. The large deck overlooks the ocean and includes a barbecue grill, outside dining area, hot tub and Adirondack chairs. The cottage is one level, and offers excellent accessibility (ground level, no stairs) for families that include people with limited mobility. The larger main building is accessed by stairs and the living spaces are on the 2nd and 3rd floors to enable spectacular ocean views.

The cottage has been particularly popular with groups who wanted to give someone in the group their 'own space'. We've seen everyone from the new parents with the screaming newborn to the grandparents to the in-laws "given their own private living space for the sake of everyone's comfort" in the super-accessible cottage, while the rest of the family enjoys the much larger main house about 120 feet from the cottage.

The recreation room with full HD digital laser projector for the kids’ gaming gear offers a perfect place to send the kids if you want to reserve some “adult time” on the cottage deck to take in the beautiful sunsets from the hot tub. Tell the kids to bring their xBox or other gaming equipment with HDMI output to hook up to our projector. It's also a home theater system with Netflix.

It’s a great place to go ocean kayaking. We can’t provide you with kayaks for liability reasons, but we would be happy to arrange a local rental, and the company we work with will even deliver your kayaks right to the property. We can arrange to have them waiting for you when you arrive.

The family compound lies on 5 very private acres of lawn and mature trees for you and your family to enjoy with 700’ of shore frontage, a deep water dock, and a small rocky beach. The private location is perfect for a peaceful, relaxing getaway, but also just a short drive from enjoying everything that Midcoast Maine has to offer, such as Rockland, which features the annual Blues Festival, Lobster Festival, and the Boats, Homes & Harbor Show. There are also Windjammer Days in nearby Boothbay and Camden harbors. You can take the ferry to several of the local islands, including Vinalhaven, Monhegan, and Islesboro, or visit the many lighthouses in and around the area. There are many art galleries and museums, such as the Owls Head Transportation Museum and the Lighthouse Museum.

There are many hiking trails for you to enjoy in the area, including two small hiking loops within just a couple miles of this property. You can drive or climb Mt. Battie in Camden for amazing views, shop in the cute and quaint shops in downtown Rockland or Camden and enjoy a multitude of restaurants for your dining pleasure. You may also plan wonderful day trips to Acadia National Park in Bar Harbor, Camden, Belfast, Boothbay, Damariscotta, Wiscasset and the list goes on.

There is a binder of information on all of these things and more, located in the home to help you decide what to do first! Samantha, your property manager, lives in town and is at your disposal 24/7 during your stay.

Both buildings have 100mbps Internet. Both living rooms offer a smart television so you can access your Netflix, Hulu or similar account, but please note that due to the location, cable TV is not available.

Please note that due to the proximity of the deep water and a rocky coast, children should be supervised for their own safety. Dogs accepted on a case by case basis.

OWNER'S SECRET:
June, July and August are considered by most people to be THE months to vacation in Maine, but the owner (whose family has owned this property for over 50 years) says his favorite time to visit is September and October. To be clear, we're now talking about autumn in Maine, not summer in Maine. But the sky is clear, the air is dry, it seldom rains, and the hot tub and fireplace more than make up for the possibility of chilly weather. The tourists are all gone, there's no traffic, and the rent is much lower. Food for thought!

2025 MONTHS REMAINING: May 24-June 21, August 30-September 27, September 27-October 25, and extra special of 5 weeks for the price of 4 (including Thanksgiving) October 25-November 29.

EARLY AND LATE SEASON RENTALS:
Please note that our floating dock system, which offers a swim ladder and easy access to boating and swimming is seasonal. The floating docks are generally removed in mid-September and then re-installed in mid-May. If you are considering a stay before June 1 or after Labor Day, please be aware there is a possibility that the floating dock system will have been taken out of the water for the season.

2nd BUNKROOM STARTING 2026: We're adding a 2nd bunk room on the ground floor of the main house. This will allow us to comfortably sleep 30 adults IN BEDS. (Currently the only way we can sleep that many people is with use of pull-out sofas). When the new 2nd bunk room is complete, we'll have 5 king beds in bedrooms plus two queen beds in bedrooms plus 6 more queen beds and 6 more twin beds in our two bunkrooms, for a total of 19 beds plus about 5 more pull-out sofas. Please note that we limit group size to 30 people as a courtesy to our neighbors, despite that we'll have enough beds to sleep more.

LEGAL RESTRICTIONS ON USE: This property is offered for private residential use only. At least SOME members of your group must be related by blood or marriage, but guests are welcome as well. We can only rent to one group at a time, and subletting is not allowed. This is not a "Party House". Big families are welcome (including family reunions) but this is not for bachelor parties or other loud functions. Please respect our neighbors when you visit.

This setting alowed our family to spend quality time relaxing and enjoying the coast of Maine. The firepit, outdoor eating area including the grill, lobster pot, hot tub, and game room were all hits! Thank you for the amazing oceanview and sunsets.

Huge, spacious house for 12 adults and 2 children to spread out in for our week-long family reunion. Large main living area enabled us to be together very comfortably during cooking, eating, and many hours of visiting. The location was great and the view wonderful. Lovely, private property. The host was was always very prompt and helpful with the several inquiries made during the months before our stay. The only thing we didn’t anticipate was the remoteness of the house relative to the nearest towns and amenities.

Very quiet and relaxing. The weather was chilly so dinners outside had to be done by 5 due to getting dark very early. The fire pit came in handy after dinners.

Loved Maine in all it's splendor, keeping our eye on hurricane Lee and deciding to stick it out. It was the best decision we could have made. Weather turned nice, beautiful sunsets followed by a day of wind and rain and it was over!

We had a great time at this property. It worked well for our family to have so many rooms, and the bunk house and pull out couches were great for the kids and teenagers. The view of the ocean was gorgeous and it was the perfect place for kayaking and paddle boarding on down days. The host was quick to respond to questions or concerns. Overall it was a great experience.

This property is truly a gem. The grounds offer so much between yard games, the dock for fishing and swimming, the hot tub for relaxing and the fire pit for fires and delicious s’mores. Location can’t be beat! The two houses easily handled our family with plenty of space, comfortable beds, and a basement offering movies projected onto a huge screen or throwing darts or playing pool. Every single box was checked with this rental!
