Vrbo made the whole rental process really easy and seamless. The owners were very good at writing their listing clearly so there was no Miscommunication. Just a really great experience. We would like to come back next year if possible!

The cottage is very rustic. Everything squeaks and grones, but that is part of the charm. We spent a lot of time out on the screened porch enjoying the view. The setting is very quiet. We also enjoyed the fireflys, lighthouse, and stars at night. The place is very clean and was well stocked for what we needed. We eat out a lot. The only downside was the mosquitos, so be prepared. We lost the Internet, however, Christine was on top of it and got it back quickly. The only downside was the mosquitos, so be prepared. Great vacation!!!!

Our second visit to Dynamite beach. Meticulous and spacious for our party of 3. Access to the water for snorkeling, kayaking etc. Amazing views especially in the evening. Memorable sunsets. Screened in porch and deck are available for your preference .

This beautiful little place is rustic, but as other reviewers have noted, just watching the harbor from the screen porch or perched in the sun near the beach becomes the entertainment of the day. After a year of the pandemic restrictions, this felt like the perfect reset. Owls Head General Store is also a little treasure.

This is an amazing getaway spot. If you are looking for a place to relax and enjoy the view this is it. Watching the sailboats, schooners and fishing boats is peaceful and fun. This place is rustic and quiet and just plain charming. Can’t wait to return.

A special place. Secluded but near Rockland; overlooking bay and harbor; entrance road through the woods.. Cottage was immaculate--nary even a cobweb. Seemed recently painted. Furnishings were comfortable, well-kept, clean. All amenities for cooking, dining in great shape. New bathroom with tub AND shower. Beds were comfortable. An excellent stay for us 3 people. Mrs. Curtis very helpful, friendly. We'll be back....

We spent most of our week on the truly wonderful screened porch, where the view over Rockland Harbor at sunset is breathtaking. This is the memory I will take away from this place. We loved grilling on the deck outside and having breakfast at the little table outside. The cabin itself felt a little rough around the edges but well equipped for a short stay. Christine was wonderfully communicative and accommodated us for an off-schedule arrival which we greatly appreciated.

A treasure on the coast of Owls Head! The cottage was spotless and well equipped. The owners left several phone numbers in case we had a question The screened in porch and deck provided a comfortable place to view the activities of Rockland Harbor- sailing, lobster boats and amazing views of Breakwater lighthouse. My family went snorkeling several times in the waters in front of the cottage. The sunsets were colorful and the night sky was crystal clear. Rockland is 5 minutes away. It is home for several museums , beautiful shops and lovely restaurants. Made numerous trips to McLoons for the freshest lobster in Maine. Hope to return next summer.

There are not enough words to describe how beautiful the setting of this cottage is. And with a screened porch and big windows, it was difficult to stop sitting and watching all the activity in the harbor. We enjoyed our stay tremendously. The cottage is rustic but very well equipped for all needs. There was an ample supply of wood for the wood stove on the cool nights. The cable service and WiFi worked great. There is so much to do in the Rockland area with many excellent restaurants and a great bakery on Main Street. We even took a picnic lunch to the top of Mount Battie for a wonderful view of Penobscot Bay. If you are looking for a quiet vacation on the most remarkable site, this is the place for you. We fully intend to return. We loved it.

We have been coming here for about twenty years. The view of Rockland harbor and the stunning sunsets are outstanding. The cottage is fairly basic but comfortable, and the owners are great.

The cottage is rustic, and quirky, with all the basics of home. No A/c, but it was the last week of August and we did not miss it. Located at the end of a gravel dirt road, and right on Rockland Harbor, if you are looking for peace and quiet, and a million dollar view, this is the place! The owner, Christine, was as helpful as could be, and we really just loved the entire experience. Our first visit to Maine, we drove up from our home in the Shenandoah Valley. Tho the cottage is "away from it all" it was only a few miles from the town of Rockland, where we could pick up everything and anything we needed. I think we spent 90 % of our time on the beautiful screened in porch overlooking the harbor. If you must go out and about there are many interesting places close by, including The Transportation Museum, the Marshall Point lighthouse, the Farnsworth Museum (Wyeth) and many, many interesting shops. Don't miss the 7 Napkin Burger at the Owls Head general store, and breakfast or lunch at Keags store just down the road on 73. We HIGHLY recommend this property. We will probably go back again, perhaps in the Fall next time, just to experience a different season in Maine.

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage very much. Christine, the owner, was very helpful. The cottage sits directly on the water. Our favorite thing was to sit on the lovely screened deck and watch the lobster boats, the many sailboats and the Rockland Light. We saw eagles and loons. It was so very peaceful. The sunsets were spectacular. The cottage is very close to Rockland all that town has to offer.

We come up every summer to escape the southern summer. The cottage is small but perfect for two charming and the view is incomparable. We cycle we kayak we hike and spend hours on the breezy porch watching the endless show in Rockland harbor. The Osprey, Eagles Seals and Loons never disappoint.

I rented this cottage for the week of my birthday last year and was set to rent it again this year until something came up. The cottage is clean, well equipped with everything you need, pots and pans, dishes, linens, even firewood for the out door fire pit or inside stove. Best feature is the view and privacy. Most days I sat on the deck painting Maine seashells. I brought my own kayak and launched every day right in front of the cottage. It is super close to Rockland for antiquing, shopping, dining, etc, and just down the road is the cutest country store with amazing breakfast. The cottage is rustic for sure but incredibly sweet as is the owner. Thanks Christine for a wonderful and easy rental experience. See you again soon!
