About this house rental

Thoughtful touches and attention to detail make this home one of the Maine Midcoast's most highly-rated rentals. This 1930s Dutch Colonial style home is truly one-of-a-kind. It is situated on a beautifully landscaped, spacious lot in a quiet neighborhood just a few blocks from US Route 1, and a short stroll from Rockland's lively and historic downtown. The home has been thoughtfully updated to incorporate today's conveniences, while maintaining its original design styling, character, and charming features, such as: hardwood floors, French doors, a slate kitchen sink, decorative trim moldings and built-in cabinets.

Primary accommodations include:
• Three second floor bedrooms (1-king, 1-queen, 1-full), all feature premium mattresses, window air conditioning units, and quiet-running ceiling fans.

The living room air conditioning unit effectively cools the entire first floor. Quiet-running ceiling fans are also available for use in all upstairs bedrooms, as well as the kitchen.

Whether you're compiling a quick and simple breakfast for two, or a large meal for the entire family, the kitchen is equipped with everything needed for cooking and baking - you need only provide the menu!

The house is equipped with reliable Wi-Fi internet service (Wi-Fi speeds: 100 Mbps download/100 Mbps upload). Escape to the beautiful Maine coast, where the mountains meet the sea, while still being within walking distance of everything that Rockland's vibrant and historical downtown has to offer. With its eclectic shops, award-winning restaurants, performing arts theaters, museums, galleries, and large, deep water harbor, Rockland has been deemed the cultural hub of Maine's Midcoast region. The Maine State Ferry Service terminal is within walking distance of the property and provides access to three neighboring offshore islands. Take in beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and Penobscot Bay while walking atop Rockland harbor's unique 0.9-mile-long granite breakwater. Visit and tour nearby lighthouses such as Owls Head, Marshall Point, or Pemaquid Point. Peruse the works of Andrew and Jamie Wyeth, and many others at the Farnsworth Museum, or visit the Center for Maine Contemporary Art and examine the works of contemporary artists with ties to Maine. Visit and explore charming coastal towns, such as Camden, Lincolnville, Belfast, and Castine. Venture a bit farther north to Mount Desert Island and take in the beauty of Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. Travel south to Damariscotta, Boothbay Harbor, Wiscasset, Freeport, or Portland. Rockland makes a perfect home base for day-tripping up and down Maine's beautiful coastline. Please note - no pets or animals of any classification are permitted in the house or on the property.

We had a wonderful stay in Rockland with my family. The house was a perfect fit for us! The beds were comfortable, patio, kitchen and yard offered us plenty of space to relax and connect. We ran and biked from the house, swam at Crescent beach and Crocket’s beach. One day we took the ferry to Islesboro and biked to the beach and ate lunch. Fishing off the jetty made for great fun too. Overall a wonderful trip and the house was a perfect location and very comfortable.

This is a wonderful place in a residential neighborhood right off the Main Street. It was wonderfully decorated, spacious. The beds were very comfortable and the towels were grand. The kitchen was well equipped. Communication with the owners was easy and helpful. Highly recommended!

The house is very comfortable, functional, and spacious. A nice 15 minute walk from the Rockland waterfront and central area. We enjoyed our stay a lot. Be aware that the owners run a tight ship and take their house rules very seriously. We were 45 minutes late departing and forgot to press the "start" button on the dishwasher; we were charged extra for the former and got an unfriendly text for the latter.
