Everything about this cottage is perfect! The cottage is quintessentially Maine. It has beautiful water views, gorgeous gardens, and wonderful privacy. The inside of Seal Cottage has everything you could possibly need, every amenity has been thought of to make it feel like a home away from home. We can not wait to visit again.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house has great views and is centrally located so we were easily able to visit the surrounding towns and attractions.

We (3 of us) had a great vacation in this amazing and thoughtful Seal Cottage. Great location for just relaxing and reading a book, watching the ever changing tide come and go, and day tripping to the surrounding mid-coast communities. The cottage is very well appointed and truly felt like a home away from home. Loved our time there. Thank you Barbara for sharing your very special home.

We expected good, but it was great! Great location, lots to do and see close by, tremendous hosts who were full of very helpful information. I hesitate to build this up too much because we will be back and don't want competition, but it is pretty darn nice. Great for two to four people. Easy access to Rockland, Thomaston, Rockport, Camden, Port Clyde, but you may want to just stay put! McLoons lobster shack is walking distance. Bring a kayak and bikes. Enough said.

The cottage far exceeded our expectations. Location perfect. Cottage charming and decorated beautifully. Best equipped kitchen we have ever experienced. We loved it, and would like to return next year.

We loved our stay at the cottage as it was beautifully appointed and in a lovely location. We loved waking up in the morning to the view of the harbor. Hope to stay there again.

The cottage was perfect with everything we needed. Quiet, peaceful surroundings. Loved watching the lobster boats in the morning and evening. Close to towns (Rockland, Camden, etc.), restaurants, shopping. Caught a sail out of Camden. McLoons and the Bookstore on the island are a must. Explored Birch Point State Park. Took a trip to Belfast. Wonderful stay!

Truly a great experience. Everything you could want is here: location, views, privacy, and convenience. The amenities and cleanliness of the home made us feel as comfortable as in our own home, and that made for such a relaxing, enjoyable week. We spent our days watching the lobster boats come and go, the tide rolling in and out, the awesome sunsets, and the abundant nature, all literally on the edge of the property. We felt like we had escaped from the world, yet the wonderful towns of Rockland and Camden, with their shops, restaurants, galleries, and museums, are only minutes away. It’s the best of both worlds! Lots of local highlights; for us, the standouts were the nearby Birch Point Beach State Park, and a little farther down the road, yet still a very comfortable day trip, was Reid State Park. Both parks feature beaches that are not to be missed. Most importantly, Barbara and Chuck are exceptionally accommodating hosts who have provided every comfort you could want, with outstanding communication. If you want the quintessential Maine experience, this is the place!

We had a perfect stay! The house was super comfortable and looked just like the photos. The view was amazing.

My husband, our teenage son, and I loved our week at Seal Cottage! The place is absolutely spotless, with the best rental kitchen we've ever seen. And the setting is just spectacular. We spent hours in the cozy glider chairs in the living room, looking out the huge windows at the boats coming and going, and rented kayaks for the week to take advantage of the little private beach. The location, walking distance to both McLoons and Lobster Lane (our favorite used bookshop anywhere) and a short drive from Rockland, can't be beat. We recommend this place wholeheartedly!

The property was picture perfect and we already miss the view. We were able to kayak everyday from the house. We rented from Ducktrap Kayaks. They were so helpful! Altogether a wonderful and relaxing time was had.

One of the nicest rentals that we have ever done. The cottage is a mid-coast Maine gem that we had the pleasure of staying in for two weeks (August 2021). The owners have filled the home with so many lovely touches that we were still discovering new things in our final days. The location was spectacular and we were so entranced by the window view of the working harbor of lobster boats that we forgot there was even a TV in the cottage. Owners were super responsive and lovely to communicate with. A truly inviting cottage done beautifully. We look forward to staying here again.

We experienced a wonderful week at Seal Cottage in beautiful Spruce Head Island. The home is beautiful and well-equipped. We especially enjoyed watching the boats come and go each morning and evening.

Can't wait to come back. The best VRBO property we've stayed at (been to about 20). Not enough superlatives to describe our experience.

This beautifully designed and built cottage is clean and comfortable. Multiple large windows let in the light and frame beautiful views of the harbor. The evening light reflecting off of the lobster boats is worth the price of admission! I ate one of the best lobster rolls of my life at McCloons, which is in walking distance of the cottage. I highly recommend renting this lovely vacation cottage.

Seal Cottage was exactly as advertised and so much more! From the craftsmanship of the house itself, to the thoughtfully and comfortably decorated interior, to the well-stocked pantry items and kitchenware, it exceeded our expectations. Nestled in Powder House Cove, the setting of this cozy cottage was peaceful and picturesque. We had easy access to Boothbay to the south with it's wonderful Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, and to the north, Rockland with it's museums and restaurants, and some wonderful hiking in Camden not to mention just walking on the island. We had 2 wonderful weeks at Seal Cottage and look forward to returning in the future!

AMAZING STAY! Thank you!

We loved everything about Seal Cottage. It's extremely well designed and built, and it takes maximum advantage of its location on Spruce Head Island, overlooking a small harbor with working lobster boats. The layout is wonderful, everything is clean and new, the furnishings are great. The photos in the listing can't do it justice. We really hope to return. We highly recommend Seal Cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful, scenic location in one of the most beautiful parts of the Maine coast.

We had a great week at Seal Cottage and hope to come back. The cottage itself is beautiful and well-decorated. There are huge windows in the great room and main bedroom that look out onto the harbor, and there are ocean views from the windows in the second bedroom and loft as well. The furniture is comfortable and useful, and the owners provided everything we needed in the kitchen—we just had to bring in groceries. There are Adirondack chairs on the porch and also on the lawn facing the harbor, and there’s a path down to a practically private little cove that provides a wonderful place to sit on the rocks. We spent a lot of time relaxing, looking out on the ocean. We also appreciated the location of the cottage. It is an easy 15 minute drive into Rockland (the Farnsworth museum was amazing) and a 30 minute drive into Camden (charming harbor town with great food). We also really enjoyed all the hiking options in the parks and nature preserves. We highly recommend Seal Cottage to anyone looking for a Maine getaway!
