We really needed a break as a family and this was perfection. Comfortable, unique, charming, and well equipped with quality furniture and a stunning view. Room for some aggressive badminton 😁 followed by a cocktail and beach bonfire. Central location, good shower, great table for dinner and crafting. Our girls loved having upstairs to themselves. Truly a delight.

The home, ocean, and neighborhood are all exquisite and Owl's Head's energy is magical. The home has all the comforts of home and the (practically) private beach is the most fabulous part!

The location is perfect. The yard had room to play. The beach is beautiful, rocky at high tide and sandy at low tide- just like a Maine beach should be. we used the fire pit many times. The beds were super comfortable. Lots of utensils and kitchen gadgets to get meals prepared. It was our second stay and we plan to be back!

Great stay for our family, beautiful and private. We were able to relax and play without going far

We had a wonderful time at the cottage. It was a great launching point for exploring the area and we enjoyed leisurely mornings playing on the beach. Would definitely highly recommend!

We rented this house for four people for a week and loved waking up having coffee by the ocean. The house is has a well equipped kitchen and plenty of cozy space. Paul was super communicative and helpful. Thank you!

Comfortable property, accommodating many guests, well equipped kitchen, linen and toiletries. The location was great for exploring the mid-coast from Booth Bay to Belfast, and beyond. The fire pit area is great for s'mores and stargazing!*

The main house immediately felt like home. We loved the Owls Head Store. They have delicious pizza, delish hamburgers, and breakfast sandwiches. The weather the week we were there was damp and foggy. We had only 1 full day of sunshine. We enjoyed sunning on the beach and making a bonfire that evening. The kids planned their hikes And runs each day. We purchased steamed lobsters and ate on the patio one evening. I read the murder mystery set on the cottage. The weather was the biggest disappointment. The beach house is a bit farther than I thought, but we had a great time and managed to eat at wonderful restaurant

We realize that this property is old and has limitations as a result, but future renters should be aware that the ceilings are VERY low in this house! My husband and son are both 6’5/6’6 and they repeatedly hit their heads. The floors are wonky & not flat- make you feel as if you’re drunk the whole time. Everything is moist in the house. We realized there was no ac, but they desperately needed several dehumidifiers at the property. The downstairs toilet was always a roll of the dice when flushing. The compost toilet at the beach cottage was FILLED with big spiders - no one was willing to use! The sheets on the beds were piling - think they used to be flannel sheets, but between the moisture from humidity and piling… The knives in the kitchen were so dull they were dangerous, the screen door was broken and had duct tape on it, two of the four plastic Adirondack chairs down at the beach we’re broken. The blinds in the master downstairs bedroom were not functional because of all the knots in the cords. We didn’t feel that the floors had been moped in ages and the windowsills had bugs and dirt. The owner was very pleasant and easy to deal with but we didn’t bring up all these issues at the time - many of which couldn’t be fixed due to the age of the house.

This is a comfortable, well equipped, private cottage near the end of a dirt road with a water view and access to a private beach. We had a wonderful time kayaking and exploring the area.

This property is wonderful. The location to the water and access to a beach was the best part of the week. The home is lovely and clean! Paul is so nice to work with and really cares about your stay. We had blues sky’s all week and watched amazing fireworks from a neighbor a few doors down. Lobster, sunshine, boating swimming and family. A perfect week!

My entire family loved staying at the cottage in Owl’s Head! Having access to the beach was lovely! The fire pit was great to gather around with the family! We stayed in several nights and made use of the grill and well stocked kitchen. Would definitely stay again!

We all enjoyed the house in Owl's Head and felt well cared for.

Property is good. Location is good. All of us had a good time.

The house and beach cottage were very well equipped. Nice, thoughtful touches of fresh fruit and flowers. Setting was good affording nice views of sunrises. The only negatives were that some maintenance is required. Particularly the deck and surrounding walkways of the beach cottage. The wood is seriously rotting away and dangerous. In addition, the door to the main house would not close all the way. But overall, we had a wonderful experience.

The house is cozy, quaint and quite comfortable for 7 adults. There are plenty of seating areas: living room with 3 couches, patio, beach house porch and fire pit on the beach. By far, the ocean view by the fire pit was everyone’s favorite. This was great for sipping morning coffee while relaxing listening to lobster men tend their traps and the waves breaking on the rocks. At low tide there is a beach. For reading, the house has a large collection of Agatha Christie books. While Rockland is a short drive away with plenty of restaurants, we cooked most nights in a well stocked kitchen. Paul is a very responsive host resolving an issue we had very quickly. Overall, everyone had a relaxing time.

Wonderful property. Enjoyed all the amenities.

The owner was very responsive with great recommendations for our family. We hope to return again!

Great Trip

Five college friends (45 years ago) spent a week here & we enjoyed every minute. The cottage was quaint & well decorated. It was a short walk to the beach & we enjoyed having a fire one evening. The kitchen is well appointed & had everything we needed when we bought fresh lobster right off the boat in Owls Head. We were close to Rockport, Camden & about 2 hours from Bar Harbor. Birch Point State Park was a quick drive & had amazing views. We contacted the caretaker, he was such a nice man who helped the guys figure out the tv & hooked us up with the lobsterman. The little general store in Owls Head is great, it reopened the weekend we got there. The owner has many of the staples you may need & the cafe is excellent. We brought bkft home twice as well as an evening meal. For a special night out we would recommend Primo. Thanks for making our vacation a little bit extra special.

We were so pleased to find this vacation home in mid-coast Maine. So many small, convenient amenities were provided, from lanterns to take nightly trips down to the shore for stargazing, a lobster pot, crab-crackers and picks for enjoying Maine's sweetest treat, to quality linens, that made our stay so welcoming. It's very clear that this house is loved by the owners and not just invested in as a vacation rental. The living area was so comfortable and cozy. We don't want to say more because we want to return and actually have this property be available!!
