Accommodations: House, 2 Bedrooms + Loft, 2 Baths (Sleeps 6-7)
Keywords: Ocean-view, seaside, quiet, secluded
The house is named the Carousel because it is an octagon, designed with rooms arranged around about a massive central post. It is a cozy, two bedroom house on a rocky bluff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The house has a spectacular view of Metinic, Two Bush and Matinicus Islands. It sits on a quiet dead-end road near the village of Tenants Harbor and in the small community of Hart's Neck. Tenants Harbor is about 12 miles from Rockland, an interesting town with museums and galleries.
The layout consists, moving counter-clockwise, of the front hall, 2 bedrooms, each with a private bathroom, a welcoming living room/dining room facing the ocean and a well equipped kitchen with gas stove and dishwasher. A porch off the dining room overlooks the cliffs and is the perfect place to relax or to entertain. Upstairs, there is an open loft with skylights, ideal as a studio or third bedroom. There is heat from an airtight Reliant wood stove and baseboard electric units. For rainy days there is also also cable TV and a DVD player.
The ocean is endlessly fascinating! With a clear northwester, you can see hundreds of islands, yachts and lobsterman pulling their traps, while in the fog, you are enclosed in your private world. There are many wonderful places to walk or ride bikes, and renters have the use of a private dock and tennis court nearby. The town also offers warm water quarry swimming and the opportunity for boating of all kinds. The Rockland area has many terrific restaurants, galleries and museums.
An added note: no one should visit without taking the day trip out to Monhegan!

We had a wonderful time at the Carousel. We live in Alabama, and it was our first trip to Maine. We feel like we stayed in the "old Maine" and not in a "yuppie suburb of Boston". Jenifer was wonderful about meeting our needs and she suggested a day trip to Monhegan Island. It was an extraordinary day. We will never forget the beauty and hospitality of Maine. I hope to return one day. Patti Eason
