We really liked the cottage. The downstairs was bright and spacious with an outstanding kitchen. The bedrooms were good sized also. The house is supplied with a very nice quality of everything you need. There was a comfortable porch off the side which we used most days. First time we've opted to stay in town instead of on a lake somewhere and it was fun. Rockland is a nice town and really is within easy walking distance. Sandy beach is a very nice place to sit and watch the activity on the bay but we also discovered a hidden gem, Birch Point state park that is a must see in the Owls Head area, only a short drive away. There are several other sight seeing opportunities also. Another favorite was Breakwater lighthouse. Plenty of eateries that we walked to. I would easily stay again.

The house was very nice and stocked with everything, we could possibly need. One note, we arrived during a record heat wave, and he home does not have air conditioning. This was not listed as included, however, it was not called out that it did not have central air, like it's called out no carbon monoxide detector. There is a ton to do in the area, I would recommend this property to others.

Hi Cathy, thank you for your review and kind words. You’re right, we don’t have any carbon fuels in the house so only require smoke detectors. We hope to get cooling at some point but until recently didn’t need it! Thank you again.

My daughter and I loved our stay. Juli is an excellent host and easy to contact. My daughter was able to work in the dining room while I took her dog into the also pet-friendly town. Perfect location. The binder full of suggestions for the area was appreciated. The home was exactly as described only better!

Hi Joseph, thank you for taking the time to review Lamorna. We are so proud of and work hard for our 5 star reviews - We would love to understand more about your stay and why you didn’t agree with so many others and would appreciate more input if you would be willing to reach out to us directly. We didn’t hear from you during the entirety of your stay so assumed all was great. Either way, we’re glad you had a good stay and that you liked the convenient parking! Juli and Steven
