About this property

Breathtaking views, total relaxation, do as much or as little as you choose

This oceanfront treasure is a cozy one bedroom cottage, 2 twins, furnished with luxury linings. Simple and elegant with breathtaking views of the Mussel Ridge Channel. Bold ocean at its best! All the furnishishings needed for a relaxing vacation, whether it's looking for sea glass, periwinkles or just curl up with the sea breeze and a good book. A bright cheerful fully appointed kitchen with an ocean view, we think you will agree no detail has been overlooked. Get in touch with the natural beauty of the Maine Coastline. It is a short walk to a to a beautiful sandy beach, dig your toes into the sand or swim out to the small island in front of the cottage.
For a day of adventure book a day sail trip out of Rockland, Camden or Belfast. Hike Camden Hills State park, ferry boat ride to Vinalhaven, or Ilsesboro, climb Mount Battie, visit the Owls Head Transportation Museum to see vintage cars and airplanes. Local sea kayak rentals available. Don't forget your camera because the ever changing light serves up photo ops all day, from some of the most beautiful sunrises to breathtaking views of the moon rising at night. Enjoy a lobster boat tour, a concert in the park, fireworks, North Atlantic Blues festival, The Lobster festival, craft fairs if your timing is right. Once you arrive you may never want to leave. A detailed rental agreement is required, no pets and non smoking.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Amazing Owls Head Bay view. Quiet and relaxing. Idyllic and peaceful. Well equipped, everything you need, just bring yourselves. Comfy beds, nice linens. Unfortunately the cottage was lacking in cleanliness. Some of our issues : dusty blinds and floors, grimy stove knobs and kitchen sink. The bathroom had not been cleaned. The soap provided was bars of used soap from many previous occupants. On a positive note, the shower curtain was new! We did enjoy our stay, however the cleaning crew needs to pay more attention to details.
