We stayed at this cabin two years in a row and enjoyed it very much. Nice view and close to varied recreational opportunities. Enjoyed lobsters from Liberty Lobster close by. Only complaint was that the beds were a little firm; both beds could use some mattress toppers.

View from the property is fantastic, and it was lovely being able to walk right down to the shore early morning to look for shells. Spruce Head Island is just a nice, secluded location but also very close to Rockland. Oh and McCloons is right there. Which doesn't hurt .

The owners of this VRBO were terrific; it was very dark when I arrived, and since I was alone, I was pretty nervous and could not find the house. They were so patient and stayed on the phone until I found it. This place is adorable, and it is just too bad the weather was not great. But it has a well-equipped kitchen; the bathroom is very small, but I knew that going in. This whole area is beautiful. I would recommend it, but for a small group. It was perfect for one.

This was our second stay at this cottage as we love the area. Watching the tide come in and go out each day with the spectacular view of lobster boats and sail boats (as well as a gaggle of geese, ducks, Blue Herons, and Peregrine falcons) made for a very relaxing vacation. This location was perfect for the two of us and a great base camp for trips to Camden, Rockland, Damariscotta and more. Mike was available if we had any issues (we didn't) and the cottage was just right for our needs. We will definitely be back!

We enjoyed our stay! Sunrises with coffee on the porch, bird watching, walks to McCloons (we went 2x). A great spot to relax and get away.

We’ve stayed at many places in Maine, but this one was by far our favorite. The location is amazing. The cottage itself is adorable and so perfect. We can’t wait to book our next day next year!

Peaceful snd absolutely stunning views right from the deck. At low tide there is so much to explore. You can kayak right from the cottage and ride bikes, short walk to incredible food. Breathtaking and relaxing. We will recommend highly and stay again.

We had a wonderful, restful 5 days. I especially enjoyed watching the tides. We kayaked and rode our bikes almost 100 miles over three days in three areas. Lots of lobster, a puzzle, books and campfires. Just what we like: an active but relaxing vacation.

These hosts are to be commended. This cozy cottage is a real gem. Thoughtfully decorated and equipped with everything needed. Beautiful views, sitting by the firepit watching the wildlife, sunsets and lobster boats come and go. Very peaceful. Looking forward to returning.
