Schooners Landing - Luxury Oceanfront Home With Lighthouse Views

Leave the stress of everyday life behind and enjoy the peacefulness of a passing tall masted sailboat, watch the sun rise, feel the ocean breeze and take in all the coast of Maine has to offer. A stay at Schooners Landing will surely make your vacation one of your most memorable. Located on over five private acres with 300 feet of shore frontage in the charming village of Owls Head, just minutes from Camden, Rockport, Rockland, museums, shops, restaurants and lighthouses, our home affords you a perfect destination for a family gathering or a get together of friends. With three levels, everyone can have their own space yet share memories laughing and visiting together. There are water and lighthouse views from every room.

We rent our home only from Saturday to Saturday May 1st through November 1st. After November 1st we can be flexible on requested dates.

Enjoy the many summer festivals or come for the 4th of July and sit on the deck and take in the fireworks going off over the harbor! We are blessed with a peaceful and tranquil spot on the water, yet very close to wonderful places to hike, swim, bike, golf, shop, dine, farmer's markets and three major chain grocery stores so you don't need to buy your supplies at the local gas station. :-)

The modern house which was built with characteristic New England charm, is classic shingle-style architecture with much detailed interior woodwork and three stories containing approximately 5,000 square feet of living space with large oversized rooms. Windows and decks take in the spectacular sunrises, passing sail boats, lobster boats pulling up their traps just off the front deck and lighthouses. Rockland harbor to the north is home to the country's largest fleet of tall masted sailing ships and many pass by the house each day. The house sits at the end of a 750 foot long driveway. A small stream runs year round through the property through evergreens and apple trees. The house is private yet not isolated like many Maine homes that force you to take a lengthy drive to shopping, dining or just to get milk. We are also blessed to be on a city water line so water pressure and excellent water quality, which are so often issues at many homes in Maine with well water, are not an issue at our home.

You enter through an antique leaded glass and oak door and as you stand in the large entryway, to your left through double glass doors is the formal dining room with seating for eight with a side door to a pantry area and the kitchen. The library/den is on your right. Straight ahead is the kitchen with a large eating area, granite counter tops, sitting area, smart tv, gas log stove with antique oak mantle, side-by-side refrigerator, dishwasher, five burner Viking gas cooktop, electric oven, KitchenAid mixer, over 50 cookbooks, lighted cabinets with leaded glass doors, microwave, small wine refrigerator, lobster pots, etc. and everything else you need to cook a gourmet meal. The kitchen area looks through curved windows out over the lawn to the water. There is also a six foot round table from Windsor Chairmakers in Lincolnville, Maine with seating for 6. Also straight ahead on the main floor is the living room with an antique marble fireplace, writing desk, two large couches, large binoculars mounted on a tripod, smart TV and sliding doors out to the curved 40 foot wide deck with great views of the Rockland breakwater and lighthouse, Seal Rock, Penobscot Bay and seating for 12. Also on the main floor is the primary bedroom, which opens to the deck. This bedroom has a king size bed, sitting area with upholstered rockers, windows on three sides with wonderful views of the water, two walk in closets and two baths; one with a whirlpool tub, the other with a steam shower. Also on the main floor is the laundry area, the library/den with oak bookcases, desk, printer/fax and a couch to sit back on and look out over the water and enjoy a good book. There are also over 600 books at the house if you enjoy relaxing with a good book. The library cabinets contain over 40 board games, puzzles, etc.

The second floor has two oversize bedrooms and a large sitting area with smart tv, DVD player and book case. Each bedroom has a king bed and a twin bed. Each bedroom also has its own bath with marble floors and oversized marble showers. Both bedrooms and the sitting area have lighthouse and water views. The second floor also has two decks, one with ocean views and one facing west with a seating area perfect for sunbathing in the afternoon or watching the sunsets.

The lower level has a fourth bedroom with a king size four poster bed and built in bookcase with smart television and windows all with water views, a large game room with pool table, Foosball table, antique bar, mini refrigerator, futon, two arcade games, round table for playing cards or doing puzzles, bookcase, electric fireplace, stereo and plenty of windows with water views and a double glass door opening to a stone patio with a swing and plenty of seating. Also in the lower level is our lodge room (a replica of a long cabin living room), an acoustically designed home theater with two levels of seating, a 75 inch smart television and DVD player. Lastly, on this level is a full bath with a two person whirlpool tub with 14 air jets plus marble shower with a rain shower. We provide top quality towels, bedding, furnishings, kitchenware and appliances. You are renting a luxury home and we want you to feel pampered. You will be on vacation and it should feel special. This is not a "rental property" managed by an agency with multiple properties and it is not a "rental" owned by absentee owners who live a thousand miles away and is neglected with numerous maintenance issues. We offer this home every summer to families who want to experience a waterfront residence and have a memorable get together of family and friends. We offer hospitality. We are not in the "rental home" business. We care about our guests and their experiences and our guests appreciate that we care about their enjoyment. The reviews left by our guests reflect our commitment to families having an enjoyable stay.

For holiday rentals such as Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years, we will accommodate 7 day rentals or longer that are not Saturday to Saturday depending on what day of the week the holiday falls. We do allow rentals of less than 7 days during the off season provided they do not include both a Saturday and a Sunday. If you are interested in a rental of only 5 or 6 nights, please contact us. Please do not make a reservation request for less than 7 nights without first communicating with us regarding the dates. If you are celebrating a special birthday, anniversary or other event, please let us know. If requested, we will completely decorate the house for Christmas at no additional cost.

Maine is a beautiful, magical place especially if you can look out the windows every day at the water. Come take a deep breath, decompress and leave the stress of everyday life behind. A visit to the Maine coast is truly relaxing. We would love to have you as our guests!
