There are many museums in the area, from the world-class Farnsworth Art Museum and Maine Center for Contemporary Arts to the Sail and Steam Museum right across the way and just down the road from the house the Owls Head Transportation Museum, just to name a few. 15 minutes from Camden and Rockport area and many wonderful restaurants and attractions nearby.

Note that the cottage is a short ways down an incline from the parking area, which requires one to go down 29 steps, so access may be challenging for anyone who has issues with steps.

Owl's Head

The house was charming with an amazing view of the harbor. The hosts were very accommodating and the house was well stocked with everything necessary and then some. There was a lot of things to do in the area, or just relax on the porch and enjoy the view. I would highly recommend this rental.

Magical view

The home was so warm and welcoming, over 100 yrs old with natural wood and antique chandeliers and fixtures. The view from the veranda was breath taking yet tranquil overlooking the sail boats and lobster boats sitting silently on the sea. The host was just wonderful and so helpful. He provided bicycles, fishing gear and kayaks. And helpful advice about the area and activities. I recommend this idyllic property highly. We definately want to return someday

Vintage Sea View with modern amenities

Photos of this house do not do it justice. The view of the rockland harbor is nothing short of spectacular. The house itself has been immaculately restored. The level of detail in this house is just unmatched to anywhere I’ve ever stayed. The beds/pillows are comfy, the linens are nice, the appliances are adorable, the finishes are lovely and they really thought of everything like chargers and charging ports, blackout shades, etc. There’s even a baby gate at the top of the stairs. This is my favorite rental that I’ve ever stayed in, it’s truly a gem and I hope to be back soon. And if you’ve never been to owls head/rockland, it’s a great year-round town. The house has access to a local beach. There is also a great boardwalk along the harbor, cute shops, restaurants and tons of museums. Things do tend to close on Sunday but Rockport/Camden is a very short drive and worth a visit anyway. Thanks again Doug and Sheila!

Fit my image of Maine

House was a great vintage representation of what I pictured for an old Maine residence. Property had everything modern you could need but had a great vintage ambiance. Beds were comfortable and all needed kitchen, bathroom and laundry items were available. View from porch is great and owners are attentive to needs. Definitely a relaxing experience!

Beautiful house

This is a wonderful 1912 house that Doug & Sheila have really made into a vintage gem. We loved staying there. Rockland on the other hand is dismal and disappointing, a one street town with a fantastic art gallery, but otherwise slightly wanting. The handful of shops and restaurants appear to open on an adhoc basis, there are very few bars. The one restaurant with a reputation: Primo, we felt was overhyped and over priced. A slightly edgy feel as you enter town.....

About the host

Hosted by Vintage Sea View

Doug and Sheila live just down the road in Portland and have had fun outfitting this camp with many interesting vintage and modern amenities. Sheila and Doug have a passion for old buildings and vintage things, and aspire to re-creating a simpler time when one could while away the hours reading a good book and watching sea and and sky for the every changing colors and patterns. They also like to explore the nearby museums and restaurant scene. Sheila works as a private practice LCSW psychotherapist, and Doug works as an electrical engineer at Texas Instruments.

Why they chose this property

Sheila and Doug wanted to create a home away from home, in a true Maine saltwater camp, and share their home with others. Being just over the line from south Rockland, the house is well situated for forays into town to the restaurants and museums, the South End grocery, Jess' Seafood Market just down the street, or Primo, among the finest farm-to-table experiences in Maine just around the corner.

What makes this property unique

Amazing views abound, fresh salt air, comfy beds and living spaces, and a wealth of Maine experiences all close by make this a prime destination property.
