Great location and property
Exactly as described - great layout and views, especially from the 3rd floor, close to water, short walk to town, great location to explore the area. Note: as described, the stairs are very steep and would not be appropriate for someone with limited mobility.

Great place!
it’s a very nice duplex on the 2nd and 3rd floors. the 1st floor has permanent occupants. Occasionally we could smell cigarette smoke filtering up though the floors or walls. Considering the age of the house it’s understandable that the 2 units aren’t sealed off from each other. The house rules state no smoking anywhere on the property. Granted, we think we may have also smelled wood burning fireplaces in the neighborhood or even perhaps the Canadian wildfires. It wasn’t bad, but can’t give a 5 star rating because of it.

Maine Lobster Festival Week
Great central location to everything. My only recommendation would be to either flip the mattresses or change them out. There were some divots and lumps that need to be worked out. Other than that perfect place to stay!!!!!

Lovely home base while in Maine
The hosts were very welcoming and nice. The house is very neat and clean, the kitchen was well-stocked with utensils and cookware (perfect for making meals for our kids), and close to downtown Rockland shops and a small beach where we could watch boats in the harbor. We were there during the heatwave so the ACs were a big plus and kept us cool. The location was central for us and were able to do day trips to Camden/Rockport, Mount Battie, Boothbay Harbor, Birch Point/Owl's Heads, and Popham Beach. Highly recommend this place!

Clean, Great Views, Near Fantastic Rockland
Incredible location with beautiful views! My two teens and I had a fantastic, relaxing time in this lovely little section of Rockland, very walkable to town and the Harbor. The owners live downstairs and they were overwhelmingly friendly and easy-going. In fact, my son had hurt his knee and one of the owners (Paul) had an extra pre-packaged knee brace which he gave to us, which not only helped but was a great measure of their kindness and compassion. I loved that the place came with COVID compliant sheets and towels in hospital-grade plastic ready for use. The only downside was that the local rental agency was difficult to get in touch with. It's a shame because they have a storefront right on Main St Rockland, but don't let that deter you. Hopefully, the owners will have resolved it or moved on by the time you get there.

This historic home is amazing! The owners are a wonderful couple that met us as we were checking in, and we talked with during our stay. The views are stunning. The location is wonderful. We took evening walks and walked to downtown. We would definitely stay here again.

Full moon and spectacular accommodations!
Paul and Molly probably scheduled the beautiful views in the evening of the full moon over the Rockland Breakwater! Their place was just as advertised: very clean, lots of room, many windows and light, even games and children’s books. On the second and third floors of their beautifully renovated home, the views are spectacular! I imagine cool breezes in the summer. We were there in the middle of winter and it was cozy. Paul and Molly were helpful and kind. We were very pleased! Thanks bunches, Diane
