On Ocean, Great Sea Views, Well Equipped, Private, 3 BR

A three-bedroom, one-bath (plus an outdoor shower), year-round house which can accommodate six comfortably. Right on the ocean with two optional kayaks available at the house ($200 for both). Great for Summer, Spring, and Fall vacationing; situated on one-half acre on the ocean with fabulous 180-degree water views. Includes: well-equipped, up-to-date, Eat-in Kitchen with dishwasher and Jen Air Grill, double oven, microwave, CuisinArt, etc. Living Room with wood burning stove. House has gorgeous Post and Beam construction with lots of wood throughout. You see the ocean from the Kitchen and Living Room through double glass sliding doors. Sit on the rocks in the front yard at the water's edge. Contact owner for approval if you want to bring a pet over 25 pounds or have more than 1 pet, pet fee is per day per pet.


Shopping: Kittery Outlet Mall just off I-95 in Maine just after New Hampshire border, follow I-95 signs. Freeport: more charm (less stores) and a quaint village setting. In Thomaston, try the State Prison Store for hand-made wood furniture, decoys, and other objects. Everything is made by the inmates, no kidding. There are even tour buses that bring customers here! All prisons used to do this until union pressure stopped it in most places. On I-95 in New Hampshire the state has discount wine and liquor outlets with no state taxes and typically 10-20% less than Connecticut. Rockland: 10 minutes away with Shaws and Hannaford supermarkets - huge, modern, great selections, good prices. Wal-Mart, toy stores, restaurants, and nice stores for kids. Camden: Classic New England town with quaint shops and sights; lots of gift shopping, etc.

Sightseeing: Tenants Harbor, Camden, Owls Head Lighthouse and also The Transportation Museum, Port Clyde (and Marshall Island Lighthouse) - a fishing village with ferry to famous Monhegan Island, Farnsworth Museum in Rockland (lots of Wyeths paintings). Vinal Haven and North Haven Islands accessible by regular ferry service, about 45-minute ride. A truly scenic area is Acadia National Park which includes Bar Harbor, Cadillac Mountain, tremendous ocean views, hiking trails (The Beehive), Jordan Pond and Tea House, Wonderland, and much much more!

Dining: McLoons Lobster Shack - rated #1 by Down East Magazine - 1.25 miles from house; Primo's - Nationally-known, get reservations weeks/months in advance; Ada's Kitchen - upscale Pasta & Pizza; In Good Company - Upscale tasting plates; Rockland Cafe - cheap, locals, Tue night (all you can eat fish = $24, wine $9/glass - not fancy, but recommend if you're relaxed. Classic Inns/Restaurants: East Winds in Tenants Harbor, + Clark's Island (Craigmair). Bakery Cafe Restaurant in Thomaston. For Coffee, Cafe and books, try The Second Read (used books) on Main St Rockland. Dorman's Ice Cream on Rt 1. Happy Clam on RT 131 in Tenant’s Harbor is also good – semi upscale.

Just wonderful
Stay in October was just beautiful. Listing is accurate with everything you need in a kitchen as far as pot, dishes, and tons of utensils and pans. Quite and cozy, plus million dollar views. Communication with property owners was the best we’ve ever had. Owner even reached out to us to make sure everything was okay and answer any questions we had. Nice touch! Should have booked two weeks. Tons of sights in the area, museums and shopping in quaint towns. AND did I mention the lobsters??!!

Beautiful view
The yard at this house can’t be beat, especially if you have little ones that need to run and play! It’s huge, and the view is spectacular. Notice there is no washing machine in the listing. Also, all of the beds are incredibly soft, which can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your preference. For someone with back issues, it may be a problem. The house was clean, and everything that we needed was there. Gene was responsive and helpful, and the lobster shack down the street was the best we’ve ever had in all of our trips to Maine!

A special place beyond our expectations
Every year my wife and I do a weeklong end of summer rental with our moms. Thanks to the Goodman, this was our best trip yet! We are so grateful to have found this special home. We trusted the positive reviews when booking, however reality exceeded even our highest of expectations. This property is that quintessential Maine lobster village experience we had hoped for - it felt at times as if we were in a Norman Rockwell painting! The Goodman’s home itself was just amazing! The huge front yard overlooks a rocky beach with a million dollar view of the evening’s sunset and were we enjoyed nights of star gazing. The interior was exceptionally clean with modern amenities, strong internet, and with all the comforts of home. It just felt authentic, like staying at a friends home that they actually use - and not repurposed as a rental. On the property sits two beautiful apple trees where we harvested and baked a pie. My mother in law is an avid herbalist and spent any of hours wondering the property’s wild varieties of plants and herbs. There were days where we did not have a need to leave the property because there was just so much to do within its boundaries. This is easily one of the most thoughtfully landscaped homes I have rented, it gives you a sense of seclusion and being back in touch with nature. We are so grateful to have come across this special home and the memories it has afforded us to create with our moms. We will absolutely be back next year - and many years to come! Thank you Gene for affording us with this opportunity.

While there were sites and activities nearby, nothing could compare with the absolutely stunning views at this property. We enjoyed the beauty, quiet, both sunrises and sunsets, and a million stars at night. The house was well-appointed and cozy. The beds were comfortable.

Location was awesome. Property is just perfect.
Overall, the property is as described, comfortable clean, very well supplied with all you need. Host provides you with great info on area. Our only comment would be if you plan your trip, make sure the area is open. We found going before Memorial Day that all stores and restaurants were not open every day. We will certainly look at going back AFTER Memorial Day

Fantastic views of ocean! Just what we wanted!
Plenty of room for two. Interesting walking and bicycling direct from the property. Nesting ospreys nearby, as well as eagles, cormorants, loons, sea gulls, and ducks, etc. plus numerous song birds on the property. The only drawback was that we had to clean the inside of the refrigerator before we could put our food in it.

Lovely view on busy road
Set right on the water with a stunning ocean view, the house was very clean and the downstairs comfortable. However, the busy road into the island just a few feet from the house and at the beginning of a small bridge made it less than ideal while sitting outside The fact that the bedrooms were upstairs and bathroom downstairs was not mentioned. There was no photo indicating there were stairs. This made it less than ideal for me. Although I did not use the third bedroom and photos were not included, it was above the attached garage, making it a long trek to the one bathroom. Gene was very communicative and answered my questions in a timely manner.
