About this property

Rockport Harbor Village House Summer Rental

2 month minimum - Location! Location! Stay in the village in a uniquely beautiful and serene site. Walk to town. Enjoy long private views (and cool ocean breezes) toward the bay, set among the treetops, just a 2 minute stroll to the Harbor, fine restaurants and galleries! We just look like we're secluded, but we're right in quaint Rockport Village Center. Enjoy our stylish, comfortable home, dine, enjoy morning coffee on the deck or porch, gather at the fire pit for a quiet evening beverage, or stroll 2 minutes down the road to superb dining. Grab a walking stick and wander through our 2 acres of charming gardens down to our 50+' of waterfront on the Goose River. Relax and watch one of our 3 large HDTVs or curl up with a book--to be enjoyed together or separately in the comfy living room, separate family room or the sunny atrium. Grab lobsters from nearby Graffam Bros. (5 min walk away) and cook at home in our exceptionally well equipped kitchen, or have a bite at Graffam's summer outdoor eatery. Our freshly decorated Rockport Harbor Village home is located in the beautiful harbor town of Rockport; just a short walk to Rockport Village restaurants and 10 minute walk to the Camden Arch. Rent bikes, SUP, kayaks, etc. at nearby Maine Sports Store (.05). Enjoy excellent Rockport (18 Central Oyster House and Nina June just .02 mi), Ports of Italy (.01), or Camden restaurants (1) and hip cafes (Seafolk .02 mi), galleries (Ralston Gallery .02), shops, local specialty food and bakery (Bleeker & Greer .04), fresh and take away seafood (Graffam Bros. .02) and wine sellers (Rayr Wine .03), as well as our state of the art Rockport Library. Partake of a variety of entertainment at many local venues and Rockport and Camden Opera Houses and downtown Rockland for music and theater offerings. Enjoy scenic walking and running trails, Rockport and Camden Harbors where you can take a windjammer cruise, sailing lessons, fish, kayak, SUP or swim at our small sandy harbor beach or at a nearby lake. Only .01 mile to Maine Sports where you can rent bikes, kayaks, SUPs, canoes, etc. or shop their great selection of high quality sports clothing and gear. Or, enjoy magnificent fall foliage or a winter stay for the world renown Camden Conference or gentle skiing at Camden Snow Bowl (10 minutes away). There’s miles of nearby trails for hiking and mountain biking. Keep up with your gym workouts with a weekly membership at our state of the art Y (1 mi). Relax and read or keep fit with our rowing machine and stationary bike while taking in the river views downstairs in our atrium. The popular and beautiful town of Camden is one mile away and Camden Hills State Park is just three miles north; while Rockland--the Arts Capital of Maine--and the ferries to Vinalhaven or North Haven islands are easy (~5 mile) drive away, with charming Port Clyde with ferry to Mohegan, Tenants Harbor and Cushing are a few miles further beyond Rockland. Or visit eclectic Belfast, just ~20 minutes north. Take a beautiful day trip to Acadia National Park for fun activities in Bar Harbor. All of midcoast Maine is easily accessible from here and is certainly worth exploring!

Please note that although our lovely house can accommodate many more, we prefer to rent to no more than 3 couples at a time.

Please note: Our home is not suitable for small children due to safety concerns.

Rockport doesn't offer much as far as restaurants. But easy access to Camden,.

Enjoyed ourselves very much. Dale was very helpful with suggestions for the area.

A Lovely and Comfortable House

Truly one of the most comfortable places we've stayed in. Big comfy sofas and chairs to relax in, and the bed in the master bedroom was very nice. Loved the deck and access to the stream below the house. The owners are helpful and responsive. We'll be back!

Awesome place

This place is fantastic. Very, very nice place, comfortable, convenient to everything. Close to route 1 but far enough away to not hear traffic. Camden is right down the street. Short walk down to the harbor. Right near everything but secluded. Would love to go back sometime.

Perfect getaway vacation home

Perfect, perfect, perfect!!! This home is beautiful, roomy and the landscaping awesome. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Communications with Dale and Mary Ann were excellent. Response time excellent. I can't say enough good things about this rental. The location is perfect for heading north or south on US1. Plenty of restaurants within easy shot, We aren't much for actually lounging on vacation - too much to see and do. But this home would be perfect for just relaxing and staying put all day. Great kitchen too -for those who cook when on vacation. The location is very private and yet just a couple of block away from US1. House was clean, beds very comfortable. Huge TV for sports fan and very comfortable sitting furniture. I just can't say enough good things about this home rental.

Fabulous Getaway

My family and I had a fabulous week in Maine! The house was located is a perfect location for day trips to journey through the coastal areas of Maine. The house was just as described and so well stocked! The property was located on a stream which was absolutely beautiful with the fall foliage. We loved sitting on the deck in the evenings around the fire pit enjoying the scenery and listening to the ducks! We also enjoyed being able to walk around Rockport! The hosts gave many wonderful suggestions for restaurants and places to visit. They were able to answer any questions. This was a great location for our Maine adventure!

Lovely home, lovely location

What a nice getaway. We were looking for a change of scenery for a working "vacation," and Mary Ann & Dale's place was perfect! So spacious, both my husband and I could spend the day in our own areas and not feel like we were crowding each other. Internet connection was fantastic, plenty of space to lounge around in the evenings. And when we were able to escape for walks and exploring, the scenery was wonderful! Rockport is such a cute area, with some nice walks along the water. We spent a good amount of time in Camden, getting coffee and Zoot's and exploring the town. Camden Hills State Park is a must visit - even if you're not interested in hiking, a quick drive to the top of Mt. Battie is beyond worth the view. We'd definitely return again!

Comfortable, spacious and convenient

A beautiful multi-level home. Extremely private and peaceful. Especially perfect if you need quiet time to do any work. Plenty of spaces to choose where to work. The house is equipped with pretty much anything you would need. We stayed a month, stocking up the pantry and very large freezer & refrigerator. The house has a few outdoor spaces to eat as well as indoor. The house is situated towards the back the road and the front is really in the rear. A large lawn slopes down towards the Goose River which empties into the Harbor just a short walk away. The house affords the illusion that you are isolated but, in reality, a right turn brings you into a small, charming fishing village and a left turn a few away minutes from more commercial offerings including a large supermarket and the town of Camden. There were just the two of us so we had plenty of space. However the house could certainly accommodate a large family including older adolescents or teens who could have their own level, bedrooms, bathroom and a family room. We there from mid-August through mid-September and it was busy with tourists, though I suspect this year was not an ordinary one and tourism, in general, was down. However, these visitors were well-behaved, wore masks and kept appropriate distances. It was impressive to see compared to other places we have been this summer where visitors flagrantly disregard local mask mandates. We did not eat out in restaurants -- indoors or outdoors. The outdoor restaurants were limited in their ability to accommodate many so the waiting times were rather long and reservations were not being taken. However, we did order some dinners for curbside pickup from a number of extremely fine restaurants including an extraordinary one called The Hartstone Inn. Nonetheless, we were quite content to make lunch at home and then take it to a number of outdoor locations to sit and enjoy the stunning scenery. There is no shortage of that in the area. And just around a bend in the road is a seafood market with the most accommodating and lovely staff, fresh fish and prepared foods. The owners are affable and easy to communicate with.

Lovely Home in Beautiful Maine Setting

I stayed at this property with my family - two of us are in our twenties and our parents are in their fifties. Dale and Mary Ann's home is lovely. A great home in a beautiful setting as well. Walking distance to the Rockport waterfront and a short drive to Rockland and Camden as well. The home itself is well furnished, well-decorated and well stocked in ktichen and bathroom supplies, as well as a books! The hosts are very communicative and helpful as well. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Lovely Mid-Coast Maine Getaway

Mary Ann and Dale's Rockport home is exactly as described - my husband, sister-in-law, and I spent a week there 'working from home' and we were pleasantly surprised by how well the wifi supported 3 concurrent video calls. The home has plenty of space to spread-out, and we delighted in taking advantage of the porches for outside work and relaxing. The whole house was well appointed and had everything that we needed. We were able to walk to pick up carry-out food and fresh lobster. We also enjoyed walking all the way up to Camden. Acadia is an easy day-trip as well. Dale and Mary Ann were quickly responsive and gracious hosts. We would happily stay again.

How we love this house!

This is a beautiful property and we felt so at home. It is furnished and decorated not like a kitschy rental but a beautiful coastal home. There are endless places to sit and relax inside and out. The little gem is the river/brook at the back of the property—bring your camping hammock and attach it to two trees, and read or nap right near the babbling water. The owners were communicative and helpful. Our family was so happy on our weeklong getaway. The description and photos are accurate. A truly beautiful, special place.

About the host

Hosted by Mary Ann Schierholt

Host profile image
Dale and I love our Rockport home and spend as much time here as possible. We bought our house in 2018 and are lovingly and constantly upgrading, improving and putting our personalities into our home and gardens. Please don't hesitate to contact us for anything you want or need...and we'd love to hear from you for any reason.

Why they chose this property

Close to everything, yet set in a lovely, quiet location. Walking distance to a multitude of attractions, including gourmet restaurants (18 Central Oyster House, Nina June .02 mi, Ports of Italy .01 mi away), a fun cafe, bakery, galleries, library, book shop, fine wine and cheese shop, casual seafood cafe and store, gourmet butchery and fine foods with eatery, large sports clothing/gear/rental store, boating and swimming in the harbor, picnicking at the beach, etc., etc. Terrific for hiking, biking, long walks with spectacular scenery, Rockport Opera House for music and theater, Bay Chamber Concerts, Maine Media Workshops, or just a quiet nap ;-) Just a few blocks from Route 1, but quiet and serene.

What makes this property unique

A warm transitional design with lots of light and ocean breezes from large windows, yet snug and draft free in cold weather due to architecturally designed passive solar. Three above-ground levels with two gathering rooms, and 3 tvs allow for private space or gathering to enjoy together time, tv, games, etc. Large treetop front and back decking for relaxing and outdoor dining.
