Perfect Home Base

This was our second year staying here, and we couldn’t be happier! The locations is quick and easy to anything you want to do in Rockland, and has a beautiful view out the back deck if all you want to do is relax with a couch made for napping.

A Slice of Heaven

This was our second year enjoying this gorgeous home at the head of the bay. With a spacious deck and lawn for, beautiful view, and well-appointed but minimal interior (so you have everything you need, but a sense of calm pervades), this has been our favorite place to gather as a family, let cousins play and find shells, rocks, and seaglass. We arrived to a spotless, airy, dream home, and soaked in the relaxing atmosphere all week. The location is just a few minutes from all that Owl’s Head and Rockland has to offer. It’s a coastal-Maine-lover’s dream!

Perfect Mid-Coast Stay

This house is just an absolute perfect location for exploring the Rockland area. We stayed three weeks and the house never felt small or uncomfortable. The yard was wonderful for the kiddos, and we loved the couch and the views of the Rockland light. We would absolutely go back!

New Favorite Place

This is our 2nd year renting at this beautiful location. We love everything about it-especially walking when the tide is out. It is peaceful and relaxing. And we can bring our lab who loves to swim. We will return again next year!

Stunning at every angle!

I’ve never stayed in a spot and felt more at home with the decor and surroundings than at Head of Bay. The view from every window is lovely - the water, the gardens, the woods…the beds were comfy, house super well stocked. Seriously, I could see myself living here. The shops, galleries and restaurants in town were perfect. Small town feel but not sleepy. Just lovely, lovely, lovely!

A week in Maine

This was our first trip to this part of the US and we certainly weren’t disappointed! Great and very well equipped house in a great location with easy access to local amenities and all that coastal Maine has to offer. Very much enjoyed the outdoor space and access to the shore. Would definitely recommend and hope to return some day soon!

Beautiful, relaxing stay in Owl's Head

We absolutely loved this house and it's incredible view, with access to a small pebbly beach. The house was great, with a well-equipped kitchen and fast wifi and a nice big table where the whole family could eat and play games comfortably. The property was well maintained, and Jennifer was really responsive to any issues that came up. We hope to be back soon!

Airy, clean, and modern with gorgeous ocean view

Airy, clean & modern with lovely vintage decor touches throughout. Beautiful ocean views. Some street noise can be heard but the peaceful and private, nicely landscaped back lawn, large deck, really nice deck furniture & ocean views more than make up for that. A gem we’d love to come back to next summer. 10/10

Great beach exploring

We had a great time exploring the beach at low tide. Playing catch with three little girls and a dog, lots of outdoor space for them to play. Beautiful clean house with everything you could need. The best place to walk the shore and collect sea glass! You even have ping pong in the basement. Close to many hiking areas, light houses, museums , antique shops, lots of activities and private shoreline. Very friendly and easy to reach. I would recommend this house for your vacation

Maine

The house was VERY nice and clean had everything you would need. We could sit on deck see Rockland break water and sailboats! The owner Jen was easy to get ahold of and answered all questions! The manager Ann was delightful also answered all questions! We had lobster one night from Bert across the street and Ann came over to get trash so it wouldn’t smell! It was a wonderful week! The house w had plenty of room…

A delightful place, easily accessible and yet, entirely private. A lovely deck overlooking the bay with a gentle sloping yard down to the water - again, easily accessible. Peaceful, quite, located minutes from the lovely town of Rockland and within 15 minutes of Rockport and Camden. The house was as pictured and as promised. There were four of us (my wife and myself and my brother and his wife) and it was entirely spacious. There was a very nice 3rd BR that we did not use. The house was like the area - entirely delightful. Joe and Jacqui, Charlotte, NC

Great house and location!!!

The title says it all. We were close to everything… grocery stores, seafood markets, restaurants, shopping, beaches, hiking and walking trails, lighthouses, museums. We met Bert, the neighbor across the street who sells fresh lobsters. Jen, the owner, was welcoming and attentive, and Ann, who cares for the property, took great care of us. The house was beautiful! The view is amazing! We could see the Breakwater Lighthouse from the porch. We waded in the bay during high tide, and walked out as far as we could during low tide. I highly recommend this property!!!

Peaceful paradise

We have been staying in the mid coast Maine area for vacation over the last decade and our family agreed that this house in Owl’s Head was the best of all. Every detail has been considered for guests and the house is light-filled, immaculate and comfortable. The location is perfect- we saw so much wildlife, kayaked every day, and had fantastic meals just down the road in Rockland (Ada’s is our favorite). Jen is a very responsive and accommodating host. Can we give it 10 stars??

Peace & Quiet

Beautiful property and home that is very private. We brought our labs, which is always a bonus. They swam every day right in the backyard. The view is gorgeous and during low tide you can walk for at least 1/2 mile out to the ocean. House was clean and had everything we needed, many towels, beach chairs, kitchen was stocked, and grill and outside deck were awesome. Downtown Rockland is minutes away with shops and great restaurants. We absolutely loved it and plan on returning next summer!

Lovely Home on the Bay

The home was a nice blend of an old Maine cottage and a modern home. The deck has spectacular views of Rockland Harbor and the Breakwater and very comfy seating. It is close to downtown Rockland but still far enough away that you know you are in coastal Maine. We brought our kayaks and launched each day from the small beach on property near high tide. The cottage itself has a lovely downstairs open floor plan space with al the modern home amenities of cable, big screen TV, appliances, sectional couch and large dining room table. Lovely spot, lovely host and nice manager who was very helpful.

We had a very relaxing time in this spacious home on the coast. It is obvious the owner and the property manager care about their guests. We had two minor issues with the internet which were both resolved very quickly. This home is clean and very well stocked with dishes starter spices and a nice grill on the deck! There was even a tablecloth on the table on the spacious deck! So many fun activities less than 10-20 minutes away too! Many thanks!

What a view!

Water views fill this beautiful, light and air-filled home. The nice weather during Labor Day week was a great time to access low tide with our dog - head off the wonderful deck and walk down just past the back lawn. We loved the style of the home, white with beams and wooden planks throughout, no carpet, yay. Comfortable beds, super clean, tons of towels etc. A great home base to discover art, lighthouses, lobster dishes, Rockport, Camden, Monhegan island, and in-town Rockland, which had Friday art walk, Farnsworth, and some great dining, loved Claws for lobster, Primo for dining and live music, and In Good Company was our favorite. As others mentioned, the street noise can be loud, but the honking of the geese was a good balance :)
