About the host

Hosted by Susan Lockery

Host profile image
My husband, Mat, and I met about 15 years ago while attending law school in Boston and we currently live and work in Connecticut. We've always dreamed of owning a vacation home in Maine and so we purchased the Sea Shell Cottage in 2014.

Why they chose this property

When we were looking for a vacation home we wanted to be within walking distance of the cultural activities that Rockland has to offer visitors. There are restaurants, shops, art galleries and museums all within a very short walk from the Sea Shell Cottage.

Rockland's South End is truly a special place to visit. Guests can enjoy Sandy Beach (1-2 blocks from the Sea Shell Cottage) or take a stroll on the Boardwalk along Rockland Harbor...also just a couple blocks from the Cottage.

What makes this property unique

The Sea Shell Cottage is not just an ordinary rental. Since we purchased the property, we have worked to make this a vacation place that our guests can truly enjoy! The home has been decorated in seaside decor with a unique contemporary style. The Sea Shell Cottage's floor plan can accommodate large families, or as little as 1 or 2 guests. The home has an inviting coastal ambiance that is sure to remind guests that the sea is very close by!
