Stayed here for a birthday celebration for my wife. The property is so good it was almost hard to go out and do other things. Highly recommended.

Perfect for our extended family
The common rooms were very spacious. Kitchen was well-equipped.
Three distinct bedroom areas made it perfect for our group.
Views were wonderful. Water access is limited at low tides.
Very private and quiet location.

Beautiful Home and Memorable Time Together
We were two families vacationing together. Ten adults. We had a great time. We have rented many beautiful homes in Maine before but this was the first one where all the pictures portrayed the home exactly as it is. We were very relieved to find that. The rooms were spacious and had amazing views. The house was fully stocked with supplies. The kitchen and grill were great for our lobster cook-out and other meals. We also loved the location. It was a great spot to walk the dogs and hang out by the water. The only disappointment was not being able to use the kayaks we rented because there isn't a clear launch point. The large rocks made it inaccessible and there isn't a dock. Next time, we will rent bikes instead! Thank you. We plan to return!
Response from VrboOwner on 15 August 2026
Ann we are pleased to hear that this met all the needs for both families. The location and views are among the best for sure. Lobster cook-out sounds like you embraced our Maine culinary treat(s). Also glad to hear that your four-legged family members joined you and had a good yard to walk around in. See you next time!
This place was the most serene and peaceful vacation house we have ever had. The location and view are exceptional. The furniture and decor is unparalleled. We wanted to move in. It is beautiful inside and out. Accommodated our large party so comfortably. The pics on the website do not do it justice. We plan to come back every year. Absolute paradise and perfection.

This is a great location for a large family getaway/reunion. Lots of space for families to spread out. Plenty of very comfortable beds. Impressive artwork throughout the house. Quiet neighborhood to take long walks along wood roads and paths. Great grill and lobster pot on deck overlooking Tenant's Harbor. The view.

We stayed at this waterfront property in Maine for five days with our family and had a wonderful overall experience. The home is stunning and exactly as advertised, with incredible ocean views and a peaceful, remote setting that made it easy to truly relax. Being right on the water was a highlight, and the house itself is charming, comfortable, and well laid out.There are two things future guests should be aware of. The electrical system in the kitchen is a bit sensitive, and using all the lights at once sometimes caused the power to trip, requiring a reset at the breaker. Also, the water has a strong sulfur smell (similar to rotten eggs), likely due to the well/septic system, which was noticeable when using sinks and showers.Aside from these points, we really enjoyed our stay and would still recommend this property to anyone looking for a beautiful, quiet oceanfront getaway.

Thank you for sharing, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Chimerique. We have since changed the anode in the hot water heater and had an electrician remedy the lights tripping the breaker. We hope you will visit again for a perfect visit.

What a perfect family vacation we had in Chimerique on the Water! The house was so comfortable, very clean, great layout, amazing views, well equipped kitchen. The deck was just perfect for meals, lounging , relaxing etc. The setting is absolutely gorgeous! The views are breathtakingly beautiful! It is so private too. the little path to the rocky beach is great and the are flat rocks that are great for hanging outand fit beach chairs. Access to the water is a little slippery, but it's doable. We rented kayaks and it worked well. it was so fun kayaking around the little islands! We all love the location of tenants harbor with being so close to Port Clyde and their cute cafes and eateries. Also Rockland is not far and also Thomaston - both offer great bakeries and eateries too. We would go back in a heart beat! And dealing with Tides to Pines was pleasant - super responsive and helpful! We have rented in Maine many times, and this house is now one of our favorites !

Wow! Beautiful home with all of the modern conveniences but lovely collection of older furnishings and books so interesting to look at! Wonderful comfortable beds and high end bathrooms. Enormous rear deck to spend time relaxing. Private setting with lovely grounds to explore in addition to the rocky shoreline. This home was such a pleasure. We felt silly that there were only four of us! So glad i chose to spend a bit more for location, privacy and amenities. Kitchen has ample appliances and cookware, tons of dishes. Had rare opportunity to meet the owner and it was a pleasure hearing stories of artwork and furniture in the home. Spotless interior and such a private setting. Never wanted to leave the grounds! Will definitely return. Watching the small boats going in and out of harbor, seeing the sunrises, listening to loons, pup getting to run in the yard, soaking in the jacuzzi tub, cuddling on cozy couch, i could go on and on! Short drive to wonderful Rockland for numerous amenities.
