A wonderful property. Not huge but a great size for 2 people! The view was terrific (saw seals we believe just beyond the sandbar at almost every tide opportunity in addition to the birds at the shore - the woodchuck and the squirrel at times in the backyard). Amenities were great - appliances, furnishing, wireless & TV. The hosts were wonderful, great communication and some hints on local options. Would wholeheartedly recommend this property.

Great stay in a lovely place.

A big thank you to Alex and Siobhan for a beautiful place to visit on our vacation to Maine. Was on my "bucket list" for years, and did not disappoint. The Loft turned out to be the perfect place for our eight day stay, with great views and the private beach was perfect for beachcombing. The loft had everything we needed, was very clean and tidy. Short drives for restaurants and sight seeing. We definitely recommend the loft.

First time to Maine

We had a nice vacation in Maine. The loft was clean and quiet with its own little beach. We don’t cook at home so we didn’t intend to on vacation as long as the coffee pot works I’m good. Plenty of places to eat close by. We also went to Bar Harbor and Boothbay. We would go back.

Great ocean views!

This property is just as advertised. We found it very clean and quiet. The ocean and beach area were great. A little tweaking of furniture allowed for great views. The only downside is the loveseat is not comfortable. Hosts were responsive. No issues at all. Recommend brining shampoo and body soap and coffee.

Maine Piece of Paradise

This was our second year at this property. Why? Because we love it. Everything is perfect here including the view, the beach access and the loft itself. It is close to town and all the points of interest. My only suggestion would be to put a better couch or loveseat in the living room.

Comfy Bed and convenient location

Most comfortable bed I ever slept in. Beautiful sunrise views from bedroom on the 2nd floor. The kitchen had everything we needed. It isn't really a place to hang out and look at the ocean since the view at porch level is partially obscured by shrubs, but it is a quick ride into Rockland and Camden. Remember to bring soap for the shower.

Little get away

This was the 2nd year we stayed up in Rockland and we rent this part of the house along with a bigger part to fit us all. This one bedroom is great for if you need decompressing time or need to get away for a little. The house is central to everything we wanted to do. So we could easily leave during the day and come back at night. The owners were very helpful and responsive when it came to question and checked in on us to see how things were going. 10-10 recommend if you plan on visiting the Rockland/Rockport area.

Beautiful, central location for enjoying Maine

Beautiful property near Camden, Maine!!!! The location was perfect for day trips all along Maine’s coast. Property was wonderful. Beautiful sunrises were seen every morning for the deck and the bedroom window. A relaxing haven. We slept better there then we have anywhere else. We did not notice any of the road noise mentioned in the other reviews. The property had everything we needed and it made for a great place to base our trips out of. Alex was a wonderful host and went out of his way to make sure our needs were met. If you are looking for a great place to stay to see most of Maine’s coast, don’t miss this jewel!!!! We will be back!

Good home base for exploring the area

Lovely spot a short drive from Rockland. Had everything we needed, and very friendly and pleasant host. Incredible ocean views from the upper level bedroom, though from the bed itself the view is really of the neighbor’s yard. The reason for four stars instead of five is that there wasn’t a very comfortable spot from which to take in the ocean view. The seating area downstairs is small and not very cozy, and since the deck is tiny, the siding obstructs the view when sitting outside. No big deal since we were mostly out and about, but I had hoped that we would have a nicer place to sit and take in the ocean on the tail ends of the day.

Alex is the best!

Thank you for being such gracious hosts! The loft was immaculately clean, and the mattress one of the most comfortable we’ve ever slept on. The view from the glorious wall of windows and the deck was breathtaking, and both sunset and sunrise were spectacular. Even though there was some road noise, we could still hear the waves, and the hosts did their best to help counteract the road noise by providing a noise machine (which we didn’t have to use) and an a/c unit so we didn’t have to sleep with the windows open. This loft is perfect for crashing in-between outings and eating out (just beware that most restaurants are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays). Thank you for providing a comfortable home base for all of our Maine exploring!
