Enjoy superb water frontage in this rustic and charming seaside cottage just a mile from the village and a short walk to Sand Beach.Rockmere has a kitchen that is well stocked with all kinds of gadgets from toasters to coffee makers. Rockmere is comfortable for 4-5 people and is perfect for a family that’s looking to detach and enjoy the more simple things in life. The cottage has a nice living room with a wood-burning fireplace and superb views of the ocean. Rockmere has a first floor bedroom with a full bed.

The second floor of the home has three bedrooms. The first bedroom has a full bed and a dresser. The second bedroom has two twin beds, a dresser and a closet. The third bedroom has a twin bed and a dresser.

Rockmere is just feet from the ocean and is situated just above the rugged Maine coast line. Rockmere is located on the same parcel of land as Elsmere, Rockmere’s sister cottage. The two cottages share a wonderfully sandy beach, which is only accessed by three properties. Launching kayaks, beachcombing and swimming are all a must when in residence at Rockmere.

A lovely week at Rockmere

We've been coming up to Deer Isle/Stonington each summer for more than 25 years, but had not stayed at Rockmere previously. We had a great week. The cabin is cozy though it worked for five adults and a small dog very well, well appointed, and the views are amazing! Sitting in the living room looking out on the water gave us the feeling on being ON the water. Really amazing. Even on a hot day just a few miles inland, everything was quite cool at Rockmere. We'll certainly return!

Rustic cottage in OUTSTANDING location

This location provides the absolute best that Stonington/Deer Isle has to offer. The cottage is perched on the typical pink granite ledges that the island is known for but also meet steps away from its own small sandy beach, which is quite unusual for the island. The view across Penobscot Bay toward North Haven and Vinal Haven is amazing. We saw lobster boats, schooners, and even an otter hopping along the rocks. There are other houses nearby but it's quiet. It's a 3 minute drive or 15 minute walk to the best-stocked grocery store on the island, and a short drive into Stonington for coffee at 44 North or dinner at Fin & Fern (those are our favorites). Easy drive to fun activities and also a great place to just hang out. The cottage itself is not fancy but provides all the basics--lots of clean towels, beach towels, kitchen stuff (including microwave, toaster, and coffee maker. Brand new stove! The living room is large, comfy, and lovely with many windows to open for a fresh sea breeze. Bedrooms are a tad small, and since we came with four adults, it might have been nice to have a second real bathroom. Do be warned that stairs to the second floor are steep and narrow. Otherwise, this was a great choice for us.

CANCELLATION POLICY
All cancellations must be in writing and received by Agent. Cancellations may only be made between the date that a reservation deposit is received and a date determined to be 45 days prior to the tenants scheduled arrival date. Cancelations within 45 days of arrival will not result in a refund in whole or part of rental monies received. If a cancellation is made prior to 45 days of arrival, the Agent shall, as an accommodation to the Tenant, make an effort to re-rent the property at the published rate for the rental term reserved. No refund of rents paid will be made until the canceled period is re-rented and confirmed. If the canceled period is re-rented, any rent and taxes paid will be refunded less a $100 administrative fee. If the re-rental amount is less than the published rate, any difference in rental rate remains the sole obligation of the tenant. If the unit is not re-rented, all rents paid, processing fees and taxes shall be forfeited as damages. This cancellation policy is strictly followed. Tenants are encouraged to purchase travel insurance for all vacations to cover many situations that may arise that might cause one to cancel vacation plans. There are many independent insurance providers available to tenants.
I understand that the insurance company holds this policy and that The Island Agency does not determine eligibility of claims.
