Cottage on Robert’s Harbor

Charming Waterfront A-Frame Cottage on Robert’s Harbor

Overview

This charming waterfront vacation rental cottage on Robert’s Harbor on the southeast of Vinalhaven features an open floor plan of the kitchen, dining area and living room extends out through two large sliding glass doors onto the spacious deck that overlooks Robert’s Harbor, Brimstone Island and beyond to where the sun rises. The kitchen is well equipped with glassware and cups creatively displayed on shelves in the sloping roofline. There is a double bed in the cozy room on the first floor and two twin beds up in the loft. It’s a nice place to awaken and watch the sunrise over the ocean. A full bath on the first floor has a stall shower and shares the space with a washing machine.

There is usually a nice breeze off the water to line dry your laundry, leaving your clothes and linens with the lofty fragrance of the sea. A mooring can be made available for those of you who may bring a boat. It’s just a short walk down to the shoreline where you can walk along the pebbly beach gathering sea glass, shells and water-smoothed stones. Perhaps you would like to add a shell or pretty stone to the collections started by previous guests. Or see if you can find one of our lucky stones with a stripe in it!

Retreat on Calderwood Neck

Quiet Waterfront Retreat on Calderwood Neck

Overview

This recently renovated vacation rental cottage on the Calderwood Neck waterfront on upper Vinalhaven Island had its roof raised, giving it three bedrooms and another full bath. This home is simply furnished fitting in well with the serenity of its location on a tidal inlet off of Mill River. It’s a great place to launch kayaks and paddle down to Mill River and enjoy the tranquil waters (just don’t get caught by the ebbing tide, then you’ll have to haul out at the Carrying Place Bridge, just a fraction of a mile down the road from the house).

The Cottage

This vacation rental  cottage has a huge granite fireplace in the living room to get cozy next to with your sweetheart or your kids. The new kitchen has all the modern amenities including a dishwasher and beautiful pink, white, and black granite counter tops. Also on the first floor, there is a bedroom with a double bed as well as a full bath with stall shower.

Upstairs there are two bedrooms, one with a queen size bed that overlooks the stream, the other with two twin beds. There is also a small loft above the living room that could accommodate a kid or two in sleeping bags. There is also another full bath with stall shower. Off the living room is a deck that offers a great view of the stream and connecting to it and off the dining area, is a screened in porch. There is a futon in the living room for an extra guest.

Farmhouse on Granite Island

Waterfront Farmhouse on Granite Island

Overview

The panoramic view of Hurricane Sound from the point of land this vacation rental house sits on is unbelievable! You can watch the daily lobstering up close, experience spectacular sunsets, relax on or explore the granite shoreline, and observe the sometimes quickly changing weather come in over the water.

The original house has pretty much been left intact, with some convenient modern amenities added, like indoor plumbing, modern kitchen appliances, and clothes dryer, but the old furnishings make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. Whatever the house may lack in modern comforts, the location will help you overlook them. You’ll find yourself telling time by the ferry and tides rather than the clock on the lower right hand corner of your computer monitor.

The house is also just a short walk away from The Basin Trust Preserve, a privately owned property where you are invited to walk the trails and enjoy the tranquility of The Basin and its tidal falls. There is also a private sandy beach, a great spot for launching kayaks, digging mussels, or simply relaxing in the sun.

Sleeps: 9 guests in 5 bedrooms: 4 double beds and 1 twin

July & August: $1,700/week

Granite Island Cottage

Waterfront Granite Island Cottage

Overview

This one-bedroom vacation rental cottage with sleeping loft is a cozy and delightful retreat. So close to the waterfront, you could almost dangle your feet in the water during a seriously high moon tide. With spectacular views of Hurricane Sound and the surrounding islands, this quiet location is a great place for watching the tides turn, sunsets, seals, and eagles. You can also watch the lobstering activities up close and personal just off the smooth granite shoreline, or grab a blanket, pillow, and good book and relax by the sea. It offers easy access for kayaks as well.

The cozy wooded interior, with open kitchen, living, and eating area, has lots of windows looking out over the water. There is one bedroom on the main floor with a double bed. Up the ladder in the sleeping loft are two twin beds. The living room has two built-in sofas that will accommodate two additional guests. There is a full bath off the main living area, as well as an outhouse for those in need when the other is occupied. There is a granite fireplace to cozy up to with a glass of wine and your sweetheart, or snuggle with your kids in their jammies for a bedtime story.

The well—which has been infiltrated with salt water—can be showered in, but you’ll need to buy drinking water

Home on Pease Cove

Waterfront Home on Pease Cove, Dyer’s Island

Overview

The continuing renovations on this sunny, waterfront vacation rental property on Pease Cove on Dyer’s Island, a small extension on the west side of Vinalhaven, have made it even more of a magical gem that you’ll never want to leave. It sits on two acres on the water looking southwest, down Hurricane Sound to Hurricane Island, where the tide change uncovers acres of tide pools filled with shells, colored glass and other treasures from the sea. The large lawn area and new cedar deck waits for kites, Frisbees or a peaceful nap by the sea as you watch the boats go by.

The waterfront has large, water rounded granite flows to sit on or explore; a great place to launch a kayak or canoe. There is a nice deck out front as well bordered with lots of native flowers and a small, private courtyard surrounded by the house, but open to the water. You can pick a pail full of fresh berries for your cereal or muffins in season. The cove is a haven for herons, fish hawks diving into the sea, bald eagles and a large variety of shore birds.

The Home

The eat-in kitchen is bright and cheery. The dining room is in the old, 1865 original part of the house. There is a new addition that has a master bedroom with a king size bed and a lofty living room with comfy furniture and a great view of the water out 2 large picture windows and sliding glass door. A hammock hangs from the ceiling for lazy afternoon snoozes and snuggles. There is another small bedroom on the first floor with a double iron bed, and two rooms upstairs, one with 2 twin beds and one with a king. The larger of the two upstairs rooms has two skylights for lots of added sunshine, but they can be shaded for those who want to sleep late in the morning.

Off the kitchen is a mudroom that accesses the deck and also leads into a small sunroom with wicker furniture; a nice place to sit and read or have your morning coffee. Beyond the sunroom is an attached boat house that has been converted to a summer bedroom with a double futon. It could also be used for a studio or for those of you, who just CAN’T leave work at home, could be used for your vacation office space.

Luxury Cabin on the Thorofare

Luxury Waterfront Cabin on the Thorofare

Overview

This cottage offers the best of both worlds for those who enjoy camping and like the comforts generally not associated with camping, like indoor plumbing and comfortable beds! It’s life, simplified. Located on the end of a long dirt driveway on the Thorofare, north of Vinalhaven island, this vacation rental house is very private and tranquil. The wood-paneled interior gives the place a warm, campy feel, and the amenities take the work out of camping. The great room on the first floor with kitchen, dining area, and living room has a wall of sliding glass doors offering a view that is nothing less than spectacular! The Thorofare passes right before the property, with a small island just off in front of the property. The view, on a clear day, looks over the Penobscot Bay to “Where the Mountains meet the Sea” in Camden on the mainland. The sunsets are indescribable. Bring your camera and your paints, lots of film and lots of paper; the scene changes before your eyes and rarely will you be disappointed.

The Cabin

The house has one bedroom on the main floor (with two twin beds) and another bedroom just a breezeway away (with a queen bed)—a most private get-away. There is also a loft with queen and full mattresses that children will love. A monitor heater will chase away the chill on foggy mornings, and the fireplace/woodstove is a great place to cozy up to in the evening with a nice glass of wine and the love of your life.

A pathway takes you down to the water’s edge where there is a dock and mooring available if you choose to arrive by boat. Like the rest of the Maine coast, there are rocks under the water, so approach carefully and heed the owner’s landmarks and headings. This property will delight the senses and restore your mind and soul. The house has Wi-Fi.
