We absolutely loved our stay in Rockland, Maine. I travel to Maine at least once a year and I don’t plan to stay anywhere else. The property was immaculate and well equipped. Great location with a water view and an amazing place to walk. Lin was the perfect host and I felt free to text her about anything. Anyone would fall in love with this property.

This is the most immaculate and thoughtful rental we have ever stayed in. Every detail was considered with Jin and Wayne got the property prepared including fresh flowers, milk and orange juice and phone chargers. In addition to a simply beautiful and spotless property with incredible views of the harbor, the outdoor gardens are so beautiful and lush. Jin was outdoor gardening and gave us wonderful restaurant recommendations that absolutely enhanced our trip. The midcoast area of Maine is so scenic and a relaxing place to explore and vacation. We would absolutely return to this gorgeous property.

We had a wonderful time staying in this property. I do not have much to add from the prior reviews! They have set it all. It is a great place, the host is incredibly thoughtful, the beds are amazingly comfortable, and the view from the bedroom window delightful. We could not have stayed at a better place.

This is a beautiful, clean and fully stocked home. It’s close to town and great restaurants. The beds are amazingly comfortable. We would stay again for sure. The communication with Jin was easy and the checkin seamless. I would highly recommend this property!

This house is perfect - owner Jin has thought of everything, no detail is left unattended. It is spotless, full of light, extremely well equipped and very convenient to a small swimming beach as well as downtown Rockland. It is beautifully decorated, and the bed was very comfortable. Fresh flowers in every room and some breakfast food were very thoughtful and appreciated touches. You can't go wrong in renting this house. Its a block from a restaurant that is convenient, has a nice view and some live music, but there are better downtown - Hills for seafood, Ada's for fantastic pasta, Clan Maclaren for wonderful lobster rolls and sandwiches. We also enjoyed Happy Clam and The Causeway restaurant in Tenants harbor. The Farnsworth and great galleries are a short walk away. The stairs are a bit steep but there is a powder room on the main level so you don't need to go up and down a lot. Lovely landscaping and nice Adirondack chairs for relaxing on the lawn.

We really enjoyed our stay in this house. The owners took the time to leave little touches to make us feel welcome. Fresh flowers, basic condiments and even ingredients for breakfast made us feel at home. So special! The house was very clean and fresh and the beds/sheets were so comfortable.
Just a heads up, both bedrooms are upstairs and the ascend is a little steep. I only mention it because I sometimes travel with a girlfriend who would have had a difficult time. My husband and I had no trouble but just wanted to mention it just in case there is someone in your group who might find it hard.
The location is close to the water and definitely walkable to town....about .7 miles. I am not sure if we will find ourselves in Rockland again but if we do, I would absolutely stay here again.

Salty Cape was just perfect - very clean and comfortable, with beautiful views and ocean air. It is a short walk to the ocean, and the light and views inside the home are great. The host was very responsive. A fantastic find!

The owner, Jin, took care of our every need! Well stocked with essentials and immaculate rooms. Cozy and warm during the storm and the perfect kitchen for preparing meals and having our daughter and family over. And Jin knows the area well so she is a wealth of information. We loved being able to walk into town and enjoy the excellent restaurants. Lovely surrounding views of the water from bedroom and kitchen. We will be back!!

Beautiful property with everything you need for a great stay! Every detail is perfection. The kitchen is fully stocked with all you need to make family meals. The front room is very cozy and bright. The beds are very comfortable and the views of Rockland Harbour are lovely. The hosts are so attentive and helpful, without being intrusive. We would love to visit again.

I was a little nervous about staying in a place with no ratings…BUT, the photos were amazing! I am so glad we took a chance, because we were rewarded with a five-star VRBO experience.
We arrived after dark, we were exhausted, we fell into bed and crashed. We woke up to the most beautiful view outside our bedroom window. I think we’d be hard pressed to find a better location. Ohhhh and their landscaping and veggie gardens were an added plus for this gardening junkie!
The inside of the house has been meticulously done, and we wanted for absolutely nothing while we were there. The kitchen was perfectly appointed, and we enjoyed cooking a couple of meals, and had everything we needed to do so. The bedrooms/bath had exceptional products that were not only functional, but so incredibly comfortable. The mattress was heavenly, and we called the shower a car wash…it was huge and luxurious. I also loved that the owners were obviously eco-conscious…it showed in the personal products and the towels/linens.
Jin and Wayne were wonderful hosts….from their initial directions to suggestions on local food/activities. Every question we had was answered quickly and they gave us some wonderful suggestions. (Hint: their suggestion of Primo for dinner was spot on with what my husband and I love in a restaurant.)
Maine was a bucket list vacation for this Texas couple, and we’re already planning on another trip. When we do, we definitely know where we will be staying. :-)
