The house was spotless and well located to restaurants and museums in downtown. The deck is great for gathering. Jimmy, the property manager, was responsive and very easy and pleasant to work with. And coastal Maine is beautiful!

The Rockland home was spotless and we were welcomed with a note and flowers from the host and hostess. The refrigerator was stocked with drinks that the we had requested. The host was available to answer any questions and provided us with information about restaurants and places to visit. The house is located within walking distance to the harbor and town. I highly recomend a vist to Rockland and this welcoming home.

The house is immaculate. Grounds are beautifully landscaped and maintained. Easy walking distance to downtown, harbour and all amenities.
There are stairs, which we are used to, but I mention it as some may have mobility issues. The house is 19th century, and it’s bones reflect this. It has been updated with modern touches, without destroying its essential character.

Although the location of this home was ideal to downtown, wharf, and restaurants, it’s in a very busy street which is noticeable when in the home. We tried to sleep with the windows open but the traffic was too loud so we had to resort to putting on the AC which was not ideal. The large trees that shield the front of the house also don’t allow light in the front of the house causing it to be dark and uninviting.
I think the owners should be upfront in the description of the home.
With that said, the home was comfortable and the few requests that we had during our stay were responded to quickly.
Great places to bike and walk to restaurants, downtown, wharf and museums.

We enjoyed staying in this home - updated and decorated lovely, fairly close to downtown Rockland, and a great place to stage our adventures in the area. Extremely clean and thoughtfully stocked - it's a great getaway with a beautiful deck for some chilling out time. The owners were very responsive to our needs. While they weren't an issue for us, the stairs to the second floor are steep and could be a problem for anyone with mobility issues. Also, while we were there, the Wifi signal was next to nothing, so if you truly need a strong signal for work purposes (I know, you're supposed to be on vacation) - make sure you won't be disappointed with this. Otherwise, it's a special little home and a wonderful place to enjoy all that Rockland has to offer. Thanks, Jimmy & Xiao!

We had a lovely family vacation at this property. The house had everything we needed for days when we wanted to stay put….downtown was an easy 15 minute walk and lots to explore when we preferred to go out… a short drive to two state parks and only an hour to Boothbay to play at the Coastal Botanical Gardens. Although James and Xiao were easy to contact by text…Little contact was needed …Jimmy answered questions quickly…like any where right now we needed to be flexible with restaurants…we planned ahead …ate early…ordered take out in advance…and if the crowds were too large or staff overwhelmed we just ate in

Really enjoyed our stay here. Started with a nice touch of wine and beer in the chiller. Plenty of room for couple with children and grandparents, large deck area for extra space. Place was immaculate with some great Maine art touches. Stairs a little tight, but as you would expect from an 1800's house. Ideal for exploring Rockland via the coastal path, a 20 minute walk to town. Would thoroughly recommend this property.

The house was beautifully done with all the things you could want for a peaceful stay in Rockland. Wonderful gas stove in the kitchen and great deck outside with a fire pit. You can easily walk to town, get to the public boat landing, and drive to other great nearby locations.

I grew up in the neighboring town and visit a few times every year so I know the area quite well. I chose this place because I had a couple of friends joining me in my annual summer visit back home. The location and accommodations were perfect. The house (with deck and fireplace) was quiet and relaxing for the evenings we stayed in and for the nights we wanted to go out we were only a short walk from everything you'd ever need or want — Primo's, Jess's Fish Market, Southend Grocery, meat market, a restaurant on the peer, public landing with water access, and a number of dining establishments and museums in downtown Rockland.
The hosts, James and Xiao, were friendly and readily available with any questions we had. The place felt much more like a home than a rental. It was very well furnished. and very comfortable. 5 stars and would highly recommend.

Home was immaculate, very clean and felt just like home. Plenty of extra touches, i.e. fresh flowers, fruit basket, and bottles of wine. Deck was great with clean grill and pads for furniture. Owners live close by and were quickly available for any questions or concerns. I would definitely stay here again!!!

This was a beautiful house, with clean and comfortable accommodations. The home owners were very generous and provided all the amenities and more. We even got a Lobster night on the house, what a pleasant surprise. The owners responded to our questions quickly. They were very gracious and it was evident they took pride in their home.
The house is located on Rt 1, but there was quick access just off the main road and we were able to walk and bike to town without any trouble, along the Rockland Harbor Trail. The views were lovely, right along the harbor. On Thursday we stumbled upon the Farmers Market, with live music and plenty of home grown veggies/food. We ate at the Rockland Cafe, Home Kitchen Cafe and the Brass Compass, which were all close by and all with good food and service. The Farnsworth Museum is definitely with a visit.
We highly recommend this property and would definitely rent it again in the future.
