'Ebb and Flow' a light and airy seaside get-away at Crescent Beach
About this cottage rental
Situated in Owls Head, this charming cottage for $125 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. Relaxing and serene, Ebb and Flow is a lovely vacation home located just a short walk from sandy Crescent Beach. (It is a 2 minute drive or an 8 minute walk). Vintage decor and special touches enhance the cottage charm of this comfy and cozy retreat. The master bedroom features a queen-sized antique iron bed and private bath. The full bedroom has a white vintage cottage style bed and the twin bedroom features wicker furniture. Each bedroom enjoys a beautiful ocean view. Plenty of windows provide natural light and offer cool sea breezes. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to cook a fabulous lobster dinner right down to the bibs. There is all new kitchenware including all-clad cookware and corelle dishes. The country kitchen features an antique hutch and farm table. Off the back deck is a patio with picnic table and gas grille for cook outs. There is a large, private yard with a beautiful lawn for kids to play in and lawn chairs in case you want to relax under a tree and read. In the morning, grab a cup of coffee and sit on the front porch and watch the sun rise over Penobscot Bay or walk down to Crescent Beach and greet the day. At the end of a full day of playing in the sun and enjoying all of the activities the area has to offer, fall asleep to the sound of waves lapping at the shore or maybe the distant echo of the fog horn. If you have a rainy day, don't fear - the cottage is fully stocked with rainy day entertainment such as games and cards, a full bookcase, high-speed wireless, TV with cable and a DVD player and lots of family-friendly movies. Crescent Beach is ideally situated for exploring Owls Head and the mid-coast area. Some of the highlights of Owls Head include the renowned Transportation Museum, Knox County Airport (Cape Air flies into Owls Head from Boston and other regional locations and car rentals are offered at the airport, too), the quaint Owls Head General Store (home of the award-winning 'Best Burger in Maine') and nearby Owls Head State Park which features the popular Owls Head Lighthouse. Lucia Beach is located a few minutes away from the house by car in Birch Point State Park and offers a pristine beach, picnic facilities and hiking trails. Owls Head is only 10 minutes away from Rockland. Rockland's busy harbor is the second largest in Maine and is the setting for the Samoset resort. Rockland offers many amenities including: hospital, restaurants and shops, antiques, the Farnsworth Museum, the Sail, Power and Steam Museum, art galleries, two movie theaters including the historic Strand Theatre, and many recreational, tourist and harbor activities. Ferries leave 6 times a day from Rockland for the islands of North Haven and Vinalhaven. Twenty minutes north is the scenic town of Camden. Crescent Beach, when the tide is out a bit, is a lovely, safe, family-friendly sandy beach. Perfect for building sand-castles, beach combing for seashells and sea glass and of course, swimming. The gentle waves are safe for children to play in and offer hours of summer fun. Keywords: Cottage, Ocean View, Crescent Beach, Family Friendly, Seaside

Peaceful home with water views. Nice beach at the end of the street. Tons of activities and a large array of restaurants and cute shops in the area. We visited Monhegan Island, Boothbay Botanical Gardens, Transportation Museum and Rockland and Owls Head Light Houses. Even walked to the Owls Head Light House. Owners were very helpful and attentive.

The Ebb & Flow Cottage is a wonderful retreat perfectly located across from the ocean in beautiful Owl's Head. The cottage is very comfortable and clean with a very fresh and open feel. We enjoyed sitting on the front deck which has a great view of the water. Crescent Beach is a very short walk from the property and it's fun to go at low tide. We found everything we needed in the cottage as far as kitchen items, etc. The weather was perfect.. sunny days and cool temperatures. Overall, it's a great place to stay in the Owl's Head/Rockland area.

An exceptionally smooth experience from start to finish. The property was as expected from the pictures and description. It was in a perfect location. We were familiar with the area because we had stayed a few times in a property down the road. The beds were extremely comfortable and there was nothing that we needed. We really appreciated the detailed information provided by the hosts. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for peace and tranquility in Maine. We were all very glad that I found this property. Thank you for making our stay so relaxing.

This our second year at this beautiful cottage and it has quickly become a solid family tradition. The house is lovely - great layout, everything you could want, a beautiful view of the water across the street. Crescent Beach is a quick walk and Rockland just about 10 minutes in the car. Kathy and Walt are gracious and responsive hosts. We can't wait to come back!

Can’t say enough great things about Ebb and Flow, and Kathy, the owner. The pictures truly do not do the place justice. So cozy and comfortable, and we loved relaxing on the deck and in the front yard, watching the changing of the tides and the Fall leaves. And the rest we got on that bed and those pillows was heavenly. The home is wonderfully located to be able to enjoy the delights of the region, and we loved how close it was to Crescent Beach. And Kathy’s a gem. She surprised us with a very generous gift to celebrate our recent engagement, she (very non-intrusively) reached out to check on us to make sure that we were comfortable and had everything we needed, and she gave us some great restaurant recommendations. We highly recommend Ebb and Flow, and our thanks to Kathy for her gracious spirit.

Comfortable cottage
The Ebb and Flow was just what we needed. It’s a clean, comfortable, tastefully decorated place on a quiet street close to necessities in Owls Head and Rockland. It was a good location for exploring up and down Mid-coast Maine. Although we didn’t meet in person, Kathy was pleasant and responsive. We would definitely stay there again.

Perfect relaxing beach getaway
Ebb and Flow is a wonderful little place. The location cannot be better - easy walk to the beach and a beautiful water view - all within a few minutes' drive to Rockland! The cottage layout is convenient and comfortable. Nothing is lacking from a well-equipped kitchen to the perfect assortment of books. Kathy was super-helpful and responsive to the few questions we had. Highly recommended!

This was our 2nd stay at the Ebb & Flow & everything was just as nice as before: beautifully decorated, very clean, plenty of paper products, well-stocked kitchen, etc. Kathy kept in touch, as needed, to make sure we had no questions. We also love the Owls Head area. There are nice places to walk, a beach nearby, lots of wildflowers. And it's all very close to Rockland with our favorite eatery: the Home Kitchen Cafe. Thanks to Kathy & Walt for making our time in the area so pleasant.

Just Heaven
We rented this charming cottage the third week in October. We looked online for two days before finding it. The owners are responsive and extremely generous. Everything about this home is excellent. It is clean, organized, and has absolutely everything you might need. It's appointed with quality bedding and towels. It's decorated beautifully and has great art work. The yard is beautiful and the view is too. It's in a nice, quiet neighborhood. There are all kinds of things close by to do - museums, state parks, restaurants, boat trips. If you don't mind driving 90 miles, you can visit Accadia while driving through all sorts of interesting towns and over the fantastic Penobscot Narrows Bridge. We were so comfortable in this lovely home. It was very hard to leave. Thank you Kathy and Walt for a glorious week in Maine and for helping us celebrate our 50th!

Spectacular Ebb and Flow!!
We loved every minute of our stay at Ebb and Flow. The house was the perfect venue for us and perfectly placed. It is right across the street from the water that provided a great sunshine view of the scene. Plus it was centrally located to many of the things we enjoy doing. We will definitely return to this house!

Beautiful!
This cottage is absolutely adorable! Very relaxing and peaceful, we loved every minute of our week here! This was our first time staying in this cottage but hopefully not our last. We were quite busy most days, taking day trips out and about exploring the mid-coast a wee bit, but coming 'home' to relax in the evening soon turned into our favorite part of the day. We were fortunate to have a full moon by midweek and watching it rise over the water was breathtaking. Thank you for sharing your home with us, Kathy & Walt!

Heaven on Earth
My husband and I spent dream holidays in a ideally located house that provides everything you need to have the most comfortable stay
It's more than fortunate that Kathy and Walt share this home with foreigners/visitors
I would come back anytime. Owls Head also providing enought interesting attractions for days that are not ideal to spend outside. In the nearby town Rockland you can find food at your taste and your budget.
We left part of our hearts in this area and will return for sure and stay once again at this lovely house that is located in a very quiet and friendly neighbourhood
Thank you for this opportunity

Ebb and Flow is a very charming home❤️
Ebb and Flow was such a charming home. There was nothing that Kathy and Walt didn’t think of for your every need.
We were within 2 hours of many sites and towns that were on our list to visit, and 20 minutes to fresh seafood dinners and the Breakwater winery.
I highly recommend Ebb and Flow

Great location. The house is welcoming, clean, comfortable and private. The owner took great care in decorating the house and making it feel like home. She even checked on us to confirm that we were comfortable and any additional needs. The house was well appointed and met and exceeded our expectations. A nice location to explore other areas of Maine. Nice walk to beach. Don't miss the hamburgers at the General Store just around the corner or the wine from the local vineyards. I would love to return for another week next year

We had a fantastic time with our 4 year old daughter at Ebb & Flow Cottage. It is nicely decorated, clean and was well stocked with everything we needed and then some. The owners were responsive and kind. They even called to check-in to make sure we were all set. We spent every afternoon on quiet and relaxing Crescent Beach. Our daughter enjoyed exploring the beach and we enjoyed being able to give her a little bit more independence than usual as the beach at low tide is super-calm and wide with only a small number of people enjoying it. We brought our bikes making the trip to the beach maybe 2 minutes. We also were pleased with Birch Point State park and Owls Head State Park (5 minute drives). We enjoyed the quiet the cottage provided with the added bonus of easy access to Rockland, Rockport and Camden for restaurants, shopping and entertainment. We greatly enjoyed our stay at the cottage and greatly enjoyed the area. We would definitely come back again!
