WELCOME TO OWLS HEAD
Discover the quiet beauty of Owls Head from this charming oceanfront cottage, a peaceful retreat tucked into one of Midcoast Maine's most scenic corners. This is the kind of place where mornings start slow with coffee in hand, afternoons drift by on the water's edge, and evenings end with the sound of the tide. Whether you are traveling as a couple or bringing along one or two kids, this cottage was made for the kind of trip you remember long after you head home.
THE SPACE
The cottage comfortably sleeps a couple or a small family. A restful queen bedroom anchors the home, while the living room offers additional sofa sleeping for flexibility. Up in the loft, you will find four twin beds, a fun and magical space that kids absolutely love. Please note the loft is best suited for older children rather than small kids, given the open layout.
It is a thoughtfully designed footprint that feels cozy without ever feeling cramped, with plenty of room to spread out, gather, and relax together.
EVERY AMENITY, READY FOR YOU
We believe a great stay comes down to the details, so the cottage comes fully equipped: A fully stocked kitchen with everything you need to cook a real meal, from a quick breakfast to a full lobster dinner after a trip to the local market. Super fast Wi-Fi throughout, ideal for streaming, planning your days, or staying connected when you need to. Smart TVs with DirecTV channels, perfect for an easy rainy day in or a relaxed evening after exploring. Plenty of comfortable seating, including chairs positioned to take in the view. Binoculars on hand for watching the island, the boats, and the wildlife that makes this stretch of coast so special.
WHEN THE TIDE GOES OUT
This is what sets the cottage apart. When the tide goes out, a path opens across the flats and you can take a short walk straight out to Treasure Island. It is the kind of simple, unforgettable adventure that delights kids and adults alike, exploring the shoreline, poking around the rocks, and watching the bay reveal itself twice a day. Grab the binoculars, time the tide, and make the walk a daily ritual of your stay.
THE LOCATION
Owls Head sits in the heart of Midcoast Maine, surrounded by working harbors, rocky coastline, and small town charm. You are minutes from the iconic Owls Head Light, with its postcard views of Penobscot Bay, and a short drive from downtown Rockland, where you will find galleries, restaurants, the famous Farnsworth Art Museum, and a busy harbor full of windjammers. A little farther up the coast, the beloved village of Camden offers its picture perfect harbor, the hiking trails and sweeping summit views of Camfden Hills State Park, and charming shops and dining that make it one of Maine's most cherished destinations. Spend your days hiking the shore, browsing local shops, sampling fresh Maine seafood, or simply settling into the slower pace that keeps visitors coming back year after year.
PERFECT FOR
A couple looking for a quiet coastal escape. A small family with one or two kids ready for adventure. Anyone who wants the genuine warmth, simplicity, and natural beauty of the real Maine coast.
Come fall in love with Owls Head and the timeless magic of coastal Maine. We cannot wait to host you.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine and an ironing board.
