This charming, waterfront cottage has all the comforts of home, fully furnished with a mix of nautical and antique furnishings. Sit back, relax and enjoy the spectacular views of Rockland Harbor and The Breakwater Lighthouse. Walking distance to Rockland where they hold the annual Lobster Festival, North Atlantic Blues Festival & Maine Boats and Harbors Show.
Enjoy the open porch overlooking the harbor. Enjoy the neighboring beach, which is a great spot to launch a kayak from. Sit on the porch in the evening and watch the sun's reflection off the Breakwater Lighthouse. Short walk to downtown Rockland, museums, cinema, schooners, shopping, and fabulous restaurants.
BEACH CLASSIFICATION: We have categorized this property as having or being near a sandy beach. More specifically for this property - there is a pea-sized / pebbly beach about 200 feet wide to the left of the cottage. Not necessarily a "swimming beach" - this is a good beach for sitting and relaxing in folding chairs or for launching kayaks. There is not an actual fine sandy beach at this property, but the beach itself is better than most in the area and that is why we have classified it as being "on" a sandy beach. Most guests will be more interested in going to the beaches located a 2 miles further away in Owls Head such as Crescent Beach, Crocketts Beach, or Birch Point Beach State Park.
NEED EXTRA ROOM? Just a short distance away, is a quaint comfortable guest suite, which can accommodate another couple (2 guests), while remaining close to the rest of the group. Click HERE to visit the Owls Head Guest Suite property page.

Always a good experience with On the Water in Maine. Had a (minor) problem with the oven. You responded in record time. That shows your attentiveness to renter's needs.

WE VERY MUCH ENJOYED OUR STAY AT SEASIDE. THE UNOBSTRUCTED VIEW TOWARD ROCKLAND HARBOR IS A BIG PLUS FOR THIS PROPERTY. IT'S CONVENIENT TO ROCKLAND, YET VERY QUIET - HARD TO BEAT!

On the Water is a great company...personable and easy to work with. Everything is clear and communication is good and timely. We had an issue with the lock on the door, and we reached Justin by phone in the evening on the first try. He was there the next morning to take care of the problem.
Property
Our stay was wonderful. The house is clean and comfortable. We love
sitting on the deck in the morning watching the sunrise over the water. We appreciate
the comfortable seating and the great kitchen. Our only concern is the rising price; it is headed out of our range.

Our favorite feature was the lovely view of the boats resting in and sailing out of the harbor...the eagles, osprey and loons... The lovely and well-maintained home in a quiet neighborhood. We stayed one week last year at Seaside Cottage - two weeks this year. Enough said.
