Photos and Description of the Spruce Head vacation cottage rental
2 bedroom, 1 bath, sleeps 5

This 2-story A-frame style cottage sits high above the rocks on the north side (the quieter side) of Spruce Head Island. With 150 feet of deep water frontage, the view to the mouth of Penobscot Bay, Camden Hills and the islands is breathtaking! Some say, 'It's the best view on the island!'

Enjoy sunrise with coffee or sunset with cocktails on the rocks. Launch kayaks directly from the gravel beach, curl up by the fireplace with a book, or walk the island to view a working harbor, or witness nature at its finest.

Quiet location, yet close to all the activities of Mid-Coast Maine. Beaches, shopping, restaurants, light houses, the Owl Head Transportation Museum, the Farnsworth Museum, ferries & more! You've got it all!

Please note the other cottage on the property is used for storage -- it will be vacant when you rent from us. We are continually upgrading and updating! You never know what will be new when you arrive!

this actually was our second vacation at this location, having spent a week there in 2010, we just had to return for another wonderful week. everything the owners have listed and described is just as they say. excellent customer service!! the sunrise and sunsets are just unbelievable. the loudest noise we heard all week was the screech of baldhead eagles searching for food. speaking of food, WOW, the local docks provide excellent choices of the days catch-they even prepare the lobster, steamers, and crabs for you if you want. pleanty of things to do on day trips to town and brouse the shops, etc. took a great day trip to monhegan island on the ferry boat, what a unique place to visit. my wife is photo buff and she was in all her glory on spruce head. its a great place to go, and i highly recommend it.

We loved it. Comfortable cottage with fabulous views from inside and from decks downstairs and up. The owner told us how to get to the local shell beach - about a 15 minute walk. One thing to be aware of is that there's a very narrow, enclosed staircase to get up to the bedrooms - no problem if you're moderately fit!

We very much enjoyed our time at this comfy cottage. Everything we needed was provided and then some. The views are magnificent and it was fun to watch the boats coming and going. Harbor seals and a Great Blue Heron visited just down the shoreline almost every day, and we had a great time walking around the island, around the village on the mainland and visiting other towns around the peninsula. The other side of the island, where you can purchase freshly caught lobster (they will cook it for you or you can take it back to the cottage to cook it yourself) is just a few minutes walk from the cottage and the pizza at the Sea Store on the mainland was fantastic!
Everyone we encountered in the area was warm and friendly and the landlords were great to work with, providing an abundance of information needed for our stay, as well as about the surrounding area. To top it all off, we were pleasantly surprised to find our deposit refund check waiting for us when we returned home just 8 days later!
Highly recommended! We hope to return again someday.

the owners were absolutely perfect in providing all information from rental agreement, location, local interests, etc. truely great customer service. local seafood was better than expected. the local lobster (on spruce head) were great to get fresh lobster, etc. they boiled it and even melted the butter for an on the spot meal or take home.
i would recommend this rental to anyone who is looking to enjoy the maine coast as it really is.
thanks again to the landlords!!
