South Thomaston Vacation Rental farmhouse

Well located to the Rockland area, this rustic old Maine farmhouse is well situated on beautiful piece of ocean front property. There is plenty of privacy. The accomodations may not be suitable for everyone; the only full bath is on the second floor and that is not a stand-up shower, but this was to my family more than made up for by the friendly and accomodating owners who went out of their way to make our stay the enjoyable and memorable experience it turned out to be.

Our three-generation family had a wonderful time staying at the farmhouse on Split Rock Cove Road. (The split rock on its own is an amazing sight!)

We arrived during a rainy spell when we couldn't see the ocean from the house. Having imagined a "seaside view", this was an initial disappointment. However, our mood was quickly raised when we met our delightful, generous and accomodating hosts and settled into the comfortable, immaculately clean and well-appointed house.

Then the fog cleared, and from our kitchen window we got a sighting past the meadows and trees of gorgeous ocean and islands. We then explored the grounds and shore line, falling in love with the pebble beach, where we launched kayaks for good paddling around coves and islands. We enjoyed beachcombing for pebbles and beach glass, watching lobstermen picking up their catch, and just relaxing with this lovely oceanside all to ourselves.

Other highpoints of staying at this pleasant rental are: excellent mattresses and pillows with fine linens and attractive,comfy bedding -- on all beds; very high quality kitchen implements (unusual in rentals, we've found), the outdoor shower with luxurious shampoos, plenty of hot water, and privacy provided by blossuming honeysuckle vines; the rolling lawns, attractive landscaping and picturesque barns which create peaceful surroundings as well as great play areas for kids -- perfect for our bocce, frisbee and hide-and-seek; convenient location for Rockland and all midcoast activities as well as nearby farm stand, lobster wharf, and fish market.

We highly recommend Seaside Farm for anyone who wants a bucolic ocean stay in Maine with very comfortable accomodations and very accomodating hosts.

This cozy farmhouse is only the beginning. The views and access to this Penobscot Bay's cove is breathtaking. Seaside Farm gave us a starting place for exploring Rockland, Rockport and Camden as well as Tenant's Harbor and Monhegan Island. There is so much to do in this area from hiking, kayaking, swimming in a nearby lake, several beaches - both rocky and sandy, shopping, art museums, restaurants, and the fabulous Maine experience. The house is simple and well equipped. The owners live nearby and are incredibly welcoming.
