This home on Rockport Harbor is one of the most wonderful places I have ever been. My family and I spent a week last August and are desperately trying to find time to go back for two more soon. I have never vacationed in the same spot twice, but could happily make this a yearly family trip. The house is gorgeous, full of history and feeling. Naps on the veranda, the orchard-like yard and the superb condition of everything make this a truly restorative experience. The owners have been fantastic to deal with, very organized, responsive and caring, and went out of their way to help fill in our weeks when schedule conflicts prevented us from returning this August. Deposits have been returned promptly and all interactions positive. Rockport, Camden and the surrounding villages are truly gorgeous as well--the Bay Chamber Series, just around the corner, literally from the house, is fantastic. I could go on and on about this wonderful property but will end by saying we will be back as soon as possible!

I have been renting this property multiple times a year for many years. The owner's high standards are evident throughout the home and lovely gardens. I have always found it to be in meticulous condition upon arrival. I think this rental is best suited to those who respect the house's ancestry and are of a fastidious nature as this is a very special residence that is lovingly maintained.

I have been renting this property multiple times each year for many years. It is a very desirable house in meticulous condition. I always leave the unit in "as-found" condition so as to respect the high standards of the owner and the incoming occupants.

A very well equiped kitchen and a lovely view of the harbor from every room in the duplex where we enjoyed our summer stay again.

This home is in great condition and is in a fabulous location. We had a fantastic time and would go back in a heart beat. The home was comfortable, well-stocked, and bright. The porch is as good as the pictures make it look, and the view is pure Maine coast. Be sure to visit the Belted Gallway cows and bring your bikes.

After several online conversations with the owner, I booked the Old Rockport Community House for a family vacation in Maine. I sent a significant deposit (part of which would be reimbursed after our stay) several months in advance and then paid in full about a month before our arrival. The beautiful house is large and broken up into segments which do not allow easy passage throughout the house. The owner has a lot of rules to follow and we tried our best to follow those rules. After our stay, I emailed and called the owner three times asking for return of my rather generous security deposit. After the third email, she responded that I would receive nothing back, but rather owed her $75. I noted that we were very careful with her property and asked for a listing of what damage we had done to cause her to keep our full deposit. She has never replied. While the house is beautiful and has a fabulous location on the bay, I would not stay again at this property because of the owner.
