Location is great, but lacking hospitality
House is in a nice area and convenient to stores and restaurants, but the property itself needs some TLC. There is a big yard and patio, but the waterfront view is mostly obstructed by trees. House interior and fixtures are basic; we were expecting better quality for the money. Owner never made good on promise of a lobster dinner that we planned on for dinner our last night there. Disappointed.

Love staying at Glen Cove
This is the second time we have stayed at this house in Glen Cove. The house suits our family well, including our dogs. We found the house spotless when we entered it. The living space works well for the six of us including our young grandsons. And waking up to the view of Penobscot Bay each morning is worth every minute of our ride from New Jersey. The location is also what attracted us back to this house. We love being down the road from the Breakwaters Lighthouse. We also love visiting Camden and finding new towns and lighthouses to visit along Maine's beautiful coast. We look for local hiking trails and beaches and find them all. This year, we opted not to head up to Acadia, but Acadia is accessible to this house. We have been very successful when reaching out to Chris who manages this property. He has always been very responsive to our questions and needs. We are hoping to stay here again in the future.

Fine stay
There are some basic things holding this rental back. As mentioned in previous reviews there is inaccurate information provided upon checkin. The wifi information was not correct in our email but able to email the owner and obtain the correct info. There were only 4 kitchen seats, thin duvets with no extra blankets and no trash can for the main bathroom. The kitchen was well stocked but no dishwasher detergent so you should plan to bring some. The rental was surfaced cleaned but could’ve been better. The location is amazing being close to the breakwater lighthouse with a large yard and view. Some positives and negatives which equate to an overall fine or meh rating.

June visit
The location of the house is beautiful, the neighborhood quiet and close to amenities in the town. The house is comfortable but could use a couple of things we missed: a broom and dustpan, extra pillows in the living room (furniture is very deep for short people!) and some games besides puzzles. Our stay was lovely, with good weather. The Farnsworth is a must-see, and a schooner sail in Camden was great. We enjoyed the restaurants. Found the electric range not easy to use with little heat modulation. Location and home just fine.

THE PERFECT PLACE THAT SOOTHES THE SOUL!
This was indeed was the best ever VRBO at which we had the most relaxing and enjoyable vacation. The views of Rockland Harbor from this property were beyond words. Tranquility and peacefulness are two words that describe our stay at this VRBO. The host manager could not have been more responsive to any question or concern that we had. The response back was quick and thorough. The house was very spacious and nicely laid out. Morning walks to Rockland Breakwater Light House was just a 5 minute walk and a perfect way to start out our every day. Do yourself a favor and book a stay.....you won't be sorry. A perfect VRBO for a perfect get-away for us! Many thanks.

Basic and Good
The property was as described, and the previous reviews were all accurate and telltale. There was confusion with the information in the 'key' email not being accurate with regard to the address and the wifi access, this required an email to the owner and he responded quickly. I saw others mentioned this in their reviews as well. Wrong info is inefficient communication. There seems to be a short supply of glassware, plates, towels, only one trash bin for one bathroom, none for the other. The furnishings lacked for the three of us in our party. I cannot image more than four persons staying here and having adequate furnishings. There was a huge rip in the front screen door vi I requested it be repaired as we were staying two weeks and we had a small dog along, who jumped through and out while we waited for this repair. It was repaired the second week of our stay. The house is spacious, as as are the yards. At times the back yard was shared with neighbors riding on a John Deer for their amusement. It's a basic and good place.

Great location, dissapointing upkeep and cleanliness!
Our experience started upon arrival. We arrived in the evening and were not able to find the proper house we rented. We were noticeably provided with the incorrect address, since the house did not look like the house in the images. Had to contact owner, and thank goodness received a response, since he acknowledged that he gave his personal address by accident (yet reading back to older reviews, others have had this same experience) then we were able to find our rental by description on the street, since there is no street address indicated anywhere on the property (which is concerning too). The image online is much more tidy and kept up then in reality. There are large overgrown bushes in the entry and a different screen door with ripped screen. We entered the house and unloaded to find a house that was not clean to any standard. The kitchen had dust covering counters and appliances, the refrigerator and freezer had crumbs, and there was long light dog hair on floors, under furniture, and on furniture. Dust on lamps and items at bedside was very visible too. The bathroom had marks of not sure what "dirt" on the walls. Had to go to the store in the morning and buy cleaning supplies to clean enough to feel comfortable. My family started sneezing our first night, between the dog hair and the dust. The garage is not usable- but filled with old appliances. The ceiling in the living space needs a lot of repair. As other reviews have mentioned, there are no curtains in the bathrooms and other spaces too. Reached out to owner about the cleaning condition multiple times and no response. Our 2nd to last day received an email that the owner had a family emergency so hadn't responded. I am very empathetic, but If renting multiple properties, must designate someone to oversee if unable or periodically check in for correpsondance and at least electronically respond. Views across the back lawn are beautiful, but no direct water view straight back and no water access for use. For the price, we were quite dissappointed.

Incredible Stay and Hosts
We truly loved our time at this home. Like any home there are sometimes things that break or go wrong and this host was so quick to respond each time. The view and the large backyard were perfect for our family and dog. The walk to the lighthouse early each morning were a highlight. We will be back! (Oh, bring a wine opener though!). LOLOLOLOL. Great place and people.

Chris was helpful and was able to accommodate our booking last minute. The house was perfect for our last-minute trip and couldn’t have asked of a better Host. Chris did a great job coordinating check in considering we booked last minute and arrived much later than expected check in. House has been maintained well and was clean on arrival. House is perfectly located and a short drive to all the good food spots and local points of interest. We walked the Rockland Breakwater at the end of the street and couldn’t believe how breathtaking the views were closer to sunset! HIGHLY recommend the lighthouse walk – 10/10. We will definitely be coming back next year and hope to take advantage of the front door lobster delivery service!!!

The Rockland Harborwatch is all about location! The house is equipped with nice furniture and décor including stunning view of the Rockland Harbor. Perfectly located between Camden & Rockland offering short drives to enjoy what both oceanfront towns have to offer! We enjoyed a day golfing and exploring what all the Samoset Resort had to offer since it is walking distance from the property. Overall great property – very clean, well-organized, and maintained. A++ Chris was great and helped with any questions we had and offered direction with his recommendations for food, local attractions, etc. We couldn’t have asked for a better MidCoast getaway and look forward to coming back next year!!!
