Tranquil waterfront near Rockland, Camden- early booking sale!

Book by February 28 and save 10% a week off seven day rentals. Monthly discounts also available.

Please note- we offer a FULL RENT REFUND for cancellations IF we can re-book your time slot (this is separate from VRBO policy).

A perfect spot for family gatherings, this light-filled house is right on the shore of a tidal salt-water river with access via your own dock in the summer. We are on a quiet, dead end road, but only minutes from the best of mid-coast Maine. Great area for biking, birding, kayaking and hiking and exploring. The house is also an excellent spot for remote work, complete with high speed Wifi and desks. For those occasional hot days, we do have AC if you need it.

Hayden Point is a very clean and comfortable house situated on its own private waterfront with steps and a floating dock (in warm months) for direct access. From our dock, you can paddle down a peaceful river to the Gulf of Maine. Large windows give unobstructed views of the water from most rooms and there is plenty of outdoor space to enjoy. Hayden Point is a relaxing retreat that makes access easy for anyone with limited mobility. Our large deck overlooks the lawn and water.

The kitchen contains everything you need to cook a gourmet meal, but you also can get some of the best lobster in Maine 5 minutes away, and you are only five miles from downtown Rockland. Camden Hills State Park is a short distance as well.

This spacious craftsman style home built in 2004 has 2.5 baths and sleeps 8 adults in three bedrooms (children are welcome, too!). Everything is on the ground floor except the third bedroom and bath. On the ground floor, a private master suite with water views has a king-size bed and sitting area, a large bathroom with a custom walk in shower, and two vanities (one within the bathroom and one in the hallway to the bath). A second bedroom on the ground floor has a queen-sized bed and small sitting area, and a nearby half bath. Upstairs there is a second full bath off a very large bedroom with a big sitting area, games table and 180 degree spectacular water views. The king-sized bed in this room can be separated into two extra-long twin beds and there also is a queen sleeper sofa. A portable crib is provided as well. The house has a great deal of closet space and drawers for storage. All linens are provided and are 100% cotton. A washer and dryer on the ground level provided as well.

The ground floor has the main living space with an open dining room, which seats 6-8 people, and living room overlooking the lawn and the water beyond. The kitchen is fully-equipped with solid-surface counter tops, cherry cabinetry, an electric oven, gas cook-top, dishwasher, trash-compactor, microwave, double-door refrigerator and dishwasher and a walk-in pantry. The kitchen has a breakfast nook and double French doors leading to the wraparound deck. The deck has a sun shade, table, plenty of seating and two grills.

The living room and den area is outfitted with comfortable and stylish furnishings, flat-screen television, Roku and fire stick for streaming, and high speed Wifi for internet access. In addition to heat pumps for air conditioning, there is a whole-house back-up generator, so no need to worry about power loss. Large windows overlook the deck and the expansive lawn and waterfront. Novels, local guide books and maps are also included.

South Thomaston is located just five miles from downtown Rockland, 15 miles from Camden/Rockport and five miles from the St. George Peninsula and the villages of Tenants Harbor and Port Clyde. Hayden Point is less than 10 minutes from Primo, one of the best restaurants in New England. There is also a boat launch open for public use about one half mile from the Hayden Point House, and beautiful Birch Point state park with a beach about five minutes away.

We have a professional caretaker on call during your stay should any problem arise. Dogs are allowed with owner permission and additional pet fee.

Central location with a great view and kayaking!
Excellent property with a great view! We kayaked several times. Great restaurants are within a 15-to-30-minute drive. Day trips to other great Maine such as Acadia National Park are within a 60-to-90-minute drive.

Family (working) vacation
My wife and I spent a week here in late July/early August with our 3 kids (27/25/21), working remotely some and just hanging some. Very nice property - comfy bed in large MBR suite, large upstairs with more beds and desk, well-supplied kitchen, nice deck, all very clean. Slept 5 comfortably in 4 beds. Kay was an amazing host - super responsive, informative, and accommodating. Loved the area for hiking/biking/dining out. Only things we missed were a fire pit/ring in yard and some luggage racks in bedrooms. Would stay again for sure.

Wonderful Maine
The house was lovely, very clean, well stocked, and a great location on a quiet street. Nice area for walking, and convenient to many attractions. Overall I would give it a great review except for the view. The pictures showed a nice open view of the river, but because the trees and shrubs need to be trimmed you loose 80% of the view shown in pictures.That was my only disappointment.

South Thomaston Retreat
The property is in a quiet rural area and also close to restaurants and interesting sites. Enjoyed hiking and museums close by and returning to this serene place. Particularly enjoyed watching the river having two tides! How do the fish know when the water is leaving the river bed?!

Just go!
This home is the best of all worlds, peaceful setting, friendly neighborhood, convenient to Rockland, Camden, and Rockport. We appreciated Kay’s recommendations for local attractions, her attentiveness, and the well appointed kitchen that allowed us to prepare a Thanksgiving feast. Hope we can visit again soon!

An enjoyable stay at South Thomaston
Wonderful time of the year to visit the area. No crowds, no waiting anywhere. Foliage was awesome as was the cooler Fall weather. The wonderful house and setting tops it all. The Rogers

Family summer vacation
We loved the convenient location on a quiet and friendly street. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed, and had plenty of space for our family of 5 plus dog to spread out and relax. It was clean, comfortable, and very nicely decorated. We appreciated the fully stocked and spotless kitchen, large bed in the primary bedroom, and all the little extras, like puzzles and games, that helped pass the time when we encountered a few rainy days.

Awesome relaxing vacation
The house was awesome and exactly as described. My family and I had a lovely long weekend. The entire Rockland/Camden area was beautiful with a few very good restaurants in the area that are open all year (Primo and Fresh are a couple we really enjoyed). The dogs also loved the big yard! We would definitely come back again.

Lovely spot for a vacation.
We had a lovely time in this perfect house. The yard was large and inviting with a beautiful spot to sit and watch the sunset. The house was clean and well appointed. Large windows gave a beautiful view of the inlet. The location was great for accessing all types of vacation spots — museums, lighthouses, good restaurants, beaches. Truly a delight and highly recommended.

Great location near a quaint fishing village
Kay was a great host. Terrific location for checking out the Maine coast. Very helpful with shopping and restaurant suggestions. Maine Sports delivered a canoe for our use. We biked all over the area. Very comfortable beds! We will be back.

Comfort and Location
This home was clean, comfortable and quiet on a large, flat lot that was perfect for playing yard games. The shade over the deck was a great bonus that enable us to spend time outdoors, even when it was hot and sunny. The location can’t be beat; it is a short drive to the Rockland/Camden area but still in a quiet countryside.

Beautiful sunsets!
We definitely enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home on the water. The location was perfect for all our day trips to Camden, Rockland, Freeport, Boothbay, Wiscasset, and Bailey's Island. We found several excellent restaurants including Red's Eats, Ada's Kitchen, Doug's Seafood, and Archie's. The sunsets in the evening were spectacular! Kay, our host, was very responsive and quick to answer any questions. A fun and relaxing trip!

Peaceful, relaxing stay
What a relaxing home and serene location! Close to Rockland and neighboring towns, while retaining a feeling of seclusion, we loved our stay. The beds were very comfortable, and the house was well-equipped with linens, kitchen supplies, and everything we needed to feel right at home. Communication with the owner was easy and helpful. A perfect vacation home for those looking to have easy access to town and local hiking/exploring as much as it is for those looking for a tranquil, beautiful spot to get away from it all. We look forward to returning!

Quiet and comfortable
This is a lovely home with beautiful views of an inlet with changing tides. The kitchen is well stocked for meal prep. We were there in May so the cool weather kept us inside but an evening on the patio would have been lovely. Guests should be aware that accessing the water is from a dock and based on tides. The host is enormously helpful.

HIDDEN gem
Wonderful property for anyone that may need accessibility. My mother who is 91, had no difficulty using her walker throughout the house, including her bathroom! The yard was amazing for games and dogs! Quiet setting, fantastic sunsets and super swimming, if you dont mind tidal water (we loved it)! Host was readily available to answer any questions!
