Tenants Harbor House | Lovely oceanfront house with stunning sea views

3 Bedroom House in Tenants Harbor

The house is named the Carousel because it is an octagon, designed with rooms arranged around about a massive central post. It is a cozy, two bedroom house on a rocky bluff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The house has a spectacular view of Metinic, Two Bush and Matinicus Islands. It sits on a quiet dead-end road near the village of Tenants Harbor and in the small community of Harts Neck. Tenants Harbor is about 12 miles from Rockland, an interesting town with museums and galleries.
The layout consists, moving counter-clockwise, of the front hall, 2 bedrooms, each with a newly renovated private bathroom, a welcoming living room/dining room facing the ocean and a well equipped, updated kitchen with gas stove and dishwasher. Upstairs, there is a loft with one bed that overlooks the living room, ideal as a studio or third bedroom. A porch off the dining room overlooks the cliffs and is the perfect place to relax or to entertain. There is heat from a gas stove and a gas monitor and new small heaters in the downstairs bedrooms. There is also also cable TV.
The ocean is endlessly fascinating! With a clear northwester, you can see hundreds of islands, yachts and lobsterman pulling their traps, while in the fog, you are enclosed in your private world. There are many wonderful places to walk or ride bikes, and renters have the use of a private dock and tennis court nearby. The town also offers warm water quarry swimming and the opportunity for boating of all kinds during summer months. The Rockland area has many terrific restaurants, galleries and museums, although it slows down in the fall.
Families looking for day camp for their children could take advantage of the excellent Blueberry Cove camp down the street.
An added note: no one should visit without taking the day trip out to Monhegan!

Summary: The property is everything described and more. There aren't enough words to describe the view and the peace that comes with it. We are frequent visitors to Maine and have rented properties before. This is by far the best.

Summary: I feel very lucky to have stumbled upon this rental. It gave our family everything we were looking for for our vacation. It's peaceful, it's well kept and loved and this family obviously cares about the legacy they have inherited. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. The living room was very comfortable. The house is stocked with lots of things so if you rent this house ask before you bring something. I say this because more than likely it's at the house. All the beds were comfortable and falling asleep to the sound of the waves was the best. I especially loved the linens and the down puff I had on my bed. Bathrooms were new. My son loved the clawfoot soaker tub. The outdoor fire was perfect for the chilly nights. Now for my favorite part of the house...the deck that overlooks the water. We were lucky enough to have 5 days of sunshine so every morning I was able to enjoy my coffee out there watching the waves and lobster boats. We spent most of our time on the deck. We hope to make a trip to The Carousel an annual vacation.

Summary: We had a wonderful relaxing time, the carousel was the perfect size for all of us. Loved the deck and all the windows, hearing the ocean was amazing! The only thing we lacked was a pizza cutter, but we made do.

Summary: This is a wonderful property to experience all that Maine has to offer. You will enjoy the sound of the ocean instead of cars or people. The area has miles of manicured trails that we walked daily. Five minutes away is Port Clyde where you can catch the ferry to Monhegan and enjoy dramatic views and challenging hikes. The house is cozy and comfortable with a gas fireplace for chilly mornings. The owner kept in contact to make sure we were comfortable. Great Maine experience.

Summary: We stayed a week in the lovely Carousel house by the sea. We spent hours sitting on the deck overlooking water, watching the waves, the tide, the sky changing, the lobster boats, and sailboats. We even spotted some Bald Eagles. The view is just everything, and can also be enjoyed from the living room with lots of windows. The house was tidy and clean when we arrived, and we had all we could need during our stay. It's not a fancy place, but so very comfortable and welcoming, like a vacation cabin should be. We stayed in mid September, so we used the gas fireplace/stove to warm up the house in the morning and evening. (Turn it on and off a couple times to get it to light.) We didn't cook a lot but when we did, we had everything we needed. The kitchen is well stocked. It was great to have a washer/dryer on site, and a dishwasher. We discovered a delicious sandwich take-out spot nearby, Ancho Honey. We were there for the last weekend of the season for some of the more crowed, touristy places, but we got a nice seat on the sunny deck of the nearby Happy Clam and enjoyed a yummy meal. Try to arrive in the daylight! It was a little confusing getting to the the Carousel from the paved road. Turn left off of Hartsneck Rd, and then immediately turn left again to be on Richardson Rd, a narrow, dirt lane. The immediate right after you turn on Richardson is the Carousel driveway. We would love to go back someday!

Summary: What a wonderful vacation. Fantastic views and loved the cottage/carousel. Very comfortable and amply supplied with anything you might need. Love the location and the privacy it provides. Sounds of the ocean are amazing! Never got tired of hearing the waves crash against the rocky coastline. Cozy and comfortable inside and out and the owners are terrific. Very responsive and friendly and made sure we had everything we needed to make our stay a pleasant one. Would definitely recommend this location! Hope to return for a future stay.
