2 Bedroom Cottage in Vinalhaven, Vinalhaven Island

This gorgeous, brand new, waterfront Post & Beam cottage is located on a tidal cove. This location is unique in that you have lots of privacy, it is across the cove from a nature preserve & down a quiet wooded lane. It is also unique in that it is only an 5 minute drive to town. Very few locations on Vinalhaven have this unique combination of advantages.
You will enjoy beautiful sunrises, & sunsets reflect in the cove! Tidal coves are mud flats at low tide, which is great for bird watching! The hummingbirds will fly right next to you when you are sitting on the deck. Hummingbird and bird feeders are provided. as well as binoculars for a closer look. At high tide the water is over your head & the mud warms up the water so it is possible to go swimming when the tide is right. If you have a kayak or canoe we have a natural stone area for launching your boat into the cove.
The grounds have spectacular with extensive gardens! The cottage is build on the site of a former saw mill, & the flywheel from the old saw mill sits as a giant sculpture in the Daylily beds.
Inside the house is an open living room/ dining/kitchen area, with large windows facing the water & the daylily gardens. A herb garden is available for you. The bedrooms and kitchen...You supply bed linens and towels except when you might be flying into Maine from another state.
At high tide you almost feel as if you are in a boat the camp is so close to the water (only 10 feet from the high tide mark!). Although the cottage is new it is built on the site of an earlier camp that was very close to the water, which 'grandfathered' the location, building a house this close to the water is no longer possible.
The kitchen has granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, cherry cabinets & a tile floor. The rest of the living area & the bedrooms have red birch floors. The bath has a granite vanity, a full tub/shower, & there are lobster and crab tiles embedded in the shower walls.
Visit Island Spirits offers fine affordable wines and wine tastings, homemade breads, cheeses, & pates. The New Era Gallery has the finest in local paintings, sculpture, photography, prints, pottery, weaving, with openings every 3 weeks, seasonally. Go Fish! has penny candy & toys for the kids, Second Hand Prose has used books, & there's a video store & a beauty parlor, too! Eat at Donna's Surfside for breakfast, Dot and Millie's for dinner. There is a large grocery & liquor store, a post office, a library, & don't forget the Fisherman's Friend & Everything Country! There are yoga studios.
Saturday mornings there's a flea market which is a local summer highlight and a great place to socialize. Enjoy fresh squeezed lemonade, homemade pies, jams, fresh berries, produce & flowers. Knitted hats, jewelry, wood crafts, rugs, pottery, arts and crafts, watercolors, photography, netted handbags, t-shirts, an assortment of this and that, & just plain good old used stuff!

Summary: We spent a week here, it was a fabulous experience. The house is extremely well designed and maintained -- everything we needed for a great stay was there. The full kitchen with all the accessories and large dining table made it easy to feed ourselves. The sofa, easy chair and beds are super comfy and the big-screen TV and ample internet WIFI meant that we didn't lack for entertainment and connectivity. Finally, the view from the house is spectacular, it sits on a rocky shore -- you feel like you're the only one there. The house is well located, with easy access to the paved main road that takes you quickly to any point on the island. In short, we had a great stressless time and hope to return again next year!

Summary: My wife and I spent two glorious weeks in Joel's cottage at the end of the summer season. The location of the cottage at the edge of Vinal Cove was ideal, with views over the water, boulders and the unspoiled shoreline across the cove. The location was also perfect for our bike rides into town, to the quarry to swim, and for rides to the many "preserves" and natural areas for our daily hikes. It was so peaceful, tranquil, and quiet which made for a very relaxing time and some wonderful sleep. The cottage is beautifully designed and constructed and was just right for the two of us. We appreciated that Joel was happy to give us advice when we had questions or could provide some history and lore of the area.

Summary: This was our first trip to Vinalhaven and we certainly lucked out with this property! The cottage is located close to water's edge, with an unobstructed view of Vinal Cove. The owners, Joel and Julie, who spend summers in the main house, take obvious pride in their property. The gardens are spectacular and hummingbirds abound. They were so accommodating and even invited us to a party at their house. At the same time, they respected our privacy. We cannot wait to return to the island and the cottage!

Summary: Joel’s cottage was everything we hoped it would be and more. We were looking for a view of the water and were treated to a week of gorgeous sunrises over an already stunning view. We wanted outdoor adventure AND the creature comforts of home — the location, property, and hosts did not disappoint. The beautiful gardens and bird feeders attract so many types of birds that there’s always something interesting to watch. Joel and Julie are kind and considerate hosts, and we’re so grateful to them for sharing their home with us.

Summary: Basically all the previous reviews are spot on—one of my favorite parts of the island (after 20 + years’ experience) and a perfect cottage to boot. One of the more impeccably clean and maintained rentals I’ve ever seen. Perfectly equipped, and the spot can’t be beat. Mudflats for birdwatching and serenity, when tide up fantastic kayaking out into Winter harbor. Granite rocks to watch the sunset from, and a host pair who are delightful. Oh, and fresh herbs in the garden:). This is perfect.
