On the Rocks is sublime!

Our stay at this exceptional spot was heavenly. The house is peaceful, beautiful, and stylish—very Maine-y, too! Should one get antsy relaxing on the spacious deck, there is just enough to do in the area. Beach access is provided. The owners are readily available if assistance is needed (we texted). I can't imagine a better stay. Incredible views!

Maine retreat

Views were wonderful. Sunset gorgeous every night. You will want to bring kayaks or an inflatable boat with a motor to putter around with if you have one. If not you will simply relax on the deck. Wonderful stay

On the Rocks is Top Shelf!

If there is a better place with better hosts on the Coast of Maine we have yet to find it! David and Jenepher are wonderful and this cottage is fabulous! As Jenepher said 'you can't get any closer to the water without being in it'! We had a great week here and hope to be back next year.

Oceanfront paradise

Booked this with another couple. The place was exactly as advertised, a maritime cottage over the water. High and low tides changed the views and smells. This was exactly what we were looking for in a quiet getaway.

We loved our stay at On the Rocks. You can't get closer to the water without getting in it. Glorious scenery, including nightly sunsets; stylish setting; fully equipped kitchen; cheerful vibe; access to iconic beaches, steamed lobsters, Bath and Brunswick. Sorry to leave.

Nice location but lots of noise!

There was constant activity directly next to our rental that was a distraction from relaxation. A boat under repair with daily vehicles creating noise including saws, drills and cranes. There was never a dull moment and we looked forward to dull vacation.

Peaceful Place

The place is very peaceful and soothing. It was a totally relaxing experience for us. It has a village feel to it. On the first day, a local fisherman caught a large tuna and it was a highly festive occasion as everyone in the village came out to greet the boat when it arrived. The folks where incredibly welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed our week in this special spot on the sea.

You know how when you find someplace so fabulous you almost don’t want to leave a review so that the rest of the world won’t find it so you can be sure to be able to get a reservation for next time? Yeah - it’s like that. And the owners are pretty phenomenal too.

Can’t Beat the View

Spectacular view! It was great spending time relaxing on the deck and catching the sunsets. On rainy days we put together puzzles provided with the rental. We opened up the front and back door and had a wonderful breeze through the cottage. The outdoor shower was great and the kitchen was equipped with many cooking tools. The days with a land breeze brought Stable Flies that bit our ankles; those days Popham Beach was a better choice than nearby Reid State Park. David and Jenny were kind, communicative hosts.

Paradise "On The Rocks"

What can we say about our stay other than “wow”, the setting is fantastic and screams “Maine.” Everywhere you look there’s another stunning view. Sunsets are amazing, watching the tide come in and out from the deck (afternoon cocktail in hand), watching gulls and terns diving into the water for their dinner. It all adds up to one of the most relaxing vacations we have ever taken… Jen and Dave are wonderful, welcoming hosts and extremely quick to respond to any and all questions. “On the Rocks” is well appointed with all the basics of cottage living: pots, pans, utensils, dinnerware, etc… Charcoal and propane grills were greatly appreciated as were the washer and dryer. The outdoor shower is AMAZING after a day spent on the beach at Reid State Park. We'll definitely return for another stay!
