Tranquil waterfront near Rockland, Camden-dog friendly


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.

Beautiful seaside home

We arrived early, as offered by the owner, and were so very pleasantly surprised. The house was immaculate, pristine and spotless. Those visitors before us were very kind to leave extra staples for future guest’s enjoyment, and so we did the same. Kay, the owner, was a gem. Communicated very cordially and clearly. Lobster access was less than two miles away. Fresh lobster every day was the norm.

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?!

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.

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.

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.
