Stay at Grasslands
The house is immaculate. Grounds are beautifully landscaped and maintained. Easy walking distance to downtown, harbour and all amenities. There are stairs, which we are used to, but I mention it as some may have mobility issues. The house is 19th century, and it’s bones reflect this. It has been updated with modern touches, without destroying its essential character.

Great location but busy street noise
Although the location of this home was ideal to downtown, wharf, and restaurants, it’s in a very busy street which is noticeable when in the home. We tried to sleep with the windows open but the traffic was too loud so we had to resort to putting on the AC which was not ideal. The large trees that shield the front of the house also don’t allow light in the front of the house causing it to be dark and uninviting. I think the owners should be upfront in the description of the home. With that said, the home was comfortable and the few requests that we had during our stay were responded to quickly. Great places to bike and walk to restaurants, downtown, wharf and museums.

A Special Retreat in Rockland
We enjoyed staying in this home - updated and decorated lovely, fairly close to downtown Rockland, and a great place to stage our adventures in the area. Extremely clean and thoughtfully stocked - it's a great getaway with a beautiful deck for some chilling out time. The owners were very responsive to our needs. While they weren't an issue for us, the stairs to the second floor are steep and could be a problem for anyone with mobility issues. Also, while we were there, the Wifi signal was next to nothing, so if you truly need a strong signal for work purposes (I know, you're supposed to be on vacation) - make sure you won't be disappointed with this. Otherwise, it's a special little home and a wonderful place to enjoy all that Rockland has to offer. Thanks, Jimmy & Xiao!

Multi generational vacation
We had a lovely family vacation at this property. The house had everything we needed for days when we wanted to stay put….downtown was an easy 15 minute walk and lots to explore when we preferred to go out… a short drive to two state parks and only an hour to Boothbay to play at the Coastal Botanical Gardens. Although James and Xiao were easy to contact by text…Little contact was needed …Jimmy answered questions quickly…like any where right now we needed to be flexible with restaurants…we planned ahead …ate early…ordered take out in advance…and if the crowds were too large or staff overwhelmed we just ate in

Little gem of a home
Really enjoyed our stay here. Started with a nice touch of wine and beer in the chiller. Plenty of room for couple with children and grandparents, large deck area for extra space. Place was immaculate with some great Maine art touches. Stairs a little tight, but as you would expect from an 1800's house. Ideal for exploring Rockland via the coastal path, a 20 minute walk to town. Would thoroughly recommend this property.

5 star experience. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a rental in Midcoast Maine.
I grew up in the neighboring town and visit a few times every year so I know the area quite well. I chose this place because I had a couple of friends joining me in my annual summer visit back home. The location and accommodations were perfect. The house (with deck and fireplace) was quiet and relaxing for the evenings we stayed in and for the nights we wanted to go out we were only a short walk from everything you'd ever need or want — Primo's, Jess's Fish Market, Southend Grocery, meat market, a restaurant on the peer, public landing with water access, and a number of dining establishments and museums in downtown Rockland. The hosts, James and Xiao, were friendly and readily available with any questions we had. The place felt much more like a home than a rental. It was very well furnished. and very comfortable. 5 stars and would highly recommend.

Home was immaculate, very clean and felt just like home. Plenty of extra touches, i.e. fresh flowers, fruit basket, and bottles of wine. Deck was great with clean grill and pads for furniture. Owners live close by and were quickly available for any questions or concerns. I would definitely stay here again!!!
