Pleasant Beach Road Retreat

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Prepare to be charmed by this darling cottage, just a short walk to Pleasant Beach, where you can watch the bald eagles, osprey, and local lobstermen hauling in their daily catch. Less than a mile away is Waterman's Beach Brewery, which also boasts the most amazing views of Penobscot Bay and the Mussel Ridge Islands. When you want to explore a bit further afield, Birch Point State Park, Owls Head Lighthouse, Owls Head Museum, and all the shops, restaurants, and amenities of Rockland are just a few minutes’ drive away.

Spend time sipping your favorite beverage on your patio, or take a brief walk to play a family game of kickball on the local field, complete with a baseball diamond. Inside, you’ll find a cozy, welcoming space, with abundant natural light and an open layout. The full, well-equipped kitchen makes meal prep a breeze, and there’s room to sit down for a meal together at the adjacent table.

After a day of exploration, unwind on the sectional while you stream the latest release or use the free WiFi to scroll social media. A washer/dryer and partial AC add another layer of vacation comfort. Keep dinner simple with a cookout on the gas grill, then opt for a stargazing session around the firepit in the yard. An idyllic getaway awaits - all that’s left to do is book.

A wonderful getaway!
Our family loved staying at this cozy home in Maine. An easy short walk to a beautiful cove, a fun (gas) firepit for roasting hot dogs and marshmallows, a bedroom with a TV (peak luxury for a 6 and 11 year old) . . . everything as described, clean, and comfortable. Ideal for traveling with children, we would recommend this home! Two items worth mentioning, neither of which reduce our satisfaction with our stay: One, the pillows are of the very large, thick type . . . if you have a sensitive neck, BYOP (bring your own pillow). Two, the A/C are window units, not central air. They are fairly effective, but a little noisy and not consistent. It would be great if Vrbo would distinguish between central AC and window units.

Great stay
Overall we had a great stay. It is worth nothing that you can access the beach at the end of the road. The town of Rockland has a lot to offer and the house is close to Mcloons for Lobster rolls. The house suited us well and we would stay again.

Lovely cottage for our family of five. Our younger boys shared the adorable kids' bedroom upstairs and had plenty there to keep them busy. Our oldest had the downstairs bedroom and seemed to really love the privacy that the heavy curtains provided. We had the master bedroom and appreciated the comfy king bed and the half bath (wouldn't have minded some heavier curtains in that room too though!) Loved chatting with the chickens out back and roasting marshmallows for s'mores in the fire pit. Sadly it rained for the one full day of our stay, but we made pancakes for breakfast and decided to make the best of it. Luckily the cottage had an impressive assortment of books (many of our favorites) and board games, which we love! Twister helped the boys get some of their pent up energy out. Villainous, Camp and Forbidden Desert were new to us and lots of fun. Would've played Sherlock Holmes Mystery game and Potato Pirates too, but it got too late in the day! Having a washer and dryer and dishwasher available was a nice perk. All the rooms even had nightlight alarm clocks with optional white noise available, which was handy for the kids. Overall we really enjoyed our stay! Somehow lost my phone during our trip which was the one downside. Searched the whole house but didn't find it. If the next person staying there happens to find it, please get in touch. Thank you!

Great little spot
Great place to get away. We did not get a chance to experience all of the local spots but what we did was awesome. The fresh eggs for breakfast on Saturday morning was a great bonus

Perfect secluded place to relax and rest.
This vacation rental was clean, roomy, and had all the amenities that we were looking for. The home is located next to many local harbor towns to enjoy the sights and scenery. I recommend visiting the several lighthouses in the area. Fantastic stay.
