Family Vacation

This is the third time we have stayed at the Owl’s Head post office; it just keeps getting better!! We were able to get a couple of kayak trips, day trip to Acadia, and enjoy many of the great restaurants in Rockland. Probably our favorite is to go for a long kayak paddle and come back to enjoy the famous Owl’s Head general store “7 napkin burger”….amazing!!

Beautiful property for a long weekend

The Post Office was a great place for us to spend a long weekend and explore the coast. Everything we needed was there, we enjoyed the fire pit and having access to the grill. We walked to the lighthouse which was a nice chill outing, then headed up to Acadia on the other full day we had, about a two hour drive but doable as a day trip. Communication was great and the space felt very homey!

Incredible stay!

The post office did not disappoint! Our stay was wonderful! Such a charming and unique set up with so many handmade and antique details. We loved the porch and yard!

Enchanting

Staying at the Owls Head post office was like staying in a storybook. We couldn’t have imagined a more enchanting location, next door to a precious general store with a restaurant, and also down the street from a gorgeous beach and light house. The beds are just right and the decor satisfies the imagination. Thank you for this special place!

Already missing this place! Beautiful property, and full of character. The cupola is a perfect spot for reading with a cup of coffee. Lovely backyard with gardens and a pond. Close to Rockland and Camden (great restaurants/shopping--don't miss Primo for farm to table dinner) and the Owl's Head General Store right next door for coffee, yummy breakfast sandwiches, chowder, and the famous 7 Napkin Burger.

A gem in a charming oceanfront village

The post office apartment is unique and wonderful. Its eclectic decor and open spaces make it a delight for guests. The private garden is a real bonus as is its access to the ocean minutes away. Having the famed Owls Head General Store next door is perfect for breakfast or an impromptu meal. Doug the landlord could not be more responsive or accommodating.

Unique property in great location.

This apartment above Owls Head post office is super cute and nicely decorated. The back yard and garden is amazing. Truly beautiful. The patio overlooking the garden was so nice for a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. The kitchen was well equipped. We would have given it easily 5 stars if it wasn't for all the dog hair on all the rugs, throw blankets and pillows in the couch.

Beautiful unique property!

We stayed at the post office while we were in Maine for a family event. We loved the uniqueness and beauty of the house and the property. While we didn't have a chance to use the yard it was gorgeous. The location was great, just a few minutes from downtown Rockland and the General Store next door serves delicious breakfast and burgers.we would love to stay here again when we are able to use all the amenities the property offers like the kayaks. The owners were very responsive to inquiries and check in was very easy. We highly recommend this property!

5th time at the Post Office

We've loved each of our five stays at the Owls Head Post Office over the past 10 years. Walking down Main Street to watch the lobster boats come in, running the Hendrickson's Point loop to Crescent beach, walking our dog at Birch Point, hiking Bald Mountain and the Camden hills, eating out at two of our favorite restaurants in the world (Primo and 18 Central), eating fresh seafood at home from Jess's, and reading on the porch, gazing at that beautiful garden -- it is such a treat.

Still love this place

This is our second stay at the post office and we still all adore it. From the teenager who likes having her own loft room to the husband who loves the views and the light from the copula - everyone has their space. The porch is a perfect place for tea and a book and you can’t go hungry with the general store next door. And it’s so easy to get to Camden or Boothbay or Acadia. Being able to kayak around bay was one of the highlights of the trip this time. We didn’t want to leave.

Perfect getaway

This is the second year in a row that my husband and I stayed at this charming place. It's so cozy and the gardens are beautiful and serene. I loved drinking my coffee in the crow's nest while watching the sun rise over the gardens. Bonus points for being near the light house and several beaches for sea glass-hunting. The General Store's food can't be beat, but It does get a bit noisy from the customers at the General Store during the day. There were several customers who wandered into the backyard a few times where we were sitting by the fire pit. If you can deal with these minor annoyances, this place is fantastic!
