Beachfront vacation rentals in Knox County

We had an absolutely wonderful month long stay at this lovely cottage. Walter could not have been a more gracious host and so accommodating and caring when we had some trouble with our car in the winter weather, felt right at home! The nature is stunning and we can’t wait to come back in the summer sometime :)

What a wonderful spot! Gorgeous, quiet pond and relaxing wood fired sauna. Rheanna is a super responsive and helpful host. We'll be back! Just FYI - this cabin is a "three season" structure. Although it was super comfortable, it felt a little more like camping than we originally expected with some cool nights and mornings, a few insect frinds, and a short walk to the shared bathrooms and kitchen area.

What a great place to unwind and reconnect with nature. I slept better than I have in ages. The sound of the ocean water making contact against the rocky Maine coast will put your mind at ease. I loved getting up early and watching the sun rise. Also taking the stairs just past cottage #8, and collecting sea glass on the beach is so much fun. I have been coming here for years and I highly recommend staying at these cottages

Being at Carole's place was a total pleasure. If I could, I'd spend a lot of time living on a boat, and this was about as close as possible to that experience, only much more comfortable. I loved being able to see all that was going on in the bay - a lobster boat with a happy dog aboard, a kayak - but mostly birds, including a few visits from a couple of Bald Eagles. For anyone who enjoys nature and privacy, this place is heaven.

My husband and I had a great 3-night stay at Liz’s cabin. It was an enchanting place to spend a rainy long weekend with all the warmth and coziness that one would want from a cabin in the woods. As others have noted, the location is superbly private and relaxing! We loved sitting by the fire, having our morning coffee on the enclosed porch and walking the pond-side trails right outside the front door. The cabin makes for a great jumping-off point, too, for lots of great things to explore in the midcoast including Odd Ale Wives, Oxbow Brewing and some great eats in Damariscotta. We really enjoyed our time. Liz and her husband were awesome hosts.

Highly recommend John's place. Perfect location - could walk to beach and get to other areas quickly. John was an excellent host. There to answer any questions, wasn't intrusive, and made a mean cup of coffee. Having the coffee shop next door was a HUGE perk! Place was spotless upon arrival and check in was seamless. I was pleasantly surprised that the place was larger than I expected. The primary suite had a a bonus seating area that I don't believe I saw in the photos as well as a small room on the first floor that had a daybed. We will surely be a repeat customer.

You cannot beat this location!! With the beach directly across the street, two great restaurants within a few steps, and only 10 minutes drive into Camden, this is the perfect vacation destination! We could not have asked for a better place to relax and have some fun adventures in Camden Hills and Islesboro. The house was very clean and comfortable with all the amenities we could have wanted. We ended up eating out for almost every meal (so many great restaurants in the area!), but the kitchen was very well stocked to make meals in. Brendon and Krista were very quick and proactive with communication and sending check-in instructions. Thanks for such a great stay!!

My return visit to the Boathouse was even lovelier than I hoped it would be. The location can't be matched by anything else I've seen. I enjoyed a September visit with my dog and was lucky to have pristine weather. I lived a very simple and healthy outdoors life and came home the better for it. The Boathouse is true to its description: it is simple and rustic and uncomplicated but well-equipped, and is perfect for one-and-dog, or for two people. A little coming-and-going from the neighboring houses meant that I didn't feel isolated. Margaret is truly an exceptional and friendly host who communicates promptly and clearly. I almost hesitate to share "my" Boathouse location with too many of my back-home friends because it feels so intimate and special. I already want to be back there. I offer my deep thanks to Margaret and to the place that I could - briefly - call home.

We had a beautiful and relaxing stay at Eleanor’s Cottage! The deck has a stellar view of the sunset over the open water and of the tree lined shore across the way; we enjoyed watching the ferry, lobster boats, mist and tides come and go. Phil and Amy were incredibly welcoming and helpful, and the house was well-appointed, homey, and comfortable. This was our first stay on Vinalhaven, which offered (among other things) a collection of mellow trails meandering near the shores, two quarries to swim in, and a downtown with all the essentials (and some serious gems). We would love to return and would absolutely want to stay here again!

This was our first time staying here, and we hope it won't be our last! It's an actual log cabin and overlooks a lovely, peaceful bay, with the town of Castine in the distance. The screened in porch overlooking the water, with rocking chairs & dining room, was wonderful... we hardly moved from there! The kitchen was very well stocked with pots, pans, and other necessary equipment for making great meals. The living room was comfy & the bedrooms were as well. The host was super responsive and helpful. We loved our stay in every way!

Loved our stay. we found plenty of good places to eat and lots to do. within driving distance of many beautiful and fun places. Fresh lobsters right off the boat made it the perfect ending to a perfect vacation. Would love to come back again!

A remote, private and beautiful home on 20 acres. The house is like an older farmhouse with great views to the west from every room. The waterfront deck is perfect to watch sunsets, and the house is decorated with interesting and beautiful art and other objects. Would definitely stay there again.

Nice place to stay for a short weekend visit. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. It was cold and rainy when we stayed, and the heating system worked very well, which I appreciated!

This was a return visit to Butch’s beautiful property and the Owenta Cottage. Once again, both the cottage and the surrounding landscape afforded us a peaceful relaxing week unplugged from the chaos of city life. It is not far if you want to make the drive to Acadia, a day trip is easy. In addition to our time on the property, we had a wonderful dinner at the Arborvine restaurant in Blue Hill, tremendous pizza from Blaze, and explored the Blue Hill bookstore. Thank you Butch for your hospitality once again and for sharing this wonderful space with us!

What a stunning, tranquil spot. The cottage is well designed and in a superb spot. I honestly wish we could have stayed many more days. Unforgettable and highly recommended!

Crissy and this beautiful cozy cabin in the woods, are both wonderful! Arrangements couldn’t be easier, lots of recommendations for things to do, but just hanging out in the home is nice too. Great place to unwind.

Wonderful vacation home with its own water access that had amazing sunrises. The bedrooms were excellent with 3 rooms with king beds, which was perfect for us 3 couples. The open floor plan on the main level had plenty of room for all of us to hang out. The place was very clean, very comfortable, and very quiet. Our host was very quick with any communication and very friendly. This property is perfect if you are looking for peace and quiet on the water with a fanfantastic views.

This is our second stay at Fox Bluff in the last eight months, and we plan to come back many more times. It’s a beautiful home, and Lo is a brilliant host. She checks in regularly to make sure you have everything you need, but isn’t intrusive. The house is extremely well equipped, but uncluttered and airy. Secluded and peaceful, but not remote. There are a few nice restaurants and shops ~5 minutes drive away, in Brooklin, and then larger Blue Hill is a pleasant 20 minute drive: there’s a top-notch independent bookstore, Blue Hill Books; the Blue Hill Co-Op; excellent coffee at Bucklyn Coffee; nice restaurants and shops, etc. There are great trails and shoreline spots all across the peninsula, plus kayaking, sailing, beachcombing, etc. So many stars at night! We’ve always felt comfortable, safe and welcome in the house, and with Lo as our host. It’s our special place and will become yours, too.

Truly amazing home on the beach. The views are stunning, home was comfy and very roomy. Perfect location with everything you need. Really beautiful property!

we absolutely LOVED staying here. the place was perfect for everything we were looking for; activities, shops, food. Barbara was responsive and very helpful. the okce was amazin, cannot stress enough how perfect the stay was!

This was such a treasure of a stay and one of the best trips I've had in a long time, thanks to the joys of this beautiful home. It's located along the coast and near the adorable town of Camden, Maine, which we also fell in love with. As soon as you see this house, you will fall in love and walking in the front door to the view of the bay beyond the windows is an experience. The house had everything we needed and more, the beds were very comfortable, the fireplace was easy to use and such a treat, and the kitchen was well-stocked and more spacious than the photos make it seem. Tobias was a fantastic remote host, providing all sorts of recommendations and checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. They ensured our walk was shoveled immediately after a heavy snow and their family who owns the cooking school next door even offered us a tour during their off-season break. I cannot wait to come back with my mother and sisters.

We just completed our second summer and are still in awe of everything this property has to offer. From the amenities inside to water accessibility, access to many fabulous restaurants, and complete silence from every corner of the property, this house on this island gives you everything you could ever hope for in a summer retreat. George is a fantastic host, extremely responsive, and always willing to help. The property is well-kept, and the house is clean and full of additional supplies. You can't look for much more than what this property offers.

What a beautiful and completely unique home. So glad Johnathan was able to share this amazing place with us. We had my sisters bachelorette weekend here, and she said it was exactly what she wanted. We actually spent more time enjoying the home than we thought. We did a lobster bake down by the shore, watched the sunrise, and hunted constellations at night. A perfect weekend spent on the lake in Autumn. Does it get any better? Johnathan was always there to help, and so friendly and caring. We appreciated all the family history, and every cozy detail of his home. We were sad to leave, but maybe we will have a reunion in the future here! I hope so!

WE loved the cabin - really cozy and right on the water. Loved watching the changing tide. Jill
