About this property

Direct, Deepwater Ocean-front house. Totally renovated in 2019

Charming, warm, direct waterfront house with covered front porch. Next to active private wharf for moorings with recreational boats. Watch comings and goings from the front porch. Moor your boat in front of house while renting house (additional fee for mooring).
The house was COMPLETELY RENOVATED in 2019! Granite counters, SS appliances, gas cooktop.
Two upstairs bedrooms have a queen bed each, third upstairs bedroom has queen bed and a single bed. King bed in master bedroom. Perfect for large family or two small ones, or couples. Full bath with shower upstairs, master bath (tub, shower) in master bedroom, with additional 1/2 bath downstairs. Comfortably appointed, flat screen HDTV's in living room and master bedroom with Direct TV. WIFI, Bluetooth speaker, gas fire place. Gas grill for outdoor grilling, washer and dryer. Enjoy sitting and sunning on the rocks or kayak from the property.

The area is beautiful and diverse and there is so much to do. Nearby Rockland and Camden offer the best in dining, from four star restaurants to the freshest seafood available, or cook in our nicely furnished full kitchen or on the gas grill on the porch.

This is not a remote, isolated cottage. There will be occasional activity on the adjacent private wharf with folks coming and going to their recreational boats moored in the harbor. They load and unload at the wharf as they come and go to the near-by off-shore islands. It is generally quiet and peaceful, and there is no wharf activity evenings and nights. There is no commercial activity or public access to the wharf.

Beautiful Spot and Home
We had a wonderful two weeks on Spruce Head. The house was beautiful- our favorite parts were the perfect kitchen and the large porch. Our children loved watching people get on the boats next door to go to and from the islands. Darrald was very easy to communicate with and helpful. Spruce Head is a great destination- a quiet and beautiful part of MidCoast. We have been coming to Spruce Head for a couple of years and we hope to come back to this house many times!

Fantastic Stay, 110% Recommended
I stayed at Spruce Head for a week with 5 friends and we couldn't have been happier. The house was exactly as presented. It was clean, comfortable, and we made plenty use of the accompanying docks. The property is in the middle of what is a small lobster fishing village overflowing with New England charm. Would absolutely go back.

This is a lovely house and well appointed with TV and internet and all the amenities. Lots of bedrooms, lots of privacy, and a lovely porch looking out over a working harbor. Lovely, lovely, lovely

A true Maine experience
We had a wonderful week on Spruce Head Island, visiting with family, enjoying the view of the harbor, preparing some great seafood meals, and more time sitting on the porch! We found the house to be clean, comfortable and quiet....the activity around the marina was just interesting, not intrusive - and Skip. the harbormaster, is a national treasure, with stories of the operation of the marina. We have been renting houses up and down the Maine coast for 6 years now, and this might just be our favorite so far. We hope to return!

Worth the return visits
This was our 5th time to stay at 32 Merchant's Landing, 3 times with the former owners and the 2nd time with the current. Each time I am even more impressed with the condition of the property, the cleanliness and the comfort. We are always looking for a quiet place to spend our time away from the big city of Houston, TX and this certainly fills the bill. Not too far from restaurants, museums, and shopping, but not on the beaten path. We love it and therefore highly recommend it to anyone interested in experiencing life in Maine. We were there at the absolute peak of the fall foliage season so the leaves were beautiful. The Maine coast has a plethora of great places to eat your fill of lobster or whatever you desire. In this house you can sit on the porch and watch the lobster and sail boats coming and going. Very relaxing. We look forward to our 6th stay!

About the host

Host profile image
We purchased this property from extended family in 2009. They had rented the house out seasonally, and we began dong so in 2013. We completely renovated the house in 2019, putting on an addition and upstairs dormer. We added a full bath upstairs as well. We are planning to live here in the next few years but until we do, we will continue to rent the house out seasonally.

Why they chose this property

Incredible views and easy access to Mid-Coast Maine.
