About this house rental
Designed for one-floor living, multiple generations can enjoy this waterfront home which is just 100 feet from a working-front fishing wharf, the open Atlantic Ocean and numerous protective islands. Ocean Watch enjoys the exclusivity of being located on Spruce Head Island while also benefits from close proximity to the mainland, accessible by bridge/causeway. Nature is kind enough to provide cool breezes on the island in the summer.
Guests are welcome to launch a kayak from the working dock on the property.
The property sits on the ocean at the end of a private 1/4 mile long road. Explore the unique island nature via the walking paths the property has to offer in the coastal woods of Maine.
World-famous McLoons Lobster Shack is a mere mile away on the island - a must visit and owner-favorite. One of the largest lobster suppliers in the world, Atwoods Lobster, is also nearby. Grab some lobsters fresh off the boat and cook them back at the cottage in true Maine-style. Local activities include Crockett's Beach, Drift Inn Beach, Farnsworth Art Museum, Mount Battie, Samoset Golf and more.
Enjoy this transformative environment and create lasting memories in this unforgettable Maine home.

Local Food Recommendations:
McLoons - local lobster shack - close enough to walk…
Often ranked among the best lobster shacks in Maine. We love their crab cakes and lobster rolls. They also serve burgers and have a separate ice cream stand.
