Vacation Rental Description

This newly-built Timberframe home is on Dyer’s Island (accessible by  
bridge) about 2 miles from town. It is a brand-new reproduction of  
an antique cottage and sits on 6 semi-wooded acres with  
a beautiful southerly view of Hurricane Sound and Outward Bound's  
Hurricane Island.  Raspberry bushes line a trail that leads to the  
private 250-foot sand and rock beach in front of the property. The  
ferry passes in front of the house many times daily, and lobster  
boats frequently check traps just off the rocks.   
 
The house has one bedroom downstairs with a full bed, a loft with 2  
twin beds (accessible by ship's ladder), and a second loft with a full bed 
(accessible by staircase), full kitchen, bath with shower, outdoor 
shower with hot and cold water, and screened-in porch that faces 
south.  The southern exposure, open design and many special features 
give the house a light, spacious feel:  post & beam cathedral ceiling, 
whitewash pine walls, soapstone counters, red birch cabinets, and 
maple and tile floors. Please, no smoking, no pets. 

Vacation Rental Amenities

TV/VCR/DVD player, microwave, phone, full kitchen,  
charcoal grill, propane lobster cooker, washer, linens and bath  
towels included (please bring your own beach towels). 

Activities and Attractions

The ferry ride from Rockland to Vinalhaven is a stunning 75 minute  
trip across Penobscot Bay, lobster capital of the world.  Once on  
the island, you will really feel like you are “away," yet the town  
offers all the basics and more: grocery/liquor store, restaurants, 
gift shops, bank, post office, hardware store, video rentals, library,  
medical center, and even a new school playground (though we always  
tell our kids the playground is on the beach).   
 
Island life is slow-paced and hosts many ideal vacation activities:  
swimming at the fresh water quarries (kid friendly), kayaking (trips, 
lessons, and rentals are available in town),  town sandy beach, nature 
preserves, historical museum, biking (bring your own or rent), art 
gallery, lighthouse, many trails for hiking and wildlife viewing, 
nearby uninhabited islands to explore, an ice cream shop, and the 
candy/toy store "Go Fish." 

Vacation Rental Rates

Memorial Day weekend-Labor Day weekend: $1500/week or $1400/week for 
2+ weeks.  Off season:  $1250/week.
