escape the ordinary

Rockaway is a unique island property located 12 miles off the coast of Maine. The property's eight acres and adjoining 45-acre nature preserve provide a peaceful and secluded setting with beautiful spacious grounds, gardens, vistas, and trails to the shoreline and rocky beaches. Our eight bedroom private residence, built in 1857 by a Vinalhaven sea captain, first began welcoming visitors in 1874.

Wake up to the beauty of ever-changing views. Enjoy your morning coffee on the sunrise porch overlooking Lanes Island Preserve. Take a short stroll to town to explore the shops, galleries and eateries. Cool off with an afternoon swim in one of the three quarries on Vinalhaven or in the ocean at your doorstep. Hire a boat for an unforgettable adventure on one of many neighboring islands. Relax on the sunset porch with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. As the evening sets in, prepare a wonderful meal to enjoy with family and friends. Lay on the lawn under the big sky and count the stars until you are ready to fall asleep to the sound of the waves upon the shore. Make memories that last a lifetime.
