Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Vinalhaven

This is a beautiful hidden little gem. The cottage is right on the water facing west, perfect to catch the sunsets every night. The place is comfortable and homey. The local store (Dunbar’s) had everything we needed and more, including a deli and hot food. We enjoyed some time in Acadia, which is about an hour drive, but trust me it was worth the drive to stay at Plover’s Cottage. I would definitely stay again. Mark, the host, was available for questions and even brought more firewood to make sure we got to enjoy the fireplace.

While it might seem a tad bit pricey it's right in line with all of this desirable area particularly in that you have the whole place, not just an apartment. The setting is beautiful and you could stay for a month and not run out of new experiences. We loved being on the "quiet side" of MDI in SW Harbor. Hosts were great to work with and I also appreciate we were able book on short notice after another reservation mysteriously disappeared from the app.

James’ place was absolutely amazing! The views of the lake are stunning and he graciously accepts dogs in his home. We had access to the canoe and kayaks and fire pit, which could easily be enough for a stay in the house. The house was clean and in a private area. I would recommend this lake house to anyone looking for a quiet retreat. If I were to stay here again, the only thing I would do is probably bring my own pans to cook with.

We had an amazing mini vacation here. It was so quiet and peaceful. Walkable to everything. I would recommend highly!

This house is remarkably beautiful and welcoming. The walls of windows welcome sunshine throughout and the private views of the water are unmatched. Artistic details abound in the interior - like Anthro and West Elm had a baby. We vacationed with our toddler and my in-laws and we all had ample space to gather, as well as disperse. Highly recommend! Local recs: The Activity Shop for kayak rental delivery, pizza from Blaze, coffee from Bucklyn, brunch at Humblebee Cafe, sundries from Blue Hill Co-op, blueberry pie from Mount Desserts (on way to Acadia).

Perfect little spot in Owls Head. The house has all the necessities and is in a very cute neighborhood. Would stay again in a heartbeat!

My husband and in-laws and I and our two dogs stayed for a long MDW. The weather did not cooperate but did not hinder us. Especially staying at this Airbnb on the beautiful Oxbow Brewing property. In fact the coziness of the space made a rainy day even more fun. We were visiting for the racetrack and location was excellent for privacy and also close to local attractions. Wish we had more of a group to experience the space with us, it was really special!

I had a lovely visit with a good friend. The air bnb stood out to us because of how beautiful the photos were and they didn’t do the place justice. It was so nice to stay in a place that felt like it was cut from a magazine. The home is in a private space but not far from restaurants and other towns with cute shops. We were close to lots of hiking trails and coastlines. I am quite sure I’ll be back!

What a wonderful experience! Rebecca was an absolutely outstanding host, always quick to respond and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. My family and I had such a peaceful stay. The home and location were incredibly tranquil, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The house and property were absolutely beautiful, and we loved sipping our morning coffee on the amazing balconies with the breathtaking views. There is so much space, and every room in the house is well thought out, functional, and cozy. The pool is even better than we hoped, so big and clean and in immaculate condition. We spent most of our time swimming and relaxing by the pool. We also enjoyed playing pool and having so many rooms to gather in with the comfort of plenty of new comfy furniture. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind for a vacation away from all the noise and chaos of daily life. Every single area was as described in the listing and better. Thank you for an unforgettable stay!

Adorable cottage, newly renovated. Perfect for two with an open space loft for one more. Kitchen is well stocked right down to the coffee. A good location if visiting Fort Knox, Mt. Barrie and not too far from Bar Harbor if that is on your list. Great stay, highly recommend. Beautiful view and private.

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 got a very rainy week in Maine but still enjoyed the beautiful, comfortable and well stocked house, views, decks and incredible garden. Beautiful restaurants, bookstores and wine and antique shops near by. Hope to return to very soon.

We had a wonderful stay at this property for our daughter's graduation celebration! The house was perfect for hosting our family with just the right number of bedrooms to accommodate everyone comfortably. The separate bedroom in the basement was a definite bonus especially for our family members traveling with kids. It provided a quiet, private space that made a difference. The outdoor space was a highlight! The backyard was spacious and perfect for relaxing and the fire pit added such a cozy vibe for evening gatherings. The pool was not yet open but imagine that it will add even more fun! The dining room table easily seated our group of 10 making family meals a breeze and truly special. Everything was clean and exactly as described. This property was the perfect place to create lasting memories!

I recently stayed with my family at this incredible Airbnb that exceeded all my expectations. This property offered a hot tub, a pool table, and a level of privacy and tranquility that made for a truly relaxing getaway. One of the highlights of our stay was being able to watch the northern lights from the hot tub – it was absolutely magical. We spent a week in Acadia, and the location was perfect, just 15-20 minutes from Bar Harbor or the nearest town. The hosts were very responsive, and the place was fantastic for families, being both kid and pet friendly. It was a week filled with unforgettable moments, and I can't recommend this place enough!

The location was perfect - you didn’t need your car to get around. We were right at the main square or park with lots of interesting shops and restaurants close by. We were 10 minutes from Acadia National Park. Highly recommend spending the extra $6 to drive up Cadillac Mountain. The unit was well appointed, clean, and had games for the kids to play. I did’t care for the shower but I am not used to a claw-foot tub shower. Overall really enjoyed our stay!

We had a great stay at this house! Plenty of beds for everyone. Convenient to get to Acadia and bar harbor with a short drive!

Our trip to Stonington to stay with Maggi has become an annual event. We enjoy settling into a place that has become a second home. Whether it is relaxing at the cottage, walking into town, traveling to a local preserve or taking the mailboat out to Isle au Haut, it is a wonderful experience. Local restaurants offer many options for dining but Stonington Seafood, a great source for local fish, and Maggi's well stocked kitchen and outdoor grill can make dinner prep a snap right at the cottage. We are already looking forward to our next trip.

We had the most wonderful stay at this charming Airbnb in Bass Harbor! The location is absolutely perfect — right on the water, offering stunning views and a peaceful, quiet atmosphere. After a full day of exploring and sightseeing, it was such a joy to come back to this cozy and homey spot to unwind and relax. The home itself has such a warm, inviting feel. It’s thoughtfully decorated, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. It’s also in a prime spot — just a short drive to the iconic Bass Harbor Head Light and several beautiful coastal hiking trails. Plus, just a short drive to Acadia National Park, making it easy to explore the best of the area. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with close access to both nature and some of the region’s most popular attractions. Can't wait to return!

What a whimsical town! In the middle of nowhere So peaceful Yet, Wallace's General Store, right up the road Maybe a mile Amazing food and Sandwiches and just about everything under sun to Need So, just down the road is this Amazing Place! Three Sisters Farm Heaven Awaits Must check out

Incredibly peaceful and gorgeous location. Very quiet and the docks on the lake and the views were perfection. Loved the drive in on the camp road and while there were other cabins close by, we never saw or really heard anyone else. Which was great. Would absolutely book this place again!

This was a truly magical stay! Peaceful, private, comfortable… The most well thought out and welcoming off-grid lodging I’ve ever stayed in! The cabin itself is spectacular and the surrounding garden and forest are just enchanted. Rod was an incredible host, responsive and so accommodating when I needed to shift my reservation. I would stay there again in a heartbeat! Don’t even hesitate on this one!

My family and I had an awesome time at the cottage on Swan’s Island. Kyle’s instructions were super detailed and helpful, and he was extremely responsive. The cottage is sweet and simple, and the natural surroundings are just unparalleled. We spent a lot of time on the beach. Turns out our three yr old LOVES ROCKS 😝 The island overall is really charming. We also had an excellent time hiking through the mossy forest and running around on the fine sand beach. We even got in the water despite the cold. Bought some lobsters from the fisherman’s co-op and they were delicious. One tip is that you might need more firewood than you think if it’s late spring! We should’ve brought maybe one or two more bundles, but now we know…we’re almost certainly coming back!

Centrally located in a laid back portion of Maine’s central coast there is plenty to enjoy in a short drive yet the neighborhood is private and peacefully silent at night. Marianne (host) is available for local knowledge and went beyond expectations to make my wife and I comfortable and welcome. Cozy cottage is perfect for a couple and a pup with everything we needed. We’ll be back.

Sean and Julia provided a place to stay that was so well thought out, I'm pretty sure I couldn't figure out anything that they had not provided for. And as host myself, I tried. It was comfortable, bright, plenty of room, and had all the stuff that really makes the difference between a good stay and a great stay: plenty of lights, more than enough outlets, good water pressure, plenty of hot water, and a bed that was like sleeping on a cloud. We met both Sean and Julia and they are delightful. Julia took the time to get us settled and explain how things worked in the space, and just generally made us feel welcome and at home. Oh, by the way, the view from the living room picture window is spectacular! And the grounds were green and lush and well kept. All in all we could not have asked for a better AirBnB experience. We highly recommend Sean, Julia, and their space.
