Juniper Bank was a lovely, well-maintained and furnished home with a pristine view of Penobscot Bay, an island and Owl's Head harbor. Spending time on the deck overlooking all of this was most relaxing and entertaining.

Juniper Bank is a well-appointed property ideally situated on the mid-coast for day trips to nearby towns or for simply enjoying the property's setting. We probably enjoy most, however, the view of the water and the working and the pleasure boats that travel it.

Juniper Bank sits high above Owls Head Harbor. It provides beautiful views of Penobscot Bay and the sailboats and lobster boats that pass by. The house is spacious and comfortable and is equipped with all the modern features of a year-round home. It is within easy reach of Rockland and the many things mid-coast Maine has to offer. We love making Juniper Bank our home for a month every summer.

House was lovely, well appointed and very clean. We did rent kayaks from On the Water in Maine and they delivered them to the house. It was a hike to put the kayaks in the water, but we found ourselves only heading to the water at high tide - which was fine. Carrying a kayak over the rocks can be dicey when the tides are lower.

Juniper Bank is located in the heart of Owls Head for ultimate convenience to the mid-coast region and beyond. It has all the modern conveniences, a beautifully landscaped yard and a gorgeous view of Owls Head harbor and Penobscot Bay from the deck. Having two master suites was a plus for us and for our visitors. The basement recreation room was great for teenagers to have a space of their own. This is a very nice rental property with lots to recommend it.

We had an absolutely perfect week at Juniper Bank. The lupines were in bloom and every day was clear and sunny. We loved the views from the house - the best of all the rentals we've had - and the easy access to the water was a big plus. We spent hours hunting sea glass as we watched the lobster boats motor to and from Owls Head harbor, just around the bend. The house itself is beautifully decorated and the rooms are bright and sunny. We also enjoyed all of the original artwork on the walls.
