3 Bedroom Cottage in Vinalhaven

Broom Island: Your Exclusive Off-Grid Private Island Retreat
Discover the ultimate island escape on Broom Island, a 18-acre private oasis tucked away in the beautiful Fox Islands (Vinalhaven & North Haven). The cozy, 1,500 sqft cottage is completely off-grid, powered by solar energy, and designed for simplicity and comfort with 3 charming bedrooms: a queen bed in the master, a full-size bed in the second, and a kids' bunk room perfect for little adventurers. The inviting living area features a native granite fireplace, a sofa bed for extra guests, and a loft for an added touch of coziness.
Wake up surrounded by unspoiled nature and sip your morning coffee on the deck. Spend your days exploring the island’s tranquil walking paths, take a swim in the ocean, fish off the dock, or explore the rocks and coves where the tides of the Mill River ebb and flow. Adventure is right at your doorstep with a double-seated kayak, rowboat, and access to the island's rental boat (a 17' Boston Whaler Montauk). Alternatively, book a private charter on our 24' Parker sport cabin boat to nearby islands or towns (additional fees apply for both).
Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or a boating enthusiast, there’s a guest mooring for your boat, and the island is conveniently close to Perry’s Creek anchorage.
For seamless travel, you’ll be greeted at the North Haven ferry terminal and shuttled to the island—or opt for a private charter from Rockland or another nearby harbor.
Perfect for nature lovers and those seeking a rustic, yet cozy off-grid getaway, Broom Island offers a rare opportunity to disconnect, recharge, and experience the best of Maine’s natural beauty in complete privacy.

Summary: Broom Island is truly a magical spot. We had the most incredible 10 days on Broom, and are already dreaming of returning. Our family of five was very comfortable in the three bedrooms and cozy living spaces. The cottage has a rustic simplicity (as one would expect), but felt very clean and fresh, well laid out, with a well-equipped kitchen and the spacious great room. The ability to take a warm shower on island was a definite bonus! On warmer days, we enjoyed swimming off the dock or jumping off a rocky point, lazing on the deck with a view down to the water, kayaking Mill River, and exploring neighboring islands by boat. On cooler days we sunk into the great room, watercoloring, reading, and playing board games.Being so close to North Haven was wonderful, and provided for some special outings. We had an amazing dinner at Turner Farm (highly recommend! book in advance!), warmed up at the Sea Smoke Sauna on a cool day (soooo relaxing!) and had another fantastic dinner at Nebo Restaurant. The little market in North Haven harbor, Amandina’s, was fantastic to supplement the groceries we brought over from the mainland.Rufus was a wonderful host - communicated very clearly, was super friendly, and gave us great recommendations for places to explore. We had a perfect family vacation on Broom Island, and would highly recommend it to others looking for a adventurous island respite.
