Maine - Island Lodging

Maine island lodgings take visitors as close as landlubbers can get to the seashore, with the helpful addition of comfortable accommodations and, in some places, kitchenettes. It is a wonderful ME lodging option for children and families who want to get close to the sea.

The Tidewater Motel and Gathering Place on Vinalhaven Island is closer to the water than any place that’s not a boat. The Tidewater is built on a bridge; the ebb and flow of the tides provides a soundtrack to your stay as the water flows directly beneath your room, inches away. That same rush of ocean water once powered a granite polishing mill, a blacksmith shop and a grist mill on site.
Here you can sit on your private deck and dangle your toes in the water or lie in bed, open the window, and let the rushing tide’s unforgettable lullaby sing you to sleep. Few views can equal those at the Tidewater and few places are as relaxing. Whether you come to Vinalhaven for work or play, the Tidewater’s cozy harbor side and town side units, some with fully furnished kitchens, will make you wish you never had to leave. Vinalhaven is a great place for kids to vacation, and we welcome families with open arms.
