Location: Bar Harbor, Mount Desert Island, Acadia, Maine, USA (Bar Harbor Road- 4 Miles to the Center of Town) View Map
Accommodations: Private Home, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 5-7)
Treat yourself to time in a tranquil vacation retreat that has 300 feet of private ocean front with a dock out our back door. The home we call the "Avalonia” is located on three private acres and only 2 miles to the entrance to Acadia National Park. The property is peaceful and charismatic, yet is close to all the attractions that make Mount Desert Island one of the most visited National Parks in the USA. This new contemporary house is located on a picturques and protected deep water cove where mussel beds and crabs are waiting to provide your dinner.
We can only accommodate Sunday to Sunday bookings
No matter whether your interest is hiking, biking, kayaking, golfing, shopping or just plain relaxing on your patio just 75 feet to the water edge, the location of this house is ideally situated. We provide a gas grill next to the covered gazebo with table and chairs for a great picnic spot, plus an outside shower (with hot water) for a quick rinse after that cool swim in the salt water.
Attached to the side of our summer home, this unit has two bedrooms, a bath with shower and a large open living room/kitchen. The large master bedroom with queen size bed has its own balcony overlooking Frenchman’s Bay where you can sit on the deck and have morning coffee as you view the Lobster Boats collect the days catch, or keep an eye on the kids playing on the shore.
The second bedroom also has a queen sized bed, two singles and a full size crib. The family room is equipped with futon bed (if needed), cable TV, DVD and WiFi. The ground floor has a laundry room and storage is available in the two car garage.
Family fun and entertainment abounds on the island. The National Park, whale watching, boating, and some of the most fantastic hiking on the east coast is all at your beck and call.
Weekly or multi-week reservations only.
A 50% (non-refundable) deposit is required to confirm your reservation. A separate check of $250 security deposit along with the balance is due four weeks prior to arrival.
