Oceanfront Compound

Bring your family and friends to experience the wonders of nature from this idyllic shorefront compound with 2 cottages, (Total Bedrooms: Five bedrooms + Loft) where five generations of kin have gathered to enjoy Mt. Desert Island from its lovely Western Bay. With Squid Cove on one side and Goose Marsh Pond on the other, this secluded 42-acre retreat with two separate cabins is sure to provide for a summer vacation not soon forgotten. From Camp Ouloncuit, watch the osprey fish, the bald eagles soar, and the seals soak up the sun. At low tide, discover the starfish, mussels and sea urchins. And for the more adventurous, run the tidal rapids in your canoe or kayak, or journey further to the bay at the end of Squid Cove. Whether exploring nature, relaxing in a hammock, or just comfortably sitting on the front porch taking in the view, Camp Ouloncuit provides many ways to unwind and recharge.
