Great beach house for a small family or a couple on the quiet side of the island. You can't beat the views of the ocean. Close to Acadia National Park, very convenient.

I would definitely rent again. That should say it all. A few little quibbles. As other commenters said the bedrooms and shower are tight. So if you have mobility problems or are on the large side it may be an issue. I’m over 6 feet and run about 250lbs and the shower was a challenge. But, like the bedroom, it was perfectly functional. I wasn’t up there to sleep or luxuriate in spa like bathroom. View is as fantastic as described. The kitchen is modern. The living room is fine. Host is very friendly. Restaurants, Bar Harbor and Acadia park are all within easy driving distance. I hope I can rent it again.

We loved our stay here. We explored the island every day with only one day of rain. But the view here never gets old. You can watch the ferry to Swan's Island go by all day long. Simply said, it's lovely and we miss it. We were able to walk the beach each morning and evening and launched our kayak right out front. We kayaked out to Bass Harbor Lighthouse and other places. Rusty, the host, was a wonderful man who made our stay feel very comfortable. Thanks for sharing this wonderful place with us! We were sad to leave and will be back :)

Amazing location! Beautiful quiet beachfront on a working harbor, we watched the lobster boats go out & return daily. A little village with restaurants & shops nearby; Acadia's wonders only 15-45 minutes away. Birds & deer galore. Couldn't have asked for anything more!
Front yard view after the only rainy day of our visit.

Great Place!!

This was our second stay at Beachside and it was just as great as our first! The location is amazing and the house has everything you need. Rusty, the owner, is very friendly and easy to contact if you need anything. A great “home base” but also just a great place to spend a day at as well. Looking forward to staying again!

Perfect Maine Home

We had a wonderful month-long stay. The setting is always spectacular, the home had everything we needed and the host was always nearby happy to help. Having a walking beach right outside your door was a treat. Highly recommended for those looking for a quiet place with a view.
