The large deck is a perfect place to grill or to watch the busy activity on the ocean. Step down from the deck to the shore on a soft pine needle path.

Desert and Acadia National Park.

Summer in Maine! Whatever you have heard is true. We discoverd Mt. Desert Island, Acadia National Park and Southwest Harbor in the 1970's and every summer has been wonderful. So many things to do. Never enough time, so we have to return year after year.

The house is steps from Somes Sound with beach to play, wade and enjoy lots of activity. There are lobster boats working daily. In summer, sailboat races go by most afternoons.
