Beautiful property!

We loved the house for our vacation to Bar Harbor. The location was fantastic to explore Acadia and all of Mount Desert Island. The view of Eastern Bay is fantastic and we loved using the kayaks along the shoreline. We saw seals, porpoises and eagles! We definitely want to return!

Great location and home

Great location for anyone looking to enjoy the beauty of Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. The sauna was amazing as was the ability to take a morning cold plunge in the cove! We loved that the house was so well-stocked with toilet paper and paper towels - a real rarity! Plenty of space for two families to be together (or stay separate, when desired). We had a wonderful time.

Lovely home away from home

This lovely house on the water was the perfect place for our group of 3 couples. It is near enough to Bar Harbor for convenience but in a secluded spot on the bay a few miles away. The house itself has great light and a splendid view of the bay and included are ample supplies of necessities for the bathrooms and kitchen. It was the perfect home base for our exploration of MDI.

This home in amazing; it exceeded our expectations! Our family has had such a blast. The home is so well designed, and was a perfect fit for our five, but was larger and would accommodate a second family (traveling together) as well. There is storage exactly where you need it, the flow of the home is great, and all the operable windows are wonderful. The screened-in porch was an added bonus. The ocean-side property was truly unique. I can't say enough good things about it. Check-in/check-out was seamless, and communication with property manager was just as easy.

We had a family reunion at the house and everything was just perfect for our group of 6 adults. The house itself, its location and all the amenities... everything that we had hoped for. Communication with our host Janice was excellent. We will definitely recommend this property to our friends and other family members. Thank you for making this a great stay!

Great leaf-looking experience

3 couples stayed here to take in the fall colors and Acadia National Park. This is a PERFECT place for 3 couples, with the master suite on the ground floor (with awesome 3-person sauna and 1-person whirlpool tub), and 2 suites upstairs each with their own bath (can definately hold more, but it was perfect for our group). Easy 7 mile drive to downtown Bar Harbor or 4 mile drive to Acadia. House is well appointed, great kitchen and beautiful great room with awesome view. We also enjoyed our morning coffee on the screened-in porch. Janice was quick to reply to our questions. Loved our stay!

We had an amazing family trip at this beautiful property. Honestly, the pictures do not do it justice--we all ooohhhed and aaahhhhed when we pulled up to the house and continued as we explored the interior with beautiful views of the water. Everything is impeccably maintained and so well-appointed. We had everything we needed in terms of kitchen equipment (we cooked for 6 every day) and linens and there's enough space to do things together (like games) and have solo time in peace. We chose this property because of the location (on the water, very close to Acadia/Bar Harbor), amenities (kayaks that we used almost everyday), space for our family, and peaceful site. I cannot recommend the property enough and our host was helpful, prompt getting information to us, and professional. Such a wonderful vacation spot!

We stayed at this beautiful home recently for our trip to Maine. The home is equipped with everything you could need or want for a vacation stay, the owner has thought of everything! Each bedroom and bathroom was beautifully decorated, and the linens were top-notch. There is a separate enclosed porch beside the deck, which was perfect for relaxing, reading and taking in the incredible view of the water in our backyard. We loved to sit on the deck to play cards, eat, and drink our coffee while listening to the wind rustle through the leaves all around us, it was magical. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and we loved the easy access to the shoreline below the property. This property is close to Acadia national Park, making our daily outings stress-free and time efficient. It is close to downtown Bar Harbor, restaurants, and shopping as well. Janice, the owner, was super responsive with any communication we had and was so helpful. We highly recommend this beautiful home and would 100% return should we get back to Maine.

Magnificent Maine Oceanfront House

This house is amazing. I have rented a lot of VRBO houses and this might the best ever. The location was perfect for relaxing and quality family time. We used the house as a home base to spend time hiking in Acadia National Forest and time in Bar Harbor. After busy days it was so nice to return to this lake house. We cooked in every night for dinner using the grill and the fully stocked kitchen including preparing a lobster dinner. The waterfront provided for great views, kayaking and exploring for shells. Thanks again Janice for sharing your little slice of heaven with us. So many memories I am tearing up just thinking about them!

Better than expected

The listing does not do the house justice! It’s a perfect home with plenty of room for our family of 8. The waterfront location was perfect and the long driveway made the home feel secluded even though it’s right off the highway. The sauna was perfect at the end of a chilly rainy down outside. Our only complaint was that there was no dustpan for sweeping and the vacuum in the closet didn’t seem to work well. Our hosts communicated with us very well prior to our trip so we had no issues whatsoever. Would highly recommend this home.

This ocean side home exceeded our expectations. Every aspect was like being at home, with all amenities and details included. We love when the host offers little details like tape, batteries, tools, flashlight, etc. in case it’s needed. The peaceful beachfront lot is remote and wooded; we saw deer and ducks every morning. We heard nothing but nature! Kayaking was a blast during low tide! The wood burning fireplace was a great aesthetic during chilly October nights, and the sauna felt awesome at the end of a day outdoors! Cooking and eating was convenient with a well stocked kitchen filled with plentiful bake, cook, and dishware. A eight person dining table allowed us to eat and play games together as a family. The large kitchen and dinette was a gathering spot every morning for coffee and grazing. The bedrooms were spacious and the mattresses firm and comfortable. So many windows! The sunshine and views were not wasted! Using the garage was a huge benefit for loading and unloading, and keeping our bikes clean and dry. The key lockbox and garage openers made entering and securing the property seamless. Janice was a fabulous and knowledgeable host, communicating early on with details of the house and surrounding area, and ensuring our visit to Bar Harbor was the best possible experience. We would highly recommend this property to anyone who enjoys quality, comfort, and a central location while visiting MDI.

This property was the perfect stay for my annual summer week with my daughter and fourteen year old granddaughter. We each had our personal spaces - including bathrooms - a gorgeous view of the cove and comfortable shared space. We were in awe of the scenery and wildlife right in our own backyard. The house is just perfect!! We could not have selected any other rental that was so accommodating and equipped. My granddaughter is a "rock hound" and spent hours by the water looking at rocks and finding sea glass. One outstanding find was the bottom of a Karo corn syrup glass bottle that had patent number of 1952. She was ecstatic!! We were close to all of the sights we had on our "to do" list - Acadia National Park, Bar Harbour and Jasper Bay. We always felt like we were coming home when we returned. Thank you, Janice!! We loved every minute!!

Wonderful Home and Location

This rental is absolutely perfect if visiting Acadia National Park or the Bar Harbor area. The home is beautiful, clean and well stocked. The location is perfect for touring around and being on the Eastern Bay is a bonus!. Communication with the owners was great and very easy. I highly recommend this rental and do hope to stay there again if I have the opportunity.
