I can say now that our second stay was as magical as our first in 2022. The hosts are most gracious, the property is adorable and comfortable, and the views are magical. The pictures they show are completely accurate. A memorable place to vacation!We visited many cute coastal towns and had a delightful visit to Acadia.

This is by far one of my Favorite rentals we have ever been in. It’s absolutely beautiful right on the water. Steve and Carol were fantastic host. They welcomed us when we arrived and gave us a tour of all of the amenities. House was perfect and just as described in the listing. I would stay here again. Clean and so many extra little details that has went into the home. Beautiful sunrise and sunsets. Walking the bay. So peaceful and just what we were looking for. It was a great place to call home for 4 nights/5 days. Right in the heart of Maine. We visited so many great restaurants, hiking trails, Bar Harbor, Baxter state park and some shopping. Highly recommend this place.

19 on the Bay could not have been better! Carol and Steve were wonderful hosts and their place on the water is superb. The house was very clean and well stocked with everything we might have needed. They even supplied fireword and supplies for s'mores by the campfire. We loved sitting outside in the mornings and evenings to watch the seabirds. Our daily kayaking trips on the bay (4 kayaks are available) was so peaceful and we loved spotting a bald eagle, an opsrey with her chicks, and several seals. A whale was spotted in the bay (to which our hosted kindly alerted us) but unfortunately we didn't see it. The location is perfect with only an hour drive to Acadia Nat'l Park, minutes to the Penobscot Narrows Observation Tower (wonderful views) and 25 mins to great restaurants in Belfast. We definately will try to come back to this delightful house on the bay.
