My family really enjoyed the house and the toys for the grand kids. The beach in the back was fun to walk and look at all the sea life that washes up at low tide.
Five Star property for anyone looking for a place close to Bar Harbor, but away from the traffic and crowds. The house was perfect for my extended family’s needs.
Was a great place to bring your family and have a reunion. Close to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. The host was amazing and hospitable with great advice where to go.
My family had a wonderful visit. The location was great. The kids especially loved the beach. Cyndy was very responsive and ready to answer any questions.
Such a beautiful house and property! I was repeatedly amazed at how quiet it was, especially while kayaking. The only sounds were usually the breeze and birds, and nothing else! Cyndy was a great host with many helpful suggestions. Would definitely recommend for a peaceful family getaway. About 45 minutes to Bar Harbour, 20 minutes to Ellsworth for groceries, restaurants, etc.
Our host and the house were absolutely wonderful! The home was beautiful, very roomy and fully equipped and we were able to have a terrific lobster and clam dinner on our last night. Having a private beach was fabulous for our two toddlers as were the toys Cynthia left after asking us the kids ages. She had great suggestions on where to go for sites and food. It was an amazing, relaxing week and we hope to come back again! Thank you, Cynthia! 3
Check-in wasn't quite ready due to the last guests leaving the house full of sand. However the owner texted and communicated that the clean up was taking longer than normal. House was fully stocked with all the essentials such as kitchen ware, toilet paper, bath towels, sheets, blankets, etc. The beach is a short path from the house. Lots of beach combing to do there! We had a handful of perfect seaglass on every walk.
My family had a very quiet and restful stay at this gorgeous house on the edge of the ocean. Yes, we spent some time in Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, but oh the joy of finding the less crowded spots. Tidal Falls, Schoodic Peninsula, and beautiful little harbor towns. We drove to Caterpillar Hill and Grindstone point as the host advised if the park was closed. Learned some history about the area and very scenic. I very much enjoyed reading books at the house with stories about the area from times in the past. Walking to the beach and porch sitting lovely. We watched a porcupine eating leaves up in a tree two days. A full moon shining over the water. So many seabirds, deer, and turkey. We ate at Ruth and Wimpy's, Lunt's, and Helen's. We grabbed lobster stew or seafood chowder whichever little harbor town we found ourselves in. I would recommend this place for any family wanting to experience beloved Maine. We have been coming 40 plus years. The was the very best! We would welcome the opportunity to stay here again.
It was great for or family reunion, a 34 year old birthday, and a wonderful time unwinding. We saw a fox, deer, star fish, chipmunks, squirrels, and a baby bear!
Eleven family members of three generations and three states gathered for a week in this spacious home amidst the wildflowers, immersed in fragrant forest, and steps away from the oceanfront and trails. The house is crammed with interesting books, memorabilia, history--and every utensil one would ever need to cook anything! We began and ended every day on the large veranda overlooking the ocean, utilized the grill and outdoor eating areas, viewed seals in the waters, kayaked, hiked in beautiful Acadia National Park--as well as many other trails amid gorgeous views. Our hostess gave us good info on best places to shop, dine, and rent equipment...and was easy to contact. All of us were sorry to bade this house--which so quickly had bcome "home" goodbye!
We loved staying at this house for our family vacation. The design and antiques in the home make it super charming. We loved the location being on the river and seeing the tides. The host was super helpful and communicated greatly.
Great place for family time. Nice beach to explore, plenty of toys for the children, puzzles to complete during rainy days, house with cozy areas for conversation and alone time, full kitchen to cook anything you can think of especially lobster, reasonable drive to Bar Harbor, and your own place to spend quality time with your family.
A great location for families- very quiet and everything available for all ages. We had day trips daily around Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor but returned to Lamoine each afternoon. Whale watching out of Bar Harbor as well hikes in Acadia made for a great vacation.
This house was everything we could have hoped for: comfortable for three generational family, spotless, private beach, fun surprises in every corner.
Owner was extremely accessible and helpful.
Would return with out a doubt!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and found the house and the beach even more lovely than expected! Very private and picturesque spot. House was clean, comfortable, and inviting. Cyndy was very helpful and a pleasure to work with - thanks for a great week!!
We had a fantastic stay. We were a family of 11, from a newborn to my 77 year old father and everyone was comfortable. We loved exploring the property and beach. We collected mussels for dinner at low tide. Cyndy provided us so many great local recommendations and we really appreciated her hospitality. Hope to return one day!
The home is nestled in the trees and on a private shore. It was very clean we enjoyed sitting on the back porch and the scenery was beautiful. We found sea glass.
Our extended family had the pleasure of staying in Lamoine for a week. We enjoyed the fire pit, collected mussels, and made many memories in this quaint farmhouse. Our host was very attentive and had many suggestions for us during our stay. The location of this house was great for all of our adventures, as we traveled into Bar Harbor and Acadia Park. Everyone, young and old, had a lovely time and we look forward to returning to the area again in the future!
This is a beautiful property hidden in the woods, with interesting waterfront combining both beach and bedrock outcrops (including glacier scour tracks), plus a fire pit and a separate BBQ area. The house is exceptionally well-furnished, especially the kitchen, and had lots of toys for the 3 young kids (ages 2-4) such as the toy kitchen, toddler size slide, stuffed lobsters, etc. The hostess was amazing and super helpful and addressed all of our desires promptly and with a big smile. Literally, it could not have been better.
We had an amazing time at the property. The backyard and Beach area is gorgeous in the fall when we went. The owner was very quick to answer any questions I had and was very good about preparing the home for my 1.5 year old son. My family group of 8 had a fantastic time and I would highly recommend this to a family looking for a quiet New England retreat!

About the host
Hosted by Cynthia Poray
I purchased the land in 1982 and just finally built a house in 2015! am a school teacher who loves the ocean, traveling and spending time with my children and grandchildren.
Why they chose this property
I purchased this property over 40 years ago and imagined spending time with my children and grandchildren looking for sand dollars, sea glass and playing in the sand. My dream has come true!
What makes this property unique
The gradual sandy beach is the perfect place for a beach getaway. Close enough to some incredible attractions (Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor) but far enough away to enjoy a quiet vacation.
