Wonderful house in an incredible location!

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!

Perfect family hide-away vacation spot

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.

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.

Pictures don’t do it justice

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!

Acadia Gem

This property is in a beautiful setting on the water. The house was equipped with everything we needed. Well stocked kitchen, bathrooms, toys for the kids and relaxing chairs on the porch. We loved being a little bit "out of town" and having our own beach and water view. The owner goes above and beyond to share favorite places to eat at, to see and to explore. Communication was top notch and very easy. She responded almost immediately every time I reached out to her. We would highly recommend this house and will visit again if we return to the Acadia area.

Summer in Maine

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.

Amazing rental property...perfect place for the family

We have rented many VRBO properties over the years, but we agreed this one had to be right up there near the top. There were 8 of us...4 adults, four kids (18 mo-10 years). There was plenty of space and I can't emphasize enough: location, location, location! Our grandkids played on the long beach every day, eager to find out what new types of creatures / shells the tides had brought in. For the adults, just looking out on the view (from inside the home or from an Adirondack chair on the back deck) of the Mt. Desert Narrows was relaxing and beautiful. The home was comfortable and seemed to be made for exactly the type of family vacation we enjoyed. We saw all sorts of wildlife, including chipmunks, deer, and foxes. The owner was more accommodating than any other VRBO owner we have encountered. Once she realized what ages our grandkids were, she helped us by finding and loaning rubber boots (for the beach), a baby stroller, stair gates, many toys, and so forth. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. I'll add that the whole place is just that--comfortable. The owner even set up a baby bed for the 18 month-old. She recommended good restaurants in Ellsworth, MDI, etc. The road into the property is unpaved and goes through woods, but that helps make sure things are peaceful and quiet (at least until the grandkids woke up) for your visit. It's an easy drive into Bar Harbor and/or Ellsworth from this location. Overall, I'd have to give it an A+++++!

Over & Above

Not only was the rental amazing (spacious, right on the water, authentic) but Cyndy went over and beyond what we could have expected. Let us check in two hours early and brought us pizza! We've never experienced service like that in these type of rentals. We definitely will be back as soon as we are able! Thank you!

Awesome property for family vacation

Home was perfect for a 4 generation vacation. Cynthia was such a great host making sure we had everything we needed for our stay. If we had questions about anything she was quick to respond. We loved all the family space and toys to entertain the little one. The firepit near the water was wonderful, beach views to wake up to... can't say enough about this home and Cynthia. Thank you and can't wait until next visit.

Perfect Maine Getaway

This welcoming home was private, spacious and impeccably clean. Our family of 10 enjoyed the private beach in front of the home, the beautiful views, beach combing , kayaking and much more. The immediate area offered plenty to do and supermarkets and restaurants were nearby. Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor were awesome and they were about a half hour away. The kids loved all the toys and the piano in the house. Our hostess was extremely helpful and well informed about the area. Highly recommended.

Family Vacation

Really enjoyed Cyndy's place! It worked very well for 10 of us - 6 adults and 4 kids (ages 6-11). The private beach was lovely and despite the cold ocean water our kids played, hunted for creatures and even went for (quick) dips. Great proximity to Bar Harbor and Acadia and it took us about 20-30 min to reach those areas. Bar Harbor was BUSY (we were there in August) and after navigating the crowds and congestion it was so refreshing to return to this tranquil setting. The house is comfortable and family friendly (lots of kids toys and games). Cyndy is so helpful, communicative and always available to answer questions and provide suggestions for those not completely familiar with the area. Would definitely like to stay here again if we return to the Bar Harbor area.

Great Family Vacation Spot

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!

The home was beautiful and well maintained. Anything to help your stay be comfortable was available for your use. Our host was available for anything that we needed. She gave us information on where to go and what to see. The setting, secluded on a beautiful cove, was so serene and beautiful. Every morning and evening we go down to the beach watch the seals and wildlife and found starfish, shells, clams, etc. So many memories we made.

About the host

Hosted by Cynthia Poray

Host profile image
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.
