Perfect for 6 adults! Well-stocked kitchen for the nights we cooked. Purchased lobster off the dock. 3 trips into Bar Harbor/Acadia. Just wish I had more familiarity with the area; shopping, restaurants, etc.

At home at Homeport

Loved the location on the water and the ‘quiet side’ of the island. Comfortable home with easy communication with owners. Use of row boat and kayaks was fun for the whole family.

Awesome home. Plenty of room for 5. Very clean& kitchen fully equipped with everything we needed when cooking in. The view was beautiful. Teenage grandson & his dad enjoyed the kayaks. Great location to hike, fish, & just sit & enjoy Maine! Options nearby for restaurants. Can drive 30 minutes to Bar Harbor for shopping in the many souvenir shops though there is a cute one walking distance from the rental. We bought groceries in Ellsworth on way in but local supermarket is also available. My husband has a difficult time with beds but said the king downstairs was amazing & that says a lot! Teenagers said upstairs twin mattresses were hard but they managed just fine. Gas grill for cooking out. If we come back to this area we would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!!

Lovely Quiet Place on the Quietside

We really enjoyed our week in this lovely, quiet place. The views were amazing, the deck was perfect. The inside was very clean and nicely decorated. We slept like babies. We spent a lot of time on the water - a tour, the ferry to Swans Island ... hope to return.

Beautiful house and location

We stayed for a week. The house and location was beautiful. We used the kayaks a few times. We spent most of our time in Acadia NP (~35 minutes depending on which entrance you go to). Also about 30 minutes from Bar Harbor.

Outstanding harbor house!

We all thoroughly enjoyed absolutely everything about this property! Location was fantastic! Just a short trip to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. Lots of hiking, great restaurants. View from the deck was wonderful! Kitchen fully equipped, great grill! The one and only thing we can mention are the twin beds in third bedroom....difficult to sleep on.

Home Away from Home

This property was very clean, well equipped, comfortable, and the location was perfect. Stacy was easy to communicate with. Im sure there were many other properties in the area that we could have chosen for this vacation, but I can't imagine they could have been any better than this home. They even offer their guests live Lobsters to cook! Our thanks to the Stanley family. This vacation gave us a welcome relief from the Texas summer. Wish we could have stayed longer.

The Ideal Acadia Getaway

The harbor was such an unbelievable setting to take in from the back deck, especially at sunset. A five-minute walk to Thurston's made dinners very easy. We ate there every night. There are plenty of great hikes and sights to take in that are a 10-15 minute drive away and your main Bar Harbor and Acadia attractions are only 30 min away. Would definitely recommend staying here.

About the host

Hosted by Stacy Just

We are natives of MDI with 3 businesses that we operate. In addition to our eight rental properties, Steve is a master electrician with 6 or more employees and we operate a real estate firm with 7 agents. Our 2 children are grown and 4 grand children are almost grown. We enjoy boating the Maine coast, kayaking the local waters and walking the trails here on MDI. Our home away from home is Sarasota FL where we purchased a rental property at the Palm Bay Club on Siesta Key. For a warm retreat in the cold of winter reserve a vacation at our FL condo, palmbayclub.com unit 360.

Why they chose this property

Our location on the water on the quiet side of MDI is only 25 minutes from the hustle and bustle of down town Bar Harbor on a day when the cruise ships are in. Entrances to the park are within 2 miles and Thurston's for lobster and Back Beach are within 1/2 a mile. The village of SW Harbor is just 3.6 miles from Bernard Rd where you'll find shops, library, banks, Gilley Museum, art shows on the green and restaurants.
