Roomy waterfront home. Stunning views. Enjoy the Fall colors this October.
Fall is THE BEST season in Acadia - hands-down. Amazing leafy reds and oranges peek between the evergreens all against the ocean backdrop. Perfect sweater-weather temperatures, plus no crowds. A few October weeks still available - 5-day minimum.
Kissick Point is a peaceful and roomy, 4-bedroom home overlooking Union Bay and perched above the shore, providing a stunning 180-degree view of the water and truly amazing, colorful sunsets.

We really enjoyed our stay at this house. We loved being on the water and walking on the rocky beach every day. The house was comfortable and clean and had plenty of space for our group of seven. The owner gave us a great kayak rental recommendation and it was really fun to keep the kayaks at the property and go out on the water every morning. We also had many fantastic wildlife sightings!

So glad you enjoyed your stay! Thanks for sharing your photos! Come back anytime.
This house exceeded our expectations. It is even better in person than it looks in the pictures. Really! The views are gorgeous, the lot is private, the rooms are all lovely. Everything was clean, the kitchen was well-stocked for cooking, and the bedrooms were all comfortable. Also, it was great to have the fenced-in yard for our doggo. And just close enough to Acadia. Really, this house is perfect!

Thank you for your kind review and so happy you had a. Amazing time and the house was perfect for you. Hope you have a chance to come again. Thank you!
One of the best properties we have stayed at. It was clean, the set up was perfect and location couldn’t be better. It was easy to get to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. The kids loved going down to the water at low tide and looking for crabs, rocks and shells. It was easy to get to bar harbor And the views were spectacular!

Thank you for your review. So glad you and your family had a wonderful time!
Our family had a fantastic time at the house enjoying the beautiful views from the back porch of the bay and wildlife. The house worked great for our party of 10, including a wide range of ages from grandparents down to an infant. The property was clean and well stocked for our stay.

My son and I had a wonderful vacation in Ellsworth and Acadia. This house is beautiful and very comfortable. Everything we needed was there. The location is perfect and so beautiful. The kitchen was well equipped to cook some meals during the week we were there. Daria and Scott were wonderful to rent from. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home. We would go back in a heartbeat.

Awesome property. Sept 6 - 13 lots of room for seven adults. Views were great lots of wildlife especially birds. Even had an immature bald eagle land about 100 feet from us while sitting on the steps going down to the water. House was well appointed and very comfortable. Centrally located to many attractions. Secluded and peaceful for a large group highly recommended.

Hi Michael - thank you for such a nice review. Glad to hear the home was comfy for your group. Jealous about spotting the bald eagles, and we're so glad you got to see them! Welcome back anytime. Best, Daria & Scott
We enjoyed our stay away from crowded bar harbor. It was about 30-40 minutes drive to all the Acadia National Park sites. House was clean and well stocked and convenient to stores and restaurants. We spent most of our dinners relaxing at the house away from the crowds. Great sunsets.

Thank you for your review! We are so glad to hear you and your family had a wonderful time. We'd welcome you back anytime!
The location was perfect, nestled in a peaceful area yet close to local attractions like Acadia National Park and stunning coastal views.What I loved most was how accommodating it was for all ages—from the kids who enjoyed the yard and water to the grandparents who appreciated the cozy living areas. The kitchen was well-equipped for family meals, and Kissick Point was an attraction in and of itself.If you're looking for a family-friendly retreat that caters to all ages, this Ellsworth gem is the place to go!

Thank you for your kind words and to hear that everyone in your family found the home and area comfy and cozy! Glad you all had a wonderful stay - come back anytime!
We had a great stay at this home. It was very quiet and had beautiful views of the waterfront. It was the perfect location for quick and easy access to Acadia.
What a beautiful setting! Wonderful water views with the best of Maine on display. Close to Acadia and Bar Harbor and easy access to shopping. Highly recommended for a Maine family vacation.
What a lovely home! The somewhat longer distance from Bar Harbor and Acadia (but still only 30ish minutes) is more than made up for by the solitude and peace this house offers. We stayed for a week and didn't see another soul when combing the beach or kayaking (we rented from The Activity Shop). Gorgeous views and a super well-stocked (everything you need in the kitchen, games, etc.) and comfortable home.

Hi - thanks for the nice review and glad you found the home comfortable were able to enjoy the peaceful beach and kayaking. Welcome back anytime!
The house was perfect for our family group with plenty of space for all of us. Well equipped for preparing meals and convenient to Bar Harbor and Acadia and we also enjoyed downtown Ellsworth . Gorgeous views and beach access. We saw osprey and seals and other water birds. Loved our stay!
Absolutely beautiful location! This was our second stay here in Ellsworth with our family. We enjoyed watching the sunsets, exploring the coast at low tide for treasures, and of course hiking in Acadia. So many cute towns to explore in and around the area too. We had the chef from Provender in town come and cook a meal for us! I highly recommend visiting the restaurant while you’re here. Daria is an excellent host. The house accommodated our party of 9 (7 adults 2 children) perfectly. All beds are comfy and warm, and the kitchen is stocked with all the supplies you need. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Thank you for another lovely stay, Daria!

Cheryl - thank you for your kind review and for posting the lovely sunset photos. It never gets old :-). Glad you all had a wonderful time in the area too. Thank you again!
Cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay! Home was exactly as described. We really enjoyed the privacy of the property, and having our own little slice of heaven right on the bay. Host was communicative and very helpful in every way. Highly recommended!
beautiful location with easy access to Ellswotrh and Acadia NP
Great views of Union River Bay from the house and a nice walking trial to Kiss Point. Our dog loved sniffing along the beach and on Kiss Point trail. Everything we needed was supplied, just had to bring some food. Definitely want stay there again.

Why they chose this property
We think you'll know the first time you sit out on the point and enjoy the sounds of the seals and the changing light as the sun sets. Bring your binoculars for close up views of all kinds of wildlife - including eagles, loons, seals and huge variety of birds.
