About this property
Oceanfront property with spectacular views of Acadia Park and cruise ships.
Set your kayaks directly into the clear blue waters from this creatively furnished home away from home located on Frenchman's Bay, a short drive from one of the world's most beautiful National Parks. Take walks along the secluded beach, collecting shells and sea glass. Wake up each morning to watch the lobstermen bring in their catch, possibly your lunch, right in front of the property where you can see thousands of colorful lobster buoys floating on the ocean. At the end of a fun and active day, you can relax and enjoy wonderful nights out by the fire pit while creating memories with your friends and family, all while you are surrounded by the beautiful scenic landscape that will help you recognize why Maine's wonderful allure has attracted so many people from around the world. Completely redone in 2016, this house comfortably accommodates 9 people and can sleep 10 with a role away bed and is equipped with three full bathrooms. Here you can enjoy easy mornings and cozy nights while maintaining a comfortable inviting living space for you, your friends and loved ones to share.
The newly added second story master bedroom contains a walk-in closet leading to the private bathroom and has a more spectacular views. There is a lovely dining room attached to the kitchen and living room and the other bedrooms are set just down the hall with the other two restrooms. This property has amenities such as the use of two kayaks, a large gas grill and a wide long deck that lets you relax and enjoy the sunset and sunrise over Cadillac Mountain, or watch the cruise ships as they sail into Bar Harbor for the day. Take a walk down the beach where there is an old boat landing on a public beach, or take a short walk up the road to Lamoine State Park to enjoy the activity there, as boaters and fishermen enter and exit the waters of Frenchman's Bay and children play on the play ground.
The property is also available for those special events in the spring and fall if you are looking for million dollar views on a quite 3-acre lot right on the ocean with a walkable beach.

We really enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect. Eric was very accommodating and checked on us to make sure everything was going well for us. The sunrises were amazing!
Everything was perfect! We loved the location and the house had everything we needed. The host was communicative and made sure we had everything we needed.
What an incredible property. The only spoiler is that once you're there, it's hard to leave for all the other activities in the area. We did it all, but our favorite thing was sitting by the firepit and watching the sea birds and lobster boats. The house is immaculate and so well stocked with everything you could possibly need. We really enjoyed this short stay. We'll book for longer next time.
We enjoyed the beautiful view and peaceful environment. This was a perfect place for our family's visit to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. The home was comfortable and had a cool decor. Eric was very helpful and responsive.
Just checked out and had an absolutely amazing stay!!! Could not ask for more! Clean, attentive, wonderful location and so much more. Will definitely stay again.
Great house with nice views! Well stocked and very quick, great communication from the host. We loved the fire pit and having room for all of us to spread out. Very quiet peaceful area
Great view. Great communication. Great stay. Kids spent hours exploring with the tide changes. Easy ride & quiet escape from Bar Harbor/Acadia. Would repeat.
Little Edessa was the perfect spot to relax and reconnect with my family. The house was very clean and beautifully decorated. Gina's paintings added warmth and charm to the home and the American flag adorning the hallway was extra special after learning it's history and what it represents to Eric and his family. We especially enjoyed the beautiful and serene views outside . Ber Harbor and Acadia were only a short ride away and we enjoyed exploring the area and all it's beauty. Eric was a very responsive host and was only a text away to answer any of our questions. I would recommend little Edessa to anyone and hope to come back again in the future.
The house was clean and roomyView and property were excellent. Eric is an outstanding host. Always available for questions or to help. He left very thorough restaurant reviews, area reviews, things to do and see and how the house works. Wonderful relaxing visit !!!
Eric was extremely communicative and made the check in process very easy. The house was very clean, welcoming, and well stocked with all the necessities and then some. Views from the house and property were absolutely stunning!! The location was decent with wonderful eateries nearby and Bar Harbor about 25 minutes away. This is hard to beat!
This house exceeded our expectations in every way. The host, Eric was communicative and attentive. The house was stocked and immaculate. The view was one of a kind and the backyard had our 6 and 10 year old busy for hours. The host left games and things to play with. There is also swings and a little tree house. We enjoyed how it felt like a home with paintings and antiques. The primary suite upstairs was updated and had an even more spectacular view. The beach is nearby to find shells and explore. We will definitely return.
We had a wonderful family week at Little Edessa! The home was perfect for our family of 5 (teens and tween!) and was far enough away to be peaceful but close enough to main attractions to truly enjoy the area. Eric was a gracious and responsive host- we highly recommend!
This is a beautiful place to stay! Pictures are very accurate Eric was easy to communicate with! We loved the fact that we were away from the crowd and could just relax at night with nobody around and just enjoy the quiet of the area! Walked the beach, met one of the neighbors, you felt like you were in your own neighborhood. Eric had everything we needed for a wonderful stay! No complaints at all!
We had a great stay. We gathered our family from FL, PA, and IL and this place was perfect. It was clean, interesting and excellent communications. I highly recommend this place!!
Perfect for larger family or multiple families traveling together. View is awesome

About the host
Hosted by Eric Davidson
We have made the property our home for the last five years. We completely updated the home in early 2015 when we purchased with the plans to stay here for ever. We enjoy sharing our home with visitors to this beautiful area.
Why they chose this property
Everyone that has been here say we have the best views of anywhere they have ever been. From the living room you can see Mt Desert Island, Cadillac Mt, Frenchmen's Bay and you have one of the few walkable beaches at the back yard. The home is warm and inviting and as comfortable for two as it is for nine. We hope you love the house as much as we do.
What makes this property unique
Million Dollar view Fantastic house layout walkable beach two kayaks you can take down to the beach in front of the house where you can paddle out into French's Bay Short drive to Bar Harbor, and Acadia National Forest NO TRAFFIC !!!! Fire Pit in back yard with ocean view, sit and watch the lights of cars coming down Cadillac Mt and more stars than you have ever been able to see before
