About this property

Private Oceanfront Retreat on Acadia’s Quiet Side, Harbor Views, True Maine

Where the ocean sets the pace, a private authentic world near Acadia Schoodic Point, away from the crowds of Mount Desert Island.

Set on the edge of Gouldsboro Bay in the working harbor village of Corea, this oceanfront home offers something increasingly rare on the East Coast: space, silence, and an authentic connection to the water.

Located on the Schoodic Peninsula, the quiet, uncrowded side of Acadia National Park, this is where those in the know come to experience Maine as it was meant to be: rugged coastline, lobster boats in the harbor, and days shaped by tide, weather, and light.

The home sits on a private stretch of waterfront with expansive views across the bay. Inside, an open-concept living space is designed to bring the outdoors in, with large windows, natural light, and comfortable gathering areas for family and friends.

Five bedrooms, four and 1/2 baths and a luxury sauna comfortably accommodate up to twelve guests, making it ideal for both quiet retreats and meaningful time together. Ideal for families and couples looking to unplug and reconnect, nature lovers who prefer quiet over crowds, and for those seeking an authentic Maine coastal experience.

What makes this place truly special is the oceanfront setting with direct access to the shoreline. Located in Corea, a historic working lobster village, not a tourist town, 10–15 minutes to Schoodic Point, one of the most dramatic and uncrowded areas of Acadia Panoramic water views and ever-changing coastal light. Peace and privacy that’s increasingly hard to find the experience.

Mornings begin with coffee as fog lifts off the bay. Midday might take you hiking the granite cliffs of Schoodic or exploring tidepools along the shore. Evenings are for fresh lobster, a glass of wine, and watching the light fade over the water.

This is not a resort, and that’s exactly the point. There are no crowds, no lines, and no distractions. Instead, you’ll find clarity, stillness, and a deeper kind of luxury, the kind that comes from being somewhere real.

Plan to bring groceries and enjoy cooking-in or fire-up the outdoor grill while enjoying a spectacular sun-set. Weather can be dynamic (fog, wind, sun), part of the Maine coastal experience. Bar Harbor and Mount Desert Island are about an hour away if you want a day trip.

If you’re looking for polished luxury, there are plenty of options. If you’re looking for authentic Maine, oceanfront solitude, and a place to truly rest and reset, this is it. The Haguelnn House has everything Coastal Maine has to offer.

The property was perfect for our family get together. Plenty of space for 11 people to spread out and the views from the deck were amazing. We loved the location, close enough to Acadia but away from the crowds. Our family all agreed we would love to come again and hope to in the future.

The apartment is beautifully decorated with brand new kitchen, bathrooms, and furniture. Three of us were there for a week to do carriage driving in the park. The Nest is 5 minutes from where we stabled our horses.

Coffee on the deck in the morning, cocktails on the deck watching the sunset... with sights of porpoises, seals, bald eagles, herons and flickers in between. The house was everything we hoped it would be. We celebrated two 90th birthdays, and the home works well for those with mobility issues. We cooked a lot; the kitchen is quite functional and well-stocked (we added an oyster knife to the inventory), and the grill was near-new. On the practical front: The two living areas are at opposite ends of the house, which makes it nice if someone wants to read in one while crazy kids cause a ruckus in another. And one comment from another review we heeded - it's very bright early in the am, so sleeping masks are recommended.

This is a wonderful place!

This house is amazing and so close to the water! Our week here was foggy and a little rainy most days but we still enjoyed the quiet beauty, watching the waves and spending time together. The house is well decorated and very comfortable and inviting with plenty of room for all of us. Corea is a quaint little town; we enjoyed the atmosphere. All in all a great visit.

Perfect getaway

The house was beautifully set up for a lovely stay with our family. We had plans to visit some of the many preserve walks that are conveniently located nearby, however the house, beach and location itself was so charming we decided to stay in and enjoy it instead. The views each morning and night was especially breathtaking. We enjoyed seeing seals in the cove and hardworking lobstermen at work, right from the house and deck. The beach was a favorite spot to collect precious stones, and the deck to enjoy sunsets.

Amazing Stay

We went with a group of friends to celebrate a milestone. House has amazing views, plenty of space to sleep, great kitchen and dining area, bbq, etc. We explored the area around the house along the coast which was gorgeous as well. We enjoyed the sunsets and stargazing and all the beautiful rocks and rock formations. One note is that there are no shades anywhere so bring a sleep mask if that’s an issue for you. But we loved waking up to the beautiful view.

Lucky to Be Here During Hurricane Lee

Hurricane Lee added to the magic of staying at this magnificent property. We were a party of nine adults - 4 brothers and spouses on a 9 day sibling trip to explore Maine's coast. Ashley, Debbie and Matt could not have been more concerned about our welfare during the storm. They provided extra supplies and checked on us throughout our stay. The floor to ceiling windows allowed us to witness incredible surf the day of the storm. We could not have had more perfect accommodations for our 4 night stay. Thank you Debbie, Matt and Ashley for our memorable visit at this wonderful property.

Majestic views!

This home is truly beautiful and the view is absolutely breathtaking! Clean, organized, well maintained and decorated. We watched the sunset from the large deck every night and woke up to the stunning ocean views each morning. With floor to ceiling windows, you see everything! We slept with the sliding glass door open and the sounds of crashing waves lulled us to sleep each night. We watched the lobster fishermen pull their traps, as well as seals and many different types of birds. The house comes equipped with everything you need for a great stay!
