About this property

Bird's-Eye Harbor Views: On the Quiet Side - Deck

Phoenix Aerie offers a rare blend of industrial history and modern comfort. Set on the upper level of a historic maritime building, the home’s elevation rewards guests with a bird’s-eye view of the harbor.

Designed for both family gatherings and corporate stays, the seamless flow between the open living area and the large wraparound deck offers an ideal space to enjoy the Maine coast in style.

LIVING & ENTERTAINING
The heart of the home is designed to bring people together, while the cozy living room is perfect for a movie night on the Smart TV with streaming only access. The “real” living room and the place to be is on the massive wrap around deck where you can take in the views and watch all the comings and goings over the water.

The open concept living area features panoramic windows overlooking the harbor and reliable high-speed Wi-Fi with extenders throughout. Please note the decorative stone fireplace while beautiful, is nonfunctioning and is not for guest use.

KITCHEN & DINING
Built for entertaining, the fully stocked kitchen features full-size modern appliances including a refrigerator, oven and dishwasher where you can unleash your inner chef.

When it comes time to eat, gather around the family sized dining table with gorgeous views out over the harbor and make traditional lobster bakes a highlight of your stay. The kitchen comes fully prepared with a coffee maker, toaster and all the essential cookware and dinnerware for your group.

BEDROOMS
The home sleeps up to nine guests across four spacious bedrooms. The layout is ideal for families, particularly in the Family Wing where bedroom four is accessed by walking through bedroom three.

The primary suite offers a queen bed, private skylight and ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom is a comfortable queen guest room, while the third and fourth bedrooms provide a flexible wing with high quality linens and airy coastal decor throughout.

BATHROOMS & LAUNDRY
With two full bathrooms, including a primary ensuite and a central family bathroom both featuring tub and shower combos, the home easily accommodates large groups. A full laundry suite with a side-by-side washer and dryer is also tucked away for your convenience with complimentary laundry detergent.

We provide essential toiletries and plenty of soft, fluffy towels to keep everyone feeling fresh during their stay.

OUTDOORS
The wrap around deck is the true highlight of the home and is the ultimate spot for sunrise coffee or an evening unwind with eastern panoramas out over the harbor and the peaks of Acadia.

This space is fully equipped for entertaining with a gas grill for alfresco lobster bakes and classic Adirondack seating designed for evenings watching the lobster boats return to the harbor.

Why they chose this property

Experience the "Quiet Side" from a piece of Maine history. Phoenix Aerie isn’t just a place to sleep; it’s a front-row seat to the authentic rhythm of a working maritime village. Originally a historic lobster packing plant, this elevated loft has been reimagined as a modern, sun-drenched sanctuary. While Bar Harbor bustles with crowds, here in Manset, you can breathe. Start your morning with coffee on the wrap-around deck, watching lobster boats head out to sea against the backdrop of Acadia’s peaks. The blend of industrial character and coastal comfort provides a basecamp that feels both storied and fresh.

What makes this property unique

Bird’s-Eye Harbor Views: Perched on the second floor, you enjoy panoramic views of the water and the mountains of Acadia National Park that most ground-level properties simply can't match.

The Ultimate Entertainment Deck: The "real" living room is the massive outdoor wrap-around deck. Equipped with a gas grill and Adirondack seating, it’s the premier spot on the island for an authentic Maine lobster bake at sunset.

Walkable Village Life: Forget the car for a while. You are just a 5-minute stroll from the Manset Town Pier and the free Island Explorer shuttle, giving you easy, stress-free access to the entire national park.

Flexible Family Layout: With four bedrooms—including a unique "Family Wing" perfect for parents with children—the home offers communal spaces for gathering without sacrificing the comfort of a full-sized kitchen and laundry suite.

Reliable Remote Work Hub: Stay connected even on the "Quiet Side" with high-speed Wi-Fi and extenders throughout the home, making it an ideal choice for "workations" or corporate stays.
