Relaxation in a slice of Paradise
After the passing of my precious mother - was so in need of a quiet, peaceful reprieve. This property was the perfect place to unwind, relax, and regroup. The pictures - even though they are beautiful, simply don't capture just how beautiful this property is. Everything we needed - and more - was provided. The owner's communication was exceptional. Bedding? comfortable. Dishes and cookware? all that is needed Furniture? variety and all comfortable Views? Exceptional!!! Beach? Enjoyable Neighborhood? Quiet and peaceful Truely - we loved every moment of every day at this lovely property. Make your reservations with confidence... you and your loved ones will LOVE this special location - only a few miles from the formal entrance to Acadia NP. The views from the home, the yard, the beach... all breathtaking!!! Sunrise to Sunset... You will remain constantly in vacation-mode in this amazing setting. HIGHLY recommend!!! and - - we will certainly look forward to returning once again! Our heart-felt thanks & appreciation for a much needed reprieve... until next time... A++++++

Great location!
My wife, my 2 dogs and I stayed at this property for 4 days and we loved it! Definitely more house than we needed but we really wanted to be oceanfront and it was so worth it! My dogs loved exploring the beach at low tide. This property is minutes from downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia and we had no problem finding our way around. Nicole, the host, was amazing and more than accommodating when we had to change our plans last minute. Would highly recommend staying here if you plan to explore Bar Harbor and Acadia.

Acadia Trip
Amazing location! Easy access to park and Bar Harbor but still feels very private. Would highly recommend renting kayaks. Host is very responsive. Would absolutely stay again.

Location had more to offer than the aquatic museums and oceanarium! Spectacular wildlife!
We had THE most wonderful time! We saw seals and fish and bald eagles and two mink all while just relaxing on the dock and beach and around the firepit! Everything was just top notch! My husband and I (the grandparents), our daughter, her husband, and our three curious and nature loving granddaughters (7,8,9) did some hikes and many of the touristy things but we all agreed that the house and grounds and beach had so much to explore that we were very happy just being there! Linens and supplies were abundant! We just didn’t want for anything! We’ve already told all our friends about this wonderful place! Thank you thank you for sharing your treasure!
