Idle Hour - Dramatic Direct Oceanfront 2 bed 2 bath

Dramatic Oceanfront Cottage with Stunning Views of Acadia National Park!

2 Bedroom, 2 Full Baths sleeps 4 - maximum 6 (new queen sofa bed or hi-rise inflatable air mattress for overflow guests)

Shift into idle in this lovely cottage by the sea. Sleep to the rhythmic sounds of gentle waves lapping on your shore. Prolific wildlife abounds; eagles, loon, osprey and an occasional seal. Sunrises here are some of the most magnificent on planet earth! Her reflection off the sea might even dance across your ceilings if you are an early enough riser and have a desire to connect with the beauty that surrounds you here.

The ocean and all her treasures are right at your footstep with a stunning porch that hangs over the sea and access to some of the finest lobster Maine has to offer just a few doors down at a quint New England, locally-owned, lobster shack. Exceptional panoramic, 180-degree views of Acadia National Park. Conveniently located only 15 minutes from two quintessential New England villages; Blue Hill and Ellsworth for restaurants and shopping. Endless outdoor adventures are to be found in this part of Downeast Maine. Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park are a 50 minute drive. Nearby hiking, boating, horse-back riding, bike riding, mountain climbing, painting, whale watching, fishing, sailing, kayak rentals and more are all available.

FYI if you are coming with small children; this special property is literally right on the ocean. Porch overhangs the water and stairs down to the sea, neither are child proofed. Please take care. That said, the owner's children enjoyed the home since they were wee. Epic Atlantic, typically calm waters for little ones. Also note no play yard. 

This is a non-smoking, no pet vacation rental property.

Relaxing, awesome and beautiful views!
Glad we chose this place to stay for our vacation. The views were wonderful, right on penisula with water right outside our door. Lots of windows so you could enjoy the beauty surrounding you. If we ever visit Maine again this is where we would hope to be.

The View!
This is a top notch spot! You can see the sunrise from your bed and get an amazing view of the ocean. Very clean space, kitchen has all the essentials to cook, and you can walk down to the beach during low tide! We were very sad that Perry’s lobster shack wasn’t open as their pier was being rebuilt but they should be up and running by mid-June. Overall, great place and highly recommend for a relaxing stay!

Great location and view
We had a great time at Idle Hour. The views of the water are amazing. The tides come right up to the house. We saw plenty of birds and even a seal. The house is very clean and well-provisioned. It's a perfect place to get away after spending the day on MDI. We would definitely stay here again.

Our Acadia Trip
We had a great family trip over school vacation. We were about 35/40 minutes to Acadia and we went and adventured there each day. The view from this property is unmatched. It’s quiet, peaceful, and exactly what our family needed!
