The house sits beautifully between a nice yard and the water. We spent a good amount of time sitting in the chairs that abut the cove. The kitchen was very functional and all the furniture was comfortable to sit on. It was very peaceful and only minutes away from Acadia Park. We enjoyed the coffee bar that was set up next to the bedrooms. We even saw a red fox in the road in front of the house.

This was the perfect “Maine” house located on the water in a beautiful, quiet and serene setting. The house is so well appointed and had everything we needed. We loved all the touches of Maine throughout the house. Our favorite place in the house was upstairs with a great view of the water…complete with a coffee and tea bar! Outside, you will find 4 Adirondack chairs by the water. The location was perfect, allowing us to be in downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park in 10 - 15 minutes. Jacqueline is easily available and quick to answer any questions about the area.

We could not say enough great things about this stay! It was the perfect home base for us to explore Acadia National Park. We enjoyed bonfires by the water, played games around the table, and had amazing views from the large windows. We had 5 adults and there was more than enough room for everyone! It was decorated so cute. Had everything we needed and more! Would stay again in a heartbeat.

In the words of my 13 year old, our stay was, “Charming & beautiful!” In the words of my 9 year old, our stay was, “So amazing! It made me feel so cozy and welcomed! Great for adults and kids!” In the words of my husband, the property was, “Absolutely stunning!” I couldn’t agree more with my family. The property is perfect for a family of 4. The home is a nice mix of classic New England and modern updates. From the backyard, we marveled at the beautiful sunsets, enjoyed bird watching, and gazed in wonder at the stars. We enjoyed walking down to the beach. The property is the perfect spot to explore Acadia as it is very close to Acadia and Bar Harbor, but tucked away from the commotion and people.

This vacation house was the perfect spot for our trip to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. The location made it easy to explore both the park and downtown, while still feeling peaceful and quiet. The home was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We especially appreciated the outside seating area overlooking the water, it made for beautiful sunset views! The host was responsive and made the whole process smooth. We’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

We loved our stay! Check in was a breeze and Jacqueline was very attentive and easy to reach. Kitchen was well appointed. We cooked dinner most nights. The grille and outdoor eating area had amazing views and was very comfortable.Loved being in the backyard. We made s’mores one night in the fire pit. After long hikes in Acadia we put our feet in the cold water. Our boys loved to skip stones along the shore.The house always stayed cool and comfortable, especially for a charming, stately home.Would definitely recommend the property, and will check its availability first on return trips.

Beautiful Waterfront Stay Minutes from Acadia

We loved our stay at this cozy, seaside-themed home just 10 minutes from Bar Harbor. It was perfect for our family of five — comfortable, clean, fully stocked kitchen and right on the water with gorgeous views. The fire pit was a great spot to relax after hiking nearby Acadia trails. Jacqueline, the host, was extremely helpful and responsive, with great restaurant tips. Highly recommend!

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this gem of a house! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking views — the kind that make you want to sit on the perfectly placed chairs and never leave. The home is beautifully designed with a perfect blend of comfort and style. Every detail, from the furnishings to the amenities, made our stay incredibly relaxing and enjoyable.The kitchen was fully stocked, the bedrooms were incredibly comfortable, and every room felt welcoming and thoughtfully decorated. It’s clear Jaqueline has put so much care into creating a space that feels both luxurious and homey. Jaqueline was a pleasure to work with—friendly, quick to respond, and genuinely welcoming.If you're looking for a peaceful retreat with all the comforts of home (and then some!), this is the place. We can’t wait to come back!
