Oceanfront home on private island with amazing view & beach access - 1 dog OK

Island House

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Stunningly situated on a private island in Hancock that's accessible by footbridge, this tranquil oceanfront home enjoys spectacular views of Mount Desert Island and the coast of Downeast Maine. This is a place to relax, unwind, and spend your days exploring the many beauties of Acadia National Park.

This island retreat is located between two former lobster pounds (no longer in use) on Mount Desert Narrows, where low tides expand a rocky beach that sits just below the deck. When the water is clear, you can sometimes spot the resident crustacean, Leonardo da Pinchi, in the larger pound; when the weather is clear, you'll be treated to some of the best stargazing in Maine.

The home's interior is just as serene as the setting, offering natural wood planking, large windows, and views of Mount Desert Island from the living room and primary bedroom (as well as the deck). In between day trips to Acadia and Bar Harbor, you can curl up with a good book in the oceanfront living room or use the kitchen appliances and the gas grill to prepare homemade meals. Each evening, simply toss the day's clothes in the washer/dryer, choose a movie to watch on the smart TV, and set up a board game in the dining room overlooking the water.

The home was amazing and we had everything we needed. The walk on the pathway to the cabin was like walking in a enchanted forest. The sunsets and sunrise are spectacular! We saw seals, lobster boats, and dolphins while enjoying the deck. Highly recommend this property and we would definitely stay again.

This is a beautiful home in a fantastic location! The views of Cadillac mountain from the deck are amazing. The boardwalk over the water and to the island house is charming! The wagon provided made transferring our belongings a breeze. We recommend Zeppa's Pizza, the Union River Lobster, and the Riverside Cafe for dining options.

Beautiful location

Beautiful home in an even more beautiful (very private, secluded) location! We enjoyed watching the seals in the bay, watching the lobster boats, and crab hunting all from the back deck! Beautiful brand new kitchen! Very easy check in and out process. Would definitely rent again.
