About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Oceanfront property with spectacular views of Acadia Park and cruise ships.

Set your kayaks directly into the clear blue waters from this creatively furnished home away from home located on Frenchman's Bay, a short drive from one of the world's most beautiful National Parks. Take walks along the secluded beach, collecting shells and sea glass. Wake up each morning to watch the lobstermen bring in their catch, possibly your lunch, right in front of the property where you can see thousands of colorful lobster buoys floating on the ocean. At the end of a fun and active day, you can relax and enjoy wonderful nights out by the fire pit while creating memories with your friends and family, all while you are surrounded by the beautiful scenic landscape that will help you recognize why Maine's wonderful allure has attracted so many people from around the world. Completely redone in 2016, this house comfortably accommodates 9 people and can sleep 10 with a role away bed and is equipped with three full bathrooms. Here you can enjoy easy mornings and cozy nights while maintaining a comfortable inviting living space for you, your friends and loved ones to share.

The newly added second story master bedroom contains a walk-in closet leading to the private bathroom and has a more spectacular views. There is a lovely dining room attached to the kitchen and living room and the other bedrooms are set just down the hall with the other two restrooms. This property has amenities such as the use of two kayaks, a large gas grill and a wide long deck that lets you relax and enjoy the sunset and sunrise over Cadillac Mountain, or watch the cruise ships as they sail into Bar Harbor for the day. Take a walk down the beach where there is an old boat landing on a public beach, or take a short walk up the road to Lamoine State Park to enjoy the activity there, as boaters and fishermen enter and exit the waters of Frenchman's Bay and children play on the play ground.

The property is also available for those special events in the spring and fall if you are looking for million dollar views on a quite 3-acre lot right on the ocean with a walkable beach.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

We had a wonderful family week at Little Edessa! The home was perfect for our family of 5 (teens and tween!) and was far enough away to be peaceful but close enough to main attractions to truly enjoy the area. Eric was a gracious and responsive host- we highly recommend!

This is a beautiful place to stay! Pictures are very accurate Eric was easy to communicate with! We loved the fact that we were away from the crowd and could just relax at night with nobody around and just enjoy the quiet of the area! Walked the beach, met one of the neighbors, you felt like you were in your own neighborhood. Eric had everything we needed for a wonderful stay! No complaints at all!

This house is the perfect place for a group that can benefit from extra bedrooms and bathrooms while still enjoying cozy together time. I love traveling with extended family, but spreading out is a huge help. My dad got the bedroom with the en-suite. My son and his friend took the bedroom with 2 beds. I took the other main floor bedroom and shared the hall bath with the boys. My aunt and uncle took the upstairs bed and bath which gave them a chance to separate from the herd. The boys loved kayaking right out from the house and exploring the changing tides. It was wild! We played cards at the dining room table. We made pizzas and cocktails in the kitchen. Also, we made several day trips out and about, but the house was a great point to access a lot of great places.

The property was awesome. The four bedrooms accommodated our family of 5 adults very well. The decor was unique and showcased Eric and Gina’s international travels. The location was close enough to Bar Harbor and Acadia NP. The outdoor fire pit area with seating was relaxing with views of the bay.
