Excellent property

The property is clean and well stocked. It’s a little off the beaten path, but still close to what you need. Easy drives to Schoodic Point and Bar Harbor/Acadia.

Perfect Acadia home base

This house was amazing with location right on the bay with staircase direct access, the kids loved exploring the area during low tide. Very easy drive into Acadia/Bar Harbor but with privacy for the end of the day wind down. Owners were very responsive to any inquiries and helped make this a very memorable vacation.

Fall vacation

The Maine Bay house was wonderful. It was clean and had all the space we needed for our group of 4. There was everything thing that you need for preparing meals in the kitchen. The relaxing views and quietness of the location was just what we were looking for. It is an easy drive to Acadia National Park and BarHarbor for shopping and dining. We would love to stay again.

Great House, Secluded Waterfront Location

Beth, thanks so much for letting us share your little piece of paradise for a few days. We enjoyed our stay immensely. Although the distance to the park is a bit far, it took no time at all and the trip the Schoodic side was very convenient. I would recommend your place to anyone wanting a quiet home base with access to everything.

Quite and peaceful

This was a very comfortable home. Nice and clean. Beautiful view. Beds were comfy and place was very clean. Beth was very easy to communicate with. There is a home next to the property. Never ran into anyone and it was peaceful. Would definitely recommend this place if you want to get out and away from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor.
