Vacation rentals in East Machias

This is the second time we've stayed at this spot - we enjoyed it so much that we went back for more! We really enjoy the location just on the edge of town - quiet and easy walking distance from everything. The home is lovely and Brian is a wonderful host. We'd stay again - and probably will!

Had a great stay! The location has fast entry directly into the park and also to the beach. The instructions and communication were very clear, easy, and made check-in super simple. Great Place and Great Owner to work with. THANKS

Great location. Walking distance to everything in Bar Harbor. No hassle finding and spend money on Parking.

Compass Point is a wonderful place! There were great water views from every window in the living room and dining area. And the water is much closer to the house than the photos convey. It's an incredibly quiet and private spot. The only sounds we heard were gulls and loons calling, the water lapping, and the lobster boats checking their pots. The house itself is well furnished, well supplied, and immaculate. Both Kyle and Alice were terrific communicators -- helpful, but never intrusive. Five stars, the whole way around!

Diwas was alert and responsive. The free breakfast at everyday joes was very good and fresh. We liked Pats Pizza downstairs and the nice bar. All workers at both places very nice and friendly. Loved how close we were to downtown, without being right in the middle of all the chaos. We loved our stay and had a great time. The Airbnb was perfect for us celebrating our anniversary.

This location has a lot of beauty around it. Recommend arriving during the daylight as it is very dark and so you might need a flashlight to find the keys to get in if you come after dark. Might recommend motion sensor lights to help with this but not a huge deal breaker. They describe the door entrances very well but location this place using their instructions could seem a little vague based on how other entrances looked. But my GPS took us straight there with no issues so the description was not a huge deal. We chose to stay downstairs as it had the gas stove and main shower but the beds need a little attention to their frames as they were a little squeaky when laying down or moving any slight movement. The view was amazing and we got some great pictures of the northern lights. We were not there except to mainly sleep as our trip was for business but would have enjoyed this home if we stayed in the area again. If you need several beds, check this place out.

We had an excellent stay here! The apartment was just like the pictures, and we felt right at home. There was enough space to move about, and the apartment was very clean and welcoming. Ruddy was very communicative throughout the stay. The apartment was located in such a convenient spot. I definitely recommend staying here!

I chose Michelle’s cottage because I wanted to be right on coast of ME. And everything-location, cottage, hosts FAR exceeded my expectations. Crossing the creek during low tide was less intimidating under Rose’s superb direction. Cottage had everything needed; was extremely comfortable; quaint and charming!!! PERFECT!!! Lucked out with spectacular sunny, warm weather for mid October. Only one day overcast! Appreciate being able to bring my pup! Hosts were very welcoming and helpful! Enjoyed walking the coast 3-4 times a day with pup! Spoiled by morning visits from grazing deer. Had fun collecting treasures from the sea! Rose was phenomenal and I appreciated all her help and suggestions. Carefully crossing the creek during low tide less intimidating under Rose’s careful guidance. Absolutely LOVED every second there. Am so grateful I got to enjoy and appreciate this slice of heaven. Definitely would recommend. Well worth the 6+ hour trip from my home. Look forward to returning.

We were immediately charmed by this pristine, cozy cottage by the ocean. The view is incredible and the atmosphere relaxed and inviting. Ashley and her hospitality crew are so friendly and helpful. Felt like we had known them for a while! Very difficult to leave this beautiful place.and hope to return someday.
