Waterfront Coastal Retreat 4BR3BA w/ Private Cove

4.9 out of 5 average rating, 29 reviews9 months ago

We enjoyed our stay at Ashleys's home. It is a beautiful, peaceful and lovely location, with great proximity to Acadia National Park, Winter Harbor and the Schoodic Institute. Our family enjoyed watching the lobster boats in the morning and noodling around the peninsula. It was a very comfortable space, with a well stocked kitchen and dining area.

Lake House w/ Beach near Acadia

5 out of 5 average rating, 11 reviews7 months ago

We absolutely enjoyed our stay on the lake in the cutest cabin! The host was easy to connect with, answering all our questions with a timely response. Only two pieces of advice; whatever transportation you’re taking make I would suggest a truck with solid suspension. The cabin is on a long rough dirt road and grooved semi-paved, my Elantra wasn’t the smartest option. Second, I would suggest grocery shopping on your way if you want large items and a lot of stuff because Walmart is ~35-40 mins. We had fires every night, it was a little chilly in Sept to swim but we did kayak, and simply enjoyed the peace and quiet of the early Fall on the lake. There is one little country store ~10 mins away that has some last minute grocery items, camping stuff, adult beverages, and a little delicatessen where you can get breakfast stuff and subs - the guy makes a mean hero. At night would cozy up and watch a movie and the beds were crazy comfortable so slept great. We hope to make it an annual trip!!

Eastman's Seaside Cottage with Private Beach

4.94 out of 5 average rating, 68 reviews3 months ago

The views from the entire back of the house are incredible -- especially at sunset!! My family also really enjoyed the wood stove and ample wood supply on the cold, cold nights. The place is cozy while also being big enough to accommodate all of us with room to spare. And we really appreciated being able to visit with our pups!

We had a wonderfully relaxing week at the cottage right on the water! It was cozy and comfortable with all the amenities one needs. Our hosts were very responsive, provided a compilation of restaurants and "things to see and do" in the area - a very useful guide. We had fun exploring our surrounding areas and ate some incredible food! A fun-filled, yet relaxing time away - perfect!! We would highly recommend a stay with Cynthia and Dana! Thank you - - -

What an amazing time I had at this place! I got married to my best friend and we had our families joined together! Everyone cooking every night, beach walks, board games, and fires for when it got a little cold. I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding week! Thank you so much to Paul and Shankari for being wonderful helpful host!

Awesome stay. Stephen was extremely helpful. We had some issues with electricity at night and he drove down to get us sorted out! The place is very serene with a harbour view at the back of the house. Place is clean and comfortable to stay in with good heating during cold nights.

Pilot house

4.88 out of 5 average rating, 25 reviews9 months ago

The description is very clear, this is not a posh hotel. It is clean, comfortable and gorgeous. We traveled with our 11 y/o - she loved it, but I wouldn't recommend it to a family with smaller or rambunctious children. It was incredibly peaceful. The beach was great for finding sea glass. It made a great base camp for exploring the island while not having to fight crowds.

Water Views - Beach Getaway - Private Balcony

5 out of 5 average rating, 13 reviews6 months ago

Perfect studio. Used the jetted tub, nice and relaxing. Lots of extras (new toiletries, coffee, filters, sugar, etc.) much appreciated and used. The view, esp at sunrise, was stunning. Quiet neighbors. The beach store (pizza, sandwiches, salads, coffee and more) was very good. Just down stairs and one building over. (get there early for their muffins) I would certainly stay here again.
