About this property
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.

We loved the eclectic furnishings. Rooms were large and were stocked. House and yard were private and the water view was beautiful. If you're looking for something outside of town and enjoy the peace and quiet, this is the place for you.
The view and the proximity to Acadia was what drew us to this property, and it did not disappoint! The ocean view was everything we could have hoped for and the house was super cute. The place has so much character and had all the amenities we needed. Would 100% stay again.
Great place for a weekend getaway!! Lots of games to play indoors and out, huge fire pit, kayaks, and beach combing-was the perfect way to getaway with the family!! Close enough to bar harbor but mostly just stayed and explored the immediate area.
We had a great stay. Exactly as listed, clean and comfortable. Communication with host was very easy-they were only a text away to quickly answer questions.
All 8 of our family agreed this was our best vacation! The house was perfect- so cozy and charming. It had everything we needed and beautiful views. It is also close to everything we wanted to do- hiking, shops, restaurants, etc. We definitely recommend this property and would go back
Absolutely loved this home. Spacious enough for our group of 9 (6 adults, 3 children). The location was quiet and the children loved being able to walk on the beach. Perfect spot between Schoodic Peninsula and Mount Desert Island. Would stay again.
Beautiful retreat, the ocean and Acadia in your backyard!
We loved our stay and found this to be perfect for exploring Acadia and surrounding areas. The property was even nicer than described, with beautiful art everywhere and nicely done fixtures and amenities. Highly recommend coffee on the back deck to watch the tide come in and the lobster boats to go out!
We had a great time playing games, kayaking, fishing, sitting around the fire pit, and enjoying the area. Lovely place to stay with all the comforts of home and gorgeous views to boot! This home has a very private feel to it and you'll love the homey feelings it gives you.
Beautiful, relaxing home and location on the water. Was quiet and peaceful on the outside and welcoming on the inside. Hosts were very helpful and good communicators. Will definitely be recommending to friends and will seek out again next time.
Our family stayed here with our 7 and 11 year old. The kitchen was extremely well stocked and included a lobster/clam pot which we enjoyed using for a lobster bake dinner. The view was lovely and exploring low tide waters was a highlight for the kids. It’s a fun, eclectic home and we hope to return again.
This home is in the ideal location if you enjoy watching sunrise over the ocean, being in nature, staying 15 minutes from a town with everything you might need, staying 30 minutes from the most wonderful National Park, and staying in a very comfortable home with a responsive host.
We throughouly enjoyed this home and our time there!
This property was amazing! Beautiful views, access to the ocean and away from the crowds. It was an easy 40 minute drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor. My children and niece and nephew really enjoyed exploring the tide pools. The house itself is clean comfortable and well equipt. This was an awesome vacation!
Peaceful waterfront home that was great for whole family
We had a great stay -- the location on the water is gorgeous and very private - you can't see any neighbors from the back deck and the stars were beautiful each night. In the mornings we watched the lobster boats come through to check their traps as we had our morning coffee before heading off to Acadia to explore the park. Kayaking off the shore was definitely a highlight and we enjoyed to bonfire pit.
The property was everything we were looking for. My 2 brothers and sister and her husband and their wives were very comfortable and content with the house and location. So glad that we carved out time to spend a week together!!
Wonderful home just as advertised. Tastefully decorated, close to the water, large deck, fire pit.
Eric was very responsive. Easy check in and check out
Lovely, comfortable house on the bay. Pictures are accurate, beds are comfortable, and lots of amenities. The kitchen is fully stocked with cooking staples, spices, and cooking equipment. The house is decorated with beautiful and interesting art work. The owner is helpful and communication is good. Highly recommend!
We had the most amazing week in this beautiful home. Everything was as described. Plenty of room, beautiful sunrises and sunsets. if you are looking for accommodations for a large family, privacy, and beautiful scenery this is your place. our host Eric and his wife have created a beautiful home away from home. My family and I left there with plans to return. We will definitely be booking this home in the future.
We had a great stay! The owner stayed in communication with us. Everything was in the house that you could need while away from home. We went out and bought firewood and made use of the great fire pit. Our time there was very foggy, so we can’t say much about the views. Would definitely recommend the property!
We had a wonderful time at Eric and Gina's place! The location is amazing - right on the bay so you can watch the sunset over the water while sitting by the firepit! It was about a 30 min drive onto Mount Desert Island, so not too bad. The house itself was clean and adorable - tons of fun creative touches! The beds were comfortable, there were lots of essentials like soaps and paper towels and they were super responsive if we needed anything at all. Hihgly recommend!
