Ideal location near Blue Hill, Acadia/Bar Harbor-Ocean Access-Canoe-PaddleBoards

One king master BR, 500sf with private balcony and office area, plus a toddler bed. 1 Queen BR and 1 Fullsize BR, kids' bunk room sleeps 4 in twin-size bunk beds and also has a Fullsize bed. **The home is set up for a MAX of 8 adults. Please INQUIRE with owner before booking if you have more than 10 people (basically, up to 12 is ok if it is 6 adults and 6 kids 12yo and under, otherwise it is too much for the well)**

Open floor plan living/dining/kitchen/tv nook 1000sf. This 2,400sf house is ideal for kids, pets allowed, can even accommodate three families! Private beach access overlooking Acadia/Mt. Desert Island, next town over from Blue Hill arts and food scene, and the other direction to the town of Ellsworth's shopping. Ideal staging ground for your Down East Summer vacation throughout the Penobscot Peninsula, easy day trips to Deer Isle, Camden, etc. Private beach located just a short 300' walk down the private camp lane (the house is located on a little peninsula with about 15 others, providing an idyllic little enclave on Contention Cove, no public traffic). Also, a deep water mooring may be available if you inquire. There is also a shared canon and inflatable kayak.

There is a canoe down at the water which is available to you, and large screen TV w Netflix and Amazon Prime, a dvd plus great high speed internet/wifi make this vacation home both an ideal wooded/ocean access getaway, but also to keep you connected and entertained! We have also found it works very well to have a couple offices set up and supports multiple 'zooming' at once.
