Bayside Shore Front Cottage Near Bar Harbor

3 generationally together quite comfortably. The house is lovely and spotless. Well equipped kitchen. Comfortable beds. Two nice seating areas. Excellent access to the water for our kayaks. At low tide there’s a great pebbly beach. Convenient to Ellsworth shopping and Acadia for all its activities . Host was very helpful on a few occasions when we had question.

We had a great week at this home. A nice home base for trips into Acadia and Bar Harbor, but also nice to sit by the water and listen to the birds and watch the wildlife. The home was perfect for our needs, very clean, spacious, and comfortable! Thank you!

We loved our stay. I liked the layout of the house better than any Vrbo I've stayed in. Two of the bedrooms have wonderful views and small private bathrooms. The house was great for two couples (what we had) but could easily have been very comfortable for three couples, since the bedrooms are spaced out and all with bathrooms. The house faces west so the view of the sunsets are spectacular! We cooked local seafood every night and found the kitchen equipped enough to do so. There are small stretches of woods between the neighboring houses so the house and beach area feels very private. We loved the creek in the woods emptying into the ocean. And the tides are extreme enough that it was easy to have an evening fire below the tide line. Only blips were minor. Our disappointment that the wood stove in the house was off limits (ie insurance) And there was a neighbor with an unhealthy relationship with his leaf blower on several evenings.

We spent a week in this warm..cozy..homey gem of a house....gramma...my teen daughter and my older daughter and my son in law and my 2 grandkids..8 year twins. It was a perfect fit! We just loved it. Perfect distance away from the business of bar harbor but close enought to go there for dinner if we didnt feel like cooking. We will be back lord willing! Loved it!!! Thank you!!!

My family and I gave been vacationing in Maine quite frequently. We have stayed at many different locations and homes. Bayside cottage is by far our favorite. The home is spacious and immaculate. The location is very private. Acadia and the towns of Mount Desert Island are a short drive away. We rented kayaks and truly enjoyed the water only steps from the home. I can not recommend Bayside cottage enough. I hope to return in the future

The house and property were exactly as described. The water was easy to get down to. We had a lot of fun with the dogs in the water. Also kayaking in the bay. Everything was fairly easy to get to from here. It was so nice that the house was so well stocked with all the basics plus much more for a group of 6 adults. We would all love to come back again. We have also told many of our friends about this house for future vacations in Maine!

We stayed here for a recent family vacation and had a wonderful time. The house is located near Bar Harbor (25 min) and Acadia (20-30 mins, depending on where you're headed). After a day in the park, it was so nice to hang out in the backyard with its beautiful waterfront view. The house was clean and host was very easy to get in touch with. Would love to stay here again and recommend to anyone planning a trip to Maine!

A great place on the water. We saw three seals surface, a merganser with chicks, and many other species of birds. The house was well proportioned for the six of us. We very much enjoyed our week there.

Lovely waterfront setting, we could watch the inlet ice over and get snowed on as the temperature dropped . Well protected from the road by the trees. Easy access to town in about ten minutes The house has pretty much everything you need for a comfortable stay , Lovely cozy interior with lots of space.

The house is beautiful and equipped with anything we needed. The grounds are beautiful, right on the water! Perfect for a group where everyone has their own space but the open space concept in the common area was perfect when we are dining. A wonderful place to be!
