Beachside Cottage on Lopaus Point

Great view from the deck of the ocean, bedrooms are a little small, but comfortable. Nice kitchen, screened in porch and a nice deck.

The property was great and the view was absolutely amazing. The public beach access is right next door, but there was not a lot of traffic in and out, and the few people that did come in were pretty calm and quiet, so it wasn’t an issue at all. The bathroom is a little small. My husband and I are on the short and stout side of things, so there was a little bit of a squeeze between the sink and shower to get to the toilet, but nothing unbearable. The rooms are a little on the small side as well, but there is plenty of room in the main gathering areas of the house, so that also isn’t an issue. The deck and side porch are great for sitting outside, and the little beach area is beautiful and quiet. Made for some very peaceful and relaxing evenings of just sitting by the shore and watching the boats and the birds after a long day in Acadia. The host was super nice. We kind of keep to ourselves quite a bit, so we didn’t have a lot of interaction, but he did come over and introduce himself, and he is just the kind of person that from meeting him you could tell he would be kind and attentive if there was anything needed. We loved our time at the property and would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay.

Repeat visitor, and plan on many more. Not sure how to possibly improve on much of anything as far as we’re concerned. As good of a chill vacation as it gets!

Amazing location! Beautiful quiet beachfront on a working harbor, we watched the lobster boats go out & return daily. A little village with restaurants & shops nearby; Acadia's wonders only 15-45 minutes away. Birds & deer galore. Couldn't have asked for anything more!

This was a great place for us. Quiet Neighborhood, right on the water on the quiet side of the island. Just what we were looking for.

Ideal location on Back Beach. The porches (one screened in) are perfect places to sit and watch the tides.

The location is even more beautiful than depicted in the photos in the Vrbo listing. The cottage is also very lovely, well appointed and beautifully furnished. Screened in porch was a delight, as was the expansive deck with 2 wicker and 2 very large comfortable, cushioned deck lounge chairs. And the host was so very gracious and wonderfully hospitiable. Only complaint I have is that although the Queen mattress is wonderfully comfortable, as my grown daughter reported, the lower twin bunk mattress where I slept was waay waay too hard for comfortable sleeping. I'll have to bring an air mattresss to put ontop of it next summer, when we hope to rent this otherwise absolutely perfect MDI seaside cottage again.

Lovely location. Sunrise over ocean and full sunset view a brief walk away. Can easily launch kayaks from town park next door.

Nice cottage at an awesome location. Beautiful views from the cottage and a quiet, calm atmosphere compared to in Acadia Park. It was nice to have the peace to come back to after exploring the area. Bathroom is VERY small and anyone of a larger size would not even fit in the shower, but the inconvenience of the bathroom is made up with the views. Nice to watch the moon sky every night. Just beautiful... bedroom is very tight as well. Nice beach area outside to walk and watch the tide coming in and out. The owner, Russell, came over and introduced himself which was also nice. Very pleasant and accommodating.

We've been coming to MDI for about 20 years, and this was our favorite location yet. The setting could not have been more beautiful. What a treat to be able to walk right out the door and be on the shore! The week we came was mostly cold and rainy, but we didn't even care, as we had such a cozy place to stay. The kitchen was spacious and well-stocked, which made it easy to eat meals at the cottage. Everything was even better than we'd expected from the pictures. Rusty was friendly and available. We can't wait to come back.

This was our second stay at Beachside and it was just as great as our first! The location is amazing and the house has everything you need. Rusty, the owner, is very friendly and easy to contact if you need anything. A great “home base” but also just a great place to spend a day at as well. Looking forward to staying again!

This waterfront cottage is perfectly situated to enjoy morning sunrises over Bass Harbor. The cottage is in a great location to explore Acadia from the quiet side.

Rusty's place is a clean, simple, home in an amazing location. A great base for exploring Acadia, but we also really loved just sitting on the deck and watching the tides, birds, and boats. Bedrooms and bath are definitely small, but living room and kitchen are very comfortable.

Cozy, and close to what mattered to us... Best of the best for hiking, lobster and just chilling! And we did plenty of all three every day! The perfect host, perfect location and perfect vacation!
