Bernard, Maine
Back Beach Cottage sits directly on the sandy shores of Lopaus Point. The private beach is a great place to sunbathe, have a picnic, or take a dip in the refreshing Atlantic Ocean. Explore the rugged coastline and tidal pools or take a short walk to the local lobster pier for lunch or dinner.
Back Beach Cottage offers two bedrooms, one with a queen-sized bed and the other with twin bunk beds. The cottage is completely furnished and equipped with bedding, towels, washer/dryer, and a full kitchen as well as bathroom with a stand-up shower. To add extra warmth on a cool summer or fall night, a Vermont castings woodstove and electric heater are provided. In the living room, sliding glass doors open onto a full deck which offers a spectacular view of the beach as well as an excellent place to socialize or barbecue.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here- highly recommended for a couple or a small family. Waking up to the sunrise over the ocean everyday was amazing! It was great to stay on the “quiet side”. This place has everything you need and the hosts are friendly, helpful, and also give you your privacy. We made wonderful memories here and look forward to a future stay
I would go back to this cottage again. The area has beautiful hiking trails through the woods and along the ocean!
We recently stayed at this rental cottage, and overall, it was a good, memorable experience. Pros: - The most outstanding feature of this cottage is the spectacular ocean view. Simply lovely! - The host was quick to address a minor issue we encountered, specifically a slow-draining sink. Cons: - In the main bedroom, the bed takes up most of the space, making it challenging to move around. - The shower is quite tight, which might be uncomfortable for some guests. Good-to-knows: - The address listed in VRBO is incorrect as of Sept 2023. I wish the host had told us this before we arrived in the dark. You should confirm in advance. - For those seeking absolute tranquility and privacy, it's worth noting that the cottage is close to a dirt public access lane, public beach, and small cemetery. So this means you are likely to hear and see people nearby who are not the hosts. - There is no hot tub/spa whirlpool. As of Sept 2023, I believe these are listed in the amenities.
The location was nice. The house was as described. We were optimistic, but the bunk beds were not quite right for our ageing bodies... Beautiful property, nice beach. Too bad we were rushed out by a hurricane!!!
The property is very well maintain. Everything was great. The owner was very accommodating and could not have been any nicer ! You are going to want to stay longer. Thank you so much!
I have stayed here many times. It’s my happy place in Maine. Right on the water with plenty of privacy. Beautiful, pristine and secluded. The hosts Rusty and Lynn live nearby and couldn’t be better. Make you feel like family. ❤️❤️❤️
We had a great stay at the home which was in a wonderful location – beautiful beach and close to Southwest Harbor. Thanks for hosting us!
Rusty was extremely responsive and helpful, the check in process was super easy, and the view was absolutely beautiful. We loved our stay.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Back Beach. The two of us have stayed there many times. The house itself was great. The view of the water was gorgeous. It was great to relax on a lawn chair or on the beach. Also, the location was perfect- down a country road, just a short ride to Southwest Harbor and to Acadia national Park.
listed essential amenity was incorrect and owner blamed vrbo and vrbo said it was technical issue but no refund for me, also described as private beach but public access is next to property and beach used by whole neighborhood and their dogs
Lovely spot, quiet and relaxed. Great food nearby. Excellent week on Mt. Desert Island!
Enjoyed our downtime here as much as we enjoyed our adventures in the area. Wonderful stay all around.
We are a couple from Germany and had a wonderful week in the Backbeach cottage. It offered everything we needed and Rusty was a great host. The area is just beautiful and there a lot of things to do. We would love to come back.
Beautiful and quiet location yet close (30 min. to Acadia)! Hosts were 5 star! House and grounds well maintained. Best part was being just steps from the water. Watching the sun come up right from the deck or screened in porch, catching the tide rolling in/out and seeing various wildlife. Walking along the water any time with plenty to explore both on site and in the quaint surrounding towns. We've never wanted to return to a VRBO until this gem! THANK YOU for sharing your lovely cottage!
The Back Beach is one of our favorite vacation spots. It is right on the water. The view is beautiful. It is great to use its beach. It is near a number of excellent hikes. We also enjoy just sitting in the chairs on the expansive lawn, and relaxing as we take in the beauty of the area.
The view from a small cottage doesn't get better than this.
Amazing view and prime place to take in the ocean and search for beach glass and relax . Rusty was an amazing host .
Beautiful little cottage. Perfect for a couple or a small family. Lovely place to stay to explore Acadia from and come back to a beach in your front yard for sunset. We enjoyed getting to explore the quiet side of the island and that Thurston's Lobster Pound and Beal's Lobster Pier are right by to eat at. The loft is straight up a ladder so really only for older kids. The rooms are smaller but perfectly cozy and adequate. Rusty is there to answer any questions and has great communication. We also appreciated the washer and dryer in the basement to do laundry.
This cottage was everything we'd hoped. The setting was magnificent. The ocean was our backyard. The hosts were kind and generous. Great, well-supplied kitchen plus a gas grill. It was incredibly quiet save the sound of the water lapping the shore. Everything was perfect!
