Oceanfront Private Beach! Family friendly, Multi-Generational House by Acadia!

My family really enjoyed the house and the toys for the grand kids. The beach in the back was fun to walk and look at all the sea life that washes up at low tide.

My family had a very quiet and restful stay at this gorgeous house on the edge of the ocean. Yes, we spent some time in Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, but oh the joy of finding the less crowded spots. Tidal Falls, Schoodic Peninsula, and beautiful little harbor towns. We drove to Caterpillar Hill and Grindstone point as the host advised if the park was closed. Learned some history about the area and very scenic. I very much enjoyed reading books at the house with stories about the area from times in the past. Walking to the beach and porch sitting lovely. We watched a porcupine eating leaves up in a tree two days. A full moon shining over the water. So many seabirds, deer, and turkey. We ate at Ruth and Wimpy's, Lunt's, and Helen's. We grabbed lobster stew or seafood chowder whichever little harbor town we found ourselves in. I would recommend this place for any family wanting to experience beloved Maine. We have been coming 40 plus years. The was the very best! We would welcome the opportunity to stay here again.

Unique location and perfect setting for enjoying Maine. We had a great stay!

Such a beautiful house and property! I was repeatedly amazed at how quiet it was, especially while kayaking. The only sounds were usually the breeze and birds, and nothing else! Cyndy was a great host with many helpful suggestions. Would definitely recommend for a peaceful family getaway. About 45 minutes to Bar Harbour, 20 minutes to Ellsworth for groceries, restaurants, etc.

Check-in wasn't quite ready due to the last guests leaving the house full of sand. However the owner texted and communicated that the clean up was taking longer than normal. House was fully stocked with all the essentials such as kitchen ware, toilet paper, bath towels, sheets, blankets, etc. The beach is a short path from the house. Lots of beach combing to do there! We had a handful of perfect seaglass on every walk.

Five Star property for anyone looking for a place close to Bar Harbor, but away from the traffic and crowds. The house was perfect for my extended family’s needs.

Was a great place to bring your family and have a reunion. Close to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. The host was amazing and hospitable with great advice where to go.

Our host and the house were absolutely wonderful! The home was beautiful, very roomy and fully equipped and we were able to have a terrific lobster and clam dinner on our last night. Having a private beach was fabulous for our two toddlers as were the toys Cynthia left after asking us the kids ages. She had great suggestions on where to go for sites and food. It was an amazing, relaxing week and we hope to come back again! Thank you, Cynthia! 3

Eleven family members of three generations and three states gathered for a week in this spacious home amidst the wildflowers, immersed in fragrant forest, and steps away from the oceanfront and trails. The house is crammed with interesting books, memorabilia, history--and every utensil one would ever need to cook anything! We began and ended every day on the large veranda overlooking the ocean, utilized the grill and outdoor eating areas, viewed seals in the waters, kayaked, hiked in beautiful Acadia National Park--as well as many other trails amid gorgeous views. Our hostess gave us good info on best places to shop, dine, and rent equipment...and was easy to contact. All of us were sorry to bade this house--which so quickly had bcome home goodbye!

For the second year in a row we stayed a week at Cyndy's wonderful home on the Lamoine Narrows. Just as a lookahead, I can tell you that our grandkids are already asking if we can go back again next year. That's how enjoyable the experience was/is.There were eight of us, and the house easily accommodates our crew.Because Cyndy and her husband created this for her family, it's very family-friendly. You can relax and feel at home.The kids spent many hours, walking the beach, fishing, watching the wildlife, and picking up pretty rocks, sea glass, and sea shells. Cyndy was kind enough to loan rubber boots in lots of sizes.Each time the girls would come back in from a beach excursion, they were giddy from all the sea glass they had found.We got to see a bald eagle eating his dinner on the beach. A big porcupine visited us twice, and the kids were able to observe him from maybe ten feet away (he was up in a small tree, dining). Turkeys were common on our drives to town.The home is located within 25 minutes of Ellsworth, about the same to Hancock, 15-20 to MDI, 30 to Acadia National Park, and maybe 35 minutes to Bar Harbor. So there are many great places to explore, shop, and dine close by. There is a small grocery store within 15 min.Cyndy is the best host we've ever had with VRBO (and we've had a LOT). You cannot go wrong with this rental for your family, your vacation. I'm sure we'll be back.Note: the entrance road has been greatly improved.

My family had a wonderful visit. The location was great. The kids especially loved the beach. Cyndy was very responsive and ready to answer any questions.

It was great for or family reunion, a 34 year old birthday, and a wonderful time unwinding. We saw a fox, deer, star fish, chipmunks, squirrels, and a baby bear!

We had nine family members and it fit us comfortably. It was spotless & our hostess was wonderful.

This is a beautiful property hidden in the woods, with interesting waterfront combining both beach and bedrock outcrops (including glacier scour tracks), plus a fire pit and a separate BBQ area. The house is exceptionally well-furnished, especially the kitchen, and had lots of toys for the 3 young kids (ages 2-4) such as the toy kitchen, toddler size slide, stuffed lobsters, etc. The hostess was amazing and super helpful and addressed all of our desires promptly and with a big smile. Literally, it could not have been better.

Perfect house and property for our group of 11. Lots of privacy, lots of room in the house. Cyndi is so friendly and welcoming.

Great place for family time. Nice beach to explore, plenty of toys for the children, puzzles to complete during rainy days, house with cozy areas for conversation and alone time, full kitchen to cook anything you can think of especially lobster, reasonable drive to Bar Harbor, and your own place to spend quality time with your family.

We had a fantastic stay. We were a family of 11, from a newborn to my 77 year old father and everyone was comfortable. We loved exploring the property and beach. We collected mussels for dinner at low tide. Cyndy provided us so many great local recommendations and we really appreciated her hospitality. Hope to return one day!

This property is in a beautiful setting on the water. The house was equipped with everything we needed. Well stocked kitchen, bathrooms, toys for the kids and relaxing chairs on the porch. We loved being a little bit out of town and having our own beach and water view. The owner goes above and beyond to share favorite places to eat at, to see and to explore. Communication was top notch and very easy. She responded almost immediately every time I reached out to her. We would highly recommend this house and will visit again if we return to the Acadia area.

This house was everything we could have hoped for: comfortable for three generational family, spotless, private beach, fun surprises in every corner. Owner was extremely accessible and helpful. Would return with out a doubt!
