Water's Edge - Oceanfront Home with Water and Acadia Mountiain Views

Water’s Edge was the perfect stay for a perfect week. We arrived the day after Christmas Day’s snow and left the day after New Year Day’s snow. In between we rested in this charming home with sublime views or explored Acadia’s winter offerings on Mt Desert and Schoodic Point.Each morning presented a unique sunrise view from cozy seating arrayed around the large living room windows, perched over stone retaining walls. The home and kitchen had everything we needed plus extra amenities that we enjoyed and local recommendations that we followed. The Owner was thoughtful, inviting, and quick to respond to questions. He made a beautiful setting also a stay with ease. We highly recommend this home for your stay.

Great communication

The view is fabulous - fog, rain, sunshine - the view is the best part of this house. Dean very responsive and helpful (thanks!) and sent very helpful information on the house and the area. Wonderful way to spend Thanksgiving.

Spectacular view and great proximity to many areas we wanted to see. We were able to see Seals, Bald Eagle lots of deer a porcupine and a Ruffled Grouse.

Great view and great house for our stay. Would recommend for anyone wanting to see Acadia National Park and the surrounding area.

We loved our stay at the Water’s Edge! There was plenty of space for us and our baby. It was especially nice to have the washer and dryer. You could comfortable fit 6 in this house! The view was amazing and we enjoyed watching the sunrise each morning. Thanks for a great stay!

One of my favorite rentals we have ever stayed! Amazing views every morning for sunrise. Enjoyed sitting and watching the wildlife from the deck and the shore. House is exactly as advertised. We kayaked the Bay and it was a very convienent location to explore Acadia and the surrounding areas without being right in the mess of all the people in Bar Harbor. Perfect for our family. Everyone loved it!

The house is just as described - the location is stunning! Coffee in the morning outside on the deck- so relaxing and peaceful. Easy drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia. Quiet neighborhood. Gorgeous views. Highly recommend

We had a great stay! The views here were fantastic and the house was very clean. It was an easy drive into most of Acadia, but we had a hard time wanting to leave the adirondack chairs out back by the water.

The views were amazing, property was clean and well-stocked, and the location was perfect! I wish I was still drinking my coffee from those Adirondack chairs!

This is our second stay at Water's Edge. We love this house and the owners make sure that the property is well maintained, comfortable and welcoming. Watching the seals play in the bay from the patio was especialy fun. When we go back to Hancock Point, we will be staying here again!

This is an incredibly special place - we love Water’s Edge and Hancock Point! Morning walks on Jellison Cove Road, watching eagles and seals from the amazing decks, and enjoying access to all the wonders of Acadia without the crowds. Just The Best.

We loved the location of the house, the views were wonderful. Listening to the waves as we went to sleep - delightful!We spent many hours admiring the wildlife, the seals, birds, especially the eagle that kept flying by. Amazing! We also loved watching the lobsterman bringing in his catch.The house met the needs if our family (2 sets of adults) well, we used the gas grill a couple of times and the kitchen had everything we needed.We chose this listing for its location and views and were not disappointed, in fact we so loved the place that there were a few tears shed when it was time to leave.This was our first visit to Maine and we had a truly wonderful time.

Incredible cottage, easily our favorite rental. Gorgeous way to experience Maine; our kids loved playing on the shore, kayaking with seals, and hanging out in the loft. It was a beautiful and restorative week.

It was a nice house in a quiet neighborhood with LOTS of windows and beautiful views!

If you are looking for a quiet place to rest this is one of the best houses I have ever rented. Also, the location is unbeatable if you want to visit Acadia National Park but don't want to suffer the crowds. The house is just as the pictures show, it has everything you need. Simple but very well equipped.Dean is a great host and willing to solve any problem.

Great views out the large windows. Amazing sunrises in the morning and great days to view the bay and surrounding islands, etc.Our stay was early in the year, April, so there wasn't a lot of traffic on land or in the bay, but we enjoyed it being nice and quiet for our vacation.Will likely try to find this place again for our next visit in a few years.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay immensely! Honestly we love the house so much we spent half of our time just relaxing and enjoying the view. It’s a great place to take time to slow down which we don’t really get to do with our jobs.

The location of this property was perfect for us. Home is right on the water with beautiful views. Close to Bar Harbor and all it has to offer.

A wonderful time - again! Many eagle sightings and great walks. We’ll be back!!

We stayed for a week and very much enjoyed the house!

The perfect vacation spot. A quiet neighborhood with breathtaking views from the living room. We woke up to seals, eagles, and so many more birds right outside the windows!

Unfortunately our stay started out rainy and foggy, but once the weather cleared we didn’t want to leave the house! Sitting in front of those big clear windows watching the little lobster boat checking traps, the seagulls dropping their crabs on the rocks, the otters playing in the water and coming up on the shore, and the eagles swooping by were all the best part of our trip! We also enjoyed exploring the tide pools in front of the house and the walks on the quiet road on which the house is located. The house is only a short drive to Acadia, Bar Harbor, and Ellsworth. Overall the perfect place to stay for your time in Maine! Thanks Dean!
