Beach 1 mile, firepit, heat/AC, dog, jetted tub, hike, Pine & Sea Beach Retreat
Pine and Sea Beach Retreat, Fire pit, dog ok, Jetted tub, beach
Wake up to deer in the yard, and the birds singing! This private lot is great for viewing Maine wildlife, yet close to the beach and shopping! In the pines but close to the sea!
Ride your bike to the beach, or to lunch at the local restaurant. Is sea glass hunting, or maybe a game of tennis at the clay courts in your plans? Possibly sailing lessons, launch your boat at the town dock, or kayak tours? All are MINUTES away! Stargaze at night by the fire under the incredible Maine sky, or soak in the jetted tub after a day of hiking.
This clean and open floorplan home has all of the amenities for you and your family to relax, cook together, and make memories!!
The large and sunny kitchen is well stocked with cooking supplies for that family dinner or lobster bake! The dining room has access to the deck through big sliding glass doors for the gas grill, and additional eating space on the deck.
There you will find the fire pit or "chimenea" and Adirondack chairs to watch the fire and unbelievable stargazing at night! Some nights it looks like you can just reach up and touch the milky way, as you count the shooting stars.
The living room has plenty of space for family games and sitting by the pellet stove.
First floor: Full bathroom with tub/shower. Bedroom 1 has 2 twin beds. Bedroom 2, has a queen bed.
Second floor: The master bedroom and en suite bathroom on the second floor boast a granite accent soaker tub, new walk in shower, and trendy footed vanity. The bedroom has a desk for added workspace, and a king sized comfy bed. There is a full laundry room off of the master bath with a washer/dryer, beach towels, and a iron and ironing board.
This home has everything you may need, and is close to things to do yet private and elegant. It is in the pines, but close to the sea. A true Maine experience!

Had a great stay with family at this wonderful house! Enjoyed the front porch especially on the clear evenings looking at the stars! And loved our time together around the fire pit in the back! Loved going for walks on the beach close by and the great places to eat were not far from the house either!

Acadia Vacation with Littles
The property was just as described and worked perfectly for my family with young children. We were able to go to the park in the morning and there was enough space to relax at the house in the afternoon away from the crowds. The house was comfortable and the property itself was spacious and quiet.

Hidden Gem
The house was beautiful and was equipped with everything we needed. Perfect location! We traveled north to Canadian border and as far east as Bass Harbor from this location. Easy access to Bar Harbor as well. Already recommended home to friends wanting to visit the area. Susan was easy to communicate with. Very responsive. You won’t be disappointed!!

Wonderful house near Bar Harbor
We had a family of four along with our Boston terrier staying for a week in the house. The check in process could not have been easier and the house itself was just as advertised. We had a great time sitting on the back deck either eating breakfast, lunch or dinner and sometimes seeing the deer in the backyard....our dog would go up to them and just stare and they did not care. The house had everything you would want as long as you read the book in the front room about where everything was located, the kitchen was stocked with all the essentials (like a pot for boiling lobsta!). The drive to the small preserve at the end of the peninsula was only about five minutes and the trail there took you to an awesome beach that hardly anyone was at for the times that we went. Bar Harbor was only about 35 minutes depending on traffic which gave us time in the car to map our routes we wanted to go. If you do get a chance, please go into downtown Ellsworth and go to fogtown brewery....you will not be disappointed. We would come back and stay at the house in a heartbeat, thank you again for giving us the opportunity to utilize your lovely house.

Quiet Maine Getaway
If you want to get away to a quieter part of Maine, but still close to MDI, this place is for you. A cozy porch for your early morning coffee or afternoon reading always awaits. The small towns nearby offer plenty of places to eat, if you don't want to cook.

Acadia/Bar Harbor
Nice. A little out of the way but not bad. House was fine. One ac unit on porch area and one upstairs in bedroom. Maybe another one in downstairs bedroom would have made the house comfy temp wise… got a little warm but there were a couple fans we used.
Overall a decent place.

Wanted to have my cousin and his wife experience some of the Maine scenes and food. Bar Harbor was on the top of the list.
Susan, the host, was easy to message and quick to respond. We had a great fun filled and relaxing week

Plenty of room
The house was fine, laundry, shower, etc were good. However, the kitchen wasn't stocked very well- not enough dishes or cooking pots etc., at least for our family size. Could have been better stocked and nicer. The master bedroom bedding needed to be washed. At least the blankets and pillow cases needed washing (they were visibly dirty, not stains.). There were screens missing in the master bedroom, which let bugs in, or had to keep closed at night and it got hot. Otherwise, place was nice and has potential to be better! Thank you, we over all enjoyed our stay.
