About this house rental

A rare find, "Lost Tides" is a fabulous, five bedroom oceanfront Victorian home nestled into 2 private acres with 470 ft. of shorefront.

Take in the stunning views of the Penobscot Bay from nearly every room while experiencing all the charm of a bygone era. Relax on the screened in porch with a glass of lemonade or a cocktail--free of bugs but full of fresh ocean air!--or take a stroll around the grounds and the original carriage house. Luxuriate in our seaside spa--no better place on the planet (but keep in mind that it is not available in winter months). Play horseshoes or cornhole as the tide comes in just a couple dozen feet away. If you're a runner, cruise down Shore Road, under a leafy cathedral, all the way to Route 1. Swim right off your own beach, search for sea glass, or just sit and enjoy the magnificent sunsets for which Maine is famous.

Tastefully updated, this home has the charm of a Grand Dame, but with all the modern amenities, including a new kitchen and 4.5 updated bathrooms. There is a dining room table for 12 in the formal dining room as well as a gorgeous farm table that seats 12 in the summer dining room overlooking the sea. The house offers a foosball table, a ping pong table, and a guest suite that is private and separate from the other four bedrooms. Perfect for family reunions, events, or those who need healthy space. There is also a large entertainment room with a big screen TV, modern and comfortable queen sized Murphy bed, and it's own bathroom and kitchenette! There are 3 original fireplaces and a quaint wooden staircase down to the beach. This gracious and magical waterside home is just a short walk to historic Bayside Village, a hidden spot that has no commercial development--not a stop light, stop sign, billboard, or store to be found! It is truly unique and feels like a trip back in time. There is a lovely old pier, where kids (and some brave adults) jump into the sparkling Penobscot Bay, plus a beautiful green park complete with an old-school playground. The charming and wonderful Northport Golf Club is a ten-minute WALK from the house or a two minute drive. Just grab your clubs and go!

Lost Tides is also a perfect place for weddings, with a large, flat lawn that can accommodate a tent. Get married under the tall oak and pine trees, looking out over the still water--an experience that will set the tone for your special day. Event fee required and can be discussed.

We've been coming to Bayside for three decades and will give you our best recommendations for restaurants, bars, hikes, shopping, and things to experience that are off the beaten tourist track. Belfast, a unique and authentic fishing town, is three miles away, with everything you could ever need--and some things you never even knew you wanted! The splendor of Acadia National Park is a 75 minute drive away, and Camden, a historic and charming tourist town, is 20 minutes to the south.

There were nine of us, plenty of room to spread out. All the adult couples had king size beds and there were plenty of bathrooms. The house was well stocked allowing us to have a great breakfast before heading out for the day. We had some phenomenal evening meals, relaxed, played games and enjoyed each others company. Great place to stay … the views and sea glass excursions could not be beat. Our grandson even tried his hand at fishing, but no luck. We enjoyed Acadia, Boothbay, Camden, Belfast and Bar Harbor. Would love to come back … and maybe someday we will.

This is one of the most beautiful properties I have ever had the privilege of staying at. The home has everything you could want for an enjoyable family stay. A great kitchen. Comfortable bedrooms. A wonderful playroom with TV and game table. Ping-pong and foosball. A fire pit. And a short walk to some steps down to the beach. Just 15 minutes to Belfast, which is a wonderful seaside community with great restaurants and shops. There’s a nine hole golf course literally right around the corner from the property.

We stayed over Memorial Day Weekend while in the area for my daughter’s college graduation. The house and property was exactly as represented in the online description. It’s a really peaceful place with great energy. The host was great. Communication was good and she responded quickly when we had a question. The property would be a great place for a large family get together. Tons of space! We would definitely rent here again.

Rarely do you find places that are better in person than in the pictures. This is one of those places. This isn't some vacation rental business. This is a real lived-in and loved home with everything you need. Except one thing and maybe I just couldn't find them - where are the lobster crackers?! This is the only miss I can think of (arguably a considerable one for a Maine home!)

Our host was super responsive both before and during the stay. Her recommendations were the best. The house was huge and had everything we needed.

This was the perfect place for our family gathering. The location was great, close to Belfast, and a view of Penobscot Bay from every window! Great communication from Suzanne and the house is well stocked. We had a fabulous stay and would definitely stay again if we are in the area.

Where to begin! First of all, Ethan and Suzanne were incredibly helpful with resources and ideas throughout my planning. It was a pleasure to work with them. All of the questions we had while we were there were answered and worked out quickly. This property is exactly what I was looking for when I took into account the priority of my family not needing to go anywhere and just have a lovely spot to visit. We still ventured out, however. 2 of the most beautiful towns for scenery, eating, shopping and browsing art are just north and just south of this house. And plenty to see, eat and enjoy immediately around the corner with great breakfast spots, general stores and lobster rolls galore. It sounds like the area would be crowded and touristy, but it really is not. It’s just a perfect location, in my opinion, and quintessential Maine. Back to the Bayside House, Tall Oaks… So much space in this house. We hosted 22 people for a Lobster dinner birthday party. 8 people comfortably stayed in the house, but there was plenty of room for 4 more. Plenty of bathrooms and lovely spaces, such as the porch, the vast yard, and the beach to get away for personal space. Loads of game equipment to keep younger ones busy. Beach is rocky, but holds so many treasures to observe and collect. Only a few older family members were unable to use the stairs down to the beach, but viewing the ocean from the kitchen (and many other rooms in the house) made everyone quite happy. We hope to return! :)

This stay was a first timing taking my family away on this scale by myself and I couldn’t have been more pleased! There was enough to keep 12 people busy and relaxed at the same time. Plenty of space to prep meals and just enjoy being together. Atmosphere was comfortable without being fussy. I even had time and places to paint around the property! I hated to leave. Can’t wait to go again. Thank you, Suzanne. Mil Gracias!
