About this house rental
An idyllic, beautifully furnished & well kept home located in the charming village of Corea. A great getaway located on the quiet side of Acadia National Park, with close access to the Schoodic section of Acadia. Our area offers great walking, hiking & biking trails and just pure relaxation. You are within walking distance to the harbor to get a local lunch on the wharf, or walk to the beautiful private beach in search of seaglass or explore the tide pools. On a low tide you can even cross the sandbar and explore one if not two of the islands. We are a one hour drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park and a 15 minute drive to the Schoodic section of Acadia, there is also a seasonal ferry service from neighboring Winter Harbor to Bar Harbor. The main house has 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths and we have an extra guest room detached from the house with an en suite bath. Renters get a discounted tour for up to 4 people on our Catch Your Dinner-Lobster Boat Tour, a great coastal Maine experience located right in Corea harbor. The tours run seasonally from Memorial Day to Columbus Day. This location will give you the true feeling of Coastal Maine, it has a beautiful backyard with lighted patio and firepit, extensive gardens that are great for viewing flowers and passing wildlife. There are two window-filled sunrooms that allow you to feel almost as though you are outside. There is also a big open plan kitchen with a large island for gathering together over cooking dinner. This property is a true gem.

Lovely home in great area close to Acadia.
5.0
The property was in a quiet location about an hour outside of Bar Harbor. The home and detached suite were very well maintained. We had everything we needed from towels to washcloths to filtered water in the fridge. We enjoyed making smores and listening to music in the backyard.
The one point of contention, which is relative, was the ease of getting to the beach. For our group, it was more of a hike than a casual walk as the trail was not maintained and some of us had mobility issues to begin with. If, however, you are in relatively good shape with no mobility issues, it should be relatively painless for you.
That being said, the home and yard were immaculate, well-maintained and clean. It was quiet since the area was an hour outside of Bar Harbor. We saw quite a few dear between the VRBO and Acadia National Park, especially at night. I would not hesitate to rent again as these hosts provide amazing lodging!

We stayed at this lovely home during our Boston/Maine vacation (3 grown sons and my husband and me). We combined it with the “catch your dinner” lobster boat tour which is also operated by the owners of this home. I highly recommend both the home and the tour! Melissa was very responsive to my messages (and accommodating since we had a couple of changes to our itinerary). She has decorated her home beautifully and has thought of everything that you might need during your stay. We felt very welcome and comfortable. Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer.
Corea is very small but we walked to a sandy beach and even saw a fox and a beaver! We also walked down to the heath bog at dusk and got beautiful photos.
Lastly, I can’t say enough good things about Dan and Taylor and their lobster boat excursion! They were both friendly and informative. Everyone felt like this was our highlight of the trip! We learned A LOT about lobsters and while we were out on the boat, we saw puffins, seals, and a bald eagle! We also really enjoyed lunch at the wharf afterwards (where they graciously cooked our lobsters that Dan gave us after our lobster boat excursion). We also went to two other nearby restaurants which were recommended by the family - Bunkers and The Gallery - and loved them both! Good food and very personable owners and staff.
Great experience!

This house was a total surprise. We were expecting a glorified hotel room and instead we had a beautiful home. This place encouraged us to sit down, relax and enjoy the day. Which is, surprisingly what we needed and did.

635 Corea Rd is a wonderful Maine retreat. The house is impeccably clean and comfortable. Melissa has thought of everything to meet her guests every need. We had a terrific stay and look forward to returning for a trip on the lobster boat!!

Beautifully decorated home with lots of attention to detail. Owners have ensured that the house is well-kept and have also kept the information about local area handy. We had a great time visiting Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park, Schoodic loop, Bangor and local attractions/restaurants. We enjoyed the quietness of Corea and enjoyed the Lunch on the Wharf which is a 2 minute walk from the home. We would love to stay again in the future.

Beautifully decorated and a very warm and cozy feel. It’s an hour away from Bar Harbor but we loved getting away from the activity of that area at the end of the day. Can’t wait to come back!

What a beautiful home - artfully and tastefully decorated, filled with everything you need and hosts were very attentive. LOVED the outdoor space and all the rooms for relaxation. Lots of places to explore nearby and not enough time! Wish we had another week to explore and then another week to just relax at the house. Quaint coastal Maine town, great restaurants nearby, hour from Bar Harbor - did the whale watch and explored downtown; visited Acadia as well. So much to do in the area and we thoroughly LOVED our time at this beautiful out of the way quiet home. Hope to be back!

We were a group of 2 parents and 7 adult children. On our quest to see national parks we found our way here. Corea is a quiet, quaint town and this home is beautiful! It's a bit of travel time to get to the park but not difficult. The ferry was really fun and have a different view of the park. Coming back to this great house was very enjoyable.

Beautiful home, on beautiful property, in beautiful area! My husband and I, as well as our 3 college aged children and Aussie and small mixed breed dog thoroughly enjoyed everything about our stay here. This immaculate home was spacious, beautifully decorated and very comfortable! We utilized all areas of the house including the kitchen seating areas, sunrooms, back deck overlooking lupines in full bloom, as well as the fire pit area. Plenty of space for us to all sit together as well as find a quiet spot all our own when needed. My communications with the owner were answered promptly and courteously. The location in the small fishing village of Corea was perfect for us! Very quiet! Friendly residents! And close proximity to everything we wanted to do! We would definitely stay again when coming back to this area of Maine. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and created some wonderful memories. And even though the weather was not ideal we hiked and adventured everyday of our stay. Our children commented several times on what a relaxing and stress-free vacation this was!
Thanks for the memories!

A beautiful home in a quiet, scenic location. Everything was meticulous, and had everything we could possibly need. We especially enjoyed the fire pit in the evenings. A perfect spot to explore the area!
5.0
Beautiful house that has been completely renovated, large space with plenty of bedrooms, and a fantastic Kitchen. The house was incredibly nice and well taken care of. Large backyard with a nice fire pit, was a great wind-down each evening.
It is a bit far from Acadia, about 1 hour each way, but we just planned accordingly. However, it is far from the hustle and bustle of something like Bar Harbor and it's craziness. Area was super quiet and very private.
We really enjoyed the stay and would definitely think about coming back here in the future. The property owner was very easy to work with, super nice and answered a number of questions. Super easy check-in/check-out process made the stay even more seamless. Don't hesitate to stay at this property!
