About this cottage rental

We discount for monthly stays from November to April. Please ask us about this discount before booking during this period of the year. I can send a special offer to you through VRBO.

Built in 2001, the cottage is designed for enjoying time inside and out during our spectacular summers. It rests in a quiet location 75 feet from high tide. Has 4 BDRMS and 3 bathrooms. No roads or ledges to traverse when walking down to our private beach. We are 25-35 minutes from Bar Harbor and 20 from Acadia National Park, and only 7 minutes from Bar harbor Airport and 35 from Bangor International Airport. WE HAVE HIGH SPEED INTERNET FROM Spectrum AND CABLE TV WITH A DVR. WE HAVE TWO FLAT SCREEN TVS. ONE IS IN THE LIVING ROOM THE OTHER IS IN THE DEN/BDRM.

OUTSIDE
The cottage faces the sunset and Blue Hill Mountain across the inter-coastal ocean area of Union River Bay and Blue Hill Bay. Wooden stairs step down to a typical Maine tidal zone, except for the brook on the south side of the property.

At low tide rocks draped in thick tangle of yellow-green and brown-purple seaweeds surround our pebble beach. These are called Rockweed and are an important part of our coastal ecosystem. The shore provides lots of chances for beach combing and exploring. A brook empties into the Bay on the south side of the property and encourages birds and other wildlife to visit.

A large deck and a balcony off the second-story bedroom are great places to picnic or for sitting still and enjoying songbirds, ducks, loons, gulls, eagles, on occasion some wild turkeys, squirrels, even seals, and osprey, depending on the time of year.

3 generationally together quite comfortably. The house is lovely and spotless. Well equipped kitchen. Comfortable beds. Two nice seating areas. Excellent access to the water for our kayaks. At low tide there’s a great pebbly beach. Convenient to Ellsworth shopping and Acadia for all its activities . Host was very helpful on a few occasions when we had question.

We had a great week at this home. A nice home base for trips into Acadia and Bar Harbor, but also nice to sit by the water and listen to the birds and watch the wildlife. The home was perfect for our needs, very clean, spacious, and comfortable! Thank you!

We loved our stay. I liked the layout of the house better than any Vrbo I've stayed in. Two of the bedrooms have wonderful views and small private bathrooms. The house was great for two couples (what we had) but could easily have been very comfortable for three couples, since the bedrooms are spaced out and all with bathrooms. The house faces west so the view of the sunsets are spectacular! We cooked local seafood every night and found the kitchen equipped enough to do so. There are small stretches of woods between the neighboring houses so the house and beach area feels very private. We loved the creek in the woods emptying into the ocean. And the tides are extreme enough that it was easy to have an evening fire below the tide line. Only blips were minor. Our disappointment that the wood stove in the house was off limits (ie insurance) And there was a neighbor with an unhealthy relationship with his leaf blower on several evenings.

We spent a week in this warm..cozy..homey gem of a house....gramma...my teen daughter and my older daughter and my son in law and my 2 grandkids..8 year twins. It was a perfect fit! We just loved it. Perfect distance away from the business of bar harbor but close enought to go there for dinner if we didnt feel like cooking. We will be back lord willing! Loved it!!! Thank you!!!

My family and I gave been vacationing in Maine quite frequently. We have stayed at many different locations and homes. Bayside cottage is by far our favorite. The home is spacious and immaculate. The location is very private. Acadia and the towns of Mount Desert Island are a short drive away. We rented kayaks and truly enjoyed the water only steps from the home. I can not recommend Bayside cottage enough. I hope to return in the future

The house and property were exactly as described. The water was easy to get down to. We had a lot of fun with the dogs in the water. Also kayaking in the bay. Everything was fairly easy to get to from here. It was so nice that the house was so well stocked with all the basics plus much more for a group of 6 adults. We would all love to come back again. We have also told many of our friends about this house for future vacations in Maine!

We stayed here for a recent family vacation and had a wonderful time. The house is located near Bar Harbor (25 min) and Acadia (20-30 mins, depending on where you're headed). After a day in the park, it was so nice to hang out in the backyard with its beautiful waterfront view. The house was clean and host was very easy to get in touch with. Would love to stay here again and recommend to anyone planning a trip to Maine!

A great place on the water. We saw three seals surface, a merganser with chicks, and many other species of birds. The house was well proportioned for the six of us. We very much enjoyed our week there.
