About this house rental

Ocean’s Edge is located in the quiet village of Summer Harbor, just next to Winter Harbor and about 35 minutes from Bar Harbor – and the main portion of Acadia National Park. Our property offers stunning views and a quiet retreat in coastal Maine with easy access to hiking, shopping, golfing, and dining.

The house itself is a luxurious log cabin - perfect for a comfortable getaway with oversized bathtubs and an open-air feeling. It boasts floor-to-ceiling windows in the main portion of the house, a chefs kitchen, and plenty of natural light. It also has a laundry room, an expansive front deck, and surrounding grounds that are perfect for exploring. Guests often spot eagles, porcupines, minke whales, and other wildlife in the early morning hours! The size and layout of the house makes it perfect for larger or smaller groups.

Ocean's Edge also has a floating dock, and boat mooring is available for small and large vessels. The coastline is great to kayak and paddleboard along as the waters are peaceful in good weather.

In the morning you could enjoy the deck and sip some coffee while you take in the view and plan your day. During the day you could read book on the dock, walk the shoreline in search of starfish, or set out into the water with a kayak. For dinner grill up a fresh lobster and steamers and enjoy the spectacular sunset.

If you're interested in exploring the area, drive over (or even ride your bike) to Acadia National Park’s lesser travelled Schoodic Peninsula and hike along the bold granite coastline. Grab some lunch in the quaint town of Winter Harbor where you can visit galleries and shop for gifts made by local artisans. You can also head to nearby Jones Pond or Donnell Pond to swim and fish. For more adventures, you can catch the ferry to Bar Harbor and hike the trails of Acadia, or walk around Bar Harbor.

While there are two fireplaces in the home, unfortunately, insurance restrictions prohibit the use of these by tenants. Please see language in rental agreement that will be provided.

Perfect for a family gathering - although not ideal for those with mobility issues. Deck was amazing as was the interior and exterior wood framing. We fell in love with the bathrooms. Did not expect it to be this gorgeous.

This house sits on a beautiful property! The architecture of the landscaping allows you to take a number of tiny "trails" down to the water. It's not a hard or long walk, but a beautiful one. When you go to Maine for hikes, kayaking, swimming and evenings spent watching the sun dip below the horizon, this is the house you want. It's a little more north than we usually stay and I was a little nervous. But Winter Harbor is an adorable little town right up the road with many choices for restaurants - we loved the Gallery and ice cream - Me & Ben's in a must! Staying here offered the opportunity to explore Schoodic more than we had in the past and it has some of the most beautiful hikes - easily rivaling those on MDI. We rented bikes at the entrance of Schoodic and biked the loop, which we loved. The house itself was clean and spacious and we were very comfortable in the evening watching old movies after lobster on the deck. The house is very open. The upstairs bedroom is a loft with 2 beds which my boys loved, a private (only room with a door) queen bedroom on the main floor for my 13 year old daughter and my husband and I stayed in the master suite which expands across the entire lower level with doors to the backyard. The host was amazing. We had a couple of silly questions throughout our 2 week stay and she always responded immediately and was overwhlemingly helpful. Another great Maine vacation and only 332 more days until our next one.

What a wonderful place! The views from every floor are stunning. The kitchen is well equipped and easy to work in. Beds are comfortable and associated furniture is adequate. The house is well maintained and tastefully furnished. There are games and puzzles for a family with young children, but many of the home’s decorations are fragile. We all enjoyed fishing from the dock and watching dolphins swim by. A local lobsterman gifted us a bag of lobsters one day while we were fishing! There were some mechanical systems issues during our stay that were addressed very quickly by the home owner/property manager. Communication with the owner/manager was excellent. Access to Winter Harbor or Ellsworth is very easy. We highly recommend the Treehouse Restaurant and Seafood Grille in Winter Harbor for dinner!

The home is very modern and artistically decorated. Landscaped grounds are well maintained. All furniture is new and comfortable. Our family and friends had a beautiful week in this location. The only thing to be aware of is that the loft bedroom is completely open to the living area below which could be fine for children, but was slightly uncomfortable for my adult son and his girlfriend.

Property exceeded expectations. It was clean, functional, close enough to Bar Harbour but far enough to feel separation, and the views were unmatched. Our kids played on the rocky shore for hours, we cooked in the kitchen and had dinner on the back deck watching the ocean. Great week overall

We loved every minute at this house. The location cannot be better. It’s so quiet, and the views are glorious. There are decorative touches all over the house, and some of them are fragile so it isn’t a house for rough housing. All the spaces are generous, the beds are comfortable, the kitchen is easy to use. Eating out on the deck overlooking the garden and ocean is a special experience. We enjoyed kayaking off the dock every morning and watching bald eagles fish in the cove. The Wi-Fi is pretty weak, which we found to be part of the charm of disconnecting.
