About this house rental
This classic Maine summer home is located steps away from a sandy beach in a quiet cove, perfect for swimming and for young children. Grassy meadows surround the house, which has views of the ocean on three sides. The kitchen/dining/living area is comfortable and light. A wood stove can warm the house on cool evenings and in colder months. In the summer, doors open to a wrap-around porch, lovely for outdoor lunches or breakfasts. The first-floor corner bedroom has a queen bed and views of the ocean on two sides. The second floor front bedroom has a queen bed and a writing desk and offers views of the ocean and surrounding island. The back bedroom has a double bed and a single bed with views of the meadows. Twenty-five acres of meadow, woods, and pink granite shorefront invite leisurely afternoon strolls.
A small grocery store is just a five-minute’s walk away. Free wireless service is available at the town library, just ten minutes by car. The wifi in the house works ONLY on the dining room and small study to the left of the entryway.
The island features rocky and sandy beaches, spectacular hikes, fishing, and swimming in a local quarry. During summer months the town offers frequent “Town Breakfasts,” concerts, and other community events.
A second house located on the property, the Farm House, may be rented together with the Shore House for larger gatherings. Please see the listing for VRBO #287076.

It was our first time to Swans Island, we had the best time. House was perfect and right by the water, would recommend 10/10. Can't wait to come back, such a special trip!

This Maine island cabin and location were perfect for a seculuded and quiet vacation with my wife. The views at the cabin, as well as from the hikes and lighthouse, are National Park worthy! The restored wood fired cook stove was a real treat to cook on and kept us comfortable during the cool nights. There is also a full size gas range, oven, and Weber grill. Swans Island is a gem! It is a quick ferry ride from Bass Harbor and Acadia National Park. Go visit the fisherman's co-op for the freshest lobsters and TIMS store for local Burnt Coat Oysters. Truly the best lobster and oysters we've ever had and the cabin had everything we needed to prepare and enjoy them.

Swan vacation
This was an amazing trip. The house needs some adjustment but in general it was a wonderful experience.
The wooden stove was awesome, my child (22) loved to cook in it. The house is in a great location.
If you have a furry friend be prepared for ticks.
Make reservations with the ferry so you can leave when you want.
Have fun!

The Best
I probably shouldn't reveal what I'd like to keep a secret, but the Grace family are such gracious hosts and the house such a gem that I feel bound to record my family's joy from this summer as from summers past. Along with their adjoining house on Swans, this one is in the middle of paradise. We hope to return every year, for as long as we can.

Beautiful spot with perfect access to beaches - property is very rustic!
Overall great place with rustic ambiance! The kitchen is a bit of a mish-mosh and definitely ask ahead if they have even some basic needs. As this was a “replacement holiday” for our usual trip to a very remote cabin in Canada it definitely lived up to our expectations, but others might find it a bit more rustic than they’re ready for.
Linens were generally clean, provided towels are reaching their “end of life” and furnishings are “quaint.” There’s also some leaking plumbing that we brought to the owners attention which definitely needs fixing before that bathroom floor gives way.
As the weather was so wonderful we did not get a chance to try the wood stove, but the provided kettle grill (a nice touch) outside was used often!
We’d definitely stay again and really enjoyed the beaches and quarry pond for swimming! Everyone was so nice, so with some mindful distancing and appropriate mask wearing during this COVID crisis, you’ll have no problem taking in all Swans Island has to offer!

Fantastic get away
We loved the shore house! It is a stunningly beautiful area and the shore house is very comfy while still giving a rustic feel. We enjoyed hearing the waves from the porch, looking at the stars, and eating lobsters. We ran out of propane at one point and Julie was very responsive and got us coming again within a few minutes. It was a great experience and we would definitely go back again.

We had a lovely time at the "shore house". The house was exactly what we were looking for - quaint, comfortable and in an amazing location.

Wonderful New England Island experience
We had a delightful time. The beach near the house was fun to explore. The history of the house is interesting. The house is situated with nice views of a meadow and water nearby. The market is within walking distance. This is a great place to relax and explore.
