As Sept 23 renter says "Glory Be is glorious indeed. We took full advantage of it. Swimming, kayaking, and hiking every day. Right from the house. " Location is prime. This spot is 8 miles down a 9 mile road, nestled on the bank of Union River Bay which overlooks the mountains of Acadia National Park. Newbury Neck is the primo spot for biking, and serenity. Lots are huge and owned by just a few families. There is little traffic since the peninsula dead ends in 1.25 miles.

We had a fantastic time at this place! The house was extremely well stocked and had everything we needed. Dee was fantastic about all communication. The views can’t be beat! We loved going on morning walks with our pup and bringing her down to the water. Our only small note was that we weren’t aware that we didn’t have direct beach access at the time we booked. It was easy enough to access from next door though. We loved everything about our visit and hope to come back!

The home was clean, comfortable and complete built to avail itself to every spectacular view Maine could offer. We enjoyed incredible views of the moon shining off the water in evening and beautiful sun rises in the morning.the property manager Dee was a super and resourceful hostess always available when you called upon her. I'd highly recommend Glory Be as a wonderful place to unwind and re-energize for your next Maine vacation!

We loved our stay here - the view onto the water from the deck is spectacular! We set up our badminton net in the backyard and enjoyed a lot of fun on the grounds. We also set out exploring all of the great communities, beaches and lobster shacks in the region. This is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy some quiet but also the perfect spot from which to take day trips to enjoy the region.

A pet-friendly house, a well-supplied kitchen and a huge deck to maximize the beautiful views of the bay and Acadia. We found ourselves driving to Acadia most days, but there’s plenty to do in nearby Blue Hill. We wish we had known that the property’s private beach was inaccessible because of storm damage this winter - otherwise our stay was perfect.

Glory Be’s location was perfect for us. We wanted to feel secluded and away from touristy areas but wanted to have a reasonable drive to visit Acadia or venture along the Bold Coast National Scenic Byway. This checked all the boxes. This home has a beautiful view from a huge deck, perfect for catching the sunrise each morning! The house was clean and well-stocked. The internet worked great, so we were able to communicate with the outside world even when we didn’t want to! The bed was comfortable and there was plenty of storage space for your clothing and personal items. Yes, the home looks a bit outdated in some ways. If you’re looking for a new home with all new furnishings, this house isn’t for you. But, if what you are looking for is a cozy home where you can literally feel the love that went into building it, then this is the PERFECT choice. There are so many sweet little “Easter eggs” that you will discover when opening a cabinet or looking on a shelf for something that remind you that this was a family’s home and endear it to you. They brought many smiles to my husband and I during our stay and only added to its charm! The host, Dee, was wonderful - friendly with a wealth of local knowledge to share. She was extremely responsive when we lost power during strong winds and heavy rain. She was quick to respond to my texts, helped us locate some candles, and kept us in the loop regarding the outage status as they tried to restore power to the local area. Thank you!

Loved the house and the setting. Beautiful views of Arcadia and simply stunning setting with the breeze blowing threw fields of wild flowers. Great location near Blue Hills and Arcadia. Look forward to going back!

What a glorious stay we had at Glory Be! The home was cozy and well laid out, with wrap around views out to the water and Acadia in the distance. The porch was terrific for indoor/outdoor living with meals, games, and reading inside and out. The kitchen was well-furnished--perfect for our family who loves to cook and grill and eat together. We had kayaks delivered to the property so we were able to go out for a paddle whenever we felt so inclined. That is, between our local bike rids on Newbury Neck or further afield at Schoodic Peninsula, and our hikes at Acadia and local preserves, and exploring the nearby towns for meals, coffee, books, and just poking around. Property Manager Dee was super helpful and responsive and gave us all the tips we needed to have a just-right Maine getaway! We'll be back!

We enjoyed our stay at Newbury Neck Road. Unfortunately we hit a rainy spell in June during our stay and we had our dog with us and the ticks were rampant. Be prepared if you bring your pet. The overall house is dated and the furniture needs refreshing but the fireplace is fabulous -not something you think you are going use in June but we were able to take advantage of it most nights. Dee, the property manager is very responsive and a wealth of local information - the location and Dee is why we gave it a rating of 3 stars otherwise it would have been lower.
