Water’s Edge offers panoramic water views in a 2-Bedroom+Loft, 1-Bath vacation cottage located just feet from the shore. Ideally located between Acadia National Park’s Schoodic Peninsula and Mt Desert Island, your serene cottage has private access to an unspoiled coast with wonderful views of Frechman Bay and Cadillac Mountain. Explore all the beauty of Acadia National Park, climb local mountains, kayak the Mt Desert Narrows or just watch the tides and mountains from your private deck!
Breathe in the salty coast air as you arrive at Water’s Edge. Marvel at the natural beauty of the coastline as you unpack before stepping outside to take in the true beauty of Downeast Maine. With a furnished deck and gas grill, cool summer days can be spent barbecuing outside as the loons drift by and seals bask on nearby rocks.
Inside, the home offers an open-concept living area with vaulted ceilings and comfortable seating. This 2-bedroom, 1 bath home has water views from every room. Downstairs has the bedrooms, living room, bath and kitchen. The primary has a king bed, while the other bedroom has a queen bed. Upstairs is a loft with full bed and futon.

We stayed for a week and very much enjoyed the house!

The perfect vacation spot. A quiet neighborhood with breathtaking views from the living room. We woke up to seals, eagles, and so many more birds right outside the windows!
5.0
Unfortunately our stay started out rainy and foggy, but once the weather cleared we didn’t want to leave the house! Sitting in front of those big clear windows watching the little lobster boat checking traps, the seagulls dropping their crabs on the rocks, the otters playing in the water and coming up on the shore, and the eagles swooping by were all the best part of our trip! We also enjoyed exploring the tide pools in front of the house and the walks on the quiet road on which the house is located. The house is only a short drive to Acadia, Bar Harbor, and Ellsworth. Overall the perfect place to stay for your time in Maine! Thanks Dean!
5.0
Our stay at Water's Edge was truly a magical experience. The weather was perfect for opening windows and enjoying the deck overlooking the water with seagull calls and bouy bells for background noise. The location was absolutely perfect and everything about the cabin was clean, organized, and perfect for a week away. The drive into Acadia was easy, and there were plenty of markets and restaurants nearby to get everything we needed. We will definitely be back!

We had a great stay at this house. The view is spectacular and allowed us to have an amazing stay with great views and relaxing times.
Thank you Dean!

Beautifully planned space that provides stunning panoramic views.
The kitchen was well stocked with essentials for a family of four (paper towels, coffee filters, salt, pepper). The linens were lovely and the home was incredibly clean.
We made day trips into Acadia which was a 45+ minutes depending on which part of the park you’re headed to.

We got caught in a mid-April Nor'easter on the way to this beautiful property. It was still so peaceful and beautiful. The property feels very private and quiet. The views are stunning and the cabin is cozy and warm.

We had a great time exploring the area. Both Bar Harbor and Schoodic Peninsula were within reasonable driving distance to the cottage! It was great to have a cozy place to come back to at the end of the day! We saw a bald eagle out of the front window multiple times and the stars were amazing from the deck at night! The bedrooms got a little cold at night because the main heater is in the living room, but space heaters were supplied for each room. Overall, it was a great trip and I would absolutely stay here again!!
5.0
This place is amazing! Right on the water with the option to kayak from the house. Well stocked kitchen and spectacular views. Nice deck area to have your morning coffee or sit out and look at the stars. Check in process was easy. During our stay we got to experience a tropical storm and our power went out. Dean was there to hook up the generator and we carried on with our trip. We would stay here again!

This beautiful home was exactly as the pictures portrayed. It's location is ideal Quiet and beautiful in all directions. The rental is absolutely spotless.
The rental is so well stocked. My husband and I cook quite often and I don't think there was ever anything we needed that wasn't available. Unusual in many VRBOs we have rented. We also had plenty of paper products...paper towels, TP, and dinner napkins.
During our stay we saw turkeys, a porpoise, eagles, otters, and many deer. Watch out driving in at night.
Many things to do and places to eat nearby. We spent several days hiking in Acadia NP. Jordan Pond hike was a favorite, but go early. Parking is difficult. Another favorite was Great Head. Be prepared to scramble and climb a little. Also, make sure to spend some time on Schoodic Peninsula.
We learned a new plant that we saw growing everywhere. Rugosa Rose. A helpful neighbor named the plant for us and told us about it.
We didn't eat out except for a few lunches, but we did find Mount Desserts Pie Company on Lookout Point Rd. It was wonderful. Blueberry was our favorite, but the lovely owner invited us into the kitchen to try the Strawberry Rhubarb. Also, very good.
You won't go wrong with this rental and you will keep busy every day, but save time to sit and just look out the windows!

I don’t think there could have been a better place to stay. The house was the most well stocked and had so much charm. And the view!! We woke up to enjoy gorgeous sunrises over the bay, and after hiking in Acadia National Park, would bring dinner back to enjoy the amazing ambiance of this place.
5.0
Quiet and peaceful, the stars were bright. The view was even better then the pictures. Sunrise was beautiful. Kayaks were nice to get out on the water. We would stay there again.

We enjoyed our stay at this wonderful property. It was so clean and had everything we needed . Wonderful view !!! We enjoyed watching the lobster boats in the morning . We had great bike rides on the carriage roads in Acadia Natl Park and the trip to Cadillac Mountain was amazing. So many great places to eat, just not enough time! We had a great time and made many favorite memories .

Hopefully we can get back there again.

This home has the most amazing views. You will not want to leave. Our family had a great time venturing into Acadia and Bar Harbor and then couldn’t wait to get back to our waterside retreat. Waking up is a treat in this home. We found everything we needed to make great meals and it was great using the kayaks provided. Highly recommend this property.
5.0
The view is just like the pictures. We woke up to sunshine in our windows and shimmering off the water. We saw seals, an eagle, lobster boats, and even a cruise ship or 2. I recommend this beautiful place, so much space and so charming.
5.0
This is a magical place in an outstanding location. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. You can explore or simply watch the eagles and seals while the tide goes in and out. Amazing!

My husband and I have been planning our week at Water's Edge in Hancock Point, Maine for over a year. At least once a month, I would view the video of the property and imagine ourselves there. About seven months ago, I finally officially booked our week in August, and we cannot rate this property highly enough. Booking was clear and simple. Dean communicated everything we needed to know.
The property is simply beautiful and exactly as depicted on the video. We sat in front of the picture window for hours--reading and then, gazing out onto the bay, and then reading some more and then, watching bald eagles, ospreys, and seals. Once a deer came up to the side of the house; we also saw a puffin, a goldfinch and a hummingbird. We rarely left the house, because we did not want to leave the beauty of bay of the Atlantic Ocean. Our usual frenetic pace back home was on hold, and we were totally unplugged. The bed and pillows were so comfortable. We both read two books cover to cover and started a third before we left.
It was the ideal "getaway" for this busy couple. However, it would be just as wonderful a base for a family who wants to hike and explore Acadia Natl Park or shop in Bar Harbor. Before we left, we took photos of our picture window framing the blue waters of the bay which will forever remind us of this most relaxing time ever.
5.0
This place was truly a treasure! We enjoyed exploring the quieter side of Acadia, with all the hiking, biking, kayaking, and wildlife we could hope for! From starting our mornings sipping coffee looking out over the water to falling asleep to the sound of gentle waves, we can't wait to return!
5.0
We fell in love with the property the first time we viewed it on our computer. The view was spectacular! The house was just great. Dean made our stay easy. Access to the clean property was all we really needed. He did check in once to let us know he was coming to mow and at the time did ask if everything was ok!. Thanks for allowing us to rent this wonderful home right on the ocean. It contributed greatly to our long awaited and much anticipated Maine vacation.

We really enjoyed it, and my wife in particular enjoyed the kitchen set up.
5.0
This clean and well maintained home is directly on the ocean, with incredible views of Acadia National Park and real working lobster harbors. The house is comfortable and clean…on a tranquil dead end street with effectively no noise from the outside world. It’s a great retreat within a 35 minute drive from the noise of Bar Harbor (20 mins to Schoodic!) and all the surrounding communities are beautiful. This of course is during the day…wait until night when no light pollution is there to spoil God’s canvas.
Dean is wonderful to work with, my kids loved the loft bedroom, and I’d recommend the home anytime.
Hiking, sailing, kayaking, nature’s bounty …and good food all nearby.

We loved our stay at Water’s Edge! We will probably be returning in the future with our respective families! It’s beautiful and the location is central to so many things that are within easy driving distance. We were without electricity for about 12 hours because of a storm, but even so we enjoyed our stay. I left a message with Dean to see if there was anything he needed us to do at the house in regard to this, but my call wasn’t returned. We reported the power outage after some research to find the electricity provider. That’s the reason for 4 stars on communication. Otherwise, loved our stay!

My husband and I came up to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary and let me tell you - it was the stuff of dreams. The house and the sights were -if it’s possible- even better than the listing shows. Both my husband and I are nature lovers so being able to be so close to Acadia and just the water in general did wonders for our souls. By far my favorite place we’ve gone for a vacation so far!
5.0
My family and I had such a lovely time at this property. It was described accurately, clean and had the most amazing view of the bay. We were about 45 minutes from Acadia and 20 minutes from Ellsworth. No complaints.

We enjoyed the house very much. Most beautiful view. Dean was so accommodating. EXCELLENT!

Our second stay at Dean’s wonderful property. Fabulous view, clean, tidy and comfy home, great communication. Really nothing more one could hope for. We will come back yet again!
5.0
We chose to stay here to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. We were a little nervous about going in the winter, but the weather was fine, and the house was heated well and very comfy. The view is unreal and it was the primary reason we chose this place. You can just stare at it for hours watching the sky and water change colors, tides come in and out, and ducks swimming by. On clear nights if you turn off all the lights you can see so many stars, and their reflection in the water. The location is very private on a dead-end. We are big hikers so we enjoyed all the trails in the area. The place is very clean, and the appliances are all nice and seem new. I highly recommend you book this place.
5.0
Wow, my girlfriend and I had the best time. What a beautiful place, beautiful views and so close to Acadia. I couldn’t ask for more from a place to stay.
