Oceanfront property with spectacular views of Acadia Park and cruise ships.
About this house rental
Nestled in Lamoine, this lovely house for $451 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. Set your kayaks directly into the clear blue waters from this creatively furnished home away from home located on Frenchman's Bay, a short drive from one of the world's most beautiful National Parks. Take walks along the secluded beach, collecting shells and sea glass. Wake up each morning to watch the lobstermen bring in their catch, possibly your lunch, right in front of the property where you can see thousands of colorful lobster buoys floating on the ocean. At the end of a fun and active day, you can relax and enjoy wonderful nights out by the fire pit while creating memories with your friends and family, all while you are surrounded by the beautiful scenic landscape that will help you recognize why Maine's wonderful allure has attracted so many people from around the world. Completely redone in 2016, this house comfortably accommodates 9 people and can sleep 10 with a role away bed and is equipped with three full bathrooms. Here you can enjoy easy mornings and cozy nights while maintaining a comfortable inviting living space for you, your friends and loved ones to share. The newly added second story master bedroom contains a walk-in closet leading to the private bathroom and has a more spectacular views. There is a lovely dining room attached to the kitchen and living room and the other bedrooms are set just down the hall with the other two restrooms. This property has amenities such as the use of two kayaks, a large gas grill and a wide long deck that lets you relax and enjoy the sunset and sunrise over Cadillac Mountain, or watch the cruise ships as they sail into Bar Harbor for the day. Take a walk down the beach where there is an old boat landing on a public beach, or take a short walk up the road to Lamoine State Park to enjoy the activity there, as boaters and fishermen enter and exit the waters of Frenchman's Bay and children play on the play ground. The property is also available for those special events in the spring and fall if you are looking for million dollar views on a quite 3-acre lot right on the ocean with a walkable beach.

This is a beautiful property in a stunning natural setting. Outstanding views of the harbor. The owners were great, keeping us informed, and making sure that all went smoothly. The photos in the description are great, but in real-life it is even better. If you are looking for a retreat on the Maine Coast this is the place. Far enough to have privacy, but close enough to get to attractions in the area, such as Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. This is not just for Summer time. We were there at the end of December, and it was still great. Highly recommended at any Season!

We had a great stay! The owner stayed in communication with us. Everything was in the house that you could need while away from home. We went out and bought firewood and made use of the great fire pit. Our time there was very foggy, so we can’t say much about the views. Would definitely recommend the property!

This home is in the ideal location if you enjoy watching sunrise over the ocean, being in nature, staying 15 minutes from a town with everything you might need, staying 30 minutes from the most wonderful National Park, and staying in a very comfortable home with a responsive host.
We throughouly enjoyed this home and our time there!

Eric was very responsive our entire stay and we appreciated all his recommendations for the local area. The house has a lot of charm and Maine decor. For our group of 8, it fit everyone comfortably. Water pressure can be low, but that’s expected of well water and we were already aware. Wifi was fast. Our favorite part was the fire pit, we roasted marshmellows! Only about 30 minutes to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. We would definitely stay here again.

Overall one of the best VRBO rentals we have stayed in. Home was very well equipped. It had plenty of space for three couples. We were about 30 minutes from anywhere we wanted to visit. Loved getting back to the house to enjoy the backyard and the view. Eric was very easy and fun to communicate with. Would stay here again if going back to the area

The 6 of us seniors stayed here for 3 nights. We picked for location and we were not disappointed. Well equipped kitchen. 3 bathrooms was nice. Great views. Plenty of seating in mid-century furniture, not the most comfortable. We did have cable outage 2 nights.

You have a beautiful home. We enjoyed our stay there even though the weather did not cooperate for us to use your water front but the views were worth it. We could see the ships come in. The beds were very comfortable, including the cot- she said it was the most comfortable she ever slept on. We loved that the facilities included washer & dryer & soap. Your home was almost immaculate when we arrived. Your instruction booklet was very helpful. I appreciated your quick response to texts & letting us know the house was ready. Thank you again for sharing your home. 😊

We stayed here with our adult children and significant others. There were 6 in our party and we could have easily fit another couple. The communication from Eric was amazing before, during and after our trip.
The property was a slice of heaven. The home is georgous, and so much fun to look through all their collectibles. They had every single thing we needed during our stay (and then some) .
Bedrooms were all spacious and comfortable. There isn't central air, but we didn't miss it one bit, even though the week we were there was in the high 80s every day. They have box fans for all the rooms, so we ran those and woke up chilly everyday.
I cannot recommend this home enough. It is perfection.

Everything was as described on the vrbo listing. Eric was extremely responsive to a few questions we had prior to our arrival at the property. Watching the tidal changes was a special bonus to being close to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. We doubt we'll ever get to travel back but highly recommend the house in Lamoine to anyone who wants to have a relaxing, quiet vacation.

We did a lot of chasing to Bar Harbor on this trip, but all said if we were to do it again, we would hang out at our home base, Little Edessa. The neighborhood is quiet, the setting is amazing. Had we been able to move this entire place closer to Bar Harbor, it would have been ideal. Do yourselves a favor and come here, but give yourselves planty of time to enjoy it all. The kitchen is fully furnished, the coffee is provided, the time will go much too quickly. Just lean into the beautiful setting, inside and out. The views are AMAZING! And the first thing we noticed when we walked into the house was a cruise ship. Amazing.

Our family of 8 had a fantastic week and loved the stay at the beachfront property. The house itself was clean and comfortable for our family. the upstairs master bedroom did not have a door at the top of the stairs so we chose to stay in the downstairs bedroom and gave the upstairs room to 2 teenagers instead. The kitchen was well stocked and the gas stove/oven was useful for our night at home to cook. We were able to drive into and out of Acadia. We also enjoyed the backyard and a beautiful moonrise over the bay from the firepit and grassy yard.

Our family stayed here with our 7 and 11 year old. The kitchen was extremely well stocked and included a lobster/clam pot which we enjoyed using for a lobster bake dinner. The view was lovely and exploring low tide waters was a highlight for the kids. It’s a fun, eclectic home and we hope to return again.

Great place for a weekend getaway!! Lots of games to play indoors and out, huge fire pit, kayaks, and beach combing-was the perfect way to getaway with the family!! Close enough to bar harbor but mostly just stayed and explored the immediate area.

This home is quite charming with interesting and unique decor. Lots of room and huge back deck. Absolutely beautiful water view with the Acadia mountains in the background. Being from Virginia and used to hot, muggy summers, we were shocked that there was no air conditioning. However, we quickly found out that by opening the windows the home cooled quickly and it was refreshing to sleep with the cool air blowing through the home. Great communication with owner. I highly recommend this property.

Stayed at this property while traveling with our adult children. Perfect location to come and go to Acadia! Beautiful view from the back of the house! Eric was very attentive, even checking in with us via text to make sure we were doing OK. Great spot!

Property is clean, beds are comfy, rooms are large. Picture shows a teal range, which must have been and old picture the range is wonderful, kitchen is stocked even has a lobster pot which we took full advantage of. beautiful deck with large fire pit right on the ocean, We were unable to enjoy the kayaks because of the weather. we saw Deer, porcupines, wild turkeys, watching the tide roll out gave us the opportunity to take a walk on the rocks and look for shells an sea glass. Home is décor is eclectic, water pressure is low and though there is a couch and couple of chairs, nowhere to really get comfy except the beds after a loooong active day hiking.. I would highly recommend this home for your next outing

Eric and Gina are outstanding hosts with attention to detail. Their home is homey and spacious with top notch amenities. The view is spectacular and our family took advantage of exploring the shoreline by day and the stars by night. Thank you!

Eric was so helpful and responsive and made everything easy! The house had everything we needed and fit 4 adult couples comfortably. The backyard and fire pit overlooking the ocean are so wonderful and because of amazing weather, we took full advantage both nights we were there. It made a fantastic surprise getaway with friends for my husband's 50th!

This was the perfect location for our family vacation to Arcadia National Park. We enjoyed the view every morning and walking in the neighborhood. The house was perfect for our family.

Our October vacation in this beautiful home in Lamoine, Maine was perfect. The house was extremely comfortable, beautifully decorated and had all of the amenities which made us feel at home. The scenery was breathtaking and spectacular. We had water views and the fall colors just added to the beauty. Eric was very attentive to our needs and communicated with us to ensure that we had settled in comfortably. The location was close to Acadia and Bal Harbor with an easy drive to both. Our family played corn hole, roasted marshmallows in the fire pit, stargazed, watched the seagulls crack their clams on the rocks and just relaxed. We wished we could have stayed longer but if we do return to Maine one day, we hope to stay here again! Thank you for your hospitality! Ana D.

House is so well stocked and comfortable. View from the back deck was so beautiful. Fires at night in the fire pit right by the shore with hundreds of stars overhead. So peaceful - and a great location to access Acadia.

Couldn’t have gone smoother. Eric was great checking in before our stay, detailed information about how to get there, all about where to find things in the house and outside. The home was very clean and well stocked. Walking distance to Lamoine State Park. The views were spectacular. It’s about a 20 minute ride to downtown Bar Harbor. Wish we would of had more than 2 nights! Thanks Eric!

Just as advertised! Fully stocked kitchen. Beds were comfy. Views amazing. We spent days at Acadia, but it would have been great to have time just to hang in the neighborhood. The host was welcoming and we had absolutely no problems. Space was perfect for the 4 of us, but easily could fit more if family or couples were involved.

Stayed for 1 wk at Eric's place in early Sept. 2022 with my siblings while visiting MDI and points north. It was a nice, quiet getaway with space for all to spread out and relax after a long day of sight-seeing. We took advantage of the firepit 2 nights which was nice as we had a full-ish moon which rose up right over the water.
Ate breakfast most mornings there and cooked a couple of nights. Found everything we needed for cooking and clean-up. We used the washer/dryer several times and found them to be in good working order.
We had no problems with the well water and everyone had plenty of hot water for showers, dishwasher, etc. We used the grill one night and one evening tried to use the indoor fireplace but couldn't get it going even though we had Eric on the phone giving us step by step instructions (which was very kind of him).
Overall I would recommended. There is no air conditioning and it was bit unseasonably warm (except for that one rainy night) but there are ceiling fans in each of the rooms. If you run hot while you sleep you may want to bring a small portable fan.
The beds are comfortable and the rooms are decorated very eclectically with some home-made paintings and collections from the families travels domestic and abroad.
