Comfortable bayfront home with beautiful views, large deck & on-site tennis
About this house rental
Compass Rose Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!' Admire breathtaking views of Sawyer's Cove toward Blue Hill Bay from this stunningly situated home on the western shores of Mount Desert Island, where you'll have an expansive wrap-around deck right near the water. Built in 2004, this bayfront home is modern, spacious, comfortable, and tucked neatly into the island's mature woodlands. You and your family will be treated to two complete levels of living space, two full kitchens to make cooking with your loved ones a breeze, and wonderful access to Southwest Harbor, Bar Harbor, and the incredible landscapes of Acadia National Park. A community tennis court is perfect for outdoor recreation. Beachcombers and kayakers will appreciate being able to walk just a few steps to the shores of idyllic Sawyer's Cove. Should you choose to leave the property (and you may not), the bustling villages of Southwest Harbor (seven miles) and Bar Harbor (14 miles) are only minutes away by car, and you'll find the Seal Cove portion of Acadia just down the road. When you're not strolling the Ocean Path or cycling on carriage roads in the park, you can enjoy the very quiet cove watching shorebirds and beautiful sunsets. Please respect the families in homes nearby, and remember that sound travels clearly over water.

Lovely if you want quiet surroundings and a beautiful view. Groceries and activities are far. Would have been a real plus if the house had a kayak or paddle board.

Everything in the house was just as described. The location is wonderful. Beautiful views of the ocean and islands from the deck. The house is on the less busy side of Mount Desert, and it’s very quiet and peaceful, while still being very close to all the Acadia attractions, restaurants and grocery stores. We had a great week with lots of hiking, seafood, and beautiful scenery. The one thing that could have made the stay better would be blinds or shades in some of the bedrooms. The master in particular had no shades on the windows or sliding door. This created privacy issues, and was unpleasant when the sun is rising just after 5 am. Other than that, the house is wonderful.

Our family of 8 ranging in age from 70 to 7 all very much enjoyed our stay. The house was meticulously clean. All paper products and toiletries were supplied. We appreciated that there was no automobile noise and very limited boat noise. The sunsets, seen through the trees were gorgeous.
We spent a lot of time on the lovely deck. An A+ vacation for everyone.

This lovely home made us feel welcome from the moment we first walked through the front door. The view was amazing. The views were breathtaking and the two porches with the gentle breezes made watching the sunset a nightly event. The home was very comfortable and well equipped for all. I can’t imagine a better location to spend a few days exploring nature, food, and quaint shops. Definitely a wonderful stay for everyone.

The house was immaculate, comfortable and spacious. We loved how quiet it was on this part of the island, and the harbor was absolutely gorgeous. Loved sitting on the deck!

Comfortable stay with dramatic views
A very nice home in a magnificent location. the home was well laid out and kitchen was well stocked. Master bedroom was very comfortable with plenty of towels and bedding throughout.That said, furniture was a bit tired and downstairs beds "well used". The downstairs oven went into a fault code resulting in a beeping warning when we tried to use it and when we consulted the manual, the same code had been circled by someone, indicating that this had been a recurring issue. Otherwise, our group had a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

The house was large enough for eight adults to spread out and was furnished nicely. Watching sunsets from the back deck was amazing. Whoever uses the master bedroom should be aware that there are NO curtains or blinds on the double glass doors leading to the large back deck, hence no privacy from anyone on that side of the deck. We asked our companions to please not go to that area. We all had a great stay here and would rent again.

We had a great week at Compass Rose. The view from the deck of the cove is one of the most peaceful views I have ever had- great way to enjoy a morning coffee or a beautiful sunset.
My wife likes to cook and found the kitchen well stocked. We had breakfast there every day and some dinners. The master bedroom is very spacious with his and hers bathrooms plus rooms downstairs for the kids to have their own space. We had to call the local Vacasa contact with a couple questions and he was also helpful.
It is on the quiet side of the island so is a drive to Bar Harbor and restaurants/groceries but close to the less hectic nice Southwest Harbor and Echo Lake Beach and Long Pond for swimming.

Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our time at the house. We had a large family there and found there to be plenty of spaces to spend time as a big group and for individuals to get away if they needed. The upstairs kitchen was big enough to accommodate several people cooking at once and the couches in the upstairs living room also fit all of us. The view was incredible and it was fairly easy to walk down an overgrown trail to get to the water. We really enjoyed being away from the crowds. The house was also bright and the deck was great and we all enjoyed spending time out there. The bedrooms were mostly as described, although one of the bedrooms listed as a queen bed was a full. The kitchen table also didn't really fit all 8 of us. Another small complaint was that there weren't really any extra towels, soaps, or shampoos to be found. Our only significant issue was the internet. The cell phone service was bad for all of us (we used several different carriers in the group) and thus had to rely on the wi-fi. The signal was okay at best even sitting next to the router and non-existent in several areas of the house. It also went out for hours at a time on several occasions. As a group, we felt that the spotty internet should have been made clear in the listing.

We had a wonderful stay at compass rose. The large deck overlooking the water and secluded, peaceful location were the best parts. We spent the days exploring Acadia national park and looked to returning in the evening to relax on the deck.

Lovely home, very spacious with beautiful views. Centrally located and easy drive to Acadia National Park, scenic areas and nice restaurants.
The balcony is lovely but the dock is not accessible and there’s not an easy or cleared path down to the water. Would have been nice to be able to go down and sit by the beach.
Overall, a very comfortable, clean and well-stocked home. We enjoyed our stay.

We had an amazing time staying at the house (6 people + dog) - the house was clean, and had all the essential stuffs (soap, shampoo, towels etc) ; amazing view and only 30 mins from Acadia National Park - would totally come back again!!The only reason for the 4 stars rather than 5 was because of the dishwasher was leaking water

House was very clean, neat and comfortable with lots of room.
The roominess, cleanliness and how it had everything needed for a great stay are its assets along with a beautiful view in the back.
