About this house rental

Situated in Winter Harbor, this charming house for $519 per night is a great choice for your next vacation. Ocean’s Edge is located in the quiet village of Summer Harbor, just next to Winter Harbor and about 35 minutes from Bar Harbor – and the main portion of Acadia National Park. Our property offers stunning views and a quiet retreat in coastal Maine with easy access to hiking, shopping, golfing, and dining. The house itself is a luxurious log cabin - perfect for a comfortable getaway with oversized bathtubs and an open-air feeling. It boasts floor-to-ceiling windows in the main portion of the house, a chefs kitchen, and plenty of natural light. It also has a laundry room, an expansive front deck, and surrounding grounds that are perfect for exploring. Guests often spot eagles, porcupines, minke whales, and other wildlife in the early morning hours! The size and layout of the house makes it perfect for larger or smaller groups. Ocean's Edge also has a floating dock, and boat mooring is available for small and large vessels. The coastline is great to kayak and paddleboard along as the waters are peaceful in good weather. In the morning you could enjoy the deck and sip some coffee while you take in the view and plan your day. During the day you could read book on the dock, walk the shoreline in search of starfish, or set out into the water with a kayak. For dinner grill up a fresh lobster and steamers and enjoy the spectacular sunset. If you're interested in exploring the area, drive over (or even ride your bike) to Acadia National Park’s lesser travelled Schoodic Peninsula and hike along the bold granite coastline. Grab some lunch in the quaint town of Winter Harbor where you can visit galleries and shop for gifts made by local artisans. You can also head to nearby Jones Pond or Donnell Pond to swim and fish. For more adventures, you can catch the ferry to Bar Harbor and hike the trails of Acadia, or walk around Bar Harbor. While there are two fireplaces in the home, unfortunately, insurance restrictions prohibit the use of these by tenants. Please see language in rental agreement that will be provided. Additional Booking Info: We require an additional rental contract upon booking. Check-in instructions are shared with guests 24 hours prior to arrival.

The home is very modern and artistically decorated. Landscaped grounds are well maintained. All furniture is new and comfortable. Our family and friends had a beautiful week in this location. The only thing to be aware of is that the loft bedroom is completely open to the living area below which could be fine for children, but was slightly uncomfortable for my adult son and his girlfriend.

Property exceeded expectations. It was clean, functional, close enough to Bar Harbour but far enough to feel separation, and the views were unmatched. Our kids played on the rocky shore for hours, we cooked in the kitchen and had dinner on the back deck watching the ocean. Great week overall

We loved every minute at this house. The location cannot be better. It’s so quiet, and the views are glorious. There are decorative touches all over the house, and some of them are fragile so it isn’t a house for rough housing. All the spaces are generous, the beds are comfortable, the kitchen is easy to use. Eating out on the deck overlooking the garden and ocean is a special experience. We enjoyed kayaking off the dock every morning and watching bald eagles fish in the cove. The Wi-Fi is pretty weak, which we found to be part of the charm of disconnecting.

Although the house and property are beautiful this negative review is due to difficulties with the host In the 9 months after booking, we contacted the host (rarely) with vital questions about our stay. The host did not respond via the VRBO portal. By googling we found a phone # - contact still very slow. Final contact was one week prior to arrival, seeking check-in details. 6 days later we were shocked to receive a secondary contract to sign before she would provide check in info. Despite our issues with the contract, her lawyer was unavailable to discuss until after we were on our way to Maine. Manipulated and coerced, we signing the contract to prevent cancellation of our trip. We respectfully left the house exactly as we found it. Thusly we were flabbergasted to hear from VRBO of a $500 charge by the host who accused us of staining the living room rug and rearranging furniture to cover the damage. Totally untrue!!!! We tried to contact the host for discussion, to no avail. We contacted VRBO to contest the charges. They promised an investigation including our side of the story - never happened! The charge was processed, with no input from us. Our last recourse was contesting the charge with our credit card company. We provided a detailed report and filled in a lengthy questionnaire. They thoroughly reviewed our side of the story and vindicated us by refunding all of our money. We won yes, but this experience has left an ugly stain on our vacation memories.

Hurricane Fiona put a bit of a damper, literally, on our vacation plans at the end of the week but that gave us more time to do a puzzle, cook, visit, eat and watch movies. Before that however, we were able to get out on the kayak we brought with us and the paddle board we rented. We saw harbor seals and porpoises which was definitely a highlight! Really a wonderful week!,

Oceans Edge is a gem of a place! Far enough from Bar Harbor to enjoy seclusion, close enough to visit as often as you like. The home is well appointed in every regard and the gardens and grounds are superb.And who wouldn't want to watch from the dock eagles hunting while the sun sets. This is a daytrippers dream.
