Amazing Ocean Front View of Frenchman Bay
About this house rental
Situated in Bar Harbor, this lovely house for $218 per night is a fantastic option for your next trip. Baycliff's home entertainment system is nature. Watch nature unfold in all its splendor from the comfort of the dining room table or couch. The large windows and skylights let you witness the changing character of Frenchman Bay. Watch amazing sunrises and sunsets, clouds racing across the sky, the moodiness of an overcast day or the approach of a storm. It's a never-ending story of change. The beach also changes its character to the ebb and flow of the tide. There are boulders that are exposed during low tide along with the seaweed. Watch lobster boats work the bay or cormorants and sea gulls commuting too and from the ocean. There are loons and other interesting seabirds to watch and find. The occasional bald eagle may also pass by. The cottage is fully furnished with a beautiful kitchen, that also has a great view. Two full baths and a half bath The house has a high tier internet connection, WiFi and cable channels. There is a washer and dryer. There are two upstairs bedrooms, a main level bedroom and a finished basement that has a bunk bed. New for the 2023 is full house air conditioning!

The house was located on and provided access to the shore of Frenchman Bay. The views were fantastic from the kitchen, dining room and living room given the almost wall to wall and ceiling to floor windows and sliding glass door. The house was clean from top to bottom and very comfortable. The location was perfect with easy access to the waterfront and shops in Bar Harbor and to Acadia NP. The owner and property manager reached out to let us know they were readily available if needed. It was a great experience.

Baycliff is the perfect spot! So close to downtown and Hulls Cove visitors center for Acadia. Kevin was an amazing host and checked in with us throughout the stay. The house was immaculate and the view of the bay was to die for. Everything we could have needed was there (sheets, towels, TP). Having a first floor bedroom and bathroom was perfect for the grandparents traveling with us. Waking up every morning to that view (and the sunrises!) to have our coffee and breakfast is a luxury I will not forget. If you have the chance to snag this place, do not hesitate! We had a perfect stay.

This was our second time at Baycliff. Such a lovely serene spot. The house is comfortable, clean and well equipped. You can just sit for hours and enjoy the tidal change or easily go into Bar Harbor for shopping and restaurants or head to Acadia for hiking. Don’t miss popovers at Jordan Pond House- it’s a must do!

We had a lovely family vacation at Baycliff. Both Bar Harbor and Acadia are easy and quick to get to, and coming home to the waterfront each afternoon was a pleasure. Thanks Kevin for being a great host and answering all my questions!

Exquisite setting overlooking Frenchman’s Bay with views from deck & rear sliding doors, with a path leading down to the shore. House is full of light. Well-appointed kitchen was a joy to cook in. All beds extremely comfortable & baths with great water pressure & plentiful hot water. Very quiet, surrounded by beautiful trees and other plantings. We ate meals on the deck and reveled in the ever-changing vista of water and sky, watching lobster boats, pleasure craft and seabirds. Short drive to Bar Harbor & Acadia. The house more than met our expectations & was a wonderful home base for our Maine holiday.

We stayed at Baycliff for a week and absolutely loved it. We stayed in the area to enjoy Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. Baycliff is a perfect location for both places and has the MOST awesome sunrise views. I would highly recommend staying here. We have nothing but praise for this propery and the area!

We could not be more pleased with our stay at Baycliff. The house is perfectly sited on the shore of Frenchman Bay with both a fine shoreline deck (for afternoon cribbage games) and steps down to explore low tide treasures. The sunrises from the house deck were incredible. The entire house, and especially the kitchen, is very well-appointed with everything we needed (we loved the Nikon binoculars for viewing the birdlife and passing lobster boats). Our gourmet cooks appreciated the the high-end pots, pans, and knives. We hope to return.

Basement smells VERY musty and never improved during stay, we had to move our son to the middle level. Bedding was faded and worn. There were no extra pillows or any blankets. Kitchen needed basic items like tongs and larger spatulas. Bathrooms had mold around glass door enclosures. Outdoor furniture did not allow to dine outside, cocktail size table. Kitchen table was missing a chair. AC is only in some rooms.
Bannister on deck was rickety and we thought unsafe.

Our family had a great time at Briarcliff. The views are amazing. We spent so much time on the deck looking out over the rocky beach and water. The location is perfect since it's only a short drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor. We would definitely stay here again.
5.0
Beautiful view and home. Very close to the water with all the conveniences of a full sized home, including a 220V outlet for our electric car. We enjoyed being near the water and exploring the shore at low tide before and after our visits to the park. This home made the vacation a full 24 hour experience. We hope to stay there again.

We looked forward to our week away in beautiful Acadia for a long time. Even though a week can seem a short time our one week in the incredible setting seemed like forever…
We celebrated our shared birthday, our longtime friendship, and the wonders of nature.
This property is outstanding, The main house was charming and filled with all the essentials including a tripod and binoculars, so clean and comfy. We immediately felt at home.
We hope to rent here again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this home. Incredible views of Frenchman Bay. Perfect location to downtown Bar Harbor and access to Acadia National Park. The home certainly met our needs for the week. Plenty of room to relax and enjoy the surrounding environment. I look forward to returning for another visit.

Of course the ocean view was as beautiful as advertised, but we were really impressed that all the appliances actually worked. Dishwasher, washer, dryer, stove etc. We also appreciated the numerous hangers that were in all the closets. A wonderful 7 day stay in this property.

A marvelous home with all the amenities one could desire. Fantastic views of Frenchman's Bay, easily accessible beachfront for walking and tidal pool exploring, close to Acadia NP and Bar Harbor, but in a quiet, relaxing neighborhood. We chose Baycliff for our 40th anniversary getaway and enjoyed every minute of our time there. You won't regret a stay at Baycliff, we highly recommend it!

Kevin was great with communications, etc. The house was perfect for us, two retired couples. Awesome place to spend a few hours just enjoying the views at breakfast, lunch, or happy hour! We kayaked over to the "ovens" at high tide a few times, another bonus! Great location, I'd come here again. Pete.

We enjoyed our stay. The house is nicely appointed. It has beautiful scenic views of the bay in a quiet woodsy location. Easy drive into downtown and Acadia National Park.

My family and I had a wonderful stay. The property is right on the water. Incredibly beautiful views. I went swimming every day (water was great but a bit on the colder side). A bald eagle came and landed in the trees by the house and ate his lunch (a fish). Not far from Bar Harbor and close to Acadia national part visitors center.
5.0
Wonderful stay and property was nice and comfortable. The view is amazing, and you can walk on the rocky beach during low tide and explore with the kids. Would stay here again.
5.0
This is a wonderful house. Comfortable and well equipped. But the showstopper is the extraordinary view from the back deck--every time of day, every type of weather and it nearly always is in the shade. We saw seals, porpoises, myriad bird life. And a nice staircase takes you directly to a wonderful beach waiting to be combed. Communication with Kevin was prompt and clear. We shall return.

This property was perfect for our family vacation in Bar Harbor. The space was ideal- the basement space was perfect for my teenage niece so she has a place for alone time. The porch was amazing, the beach was very private
