About this house rental
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 shoreline 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.
The spacious balcony provides a front-row seat to watch lobster boats in the bay, along with cormorants and seagulls commuting to and from the ocean. You might also spot loons and other fascinating seabirds, with the occasional bald eagle soaring overhead. Each morning brings an awe-inspiring sunrise, showcasing a different display of nature's wonders.
The cottage at Baycliff is fully furnished and features a beautiful fully equipped kitchen with stunning views. It includes two full baths, a half bath, and is equipped with a high tier internet, WiFi, and cable channels. You’ll also have the convenience of a washer and dryer. The walk-out basement is perfect for work or play, offering gaming tables, monitors, and office chairs.
There are two upstairs bedrooms and a main-level bedroom, all furnished with queen-sized beds, plus a finished basement featuring a bunk bed. The master bedroom window overlooks Frenchman Bay, allowing you to wake up to glorious sunrises every morning.
The property is shared with two cabins - The Guest House, (Vrbo# 887888 ), which is 50 yards further up the hill and The Pines, (Vrbo# 887970), is a further 100 yards beyond that.
One of the property’s main features is the communal cliffside deck, which is shared by all three rentals: the Baycliff Cottage, the Guest House, and The Pines.
The deck sits at the edge of the property and offers wide, open views of the water, nearby islands, and distant mountains. It includes built-in bench seating and a picnic table, making it a comfortable place to sit, eat, or relax. The views from the property are stunning.
Please note: The stairs to the beach were destroyed by storms in 2023, and we no longer have direct beach access. The cliffs, views, decks, and overlooks remain fully accessible and just as beautiful.

We had a wonderful stay here . The house was clean and stocked with everything that we needed. My only complaint would be the living room furniture. There wasn’t enough seating for everyone and it was uncomfortable the same goes for the deck other than that the house was great and the location was close to town

We just spent a magical week here with our four boys (aged eight and under) and we’re already scheming our next visit. This house is genuinely one of the best places we’ve ever stayed with young kids, and we don’t say that lightly.The location was ideal for everything we wanted to do — close to Bar Harbor, Acadia, and all the spots that made our week so special. It’s a beautiful, thoughtfully equipped home that clearly was set up by people who care.The setup for families is exceptional. The yard was perfect for the boys to run around while the baby napped, and both the yard and the porch felt so safe for the kids to play on. We especially loved that the landscaping created a clear, natural boundary from the water — as parents of little ones, that gave us real peace of mind.And the chipmunks! The kids were absolutely enchanted. We loved that they had names, and the boys were convinced they could tell them apart and spent the week calling them by name. Feeding them became one of the highlights of the whole trip.We also have to mention the binder — we read the entire thing, and it’s hands down the most helpful guest binder we have ever come across. The local recommendations were spot on. Sweet Peas, in particular, was a fantastic call: they have a whole field where the kids can play with soccer balls while you eat, and the food was excellent!

Kevin was great to communicate with. Very thorough and property was very clean. Enjoyed our time exploring Acadia and the surrounding area, and will look to return. Great stay!

Came to Baycliff for a week of cross country skiing on the Acadia carriage roads. The house is wonderful! It is very warm and cozy. The views are truly like a postcard. The kitchen had the appliances/dishes/utencils/pots and pans I needed to make my own meals and the washer and dryer were very helpful. The location is very convenient to Acadia and downtown Bar Harbor. The owner was extremely responsive and friendly. If you have the opportunity to stay here, do it!
