Decorated beautifully! Wonderful location. Responsive host!

Union River Retreat Private Apartment
Beautiful and cozy place and very responsive and accommodating host. Place is 30 mins drive from bar harbor and Acadia . The river down the house is an additional beauty in its own. The place had everything you need. The care the host took for arranging everything is really appreciated.

2 bedroom furnished apartment
Very comfortable. Nice place. And the food downstairs is great!

Andrew Peter's Block Apartment 3
Amazing location in quant and charming smalltown Maine! As close as it gets to Acadia without having to pay exorbitant lodging prices. Amenities were beautiful and the unit was well furnished and clean. Would highly recommend a stay here and may even come back again myself!

The Reach Retreat
Wow! What a spectacular location! Only wished we had more time to stay longer! Absolutely adorable and immaculate place. Very reasonably priced! You couldn’t ask for friendlier people. I felt like Maggie was an old friend right from the moment I met her. We enjoyed watching the seals from backyard. I sat on steps every morning with coffee, enjoying the sunrise, while watching seals with the binoculars. The most gorgeous view! I enjoyed the book Stonington before and after. That is a neat old fishing town on the island worth checking out. We drove to Acadia two days. Rode e-bikes on 23 miles of carriage roads and drove the loop. I would love to come back and stay longer next time!

Penthouse Dynamic Water Views
We had a great stay at the Penthouse! It was a perfect launching point for our downeast adventures in Acadia and points beyond. There was a beautiful waterfront view in a charming small town. The space was cozy, clean, modern and very comfortable for our stay. Highly recommend it.

Cozy apartment at Cabin Cove
Nancy's place was perfect for our trip to Maine! We drove to Acadia from here and it was about an hour drive. The apartment was cozy and had a great view, she had everything well stocked and even provided coffee which I appreciated since I forgot to bring some!! Highly recommend for a nice Maine getaway.

The American Eagle - Inn on the Harbor
This is run by a company that is remote, not on site and therefore not familiar with the seasonal changes in terms of closures and what is actually available at a particular time of year.

Harbormaster’s House: Picturesque Waterfront
Great place to stay on the "Quiet Side". We are regulars on MDI and love this area so so much. The kitchen was well-appointed: especially amazed at the selection of herb/spices as a person who likes to cook. The home is fun and eclectic with interesting books, games, card decks (with all the cards!) and multiple areas to hang-out and relax. It was a little chilly for use of boathouse and kayaks, but I can imagine how nice that would have been. Our GPS had the address on the wrong side and not as far down the street.

Waterfront hideaway
Beautiful, comfortable, private and secluded, nestled in the woods with a view of the water. 8 deer frequently visit this property!

Enchanting waterfront home on serene 15 acres
Unbelievable place! This is perfect coastal Maine , so no need to leave property.its close to a great beach , Acadia, and host makes it easy and a wonderful experience!

Shorefront Cottage
Dora and Daniel's home was the perfect location for our first trip to the area. We were grateful not to be in the middle of the mayhem of Bar Harbor but close to Acadia National Park - our purpose for being there. It was the perfect space for two couples who appreciated having our own space. The large kitchen, two living rooms, deck and large sized bedrooms were clean, comfortable, and often sunny! It was quiet at night - occasionally we'd hear a boat go out in the middle of the night. We used the fire pit one day (purchased 3 bundles of wood) as we watched the tide come in and go out. The approach to this property (a blue barrel that says "no trespassing") and the dilapidated structure to the right of the property along the shoreline was a little unnerving but it grew on us after a few days. The view of the harbor if we looked straight ahead was beautiful. We also enjoyed Beal's Lobster Pier twice; a short walk from the house.

Modern Lakeside Home
Great as always. Zack is a wonderful host and we enjoy staying at his beautiful house.

Lakeside Retreat House: Fire pit + Lake + float
This place was a great location, we stayed here for a concert at Bangor Waterfront. We loved the amenities and the fire place. The beds were extremely comfortable. Would recommend!!

Apple Cottage - Waterfront 2 Bedroom Cottage - SWH
What a beautiful cottage! The pictures don’t do it justice. Water views of the bay from the master bedroom, living room and porch. So close to Acadia trails in Southwest Harbor or Seawall. We hiked the main park on the Bar Harbor side in the morning, came home to rest then went to some great trails less than 10 min away from the cottage (Wonderland and Flying Mountain loop) walked to Charlotte Legendary Lobster for dinner one night. Say countless deer. Super peaceful and clean cottage. Easy to get everywhere we wanted to go. Loved our stay!

Lakefront Cottage on Brewer Lake
Perfect cabin to celebrate our 30th anniversary. Super clean and idyllic for romantic get away. Definitely will recommend.
Waterfront condo rentals

Peaceful Cozy 2BR Unit w/ Dockside Views [Topside
Patrick’s place was so quaint and cute! We felt very cozy and the entire place felt extremely clean. The bedding was sooo comfortable, so much so that we looked up the brand and almost bought some for ourselves! Would definitely stay here again.

Marina side Stern condo
The photos don't do this place justice. It was spacious and squeaky clean. Beautiful views of the water. For a busy marina it was pretty quiet. During the day there would be people just outside the unit talking but nothing disruptive. Great price for a beautiful place. Only about a 25min drive to Bar Harbor. We would definitely stay here again.

Toddy Haven: A Lakeside Condo Near Acadia.
BEAUTIFUL landscape directly on a lake with access to fishing poles, kayaks, and canoes, we felt like we didn’t need to leave the property at all. Perfect location to visit Acadia and near by towns. I wish we could have stayed for twice as long. The condo itself seems to be brand new! The beds were comfortable and the decorations and big screen tv were a nice touch. We spent hours on the dock and in the lake (kayaks). Cannot wait to return to this slice of heaven.

2BR Condo Downtown SWH + Ocean Views [Driftwood]
Great place with beautiful view. Super clean, easily fit 6 people (we have 4 adults and 2 kids). There are some board games for kids, they were happy with them and left us alone. Expected street noise as we read from other reviews, which didn’t bother me. Place is close to Acadia National Park, and there is a Walmart 15-20 minutes drive away. One thing you may want to know is that the location of this place is at the south of the island while the way back to main land is on the north. This means you need to drive north before you can head back to south (Portland, Boston, etc.). Overall, I super recommend this place.

2BR Condo + Ocean Views in Downtown SW [Seaglass]
Excellent stay in this flat, very well equipped, well located and as per the photos. Patrick's instructions for check-in and check-out were very clear and allowed guests complete autonomy. Only downside: it's true that the flat is not very well soundproofed, so it's easy to hear people upstairs. Otherwise it was perfect!

Best views on MDI 2 bdrm 2 bth condo waterfront
Well-equipped with guidebooks, kitchen implements, extra pillows, bikes, even a lobster steam pot! We lacked for nothing. Loved the photographs throughout the condo showcasing Acadia NP. Especially loved the map on the wall showing what islands we could see from the balcony. Neighbors were quite friendly & gave several good restaurant recommendations. Peaceful & quiet side of the island allowed for restful sleep each night such that I wasn’t tired after our vacation.
