Ideally located between Acadia National Park’s Schoodic Peninsula and Mt Desert Island, your serene cottage has private access to an unspoiled coast with wonderful views of Frechman Bay and Cadillac Mountain. Explore all the beauty of Acadia National Park, climb local mountains, kayak the Mt Desert Narrows or just watch the tides and mountains from your private deck!

Breathe in the salty coast air as you arrive at Water’s Edge. Marvel at the natural beauty of the coastline as you unpack before stepping outside to take in the true beauty of Downeast Maine. With a furnished deck and gas grill, cool summer days can be spent barbecuing outside as the loons drift by and seals bask on nearby rocks.

Inside, the home offers an open-concept living area with vaulted ceilings and comfortable seating. This 2-bedroom, 1 bath home has water views from every room. Downstairs has the bedrooms, living room, bath and kitchen. The primary has a king bed, while the other bedroom has a queen bed. Upstairs is a loft with full bed and futon.

The view was worth a million bucks, the home was very well stocked and clean. Had great communication with our host, Dean and no problems at all on arrival. We saw deer, raccoon, chippy munks, turkey and a bald eagle flying right past the front windows everyday. Great stay!

We had a great stay! The views here were fantastic and the house was very clean. It was an easy drive into most of Acadia, but we had a hard time wanting to leave the adirondack chairs out back by the water.

Water’s Edge was the perfect stay for a perfect week. We arrived the day after Christmas Day’s snow and left the day after New Year Day’s snow. In between we rested in this charming home with sublime views or explored Acadia’s winter offerings on Mt Desert and Schoodic Point.Each morning presented a unique sunrise view from cozy seating arrayed around the large living room windows, perched over stone retaining walls. The home and kitchen had everything we needed plus extra amenities that we enjoyed and local recommendations that we followed. The Owner was thoughtful, inviting, and quick to respond to questions. He made a beautiful setting also a stay with ease. We highly recommend this home for your stay.

One of my favorite rentals we have ever stayed! Amazing views every morning for sunrise. Enjoyed sitting and watching the wildlife from the deck and the shore. House is exactly as advertised. We kayaked the Bay and it was a very convienent location to explore Acadia and the surrounding areas without being right in the mess of all the people in Bar Harbor. Perfect for our family. Everyone loved it!

Waking up to amazing views

Great views out the large windows. Amazing sunrises in the morning and great days to view the bay and surrounding islands, etc.Our stay was early in the year, April, so there wasn't a lot of traffic on land or in the bay, but we enjoyed it being nice and quiet for our vacation.Will likely try to find this place again for our next visit in a few years.

Breathtaking views and quiet location

If you are looking for a quiet place to rest this is one of the best houses I have ever rented. Also, the location is unbeatable if you want to visit Acadia National Park but don't want to suffer the crowds. The house is just as the pictures show, it has everything you need. Simple but very well equipped.Dean is a great host and willing to solve any problem.
