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.

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.

Peaceful getaway

My husband and I enjoyed our stay immensely! Honestly we love the house so much we spent half of our time just relaxing and enjoying the view. It’s a great place to take time to slow down which we don’t really get to do with our jobs.

Spring in Maine

We got caught in a mid-April Nor'easter on the way to this beautiful property. It was still so peaceful and beautiful. The property feels very private and quiet. The views are stunning and the cabin is cozy and warm.

Magical

Our stay at Water's Edge was truly a magical experience. The weather was perfect for opening windows and enjoying the deck overlooking the water with seagull calls and bouy bells for background noise. The location was absolutely perfect and everything about the cabin was clean, organized, and perfect for a week away. The drive into Acadia was easy, and there were plenty of markets and restaurants nearby to get everything we needed. We will definitely be back!

This was our second stay at this property and it has become my favorite place I’ve ever stayed. You can beat the views, it’s a great location, super quiet area and not far from Bar Harbor and surrounding towns. Dean was quick to respond easy to get ahold of. As long as my husband keeps letting me, we’re going to try to keep coming back!

Breathtaking

Beautifully planned space that provides stunning panoramic views. The kitchen was well stocked with essentials for a family of four (paper towels, coffee filters, salt, pepper). The linens were lovely and the home was incredibly clean. We made day trips into Acadia which was a 45+ minutes depending on which part of the park you’re headed to.

Amazing Maine escape!

This place was truly a treasure! We enjoyed exploring the quieter side of Acadia, with all the hiking, biking, kayaking, and wildlife we could hope for! From starting our mornings sipping coffee looking out over the water to falling asleep to the sound of gentle waves, we can't wait to return!

I don’t think there could have been a better place to stay. The house was the most well stocked and had so much charm. And the view!! We woke up to enjoy gorgeous sunrises over the bay, and after hiking in Acadia National Park, would bring dinner back to enjoy the amazing ambiance of this place.

Why they chose this property

This home offers spectacular water views. You feel like you are on the bridge of ship in the living. The view from the deck is excellent too. The neighborhood is quiet and we at near the end of a dead-end road.
