Great spot

The house is in a great spot. Nice views and access to quiet side biking. The beach and dock were great, and nice to be close to southeast harbor and Thurston's. Bring bug spray!

Fall on the quiet side of MDI

Beautiful and peaceful location with a sunny deck overlooking the shore. The living spaces were comfy and the kitchen was well appointed. We also enjoyed using the grill on the deck.

Loved it - old farm house charm.

Loved it .. Quiet side of the island and easy to get to hiking trials - beach - ocean. Keep in mind it is an old farmhouse - very steep stairs like in a boat and lower ceiling height. small kitchen not a lot of counter space, so we used the large dining table. The stove - washer dryer all worked great. I hope to come back and rent again. Helpful hint.. With the park being very busy we got up at 6am and arrived at the hiking - beach by 7:15 if we waited until 8pm ... many parking lots would already be full. If you love the outdoors and New England perfect place. If you want "club med" then find and inn.

Cute Rustic cottage on the water

Very cute place with cottage feel. Beautiful views of the water and water access for kayaks was a plus.

Lovely house on beautiful shorefront property on Western side of MDI. This 5 acre property has gently sloping fields to a wonderful cobblestone beach with private deep water granite pier and dock. The first floor has a kitchen, bathroom, dining room living room, office and reading parlor. The upstairs has 3 bedrooms. The master has a double futon and the 2 smaller bedrooms have each have 2 twin beds. A new kitchen has just been installed.
The beach is perfect for private lobster bakes, shelling and searching for sea glass or simply enjoying the incredible sunsets. The 150' pier with 24' floating dock will accommodate your boating activities along with a mooring suitable for a 50' vessel. The area is ideally suited for kayaking and sailing in the protected reaches of Blue Hill Bay.
The Southwestern exposure provides incredible views towards Swans Island and the outer reaches of Blue Hill Bay.
The villages of Bass Harbor and Bernard are approximately 1 mile away. There's great hiking along the shore or in the nearby National Park. An easy walk to the nearby bus stop provides free bus service throughout the island. The location is truly amazing and must be seen to be appreciated.
