The house was great! The property is fairly secluded. There is a house on each side of the property, but you are hidden from them and have the beach to yourself. The owners had so many amenities there. There was such attention to detail and anticipation of what a group might want/need. A well furnaces kitchen, plenty of supplies for activities, binoculars, a noise machine for the bedrooms, etc ... The house is perfect for a quiet get away.But, if you are looking for more, while there, it's only an hour from Bar Harbor and 45 minutes from Ellsworth, if you are looking for restaurants and shops.

Amazing Property with Great Views

The house was amazing! Very clean inside and outside and plenty of room for us. The sights and sounds of the ocean made for relaxing evenings after hiking in Acadia, and the large back porch area allowed us to spend plenty of time outside. Corea was a nice little town with necessities relatively accessible. Pictures definitely do not do the property justice. I would stay here again!

Corea Getaway

Could not have ask for a more lovely place to stay in ME. There was plenty of room for all - extremely comfortable and all the amenities you need. The back deck provides a stunning view of the cove and Cadillac Mtn in the distance. It gave us the seclusion we wanted; yet, it was an easy drive to any number of tourist sites and attractions. Close to the Schoodic peninsula and within a 45 minutes to Bar Harbor and ANP. Highly recommend a stay here anytime of year.

Amazing Stay

When we booked this house over a year ago, my excitement was high and increased as each day passed. When we finally arrived, all my expectations were met plus some! We had a group of 9 with ages ranging from 5-69. Our stay was so peaceful and enjoyable! It was our two youngest first trip to Maine and their standard of vacationing in Maine was set VERY HIGH! We definitely want to come back!

We loved the home and property. It is a bit remote, perfect for me and my husband, but a little secluded for our young adult children. The house is fully stocked with anything you might need and very comfortable. The view off the back patio was serene and we enjoyed our mornings and evenings outside, despite the weather only offering is one sunset. We would definitely stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Sara Buchen-Ray

Host profile image
We currently live in Chicago, IL but we purchased this property in Maine in 2010. My husband was born and raised in Maine. We decided to buy this property so we could get back to Maine. This is our family home that gets used a lot from family and friends who live on the east coast.

Why they chose this property

We chose our property on Shark Cove Road because of the tranquility of the area. We love having a private road with very few neighbors.

What makes this property unique

Our property is unique due to the views of the wide open Atlantic Ocean and the rugged coastline.
