We so enjoyed our stay at Bayside Vista. The place was spacious and so clean. There were coffee, snacks and candies to name a few of the unexpected extras. And the view is absolutely gorgeous. You can walk to restaurants and a great ice cream shop is across the way. Lauri is the best host and we would definitely stay there again. Bayside Vista exceeded our expectations.

Bayside Vista is a perfect place to stay and explore the Penobscot Bay region. It is a great hub for visiting Belfast, Searsport, Camden, Castine, the Deer Isle Peninsula, and more (all within 30 minutes). Acadia is a 60-minute drive. Bucksport itself is charming, and we enjoyed jogging on the community trail near the high school and checking out the fort and bridge! The apartment is spacious and clean, with everything one needs. A great place to chill and enjoy the view of the boats coming and going! All the little extras that were provided were a nice touch, and Lauri was a great host. We are definitely returning!

We had a wonderful stay at Bayside Vista. The condo was spacious and even larger than we expected. It struck the perfect balance of feeling clean while still warm and inviting. The panoramic views of the Penobscot Narrows Bridge and river were absolutely stunning. The location couldn't have been better—right in the heart of downtown Bucksport with easy walking access to restaurants and a fantastic local ice cream shop. The kitchen was well stocked, making it easy to prepare meals, and the thoughtfully arranged coffee station was a nice touch each morning. Bucksport itself is an idyllic New England town, offering exactly the kind of charming Northeastern experience we were hoping for. We highly recommend it to anyone exploring the Maine coast.

Just perfect!

This place is amazing! So clean, so big and in the perfect location. Bucksport is a cute little town and only 1-2 hour drive from some great destinations (Bar Harbor , Boothbay, Camden, 201 road, Acadia ect.). The owners take amazing care of this place and it had everything we needed and more for our family (2 adults, 2 kids)

Beautiful place and location

Cozy place with modern amenities and a fantastic view. The coffee and tea bar is wonderful and thoughtfully prepared. The kitchen is perfectly stocked and fun to cook in. The best part was lounging on the couch, looking at the penobscot narrows, while enjoying the peaceful quiet with my partner while we knitted. Thank you for the relaxing vacation.

The most beautiful hidden gem of a property

This was my favorite rental of all-time. The view is beyond incredible. Getting to see the bay at all different times of day in all different light was my favorite part of the stay. The condo is so tranquil and relaxing. Lauri is an exceptionally hospitable host. Thank you for such great memories. I hope to be back as soon as I can.

Imagine walking into a warm and cozy suite illuminated by Christmas tree lights and the reflection of Penobscot Narrows Bridge on the bay and freshly fallen snow AFTER a 24-hour flight delay. This was the welcome Lauri created for us when we arrived at midnight. We traveled from Florida to watch our son play basketball at MMA and even though we lost a day, the entire experience we had made up for it. Too many details to list here, but Lauri will ensure that your stay at Bayside Vista exceeds your expectations, as she is a master at providing "unreasonable hospitality".

Lauri is an excellent host. The apartment is perfect with its layout and finishing touches. Everything is well thought out as it has a very welcoming vibe and wonderful views of the Penobscot River, Narrows Bridge, and accros the river to Fort Knox. We were welcomed to the property with a kind letter, wine and saltwater taffy. The only regret is that we only had one night. We hope to return again. Thank you Lauri!

The view is phenomenal. It’s close enough to Acadia for multiple day trips, but don’t skip out on Fort Knox or the Penobscot Narrows Bridge and Observatory. Lauri has created a wonderful setup and thought of everything we could need. I asked one question on the day of arrival and she took care of the request before we arrived. Top notch. I only wish we could have spent more time there. Our kids actually asked to stay even longer. They loved the place! They enjoyed quite a few movies on the tv and apps provided.
