A Quick Note on Booking
VRBO will show your full price (including their fees and agency fees) when you enter your dates—what you see there is accurate. After booking, we’ll send over a lease packet reflecting base rent amounts (without added VRBO or agency platform fees) to complete your reservation.
Please note: VRBO will generate the cost of your stay when you enter dates and number of occupants, this quote is accurate and has already been adjusted to add taxable administrative fees above the owner's rental rate. The amount you pay to VRBO includes added VRBO and agency administrative fees (the added amount the Agency charges to book this property through VRBO). These added charges will not be reflected on your lease papers, as they are not part of the Lease Agreement between you and the homeowner, and so rates quoted here will reflect a rate higher than listed elsewhere. The rental rate that is noted in the body of the property description is the actual amount that will be reflected in the lease agreement; this amount is without added fees. Please let us know if you need further clarification
A $1,000 security hold is placed by VRBO (not charged), and released after your stay if everything is in order.

We truly hope this home becomes part of a memorable trip for you—whether that means quiet mornings with coffee and ocean views, or days full of adventure in Acadia.
If there’s anything at all you’d like to know, just reach out—we’d love to host you!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ocean View. The property was lovely with daily visits from the deer and stunning sunrises over the harbor every morning. The house is modern and spacious and beautifully equipped for every need and comfort. It worked well for our family of six and our 2 year old grandchild. This was one of the nicest VRBO experiences we have had and can't say enough positive things. Hope to plan a return visit!

We're delighted you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for being such wonderful guests and we welcome your return anytime!
We really enjoyed the house. It was very clean and modern, with all amenities you would find expect in the kitchen and bathroom. The area itself was also very convenient to Acadia and Bar Harbor, and we enjoyed being a bit outside the crowded downtown of Bar Harbor, yet being close enough to visit when we wanted. I would highly recommend this property.

Thank you for being wonderful guests, we welcome your return anytime!
My Family and I had a GREAT time at this location in Southwest Harbor! Very quiet, plenty of room for our young boys to play, and conveniently located. The MDI team did a terrific job in communicating with us and ensuring we had everything we needed to ensure our time on property was a blast. Would definitely recommend this to anyone and if we travel back to this area I will be seeing if this property is available or at least another MDI Vacation Rentals operated property.
