About this property

The Lookout in Bar Harbor

The Retreat at Lookout Point – the ideal Down East Maine vacation retreat!

Nestled on five acres among old-growth shade trees on an elevated oceanfront site, in a quiet and private community, you’ll find The Retreat at Lookout Point - an authentic mid-century, one-floor living coastal Maine home.

Here is where you’ll unwind, renew and refresh

Whether enjoying morning coffee, while collecting sea glass on the private beach, watching the bald eagles soar overhead and hummingbirds dart among the flowers - or an evening glass of wine, while the sunset casts its golden hue over Frenchman’s Bay and the familiar red sails of the schooner Margaret Todd appear, you’ll realize – you’re relaxed and in the moment.

Very nice house but finicky owners
The house is nice and spacious with beautiful views. It's an old house and the bathrooms could use a renovation. Extra sheets and towels would also be nice but the kitchen is well-stocked. My frustration with the stay is that, despite our best efforts to take good care of the property, the owners claimed there was water damage on one of the window sills from us. There was a lot of rain during our stay and it's an old house so water could have leaked in, but we were careful to close the windows when it rained. I would hesitate to rent a house like this when normal wear and tear or the prior condition of the house could be blamed on the renter.

Beautiful
The house is beautiful, spacious, well supplied, clean, and comfortable. The property is completely private with breathtaking views. We had a terrific week and would definitely return.

Good location- close to Acadia, beautiful ocean view
The location was great- short drive to bar harbor, Acadia, and lovely sunrise right from the house. Home had beautiful glass windows from the living room and dining room where we could sit and enjoy the ocean view. For the price point, the property was a little more tired than I expected and you can really only swim from the rocky beach at high tide due to the larger rocks (and seaweed attached). Overall, a nice stay with our family.

Spacious, Beautiful, and Peaceful
Photographs usually don’t do justice. That is certainly the case with this VRBO home. The home itself was a destination all of its own for our trip. My spouse and I met my two sisters and their spouses. We all come from different states (CA, TX, and SC) so spending quality time with each other was of most importance. The home provided several gathering places, with amazing views and amenities and provided lots of space to allow for quiet alone time with our spouses. Such a peaceful and beautiful environment.

Perfect "Get-Away"
Extraordinary setting. Gorgeous interior design. Large enough for 2 families. Unusually well equipped kitchen with supplies and essentials. Very close to Arcadia National Park. Private. Immaculate. I rarely provide ratings. This property deserves the highest rating.
