About this property

Oceanfront 1980's Contemporary . Serene. Pet friendly. Private beach. Sleeps 4.

As Sept 23 renter says "Glory Be is glorious indeed. We took full advantage of it. Swimming, kayaking, and hiking every day. Right from the house. " Location is prime. This spot is 8 miles down a 9 mile road, nestled on the bank of Union River Bay which overlooks the mountains of Acadia National Park. Newbury Neck is the primo spot for biking, and serenity. Lots are huge and owned by just a few families. There is little traffic since the peninsula dead ends in 1.25 miles. New beach steps attached to a boardwalk, built spring 2025. Given the deep water frontage you may have your friends visit, anchor in the bay, sail in and sail out. Open ocean is just to the south. "Glory Be" is an authentic contemporary style house built in the 1980's with a 1200 sq ft wrap around deck, a long private drive flanked by blueberry fields and protected by nature conservancy land, with woods to the north and panoramic ocean views to the east. We have high speed WIFI but do not offer TV. We have loads of books. Across Union River Bay are the mountains of Acadia, one of America's most visited US National Parks - an easy 50-60 minute drive to parts of the park and Bar Harbor, and other scenic sites of Mount Desert Island. Also discover the nearby Blue Hill Peninsula, Deer Isle, Stonington. Great restaurants, coffee/wine shops, art galleries, hiking, boutiques, cultural and musical venues abound.
Updates on Property: New beach steps 2025. New mattresses 2023 for both queen beds. Deck repainted May 2023. New water heater and tank 2025.

About the host

Host profile image
This land has been in the family since the 1940s when our grandparents bought the property so the family could gather together and escape the heat of summer. We hope you enjoy this location as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Privacy. Large acreage. Private beach and boardwalk to shore. The perfect antidote for beating the heat in the summer. Always a cool breeze.

What makes this property unique

Peaceful oceanside setting overlooking the mountains of Acadia National Park. 8 miles down a 9 mile peninsula. Away from it all.... No crowds. Quiet. Pristine.
