About this property

Amazing Ocean View!

Perfect privacy and a beautiful, panoramic view on the Coast of Winter Harbor, Maine.

Architecturally unique three-bedroom home with landscaped surroundings, extensive oceanfront, and an elegant garden room. Great views of Mount Desert Island and the Gulf of Maine. This home is close to everything yet off the beaten track, affording both privacy and convenience. View Cadillac Mountain and several coastal islands from your bedroom window. Sleep to the soothing harmonies of the tides and breathe in the cleansing ocean air. You will leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. The building is located at the end of a private drive and elevated to allow enhanced perspectives and sweeping views. Living room, kitchen, modern, elegant spa-bathroom with glassed-in shower, and three bedrooms that comfortably sleep up to four await you. The open concept living area is enhanced by natural light from a multitude of windows. The home is 100% solar powered. The separate garden house is an ideal setting for entertainment, cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, or morning coffee and croissants.

This home accommodates 4 adults or 2 adults and 2 children. In some cases, an extra person can be accommodated for a fee. Please inquire.

Our rental is located in Winter Harbor. We are a 10 minute drive to the entrance of the 6 mile Schoodic Loop Road. This is the Schoodic Peninsula section of Acadia. Along the scenic drive is Frazer Point Park and picnic area. As you travel to the end of the loop you will find Schoodic Institute and Schoodic Point. You can also hike or bike Schoodic Head.

Please note:
* To reach the primary bedroom one ascends a spiral staircase.
* We are a one hour drive to Bar Harbor.
* Like many areas around remote and rural national parks, Internet service and cell phone reception at this location is unpredictable. If it is imperative that you have 24/7 internet and cell phone usage, we suggest you rent elsewhere.
* If you think you may need to cancel, we recommend you look into Vrbo travel insurance: https://www.vrbo.com/l/travel-with-confidence

Nature's perfect getaway

The property is beautiful and the scenery is breathtaking. We saw so much wildlife like otters, seals, porpoises. It's a secluded spot but easy travel to things to do.

We loved the house, very comfortable, nicely decorated & unusual architecture. The location is spectacular! Right on the rocky shore of Frenchman Bay, 5 minutes out of the village of Winter Harbor (we highly recommend the Treehouse restaurant in WH), 10 minutes from Schoodic Point. Bar Harbor is a 45 minute ferry ride away across the bay.

Amazing

We had a wonderful stay at this property in Maine! The location was absolutely gorgeous—peaceful, scenic, and just what we were hoping for. The house itself was exactly as described: clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, with an amazing view that we never got tired of. We truly enjoyed our time here and would happily recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in a beautiful setting.

Amazing Family Vacation

We like to VRBO a couple of times a year, and rarely is a home more splendid than we hoped. We loved everything about this location and our vacation. Our girls loved playing on the rocks and my husband and I enjoyed the peace and tranquility. We had a wonderful family vacation and hope to return one day!!

Perfect oceanfront rental!

Of all the vacation rentals I’ve stayed in, this is by far my favorite. We spent a lot of time exploring tide pools and sitting on the rocks enjoying the spectacular ocean views. We traveled with my mother (72) and our children (7 and 9), and we all had a blast. The house is very clean and comfortable! We hope to return some day!

On the Rocks

Great place to stay. Really nice house in a location that can’t be beat. First time in Maine and I’m glad we picked this place. Very quiet and secluded. The house had great views and my kids loved just playing on the rocks. Schoodic peninsula is also fantastic. We drove it, biked it and hiked the trails. Great section of Acadia thats not super busy.

Upon arrival of the property we noticed how secluded and personal it felt. The property is located on a magnificent spot with great views of the ocean and landscape. The house was clean and well maintained. The property manager kept very good communication and was very helpful with everything. Overall stay was very enjoyable and would recommend to anyone.

This was our second time at Christine's house and I can't say enough good things about it. Beautiful house in a stunning location. Granite ledges and tide pools out front, all levels of hiking nearby, and sunsets and stars at night make for our family's perfect vacation. We can't wait to come back!

Amazing location and views

We loved our time in Maine. This was our third visit to the Acadia National Park in a VRBO. For the nightly price, we expected a higher end experience, especially compared with other locations in the area. Pros: Privacy, amazing waterfront location, peace and quiet, beautiful sunsets Cons: small issues like the floors are old and damaged in some places, the fridge is old and has rust spots. The couches are old. The kitchen is probably better suited to 2 people, not 4, a little tough to use - no dishwasher. Bathroom best suited to 2 people, not 4. Not room to hang 4 towels to dry in the bathroom. The management was phenomenal. When we arrived, one of the beds was not usable due to a bad smell. Within a day, we had a new mattress and new linens.

Spectacular coastal views in a peaceful setting

My family and I can not say enough wonderful things about our week long stay at this beautiful Winter Harbor home. The property is secluded and peaceful - nestled within the luscious pines with spectacular coastal views and private, easy access to the rocky coastline. The house was comfortable, clean and well accommodated with lots of natural light and beautiful views from just about every room in the home - our expectations were exceeded. My family enjoyed spending time on the rocks - a front row seat to wildlife viewing, beautiful sunsets and magnificent star gazing. And the sound of the crashing waves at night while sleeping can not be beat. We highly recommend this property to anyone wishing to stay in the Winter Harbor area and can not wait to return ourselves,

The perfect retreat!

Couldn’t of asked for a better location. Winter Harbor is a nice little community, and this property was ideal. Close to great hiking trails, amazing scenery, yet is isolated enough to make you feel like you are part of the coast. Excellent management .. highly recommend!
