Our host and the house were absolutely wonderful! The home was beautiful, very roomy and fully equipped and we were able to have a terrific lobster and clam dinner on our last night. Having a private beach was fabulous for our two toddlers as were the toys Cynthia left after asking us the kids ages. She had great suggestions on where to go for sites and food. It was an amazing, relaxing week and we hope to come back again! Thank you, Cynthia! 3

Wonderful home in a serene setting!

Eleven family members of three generations and three states gathered for a week in this spacious home amidst the wildflowers, immersed in fragrant forest, and steps away from the oceanfront and trails. The house is crammed with interesting books, memorabilia, history--and every utensil one would ever need to cook anything! We began and ended every day on the large veranda overlooking the ocean, utilized the grill and outdoor eating areas, viewed seals in the waters, kayaked, hiked in beautiful Acadia National Park--as well as many other trails amid gorgeous views. Our hostess gave us good info on best places to shop, dine, and rent equipment...and was easy to contact. All of us were sorry to bade this house--which so quickly had bcome "home" goodbye!

Lovely place for a family vacation

Great place for family time. Nice beach to explore, plenty of toys for the children, puzzles to complete during rainy days, house with cozy areas for conversation and alone time, full kitchen to cook anything you can think of especially lobster, reasonable drive to Bar Harbor, and your own place to spend quality time with your family.

Pictures don’t do it justice

We had a fantastic stay. We were a family of 11, from a newborn to my 77 year old father and everyone was comfortable. We loved exploring the property and beach. We collected mussels for dinner at low tide. Cyndy provided us so many great local recommendations and we really appreciated her hospitality. Hope to return one day!

Perfect family hide-away vacation spot

This is a beautiful property hidden in the woods, with interesting waterfront combining both beach and bedrock outcrops (including glacier scour tracks), plus a fire pit and a separate BBQ area. The house is exceptionally well-furnished, especially the kitchen, and had lots of toys for the 3 young kids (ages 2-4) such as the toy kitchen, toddler size slide, stuffed lobsters, etc. The hostess was amazing and super helpful and addressed all of our desires promptly and with a big smile. Literally, it could not have been better.

Attentive home owner was very accommodating

We had an amazing time at the property. The backyard and Beach area is gorgeous in the fall when we went. The owner was very quick to answer any questions I had and was very good about preparing the home for my 1.5 year old son. My family group of 8 had a fantastic time and I would highly recommend this to a family looking for a quiet New England retreat!

For the second year in a row we stayed a week at Cyndy's wonderful home on the Lamoine Narrows. Just as a lookahead, I can tell you that our grandkids are already asking if we can go back again next year. That's how enjoyable the experience was/is.There were eight of us, and the house easily accommodates our crew.Because Cyndy and her husband created this for her family, it's very family-friendly. You can relax and feel at home.The kids spent many hours, walking the beach, fishing, watching the wildlife, and picking up pretty rocks, sea glass, and sea shells. Cyndy was kind enough to loan rubber boots in lots of sizes.Each time the girls would come back in from a beach excursion, they were giddy from all the sea glass they had found.We got to see a bald eagle eating his dinner on the beach. A big porcupine visited us twice, and the kids were able to observe him from maybe ten feet away (he was up in a small tree, dining). Turkeys were common on our drives to town.The home is located within 25 minutes of Ellsworth, about the same to Hancock, 15-20 to MDI, 30 to Acadia National Park, and maybe 35 minutes to Bar Harbor. So there are many great places to explore, shop, and dine close by. There is a small grocery store within 15 min.Cyndy is the best host we've ever had with VRBO (and we've had a LOT). You cannot go wrong with this rental for your family, your vacation. I'm sure we'll be back.Note: the entrance road has been greatly improved.

Awesome property for family vacation

Home was perfect for a 4 generation vacation. Cynthia was such a great host making sure we had everything we needed for our stay. If we had questions about anything she was quick to respond. We loved all the family space and toys to entertain the little one. The firepit near the water was wonderful, beach views to wake up to... can't say enough about this home and Cynthia. Thank you and can't wait until next visit.

Acadia Gem

This property is in a beautiful setting on the water. The house was equipped with everything we needed. Well stocked kitchen, bathrooms, toys for the kids and relaxing chairs on the porch. We loved being a little bit "out of town" and having our own beach and water view. The owner goes above and beyond to share favorite places to eat at, to see and to explore. Communication was top notch and very easy. She responded almost immediately every time I reached out to her. We would highly recommend this house and will visit again if we return to the Acadia area.

Perfect Maine Getaway

This welcoming home was private, spacious and impeccably clean. Our family of 10 enjoyed the private beach in front of the home, the beautiful views, beach combing , kayaking and much more. The immediate area offered plenty to do and supermarkets and restaurants were nearby. Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor were awesome and they were about a half hour away. The kids loved all the toys and the piano in the house. Our hostess was extremely helpful and well informed about the area. Highly recommended.

Not only was the rental amazing (spacious, right on the water, authentic) but Cyndy went over and beyond what we could have expected. Let us check in two hours early and brought us pizza! We've never experienced service like that in these type of rentals. We definitely will be back as soon as we are able! Thank you!

The home was beautiful and well maintained. Anything to help your stay be comfortable was available for your use. Our host was available for anything that we needed. She gave us information on where to go and what to see. The setting, secluded on a beautiful cove, was so serene and beautiful. Every morning and evening we go down to the beach watch the seals and wildlife and found starfish, shells, clams, etc. So many memories we made.

Family Vacation

Really enjoyed Cyndy's place! It worked very well for 10 of us - 6 adults and 4 kids (ages 6-11). The private beach was lovely and despite the cold ocean water our kids played, hunted for creatures and even went for (quick) dips. Great proximity to Bar Harbor and Acadia and it took us about 20-30 min to reach those areas. Bar Harbor was BUSY (we were there in August) and after navigating the crowds and congestion it was so refreshing to return to this tranquil setting. The house is comfortable and family friendly (lots of kids toys and games). Cyndy is so helpful, communicative and always available to answer questions and provide suggestions for those not completely familiar with the area. Would definitely like to stay here again if we return to the Bar Harbor area.

About the host

Hosted by Cynthia Poray

Host profile image
I purchased the land in 1982 and just finally built a house in 2015! am a school teacher who loves the ocean, traveling and spending time with my children and grandchildren.

Why they chose this property

I purchased this property over 40 years ago and imagined spending time with my children and grandchildren looking for sand dollars, sea glass and playing in the sand. My dream has come true!

What makes this property unique

The gradual sandy beach is the perfect place for a beach getaway. Close enough to some incredible attractions (Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor) but far enough away to enjoy a quiet vacation.
