Lovely Stay

House is just as described. Very well stocked kitchen including trash bags, foils, wraps, sharp knives etc. Comfy beds, fantastic views, enjoyed the deck and fire pit. We rented kayaks and traveled around the island. Not too far from Acadia and Bar Harbor. Overall excellent

Beautiful coastal house

We enjoyed our stay very much. Loved the waterfront access. The house was plenty large enough for my family of six adults and one infant. It was also close to Acadia and Bar Harbor. We only had two downsides:the air conditioning in Maine is not what we are used to (it failed to really cool the house) and it would be great to have room darkening shades in all the bedrooms. When traveling with littles, it was difficult when she was awakened so early by the bright sunrise between 4 & 5am.

Much Needed Family Vacation

We have been waiting for some time to get our family back to Maine for a much needed family vacation. This property had everything we needed for a relaxing and comfortable stay. The property was spacious with amazing views of MDI. We brought our kayaks and we could have stayed out there on the water the entire trip. We saw seals and a few porpoises too! We enjoyed cooking in the well appointed kitchen and eating outside on the deck. Our granddaughter enjoyed collecting shells on the beach and playing freely in the large fenced yard. If you want to bring a group of people together but still desire some space, this is the house for you.

Wonderful stay!

The property was better than we expected! We enjoyed the beautiful morning sunrise each day and relaxing on the private beach. Close enough to explore local areas but secluded enough for a peaceful retreat. Home was fully stocked with tons of room for everyone. Would love to stay here again.

Great family vacation!

Beautiful views and access to the water. Water shoes required due to rocks and some glass though! Yard was fenced in for the pup and the house was perfectly set up for our family - we rented a kayak which we all used and the drive to Acadia was a short 15 minutes - we loved it!

This is a beautiful, very clean, private house. It has everything you’d ever need for your stay. The fenced in yard was perfect, the beds were comfy, powerful showers, and sooo much space!

About the host

Hosted by Daria Duda

Host profile image
Scott & Daria have been visiting the Bar Harbor area for many years and fell in the love with the area. They purchased Western Bay Shores in 2012, and another property a few miles away in 2014 and manage a 3rd property close by. They enjoy time here in the off-seasons as well. Back in Philadelphia, Scott is known for his award-winning beer, and helping new start-up breweries, while Daria works in marketing at a technology company.

Why they chose this property

When Scott & Daria bought Western Bay Shores, the former owners provided a comprehensive 'book' of everything about the house - ending their description with 'It's a special place.' This statement couldn't be more true … you'll find relaxation and enjoyment here at this home - it truly is a special place and we are happy that we can have our guests enjoy this slice of Maine as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

Moon rise over the water - truly awesome, especially during a full moon. And the sunrises can be spectacular.
