About this property

Oceanfront Retreat on a Bay With Amazing Sunsets! Fishing off dock, sm dog fee

  • If booking more than 10 nights please inquire first for an adjusted cleaning fee.

    ***IF BRINGING A SM DOG, INQUIRE BEFORE BOOKING $100 FEE.
    * We recommend purchasing VRBO cancellation insurance upon booking.

    Sunsets are amazing!
    FYI, BAR HARBOR IS APPROXIMATELY AN HOUR DRIVE FROM THE COTTAGE. It is a great day trip and we suggest you drive to Winter Harbor (30 minutes away) and take the Ferry to Bar Harbor and avoid the parking dilemma (downeastwindjammer.com). Awesome 45 minute boat road and bikes are welcome.

    We provide dish liquid/dishwasher pods, trash bags, liquid hand soap at sinks, coffee filters and all linens.
    Coffee maker is a Keurig combo ( 12 c. drip or k-cups, not provided).

    ~~~Please add toilet tissue and paper towels to your shopping list as they are not provided.

    A Quiet shoreside cottage nestled amongst the trees on the shore of Dyers Bay. The only traffic you will see is an occasional lobster boat passing by to haul their traps.
    The deck is the perfect place to watch our beautiful Downest sunsets as well!
    Also a great spot to eat a fresh Maine Lobster on the picnic table!

    The cottage is quaint yet newly updated to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Our two bedroom cottage has a queen bed, two twin beds (king upon request prior to arrival) and the living room has a double size pullout couch (couch is best for children). Please advise us in advance if you require bedding for the couch and or would like the king bed vs the twins.

    Located just a few miles from hiking trails on Pigeon Hill and Petit Manan Point. You won't be disappointed. Please see our reviews for messages from our previous guests.
    We strive to provide a comfortable and spotlessly clean "cottage" for your visit to Maine and the most beautiful sunsets over the bay.

    The cottage is most comfortable with 4 guests(quote listed) but can accommodate up to 5 if double couch is used (extra person fee $25)....couch is best fit for children.

Off the Beaten Path

We stayed here for our family vacation and it was perfect for us to lay our heads after a long day of hiking. We loved the seclusion of it and we even got surprised by seeing some pilot whales while hanging on the deck. The stars were absolutely amazing!

Best place to watch the sunset

Our family was visiting the area for a few days and were so pleased with our pick. It is the cleanest property we have ever stayed at. Not a speck of dirt or dust anywhere. Communication was great but the best is the deck overlooking the water and the amazing sunsets. Thank you!

Coastal Maine Dream

The trip was booked for the view and it did not disappoint. The ability to watch lobster fishing from the deck is worth the stay. The property is exactly what we read about and what we enjoyed during our stay. Arnold delivered as a host and we would choose him again.

Quiet. Seems like you’re all alone.

There are neighbors but you can’t see them and it feels remote. Listened to the seals and eagles fishing at sunset. Truly lovely.

Excellent Stay

We had an excellent stay for our family vacation to Maine and the Bar Harbor/Acadia area. The house was exactly what we needed to put that little exclamation point on our great week. The views are amazing from sun up to sun down! Comfortable house from every aspect. Cleanliness was spot on as well. Wanda , the property manager/house keeper checked in a couple times to make sure everything was good and was very responsive when we had questions. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again if/when we return!

First Trip to Maine

This was our first time actually renting a property. Normally we stay in hotels. This property was exactly like it was described and the photos truly showed the property. The host was very responsive to all of our questions and even checked in on us to ensure we were enjoying our stay. They also provided excellent selections for excursions and restaurants. I would highly recommend this property if you are looking for peace and tranquility.

This place is beautiful! All I wanted to do was sit on the deck and look out over the ocean. We got to see an eagle several times, and a seal! The cottage was well stocked and very clean.

Cozy Secluded Cabin On the Water

Quiet location North of the Hussle and bussle of the touristy Bar Harbor and Acadia. However a short drive to Acadia's Schoodic location. We drove through on our last night, but wish we had spent more time. Several charming small places to eat including roadside food trucks with affordable local fare options. Our view off the back porch was ours and ours alone. Super quiet and peaceful. Great sunsets as well. This was a memorable stay for our family.
