Upscale, sparkling Seaside Retreat with Ocean Views near Acadia National Park

Newly renovated, stunning, multi-level seaside home in Prospect Harbor, Maine. Relax and unwind on our spacious waterfront deck, the perfect setting for viewing the pink granite shoreline below.

Nearby Maine experiences include the world-famous Acadia National Park with hiking, biking, bird-watching and kayaking; the timeless lobstering villages of Prospect Harbor, Winter Harbor, and Corea with their blown glass and art galleries, quaint shops, and local seaside eateries; and bustling Ellsworth, where you can tour Maine’s premier historic estate Woodlawn Museum with its 180 exquisite acres and stately home or even try your skill at Candlepin bowling, played primarily in the Canadian Maritime provinces and here in New England!

Catch the ferry from Winter Harbor to Bar Harbor if you long for sightseeing, shopping, dining, and the historical sights of Mount Desert Island. Or… you may just want to sit sipping a morning coffee or twilight cocktail in our Adirondack swing and watch the occasional napping sea lion and ducks swimming to their rock islands in the bay. The home is well equipped with everything you need for memory-making with family and friends, and there is plenty of room to relax or even work remotely against the backdrop of the sound of the sea. Welcome to Ocean View Hideaway!

Fall colors
We had a great time in Maine. This home was absolutely beautiful, wonderfully decorated, the outdoor space was also great. We used the outdoor fire pit and the sky was absolutely stunning with the Milky Way and stars right above. We were greeted with fresh flowers, some amazing breakfast coffee cake, and other amenities to make us feel welcomed. It was a very peaceful and private location!

One cannot adequately describe the joy experienced by us all when we stayed at this oceanfront home. The view, the gentle slope to the rocks, the different levels in the house which give access to various interests, the easy communication with property manager...the list could go on. Thank you for sharing your home.

Week of Wonderful Memories
After a long day of travel, we drove down the driveway and were greeted with a stunning view of the water and the beautiful house we were going to call “home” for the week! The house is just perfect. It is spacious and full of fun - shuffle board and piano, indoor and outdoor games, fire pit, outdoor places to sit and relax. The house was clean and decorated beautifully. The owners had left us coffee cakes, coffee, and fresh flowers- ❤️❤️. The kitchen is well stocked and had extras like dish soap and paper towels which is so nice! The location is phenomenal. You are away from the crowds and traffic of Mt. Desert Island but it is easy to access if you want to do so. We went on the ferry which was very fun. The villages that surround the area are cute and full of places to eat, art galleries, wonderful walks and places to scramble out over rocks. My teens loved the hiking and biking around the Schoodic section of Acadia. When we come to Maine again, and I hope it is soon, our first step will be booking this property again. Thanks Jill and Jeb for an amazing experience!

Everything you could want
Couldn't have asked for a better place for our annual Maine vacation. House was exactly as described -- if not better. Plenty of room (and privacy) for 8 adults. Modern house, extremely well kept and clean. Awesome views, ocean really is steps away and a beach a short walk. Location may seem a bit remote, but the house and privacy are worth a few minutes extra drive. Ferry to Bar Harbor is close and that is a scenic 40 minute ride if you don't want to drive (and park, ughhh). Owners/Manager uber-responsive and respectful when a minor plumbing issue popped up. Welcome gift was the cherry on top. Definitely a house we would rent again.

Welcoming House and Hostess
Jill was fantastic in preparing us for our visit and supporting us as I asked many questions about the property and the area. The home is comfortable and versatile. We cooked, we grilled, we enjoyed time together in and out of the house. A great vacation home.

Wonderful Family Getaway
We had a great stay, lots of space for a large group, two families of five. The teenagers enjoyed the puzzles and many indoor and outdoor games. Impressive library of books too. My daughter loved the piano, filling the air with music. The kitchen was spacious and there was plenty of space for sleeping, we felt at home. We enjoyed hiking the less busy Schoodic part of Acadia nearby, with easy to challenging trails. Views from the deck are breathtaking! An overall great vacation getaway!

Perfect for families
The house was perfect for our family of 9. Lots of space to enjoy. For a family who plays lots of games, the game room was a real hit! Coffee on the rocks at the shoreline in the mornings and drinks on the deck at night were the perfect start and end to the day.

Stunning views!
Everything about this property was on point. Beautiful well kept/clean home in secluded area with stunning views. Loved the fresh flowers in all the rooms and all the little extras did not go unnoticed! We had 2 grandparents, 4 adults and 4 kids with plenty of space to run! Thank you so much for your kindness and peace of mind we were in good hands!
