Water's Edge is a very special home. The view is spectacular! We saw harbor seals, great blue herons, loons, deer, wild turkeys, a porcupine, kingfisher and many other birds. The house is very comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. Sunrises were magnificent. The night sky and milky way were beautiful. Delicious sea food and hikes through forests to the beach are nearby. We had a wonderful stay and hope to return.
Host was amazing. Property is second to none. What a beautiful stay we had, highly recommend this property. Views are out of this world and the setting is incredible. We will be returning!
Our stay at Waters Edge was awesome! The views are unbeatable and we loved seeing seals, bald eagles, and loons right outside the windows. Our kids loved the loft area and especially loved exploring the shoreline for seashells and sea glass. The house is convenient to Bar Harbor and Acadia. We loved exploring the Schoodic Peninsula portion of the park for the first time. Dean is a great host, even setting up a generator when a storm knocked out power at the house. We would highly recommend and would love to come back.
We’ve been here four years in a row because of this house (and Maine in general). Honestly, you’ll want to just sit and stare at the water. It’s really the perfect getaway to recharge and relax.
Heaven! There aren’t words to fully describe Water’s Edge…..it really feels like heaven. So beautiful, peaceful & relaxing. Home was comfy and had everything you needed. We hated to leave. Dean was a great host! Thank you!
The view was worth a million bucks, the home was very well stocked and clean. Had great communication with our host, Dean and no problems at all on arrival. We saw deer, raccoon, chippy munks, turkey and a bald eagle flying right past the front windows everyday. Great stay!
Spectacular view and great proximity to many areas we wanted to see. We were able to see Seals, Bald Eagle lots of deer a porcupine and a Ruffled Grouse.
We had a great stay! The views here were fantastic and the house was very clean. It was an easy drive into most of Acadia, but we had a hard time wanting to leave the adirondack chairs out back by the water.
The views were amazing, property was clean and well-stocked, and the location was perfect! I wish I was still drinking my coffee from those Adirondack chairs!
Incredible cottage, easily our favorite rental. Gorgeous way to experience Maine; our kids loved playing on the shore, kayaking with seals, and hanging out in the loft. It was a beautiful and restorative week.
We loved our stay at the Water’s Edge! There was plenty of space for us and our baby. It was especially nice to have the washer and dryer. You could comfortable fit 6 in this house! The view was amazing and we enjoyed watching the sunrise each morning. Thanks for a great stay!
The view is fabulous - fog, rain, sunshine - the view is the best part of this house. Dean very responsive and helpful (thanks!) and sent very helpful information on the house and the area. Wonderful way to spend Thanksgiving.
The house is just as described - the location is stunning! Coffee in the morning outside on the deck- so relaxing and peaceful. Easy drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia. Quiet neighborhood. Gorgeous views. Highly recommend
This is our second stay at Water's Edge. We love this house and the owners make sure that the property is well maintained, comfortable and welcoming. Watching the seals play in the bay from the patio was especialy fun. When we go back to Hancock Point, we will be staying here again!
This is an incredibly special place - we love Water’s Edge and Hancock Point! Morning walks on Jellison Cove Road, watching eagles and seals from the amazing decks, and enjoying access to all the wonders of Acadia without the crowds. Just The Best.
Wonderful property with awesome views. Very quiet place to sit back and relax. Owner communications were excellent. Place had everything we needed for our vacation.
