Outstanding vacation home!

Our family of five stayed for a week at this breathtaking house. Great property, beautiful location with amazing views. Located about an hour outside of Bar Harbor/ Acadia we were able to spend time in the park and shopping in downtown Bar Harbor and then go back home to absolute quiet. It was exactly what we were looking for to unwind.

Amazing Property with Great Views

The house was amazing! Very clean inside and outside and plenty of room for us. The sights and sounds of the ocean made for relaxing evenings after hiking in Acadia, and the large back porch area allowed us to spend plenty of time outside. Corea was a nice little town with necessities relatively accessible. Pictures definitely do not do the property justice. I would stay here again!

One of a kind gem

Brought the family to Maine for a short weekend of leaves, lobster, and relaxation. Have stayed in southern Maine before but wanted to do some things in Bangor and spend time in Acadia and this location and house did not disappoint. The isolated location is phenomenal. 100% ocean views that did not disappoint and the night time star watching was awesome. The pictures of this house and location do not do it justice, just take our word for it and book this trip. Sara is a great host with an amazing property and we hope we can get back soon.

Maine was fabulous and this property was equally amazing!

This property was as presented in the photos! The location is amazing! The view from the kitchen and other locations in the home is breathtaking! Corea is such a small, quiet town but you are close enough to other harbors if you want more. Would highly recommend this property! The home owner was so kind, flexible, and responsive!

Nothing short of AMAZING!

This was our first full family vacation in 6 years. We were hesitant about the property until we got there because of our last experience in Maine but this place was FANTASTIC! We had 10 of us that stayed; all 16 and over. The outside patio area was our favorite area to be together. The views were spectacular and the patio was a great place just to enjoy each other's company. We took our corn hole boards and enjoyed competitive tournaments as well as eating out there, sitting at the fire pit in the evening; climbing on the rocks down near the water and looking for shells and sea glass. We got lobster from the local town co op and followed the directions provided by the owner for the best lobster and a WAY cheaper price than the restaurants offered. The house is quite a drive from the Acadia/Bar Harbor area but we did not mind. We went and hiked, kayaked, fished, shopped and we were more than comfortable at the house to rest and visit. It had an inviting and welcoming atmosphere. The owner checked in with us a few times during our stay just to make sure we had everything we needed. We can't wait to come back again!

Amazing View, Perfect Retreat

This lovely property made a gracious host to my family group of eight; every room and all furniture was comfortable and the amenities comprehensive. The huge patio with its inviting Adirondack chairs is what drew us to the listing, and it was amazing! But everything else was wonderful too; as soon as we walked into the house we felt right at home. Plenty of linens, plenty of space and seating options for all, the kitchen well-equipped, the GPS found the house without issue, the road in not difficult to traverse, and entry instructions and stay requirements / requests quite reasonable. The upstairs is a pleasant space all its own, with full bath and a walkout over the patio for its own view; perfect for say, a whole bunch of kids or teens in a blended group. We had two up there who enjoyed it immensely. The downstairs bedrooms and side ramp into the house makes it largely "accessible" for most would-be guests. We started and ended our days taking the access trail cut down the slope to the water to watch the sunrise or sunset and waves break over the rocky shore, enjoyed cozy evenings in the living room, breakfast and dinners eaten in, and everyone made friendly arguments that no, their bedroom was the best. The house is well-situated to take day excursions in every direction--not too far at all to get to Acadia or West Quoddy Head (for example, and what we did!). It's also definitely a destination in itself if anyone is wanting a "lazy day" in. Do: read the guest book and the host's ongoing updates between guest entries, take your morning tea on the patio, scramble on the beach rocks, see the charming village of Corea, and get to Corea Heath bog just down the road. Recommended!

Pictures don’t even do this home justice. It was beyond what we expected. The house was impeccably clean and they offered everything you could imagine. Washer and dryer on first and second floor. Sound machines in the rooms which helped with our little ones. Little touches with the stuffed animals on the beds upstairs and the Maine-inspired books made for very happy kiddos. The view of the coastline was gorgeous. I could have sat and looked at it all day. Access to the private water front was also a highlight. We couldn’t love this house more and hope to return again soon.

Incredible!

I took my 97 year old grandpa to Maine for a bucket list trip. Sara was very quick to respond to all my questions prior to arrival and made the process of getting there so simple. The home itself is beautiful! Far beyond what any picture could capture. Even with a somewhat rainy week we enjoyed every moment we were there. The room situation was perfect for our group of 7. If you are looking for a relaxing week in an absolutely gorgeous setting I would 100% recommend this property. Thank you Sara! We hope to be back!

Amazing Stay

When we booked this house over a year ago, my excitement was high and increased as each day passed. When we finally arrived, all my expectations were met plus some! We had a group of 9 with ages ranging from 5-69. Our stay was so peaceful and enjoyable! It was our two youngest first trip to Maine and their standard of vacationing in Maine was set VERY HIGH!

Paradise by the Atlantic Ocean!

We were thrilled to stay at this property on our family trip to Maine! The view was fabulous, and the home was wonderful for the 10 of us! Each of the three adult couples had private bedrooms. The master bedroom had a bathroom connected to it. The 4 children were ecstatic about their upstairs bedroom with 6 queen-sized beds decorated with a nautical theme complete with a different native stuffed animal of Maine on each bed! The property was secluded from all other homes and we had a private path directly down to the rocky coastline! We often saw lobster boats checking their traps. When I talked to Sara on the phone with a question she was very pleasant and accommodating! Besides all of that the property is quite near to the Schoodic section of Acadia National Park! You could not go wrong renting this VRBO as we did for a six night stay!!

We had an amazing time in Maine! The house is fantastic, and you can’t beat the view and privacy. We had everything we needed, and Sara was very responsive and helpful with any questions we had. We would go down to the water each morning and evening and just listen to the waves, so relaxing! This is the first time our group of friends and family have talked about going back to the same home 2 years in a row, it wouldn’t surprise me if we do.

Fantastic property on the Ocean

Had a wonderful time at the property. The house is one hour away from Acadia and 1:20 from the Bangor airport. It served as a great secluded location to enjoy the scenery while still being only an hour away from Acadia. The house was beautiful, very clean and very comfortable. The back patio is truly the highlight of the property with plenty of Adirondack chairs facing the ocean and a fantastic fire pit which we enjoyed nightly. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking to get away or use as a home base to explore the beautiful Maine coast.

We loved this beach house! It was secluded and so quiet! We loved checking out the small fishing towns and eating the delicious food not far from the house! Every afternoon we would sit around the fire pit and listen to the waves. We had 5 kids and 5 adults and we were all comfortable and had plenty of space.
