This is an incredibly beautiful location and the house is also beautiful. It's well laid out and superbly equipped. We had a wonderful stay with our children and grandchildren. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

Thank you for your kind review. We hope you can come back soon. Sara
The house was great! The property is fairly secluded. There is a house on each side of the property, but you are hidden from them and have the beach to yourself. The owners had so many amenities there. There was such attention to detail and anticipation of what a group might want/need. A well furnaces kitchen, plenty of supplies for activities, binoculars, a noise machine for the bedrooms, etc ... The house is perfect for a quiet get away.But, if you are looking for more, while there, it's only an hour from Bar Harbor and 45 minutes from Ellsworth, if you are looking for restaurants and shops.

Thank you for your kind review. We hope you can come back soon! Sara
Amazing. Fully equipped with everything you need. Lovely small town. Just need to be aware that online may say open for certain places that are closed and vice versa. The house was the absolute best. View was phenomenal. Set up was great for families. Upstairs bunk room was perfect.
We had a very pleasant stay. The view from patio is amazing. There was plenty of room and everything we needed for food preparation. Spent most days in Acadia and whale watching. Very good rental.
Outstanding property and location
Pictures don’t do this property the justice it deserves.
Location was excellent near many activities for the whole family
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.
Panoramic views of the ocean and appointments within the house made this a wonderful vacation home. Perfect place if traveling with individuals with limited mobility because the ocean and surroundings can be seen from within the house.
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.
This was exactly as pictured on VRBO site! Beautiful secluded space where you can even watch lobster boats from the back deck. Little town of Corea is cute. Loved the Pickled Wrinkle & Ruth & Wimpys restaurant.
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!

Everything we expected and more
This fantastic home and the view were both better than we expected. The home and deck were clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated. We actually stayed at the home more than we had planned because it was all so relaxing.
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!
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! We definitely want to come back!

The house is beautifully designed & furnished. Extremely clean & well-appointed - has absolutely everything. The owner is easy to communicate with. The views from the house & patio/deck are absolutely stunning - a million dollar view for sure! We had such a good time & hope to return sometime soon.

Thank you for your review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for booking with us again in 2024. Sara
This was the perfect house for our getaway over the holidays!
As soon as you arrive, you are struck by the gorgeous ocean and mountain views.
The house is in a private setting and has all the amenities you could ever need:
Comfortable seating, ample space for our group
Large bedrooms, multiple baths, and a fully stocked kitchen.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to coming back in 2024

Come back soon.
Could not have ask for a more lovely place to stay in ME. There was plenty of room for all - extremely comfortable and all the amenities you need. The back deck provides a stunning view of the cove and Cadillac Mtn in the distance.
It gave us the seclusion we wanted; yet, it was an easy drive to any number of tourist sites and attractions. Close to the Schoodic peninsula and within a 45 minutes to Bar Harbor and ANP. Highly recommend a stay here anytime of year.

We loved the home and property. It is a bit remote, perfect for me and my husband, but a little secluded for our young adult children. The house is fully stocked with anything you might need and very comfortable. The view off the back patio was serene and we enjoyed our mornings and evenings outside, despite the weather only offering is one sunset. We would definitely stay again.

Thank you for staying with us. If your children need water slides, go carts, etc. we are at least an hour to those types of things over in Bar Harbor area. If your kids like hiking, exploring the shore line, beaches, camp fires, etc then our home is for your family. Thank you for staying with us and come back soon.
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. We had a small hiccup which was out of anyones control and Sara was on it quick! We would definitely stay here again!! Thank you for such a wonderful stay!

About the host
Hosted by Sara Buchen-Ray
We currently live in Chicago, IL but we purchased this property in Maine in 2010. My husband was born and raised in Maine. We decided to buy this property so we could get back to Maine. This is our family home that gets used a lot from family and friends who live on the east coast.
Why they chose this property
We chose our property on Shark Cove Road because of the tranquility of the area. We love having a private road with very few neighbors.
What makes this property unique
Our property is unique due to the views of the wide open Atlantic Ocean and the rugged coastline.
