About this property

Oceanfront property with spectacular views of Acadia Park and cruise ships.

Set your kayaks directly into the clear blue waters from this creatively furnished home away from home located on Frenchman's Bay, a short drive from one of the world's most beautiful National Parks. Take walks along the secluded beach, collecting shells and sea glass. Wake up each morning to watch the lobstermen bring in their catch, possibly your lunch, right in front of the property where you can see thousands of colorful lobster buoys floating on the ocean. At the end of a fun and active day, you can relax and enjoy wonderful nights out by the fire pit while creating memories with your friends and family, all while you are surrounded by the beautiful scenic landscape that will help you recognize why Maine's wonderful allure has attracted so many people from around the world. Completely redone in 2016, this house comfortably accommodates 9 people and can sleep 10 with a role away bed and is equipped with three full bathrooms. Here you can enjoy easy mornings and cozy nights while maintaining a comfortable inviting living space for you, your friends and loved ones to share.

The newly added second story master bedroom contains a walk-in closet leading to the private bathroom and has a more spectacular views. There is a lovely dining room attached to the kitchen and living room and the other bedrooms are set just down the hall with the other two restrooms. This property has amenities such as the use of two kayaks, a large gas grill and a wide long deck that lets you relax and enjoy the sunset and sunrise over Cadillac Mountain, or watch the cruise ships as they sail into Bar Harbor for the day. Take a walk down the beach where there is an old boat landing on a public beach, or take a short walk up the road to Lamoine State Park to enjoy the activity there, as boaters and fishermen enter and exit the waters of Frenchman's Bay and children play on the play ground.

The property is also available for those special events in the spring and fall if you are looking for million dollar views on a quite 3-acre lot right on the ocean with a walkable beach.

The house is really wonderful. It's not so far out that it's hard to go pick up groceries, but just far enough to be really quiet. We really appreciated all the room in the house - there was space for everyone and we were never on top of each other. It had everything we needed and more. We picked up driftwood and enjoyed a fire and watched the moon rise every night. Wifi was great - never had an issue. Highly recommend!

Awesome oceanfront property

We had a fantastic stay at Little Edessa. The house was clean and fully stocked. The yard was amazing. The kids loved playing on the play set while looking out over the ocean. The home is right next to Lamoine beach, so we felt like we had our own private park. You can drive into Acadia or park in Trenton and catch the Island Explorer bus. We had a great time and would definitely stay here again.

This was a lovely eclectic property with very peaceful views. Reasonable distance from Acadia so that we still could get up early to beat the crowds. The kitchen was fully stocked with all of the things that we needed to prepare our own meals, and the place was clean and beds were comfortable. Our only hiccup was in the form of some incredibly hot days that made some evenings rather warm inside the unit that the cooling systems took a bit of time to overcome as we could not adjust. The hosts remedied once we reached out! Would stay here again!

Beautiful, tranquil home away from home in Maine

We visited this unique and wonderful home and property with our three college age kids. It was perfect for relaxation, playing games, cooking dinner and taking a break from busy days exploring.The hosts are genuinely interesting and caring people. The house is decorated beautifully with obvious love and talent. We received lots of great advice on things to do and places to eat as well.We stay in VRBO’s at least once a month and this is definitely top of our list! Highly recommend and hope that we can come back someday.

What a beautiful hidden gem tucked away on Frenchman’s Bay in Lamoine close to Bar Harbor. Our family of 8, 6 adults and 2 children had plenty of space to relax and enjoy the home and the beautiful view of the bay. This house by far was stacked with all your staple items that you would need. Eric our host was on point with accessing the house and any questions that we had, which we really did need anything, everything was just perfect! If you are thinking of visiting this area you will not be disappointed in this VRBO home ! I hope to return here again someday ! Thanks to our Eric on this beautiful home away from home!

Fun Family Vacation

Our family had a great week in the Acadia area. We chose this property for many reasons: it's listed as ocean front, there's a sizable yard area with a playset for the children and a fire pit, and the house had enough bedrooms and bathrooms for our family. We were not disappointed! Our granddaughters enjoyed the playset, the yard games, roasting marshmallows in the fire pit, and swimming and playing in the sand at Lamoine Beach, a 10 minute walk from the house. The adults enjoyed kayaking in the bay as well as the various wildlife seen in the bay, entertaining friends for dinner, sitting around the fire pit catching up, the quiet neighborhood, and sleeping well after a full day of activity. This property is a short drive to Ellsworth for shopping and eating out; slightly longer but manageable to Acadia National Park as well as Schoodic Peninsula. This was our first time staying here, and we will definitely check to see if it's available the next time we come to the area.

About the host

Hosted by Eric Davidson

Host profile image
We have made the property our home for the last five years. We completely updated the home in early 2015 when we purchased with the plans to stay here for ever. We enjoy sharing our home with visitors to this beautiful area.

Why they chose this property

Everyone that has been here say we have the best views of anywhere they have ever been. From the living room you can see Mt Desert Island, Cadillac Mt, Frenchmen's Bay and you have one of the few walkable beaches at the back yard. The home is warm and inviting and as comfortable for two as it is for nine. We hope you love the house as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

Million Dollar view
Fantastic house layout
walkable beach
two kayaks you can take down to the beach in front of the house where you can paddle out into French's Bay
Short drive to Bar Harbor, and Acadia National Forest
NO TRAFFIC !!!!
Fire Pit in back yard with ocean view, sit and watch the lights of cars coming down Cadillac Mt and more stars than you have ever been able to see before
