Such a beautiful house and property! I was repeatedly amazed at how quiet it was, especially while kayaking. The only sounds were usually the breeze and birds, and nothing else! Cyndy was a great host with many helpful suggestions. Would definitely recommend for a peaceful family getaway. About 45 minutes to Bar Harbour, 20 minutes to Ellsworth for groceries, restaurants, etc.

Our host and the house were absolutely wonderful! The home was beautiful, very roomy and fully equipped and we were able to have a terrific lobster and clam dinner on our last night. Having a private beach was fabulous for our two toddlers as were the toys Cynthia left after asking us the kids ages. She had great suggestions on where to go for sites and food. It was an amazing, relaxing week and we hope to come back again! Thank you, Cynthia! 3

Check-in wasn't quite ready due to the last guests leaving the house full of sand. However the owner texted and communicated that the clean up was taking longer than normal. House was fully stocked with all the essentials such as kitchen ware, toilet paper, bath towels, sheets, blankets, etc. The beach is a short path from the house. Lots of beach combing to do there! We had a handful of perfect seaglass on every walk.

My family had a very quiet and restful stay at this gorgeous house on the edge of the ocean. Yes, we spent some time in Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, but oh the joy of finding the less crowded spots. Tidal Falls, Schoodic Peninsula, and beautiful little harbor towns. We drove to Caterpillar Hill and Grindstone point as the host advised if the park was closed. Learned some history about the area and very scenic. I very much enjoyed reading books at the house with stories about the area from times in the past. Walking to the beach and porch sitting lovely. We watched a porcupine eating leaves up in a tree two days. A full moon shining over the water. So many seabirds, deer, and turkey. We ate at Ruth and Wimpy's, Lunt's, and Helen's. We grabbed lobster stew or seafood chowder whichever little harbor town we found ourselves in. I would recommend this place for any family wanting to experience beloved Maine. We have been coming 40 plus years. The was the very best! We would welcome the opportunity to stay here again.

Wonderful home in a serene setting!

Eleven family members of three generations and three states gathered for a week in this spacious home amidst the wildflowers, immersed in fragrant forest, and steps away from the oceanfront and trails. The house is crammed with interesting books, memorabilia, history--and every utensil one would ever need to cook anything! We began and ended every day on the large veranda overlooking the ocean, utilized the grill and outdoor eating areas, viewed seals in the waters, kayaked, hiked in beautiful Acadia National Park--as well as many other trails amid gorgeous views. Our hostess gave us good info on best places to shop, dine, and rent equipment...and was easy to contact. All of us were sorry to bade this house--which so quickly had bcome "home" goodbye!

Great place for family time.

Pictures don’t do it justice

We had a fantastic stay. We were a family of 11, from a newborn to my 77 year old father and everyone was comfortable. We loved exploring the property and beach. We collected mussels for dinner at low tide. Cyndy provided us so many great local recommendations and we really appreciated her hospitality. Hope to return one day!

Perfect family hide-away vacation spot

This is a beautiful property hidden in the woods, with interesting waterfront combining both beach and bedrock outcrops (including glacier scour tracks), plus a fire pit and a separate BBQ area. The house is exceptionally well-furnished, especially the kitchen, and had lots of toys for the 3 young kids (ages 2-4) such as the toy kitchen, toddler size slide, stuffed lobsters, etc. The hostess was amazing and super helpful and addressed all of our desires promptly and with a big smile. Literally, it could not have been better.

Attentive home owner was very accommodating

We had an amazing time at the property. The backyard and Beach area is gorgeous in the fall when we went. The owner was very quick to answer any questions I had and was very good about preparing the home for my 1.5 year old son. My family group of 8 had a fantastic time and I would highly recommend this to a family looking for a quiet New England retreat!

Awesome property for family vacation

Home was perfect for a 4 generation vacation. Cynthia was such a great host making sure we had everything we needed for our stay. If we had questions about anything she was quick to respond. We loved all the family space and toys to entertain the little one. The firepit near the water was wonderful, beach views to wake up to... can't say enough about this home and Cynthia. Thank you and can't wait until next visit.

About the host

Hosted by Cynthia Poray

Host profile image
I purchased the land in 1982 and just finally built a house in 2015! am a school teacher who loves the ocean, traveling and spending time with my children and grandchildren.

Why they chose this property

I purchased this property over 40 years ago and imagined spending time with my children and grandchildren looking for sand dollars, sea glass and playing in the sand. My dream has come true!

What makes this property unique

The gradual sandy beach is the perfect place for a beach getaway. Close enough to some incredible attractions (Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor) but far enough away to enjoy a quiet vacation.
