Description

Built in 2001, the cottage is designed for enjoying time inside and out during our spectacular summers and rests in a quiet location 75 feet from high tide. There are no roads or ledges to traverse when walking down to our private beach. We are 25 minutes from Bar Harbor and 20 from Acadia National Park, and only 7 minutes from Bar harbor Airport and 35 from Bangor International Airport. WE NOW HAVE HIGH SPEED INTERNET FROM TIME WARNER AND CABLE TV WITH A DVR. WE HAVE TWO FLAT SCREEN TVS. ONE IS IN THE LIVING ROOM THE OTHER IS IN THE DEN/BDRM. We now ave a third bathroom.
 
OUTSIDE
The cottage faces the sunset and Blue Hill Mountain across the inter-coastal ocean area of Union River Bay and Blue Hill Bay. A small set of wooden stairs steps down to a typical Maine tidal zone, except for the brook on the south side of the property.
 
At low tide rocks draped in thick tangle of yellow-green and brown-purple seaweeds surround our pebble beach. These are called Rockweed and are an important part of our coastal ecosystem. The shore  provides lots of chances for beach combing and exploring. A year-round brook empties into the Bay on the south side of the property and encourages birds and other wildlife to visit.
 
A large deck and a balcony off the second-story bedroom are great places to picnic or for sitting still and enjoying songbirds, ducks, loons, gulls, eagles, on occasion some wild turkeys, squirrels, even seals, and osprey, depending on the time of year.

Beautiful Getaway, Perfect Location


Had a wonderful 3 week stay in this spacious and comfortable home near Acadia National Park. The location was quiet and secluded - but close to grocery and restaurants in Trenton and Ellsworth. The house has so much room, you can fit 8 people easily without tripping over each other. The kitchen is fully stocked with anything you might need, there\'s a new washer/dryer and excellent wireless internet. Plenty of room in the expansive backyard with a grill for outdoor cooking and an AMAZING view. Reservations were quick, easy and comprehensive, and the owner and caretaker both checked on us throughout our stay. The property is an easy 15-minute drive from Acadia - giving you all of the benefits without any of the crowds. I would definitely return to this rental in the future!

Private, Beautiful View


Comfortably slept 5 adults and 2 children. Had a beautiful view and nice porch for dining. We thought it was close enough but not too close to area attractions. We spent a lot of time in Acadia NP and was only about 20min drive. There was a lot to do in Bar Harbor but it was a very busy little town and I appreciate the privacy this rental had over the rentals we had looked at elsewhere. It was only about 4 miles to nearest grocery store so that was a plus and had everything we needed to cook meals so we weren\'t constantly eating out. The only suggestion I have which doesn\'t pertain to the rental is if you plan to do excursions book them in advance it seemed everything we checked on was sold out or had limited availability. The was a nice fun park close by for the kids to enjoy only about 10 min away.

Wonderful House!


My wife and I spent a week with two other couples. The house is spacious with plenty of privacy, with common areas nice and open. The new bathroom gives everyone access to their own (except for showering.) Plenty of deck space and lawn in the back, and access to the bay is great. We biked, hiked, and kayak during our stay, and the house is close enough to Bar Harbor and NP, but far enough away to be away from the tourist hustle and bustle. While kayaking from the house we saw seals, a heron, an eagle, and an osprey (while catching fish!) The house has a well-stocked kitchen, and is spotless. My only wish is that we could have stayed longer.

This was my family\'s 3rd vacation at Bayside. We love the proximity to Acadia for daily hikes and enjoy the serenity of the water views and private location. If you go make sure to rent kayaks or canoes so you can enjoy the water and all of it\'s wildlife. This year the seals were very active each morning! The home is very clean with lots of sunlight. We particularly enjoy the deck and grill as well as the fully stocked kitchen. The home has plenty of private nooks if you are traveling with extended family or friends. We consider Bayside our home each summer and wish we could stay longer....a very special place!

Beautiful Home, Beautiful Location


Our family could not have been more satisfied with our stay in Jay\'s property in Elsworth. Everything, from the layout of the house, to the waterfront view, made for a picture-perfect stay in Maine. The pictures really don\'t do the place justice. We had so many fun nights watching the sunset over the bay, followed by waking up early to catch low-tide and explore the tide pools. Each member of our family was happy with the experience and we would recommend this house to anyone. Further, we were in a great location for easily accessing and exploring both Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, despite being there at peak season. The lack of AC was the only minor negative, but I suspect that had more to do with the fact that it was unusually warm the week we were there (lower 90s some day) and normally I don\'t believe that area feels so warm.
