About this property

Welcome to Woodland Pointe; a true taste of the best that coastal Maine has to offer. This 3BR, 2BA home has over 2000 sq ft of open living space. Situated on 20 extremely private acres of woodlands. It overlooks more than 600 feet of panoramic shoreline on Holmes Bay that you’ll have all to yourself. Classic Northeastern Cape architecture meets modern amenities in this comfortable, cozy retreat. Purposefully situated on the banks of Holmes bay, you’ll enjoy watching the daily tidal movement and revel in the evening sunsets. Wildlife abounds both on the land and in the water with plenty of deer, turkeys, waterfowl, crustaceans and even the occasional moose.

This secluded home has a large deck that offers quiet and stunning views of sunsets, migratory birds, and the scenic rocky bay. The home is direct waterfront on the coast, with unending views of the ocean with steps that take you down shore for beach combing. With the natural beauty of the surrounding area, you will be able to stay connected to the rest of the world with cable and TV’s in every bedroom. Mesh Wi-Fi and high speed internet is available throughout the house.

Second Visit

From the first visit before covid I have been trying to stay at this house again as it was perfect for my family. I am 87 so knew the downstairs bedroom and bath was perfect for me and also knew there were extra beds in the other bedrooms. So this year it was my daughter and her husband and another daughter with her daughter. I enjoyed the new deck and watched the tides and knew I would be happy to just stay there if the others wanted to do something I was not able to do.

Perfect place to relax on the water.

We had an incredible stay at this charming summer house in Maine! The home is not only comfortable and cozy but also exceptionally well-stocked with everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. The location is simply unbeatable — right on the water with stunning views of the bay that took our breath away every morning. One of the highlights of our stay was watching seals play from the deck. We even kayaked out to them, which was an unforgettable experience! The rocky beach was perfect for fishing and launching our kayaks. It truly felt like a private retreat, yet all the best outdoor activities were right at our doorstep. The house itself is beautifully maintained and thoughtfully equipped, making it easy to settle in and enjoy from the moment we arrived. If you're looking for a peaceful and picturesque escape with all the comforts of home, this is the place to be. We can't wait to come back!

Relaxing stay with gorgeous bay views

My wife, daughter and I had a restful and relaxing stay. The house has a beautiful view of Holmes Bay out the back windows. We loved curling up with books on the couches by the back windows that overlook the bay. We also really enjoyed the Adirondack chairs on the platform in the back overlooking the bay. We saw some incredible sunsets and saw a bald eagle fly across the bay from trees near the house. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We enjoyed hiking on the many trails in the area and visiting Campobello Island. My wife is already planning a trip to return next summer!

Downeast Relaxation

This location was what our family needed for a long weekend of nothing! The Rocky beach was isolated, yet a perfect place for our young grandchildren to explore and search the ‘pirate cove’. A few trips up and down those beach stairs were better than any gym workout! Amazing hikes were within short driving distances - all levels of hikes. The house is exactly as described and has everything you could possibly need or want!

The Buxton/Lucas Maine Vacation 2024

Third time to Woodland Pointe! Have made trips in 2008, 2017, and 2024, each successively better and more impressive than those previous! This gem in the forests of the Bold Coast never disappoints and provides easy access to areas such as Acadia/Bar Harbor, Campobello Island, Grand Manan Island, and local hiking trails near Cutler. It is clean, warm, inviting, cozy, and simply feels like home! On a scale from 1-10, it is a total 10 out of 10!

Woodland Pointe vacation

This was the first time visiting Maine for half of our group. Everything was great. The host had sent plenty of information about the property and things to do in the Downeast area before we arrived. The place was very clean and neat when we got there. The amenities were great (everything we needed). The house had plenty of room for our group (10 people) and was very comfortable.. The firepit and decks were great for time to relax with family. The views from the house and decks were phenominal. Everyone loved the ability to walk the beach and watch the clammers. It was a convenient location as a base when exploring the Downeast area ( Lubec, Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park local lobstering villages, etc.). Definitely reccomend this property and would stay here again. Thank you Jenny for providing such a great place and Sabrina for your help while we were there.

We had a terrific stay at this home. It is located directly on the water with 2 different decks to enjoy the view and stairs to the shore. The house is spacious and beautifully decorated with all the items you would need. Next time we're back in this area we will be staying again. Great place!

A Weekend in Paradise

We stayed Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night so we would be close by for my college graduation. This place was a dream for me, I have always loved the ocean and being right on the water and seeing so much wild life in the woods was so nice. The property was beautiful, clean, and well-stocked with any supplies you could need. The hosts are so friendly and communicated well, making the check-in and check-out processes a breeze. My family and I are wanting to return to this place every year! Thank you again for having us!

Hidden woodland gem on the water with stunning Sunsets.

We had a great stay, traveling with our son and daughter in-law and their Golden retriever. This a pet friendly property and boy was it ever. Maggie was greeted with a basket of toys, super convenient covers for the furniture made her feel right at home. My wife I and I chose the 1st floor bed room with attached bath. Upstairs bedrooms shared a large bath. The first floor rear deck was huge and had great views. A short walk to the second deck overlooking the water. The views were awesome. The house was very well organized and labels helped guide you to find everything you need. Very well equipped kitchen. Everything was spot less. There was a welcome breakfast gift waiting on the counter. We were traveling off season but used this as a base for day trips to NB, Lubec and the West Quoody light and more. We extended a day which was done with a simple message. The host is top notch, returning messages almost instantly. This is truly a great place to stay, we hope to return and enjoy the Bold Coast. Maggie gave it five stars for pet friendly and we all agree this was a 5 star stay!

Woodland Pointe stay

Very nice property, however the immediate ground surrounding the house could have used some trimming. There was debris and underbrush making walking other than the trail to the steps to the water difficult. We also found very strong urine left in the downstairs bathroom toilet, someone forgot to flush and of course that's the first thing you have to do upon arrival. overall we loved it, didn't have any communication with property manager.

Lovely place

This property is as close to perfection as anyone can expect -- and it's clear that this results from the owner's efforts. We stayed here last year but our trip cut short by one of us contracting covid. So we were looking forward to this year and were not disappointed. As last year, we've never visited a rental where so many of our wants had been anticipated. Notable among these are the covers for sofas and beds to allow our dog to join us. This extended to enough coffee that if we hadn't brought our own we would have been good for several days. We're not tea drinkers, but there was lots of that too. This morning my wife said: "I really miss sitting on the deck and looking at the water through the trees." I expect our dog misses running through the bushes and trees too.

This is an amazing property. My family and I really enjoyed it. The house is very spacious with plenty of room to spread out. Everything you need a s home away from home is provided.

Beautiful home in a special location

My husband and I spent several days at this VRBO while we explored the surrounding area. The lot is beautiful and private, the view is lovely, and the house itself was well equipped. We had some trouble with the door code, and it took about half an hour for us to connect with the person whose contact info we were given to resolve that and enter the house initially. Due to the recent rain and fog, we were absolutely eaten alive by mosquitoes every time we set foot outside. Other than that and a few small quibbles with the cleaning, this rental was perfect! (It’s worth noting the steps down to the shore are VERY steep which was fine for us, but the elderly, mobility challenged, and little kids would struggle. The weeds growing through the stair risers don’t help.)
