Charming home with stunning bay views, sunroom, gazebo, deck, & grill

Waterfront Oasis

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Situated directly on Union River Bay, this waterfront home features a private footbridge leading right to the shoreline! Grill your local catch on the back deck. While dinner sizzles, savor a crisp beverage on an Adirondack chair. The waterside gazebo is the perfect spot to admire the beautiful sunset. You’ll love the sunroom. Amazing bay views are yours to enjoy throughout the home. Enjoy evenings by the firepit overlooking the water.

Prepare tasty meals in the kitchen, outfitted with a full suite of appliances. The sunroom dining table offers seating for eight. The kitchen bar seats four and a side table in the kitchen seats an additional two. Enjoy sweeping views from the backyard, which directly overlooks the bay. The sprawling lawn, two decks, a gazebo, and a gas grill create a serene outdoor oasis. There are plenty of Adirondack chairs for everyone in your group to find an ideal perch to take in the spectacular water views. Gather around the firepit when the stars come out.

Follow the private footbridge and stairs from the backyard down to the beautiful shoreline -- it’s only a matter of feet to the water! Drive to Ellsworth for restaurants, coffee shops, and breweries. A day trip to Acadia National Park, just 10.5 miles away, is a must!

Sunset every night

This home is situated in a lovely spot with full views to the lake and sunset from every room. It’s clean and comfortable but dated, the kitchen really needs some update especially the appliances and sink.

Relaxing and quiet

the location was beautiful and relaxing. The house was nice. It was close to Acadia. Stop at Sugar bakery (cash only when we went) that is close by for breakfast. Lobster pounds were close by and also very good.

Family Fun

The setting was beautiful and peaceful. There was plenty of room for our party of six. The two things I would suggest are - identify that the house has a lobster pot and the type of coffee maker available. I tried to get that info but was unsuccessful. Would go back again.

Beautiful spot

Nice tucked away home with a good amount of amenities for cooking, etc. We really enjoyed our stay and spent a lot of time in the back yard with the incredible view. The outdoor spaces and beach below felt very secluded and peaceful. We were happy with the location, with Bar Harbor and groceries both very nearby. We recommend it!

Beautiful location

We stayed at this property with two families of four. There was room for us all and the bedrooms were all very comfortable. The kitchen was well appointed for cooking meals and there was a very nice grill on the back deck. The best part was the waterfront location and we enjoyed evenings by the fire pit. It was a great spot for day trips to Acadia National Park and we thoroughly enjoyed exploring the area.

Beautiful View close to Acadia

Rural setting in the Trenton area but still close enough to shopping and restaurants. Excellent base for exploring Acadia and Bar Harbor. Magnificent sunset views over the water while sitting around the fire pit were a highlight. The house is older and needs some updates and more meticulous cleaning but everything was functional. We had a great time!

Beautiful spot

This home’s main selling point is the magnificent view, which we enjoyed every morning and evening in the comfortable Adirondack chairs set up in the backyard. The home is a little dated but the sheets were clean, the beds comfortable, and there were plenty of towels. The kitchen has all the appliances you’ll need. All in all, well worth the price and the experience.

Amazing!!

This house was absolutely perfect for our adventures in Acadia! My husband and I, and both of our moms, and we had PLENTY of room!! The “sunroom” was amazing and was really nice enjoying our lobster dinners while looking out at the bay. We also really enjoyed the beach access! It was really fun hunting for cool shells. We even saw a few little crabs! The property was clean, the neighborhood was very quaint and quiet, which we loved!!! We would definitely stay here again and I will recommend this place to anyone visiting the area!

Visit April 2024

Was visiting Maine with family to attend my son’s wedding at Acadia. Chose this house for the waterfront views and amount of space and it didn’t disappoint! The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is because the listing states and has photos of steps leading down to the beach but when we arrived the walkway was there but the steps were missing so we weren’t able to enjoy taking a walk along the beach and rocks which was the main selling point in selecting the property to stay at. Otherwise we were extremely satisfied with our stay and the house.

Very Tranquil

The serenity of this house was unparalleled. Arriving amidst a blizzard, discovering it felt like finding a pot of gold. Returning to the house was always a highlight for relaxation after exploring during the day. Unfortunately, the storm caused a disruption in the wifi service. We promptly notified the management, attributing the issue to the inclement weather. Despite the late hour, they assured us it would be addressed the following day. We sent a text message the next morning confirming that everything was back to normal, yet they still reached out to ensure our well-being. Their genuine concern was deeply appreciated. With such breathtaking natural scenery surrounding us, the absence of TV or internet felt inconsequential.

Fantastic west view over the bay on a quiet, private lot.

The fantastic private waterfront setting with gorgeous sunset views makes this property a wonderful vacation destination. It was an easy 25 minute drive to Bar Harbor, Cadillac Mtn and other popular Acadia spots. The kitchen was well stocked for meal prep and serving. Although the appliances worked well, they were old and the stove, especially, could have used a better cleaning - but nothing that kept us from wanting to use it. Living room and dining area in the sunroom were comfortable. Wifi worked well, but we were never able to get tv reception for our entire stay. We were given a discount for this inconvenience, but it was disappointing. Perhaps the system should be checked before each rental so that there is time for it to be resolved. The bedrooms were neat, clean and the primary has a beautiful view towards the water. Beds were very comfortable with plenty of bedding and the bathrooms were well stocked with towels and toiletries. We did have an issue with the door lock malfunctioning. The code is long & not easy to remember, so when the door locks behind you when it shouldn’t, it causes a hassle to get back inside. I read in prior reviews that other renters had door lock issues. I think it should be replaced. It was not enjoyable stuck outside in the cold wind while contacting managers for assistance. However, they did answer our call right away, provided a finicky resolution and were able to get us into the house.

Hidden fees

Our stay was wonderful. Property was fantastic. My only complaint is that when I reserved the property I was quoted one price and when I got my receipt VRBO had added an additional $272 service fee that was not disclosed when agreed to the rental price. VRBO advertises "no hidden fees" but that was not my experience.

Girlfriends Getaway

The house was very comfortable for us 4 gals who came to visit Bar Harbor and hike Acadia. The keyless entry code did not work, but Vacasa gave us code to the lockbox for the house key. We loved being on the water, beautiful sunsets and fun firepit. There was no hairdryer in the house, so the local agent was kind enough to drop one off the following day. Beds and linens were comfortable, and there were plenty of towels. This was a very nice vacation house. Highly recommended.

Beautiful View

The process to rent this home was easy until we had to “check in”. The code that was given to us was incorrect and the property manager wasn’t able to help. Just a minor inconvenience though as they rectified the situation with keys, however they did send someone to take a look at the locks. He was not able to fix it and said he would call us at some point to come fix it. Well that never happened, so hopefully the next renters didn’t have the same problem as us. The tv in the living area also was nearly impossible to get off of the children’s programs. We finally figured out how to program it to a few regular channels with the help of you tube. Other than that, everything was fine. we werent’ there for tv, but there was one rainy day so we stayed in. overall a very nice home.

Beautiful waterfront getaway

This was the perfect place for a relaxing family vacation with access to Acadia National Park. The home is in a beautiful secluded setting where you can enjoy all your meals on the porch overlooking the water, go for a swim and have easy access to Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, Trenton, and Ellsworth. The house is very comfortable and fully equipped with all that you need for your vacation home.

Graduation weekend

We were in Maine for my daughters graduation from UMaine the house is not close to UMaine (45 minutes) but we wanted to spend a few days in Bar Harbor and Acadia What a beautiful house could not have asked for more. All 4 bedrooms were very comfortable, the master suite was great for my 80 year old parents. The view from the many windows overlooking Trenton Bay was incredible. We would definitely book again and spend more time to just enjoy the house and location.
