Upscale, sparkling Seaside Retreat with Ocean Views near Acadia National Park

Newly renovated, stunning, multi-level seaside home in Prospect Harbor, Maine. Relax and unwind on our spacious waterfront deck, the perfect setting for viewing the pink granite shoreline below.

Nearby Maine experiences include the world-famous Acadia National Park with hiking, biking, bird-watching and kayaking; the timeless lobstering villages of Prospect Harbor, Winter Harbor, and Corea with their blown glass and art galleries, quaint shops, and local seaside eateries; and bustling Ellsworth, where you can tour Maine’s premier historic estate Woodlawn Museum with its 180 exquisite acres and stately home or even try your skill at Candlepin bowling, played primarily in the Canadian Maritime provinces and here in New England!

Catch the ferry from Winter Harbor to Bar Harbor if you long for sightseeing, shopping, dining, and the historical sights of Mount Desert Island. Or… you may just want to sit sipping a morning coffee or twilight cocktail in our Adirondack swing and watch the occasional napping sea lion and ducks swimming to their rock islands in the bay. The home is well equipped with everything you need for memory-making with family and friends, and there is plenty of room to relax or even work remotely against the backdrop of the sound of the sea. Welcome to Ocean View Hideaway!

Beautiful house in a great location!
The house and grounds are even better than the pictures show. The house had plenty of room for our party of 8. We have stayed at many VRBO's and these hosts have the kindest and most accomodating we have had so far. Thanks!

Perfect place for a family vacation!
Our extended family of 10 stayed at this beautiful seaside home for a week and had the best time. The house was very clean and well appointed; it had absolutely everything we needed and so much more. Jill and Jed were incredibly gracious and helpful hosts and even helped with recommendations for the Fourth of July! The house is conveniently located but far away from the crowds. We especially enjoyed spending time on the deck overlooking the bay and exploring the rocky shoreline at low tide. We got to see lots of wildlife - many birds, foxes, and even a porcupine. This is an outstanding house in a great location.

Jill was fantastic in preparing us for our visit and supporting us as I asked many questions about the property and the area. The home is comfortable and versatile. We cooked, we grilled, we enjoyed time together in and out of the house. A great vacation home.

Perfect for families
The house was perfect for our family of 9. Lots of space to enjoy. For a family who plays lots of games, the game room was a real hit! Coffee on the rocks at the shoreline in the mornings and drinks on the deck at night were the perfect start and end to the day.

Perfect Getaway
We absolutely loved staying here during our Maine vacation! After a busy day in Bar Harbor or Acadia, it was the perfect retreat to re-energize and plan for the next day. We hope to come back soon! P.S. - our daughter named the 2 bunnies that visit daily Clifford & George.

Fall colors
We had a great time in Maine. This home was absolutely beautiful, wonderfully decorated, the outdoor space was also great. We used the outdoor fire pit and the sky was absolutely stunning with the Milky Way and stars right above. We were greeted with fresh flowers, some amazing breakfast coffee cake, and other amenities to make us feel welcomed. It was a very peaceful and private location!

This VRBO experience was great. The house is well equipped and contained everything we needed. Lots of linens and towels and very comfortable beds. Our group of 9 never felt crowded, with so many different places to be, both indoors and outside. Highly recommended!

Beautiful Home in Beautiful Quiet Location
Loved everything about our stay and the entire booking process with Jill West. The house is lovely with lots of quiet comfortable rooms and spectacular views throughout. We saw a seal, an eagle, harbor porpoises, cormorants, loons, a chipmunk, a squirrel and a duck family with a baby duck! Everything in a rental that you’d want to be there, is there, and more - including binoculars - and boy, will you use them! Thank you to Jill for the welcome gift and the little touches like fresh flowers, sunscreen, beach towels and laundry detergent. Prospect Harbor was quiet - don’t expect a big city experience. Bar harbor was great for a day trip and so is Acadia on Mt Desert. We loved driving over to Winter Harbor for some wonderful food in an adorable small town. My fave day was taking pictures in nearby Corea. We couldn’t have been happier. Thank you!

An Absolute Gem!
I can't say enough good things about this property. Our group had 5 adults and 3 children. The house was immaculate and the owners thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. Communication with Jill was perfect - she responded quickly to all of my questions and her responses were always thorough. She also gave some great suggestions for restaurants and things to do in the area. Adorable location, about an hour from Bar Harbor, and there are some beautiful walks, shops, and a couple of great restaurants nearby. You can entertain yourself for a couple of hours just driving the coastline and stopping to take in the views. My family had to drag me away away from the rocks, the views of the ocean, and sound of the waves at the end of our visit. I didn't want to leave! I highly recommend this property. You won't be disappointed!

A Very Special Place
We so enjoyed our stay at this property - from early morning walks among the fresh smell of pine to watching the tides come and go in the bay - what a special place! Close enough to Acadia to make everything we wanted to see accessible, but far enough off the beaten path to be able to relax and unwind at the end of a busy day. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home - many special memories were made on this three-generation trip.

Amazing views and clean
We felt at home but with a view. Lots of games for children, comfort, and a beach that you can see from the deck (just a short drive around the block). We only stayed four nights, but there were plenty of yard games and board games to keep our family busy for two weeks. 100% hit with everyone and the host is so kind and helpful in his correspondence. If we head back to Maine, we will stay here again.

Wonderful Family Getaway
We had a great stay, lots of space for a large group, two families of five. The teenagers enjoyed the puzzles and many indoor and outdoor games. Impressive library of books too. My daughter loved the piano, filling the air with music. The kitchen was spacious and there was plenty of space for sleeping, we felt at home. We enjoyed hiking the less busy Schoodic part of Acadia nearby, with easy to challenging trails. Views from the deck are breathtaking! An overall great vacation getaway!
