Canal View|DTWN Bangor|Steps to great Restaurants
Decorated beautifully! Wonderful location. Responsive host!

Union River Retreat Private Apartment
Beautiful and cozy place and very responsive and accommodating host. Place is 30 mins drive from bar harbor and Acadia . The river down the house is an additional beauty in its own. The place had everything you need. The care the host took for arranging everything is really appreciated.

2 bedroom furnished apartment
This was my daughter and my second time staying here, its been perfect for us both times! It was a very easy check in, and Reed is responsive when contacted. We'll stay again I'm sure!

Andrew Peter's Block Apartment 3
Amazing location in quant and charming smalltown Maine! As close as it gets to Acadia without having to pay exorbitant lodging prices. Amenities were beautiful and the unit was well furnished and clean. Would highly recommend a stay here and may even come back again myself!

Penthouse Dynamic Water Views
We had a great stay at the Penthouse! It was a perfect launching point for our downeast adventures in Acadia and points beyond. There was a beautiful waterfront view in a charming small town. The space was cozy, clean, modern and very comfortable for our stay. Highly recommend it.

Parisian apartment in downtown Belfast, Maine
We had a wonderful stay in Belfast! Thierry was always quick to respond with any questions we had or recommendations needed. Apartment was clean, adorable and very comfortable. We were able to walk into town to enjoy the many restaurants near by. We would be happy to stay again when we visit and would recommend to friends and family.

Cozy apartment at Cabin Cove
Nancy's place was perfect for our trip to Maine! We drove to Acadia from here and it was about an hour drive. The apartment was cozy and had a great view, she had everything well stocked and even provided coffee which I appreciated since I forgot to bring some!! Highly recommend for a nice Maine getaway.

The American Eagle - Inn on the Harbor
I really enjoyed the hospitality room. It was great to arrive and use the room for hot drinks and snacks that were free. It was good to sit down there after our long trip and relax before heading up to our room. I also enjoyed meeting the manager and cleaner. It gave it a personal touch. The location was very convenient because there was an open restaurant next door.

Harbormaster’s House: Picturesque Waterfront
Great place to stay on the "Quiet Side". We are regulars on MDI and love this area so so much. The kitchen was well-appointed: especially amazed at the selection of herb/spices as a person who likes to cook. The home is fun and eclectic with interesting books, games, card decks (with all the cards!) and multiple areas to hang-out and relax. It was a little chilly for use of boathouse and kayaks, but I can imagine how nice that would have been. Our GPS had the address on the wrong side and not as far down the street.

Enchanting waterfront home on serene 15 acres
Unbelievable place! This is perfect coastal Maine , so no need to leave property.its close to a great beach , Acadia, and host makes it easy and a wonderful experience!

Shorefront Cottage
Dora and Daniel's home was the perfect location for our first trip to the area. We were grateful not to be in the middle of the mayhem of Bar Harbor but close to Acadia National Park - our purpose for being there. It was the perfect space for two couples who appreciated having our own space. The large kitchen, two living rooms, deck and large sized bedrooms were clean, comfortable, and often sunny! It was quiet at night - occasionally we'd hear a boat go out in the middle of the night. We used the fire pit one day (purchased 3 bundles of wood) as we watched the tide come in and go out. The approach to this property (a blue barrel that says "no trespassing") and the dilapidated structure to the right of the property along the shoreline was a little unnerving but it grew on us after a few days. The view of the harbor if we looked straight ahead was beautiful. We also enjoyed Beal's Lobster Pier twice; a short walk from the house.

Modern Lakeside Home
Excellent! We love staying at Zack's place. He is a great host - and the house is immaculate and cozy. Looking forward to our return stay!

The South Bay Maine House "on the rocks"
Gorgeous, well appointed Airbnb. It was even better than expected. Our family very comfortable and enjoyed all aspects of this very pretty location. The house had fantastic amenities on top of being in an amazing setting. We’ve discussed how we could return….

Lakeside Retreat House: Fire pit + Lake + float
This place was a great location, we stayed here for a concert at Bangor Waterfront. We loved the amenities and the fire place. The beds were extremely comfortable. Would recommend!!

Apple Cottage - Waterfront 2 Bedroom Cottage - SWH
What a beautiful cottage! The pictures don’t do it justice. Water views of the bay from the master bedroom, living room and porch. So close to Acadia trails in Southwest Harbor or Seawall. We hiked the main park on the Bar Harbor side in the morning, came home to rest then went to some great trails less than 10 min away from the cottage (Wonderland and Flying Mountain loop) walked to Charlotte Legendary Lobster for dinner one night. Say countless deer. Super peaceful and clean cottage. Easy to get everywhere we wanted to go. Loved our stay!

Waterfront home near Acadia National Park
Kay and Ricks place was absolutely dreamy! The house was gorgeous and had impeccable views. Watching the sunrise every morning from both balconies and the fire pit below by the water was truly breathtaking. The kitchen was absolutely stunning with a huge island to host all your guests and put out great family meals. We booked Kay and Ricks place due to the location of Acadia National Park and because of the Mount Desert Island race weekend (marathon, half, relay). We had a family pasta dinner rally in the kitchen and comfortably fit everyone! It was 20 minutes outside of Bar Harbor which was a perfect drive since you got to see and enjoy other aspects of Trenton, Maine. The house was peaceful and quiet. It was very enjoyable to relax at the house without hearing the buzz from downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia. The house had everything you needed and all the amenities included matched the description. We all felt right at home! We can’t thank the Host enough for this amazing weekend!
Waterfront condo rentals

Harbor View Cottage Unit A 2 bedroom downtown
What a beautiful location and house. There’s nothing better than sitting in the living room or front porch and being able to see the Belfast Bay. The house is very clean and neat. Beds are comfortable, shower is very hot. Don’t miss the sunrise in the mornings. Overall this is one of our favorite places we have stayed in Belfast.

Marina side Stern condo
The photos don't do this place justice. It was spacious and squeaky clean. Beautiful views of the water. For a busy marina it was pretty quiet. During the day there would be people just outside the unit talking but nothing disruptive. Great price for a beautiful place. Only about a 25min drive to Bar Harbor. We would definitely stay here again.

Toddy Haven: A Lakeside Condo Near Acadia.
BEAUTIFUL landscape directly on a lake with access to fishing poles, kayaks, and canoes, we felt like we didn’t need to leave the property at all. Perfect location to visit Acadia and near by towns. I wish we could have stayed for twice as long. The condo itself seems to be brand new! The beds were comfortable and the decorations and big screen tv were a nice touch. We spent hours on the dock and in the lake (kayaks). Cannot wait to return to this slice of heaven.

2BR Condo Downtown SWH + Ocean Views [Driftwood]
Good place to stay. See you next time

Best views on MDI 2 bdrm 2 bth condo waterfront
Well-equipped with guidebooks, kitchen implements, extra pillows, bikes, even a lobster steam pot! We lacked for nothing. Loved the photographs throughout the condo showcasing Acadia NP. Especially loved the map on the wall showing what islands we could see from the balcony. Neighbors were quite friendly & gave several good restaurant recommendations. Peaceful & quiet side of the island allowed for restful sleep each night such that I wasn’t tired after our vacation.

2BR Condo + Ocean Views in Downtown SW [Seaglass]
Excellent stay in this flat, very well equipped, well located and as per the photos. Patrick's instructions for check-in and check-out were very clear and allowed guests complete autonomy. Only downside: it's true that the flat is not very well soundproofed, so it's easy to hear people upstairs. Otherwise it was perfect!
