Holiday rentals with beach access in Somes Sound

I love Maine's working waterfront and even though my stay was in the off season there was a wonderful glimpse into our fishing economy and the hard work it takes to keep it happening. The quality of light in the unit was amazing, and viewing the moon across the water was stunning. Easy to access all that the midcoast has to offer within an easy ride, to Rockland and Damariscotta and Boothbay and Wiscasset -- my favorite spots. Beautiful places nearby to hike and explore. Onsite staff people Debbie and Blair were wonderful; when I had an issue with the internet -- it was fixed quickly. Unit was well equipped for a person who loves to cook. Also having a bathtub in a waterfront apartment was a plus since many don't have them. Clean, comfortable, safe-feeling -- all one could want in a Maine coastal vacation. Wish I could have stayed longer but instead I'll just plan to go back again.

Stayed here post honeymoon and I can’t say enough nice things about Pam and her home. From the moment you arrive to the first time you open the door you can tell Pam really put in a lot of thought and love into making this place as amazing as it is. She even left us homemade muffins which were AMAZING. Also, You have a question? There is probably a sticky note close by with an answer on it, if not she is so nice and responsive . The home itself is an absolute GEM. She has a little coop facing her kitchen in the back yard with little duck chicken goat and ponies friends to say hi to. The balcony in the Airbnb overlooks the backyard and it is so carefully put together and clean, you will see the animals just wandering around and grazing. Pam gave us recommendations for places near by and the run down of bar harbor. I would 100% recommend and stay at this place again. Thank you Pam!!!!

As described! Located right behind Farnsworth Museum and walking distance to Main St. Had everything we needed in the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. Rosemary was very prompt in responding to questions. We had total privacy with easy parking. Nice upper deck for breakfast and a sitting area in the yard below. Main bed was super comfy. There’s a daybed in living room. (However, the daybed mattress may not be comfy for an adult.)

Absolutely beautiful place to stay! Would love to come back :)

We enjoyed our stay at Carolyn’s Airbnb. There’s lots to do nearby.

Dear Julie - We had a fantastic time in Maine, the people were lovely and your place was absolutely perfect! All new, so clean, private bedrooms, a hot shower after a day of hiking at Acadia, et cetera, et cetera. You have every single detail covered from the kitchen to the bathroom. I was in need of nothing and really had to think to provide some constructive feedback, and here it is. A vegetable steamer basket would be a great addition. Haha, that's it. Sooooo glad we stayed in Ellsworth instead of Bar harbor. Don't get me wrong, Bar Harbor is beautiful right by the ocean, but it's a bit too touristy for me, and the inflated restaurant prices are hard to endure. A 25 minute drive from Ellsworth put us at the loop road entrance to Acadia, so simple. We spent Saturday night at The Black Moon Public House whooping it up with locals to live music by the band T.O.M.B. Perfect week, perfect ending. If you read this and need a place to stay, book it. You'll be glad you did.

The property itself is situated in a beautiful location facing the harbor. View from the living room is marvelous. Quaint neighborhood and responsive host. Well stocked kitchen and living essentials. The space itself is well optimized.

I can’t say enough good things about this place! The location was amazing. Right off Main Street and totally walkable to anything in bar harbor with a parking space! It was on the right side of bar harbor to get to Acadia within 5 minutes. We loved all of the restaurants close by and the access to the park. The place was so comfortable and cozy! Beautifully decorated and warm after cold hikes in the park. We did not hear any noise at all from the hospital which is tiny compared to the hospitals in Virginia. I didn’t even notice it was there. Brianne was so kind and responsive and recommended lots of good hiking and dining options. I can’t wait to come back here again! If I could give this home 6 stars I would and I am usually a picky reviewer! We will definitely be back to the same house if we come back to Bar Harbor, which I hope we do! It’s a great base for exploring Acadia! The kitchen was well stocked and the bedroom was very comfortable. Thanks so much for sharing with us!

So many great things to stay about this fantastic Airbnb: amazing location, gorgeous backyard, everything was clean and neat. The hosts had excellent communication and were responsive as questions came up. They had great recommendations for supermarkets, hikes, local restaurants. There were so many little things that showed attention to detail: sound machines in every room, jewelry bowls on nightstands, good quality cosmetics, detergent for the washing machine, etc. The house has 3 bedrooms: all the linens were clean and neat. The one thing to keep in mind is that the third bedroom was smaller and had less space than the other two with no furniture - this would be perfect for a family with kids but was not ideal for 3 friends traveling since not all the bedrooms were exactly equitable. Overall, we had an amazing experience - it was such a pleasure to stay there.

This home was absolutely one of the most beautiful and well stocked AirBNBs I have ever had the pleasure of renting. Truly everything you need for the most perfect vacation in Mount Desert Island. And a wonderfully responsive and thoughtful host. 10/10 would book again.

This was a gorgeous place. Belfast was a cute little town not far away. We enjoyed eating at Rollies Bar and Grilland walking around town. Hannaford grocery store was close with average prices. We had approximately 1 1/2 hour drive when we visited Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor which were exceptional. We enjoyed the food at Geddys and Bar Harbor Inn. We also traveled to Owls head lighthouse and hiked through Camden State Park. This was a nice location we enjoyed our stay.

Lauren’s cottage was fantastic! Warm and cozy. Beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. The weather was unfortunately chilly and wet during part of our stay and the cottage was perfect to relax.

Carrie was very communicative as a host and made check in and check out easy. The space was beautiful and worked as a great jumping off point for sightseeing in Acadia and Bar Harbor while being very private. Carrie left us some great local recommendations that made our stay even better!

If you’re looking for a remote landing spot as you explore Maine, this will be perfect for you. We enjoyed the peaceful ambiance, especially the hot tub, after day tripping to other places. Highly recommend you 1) visit the Hannaford grocery store in Ellsworth before you get to the house, 2) research the surrounding area for any meals out, and 3) for sure go to Acadia National Park. Watch out for deer if you return to the house after dusk.

Very aesthetically pleasing. Big, love the open concept. Super conveniently close to the ferry yet very private and quiet. Hot tub and sauna are an amazing plus! Great deck with comfy furniture, grill and outside eating table. Lots of room. Gregory was very communicative and responsive. Lives right on premises, but gives you your space. Trying to figure how to make it an annual family gathering place.

Loved staying at the Treehouse! Anne was incredibly helpful ahead of our stay, sharing a number of great local recommendations for restaurants, activities, and hiking options. Very responsive leading up to and during our stay, which was great. The area is beautiful and location was great for us to travel all around Mount Desert Island. Definitely recommend walking down to the beach to watch the sun rise, maybe even a cold plunge! Thanks, Anne!

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.

Patrick's place was exactly as described. We'll appointed. It was in a private and serene location. Views of the ocean from the deck and windows facing the ocean were spectacular! Patrick was extremely responsive from booking through departure. Would definitely recommend this location to anyone not wanting the hustle and bustle of the Bar Harbor area. Utterly enjoyed our stay💖✨️

Great home in a great location. Very spacious and clean and Corey was very responsive. We had 0 problems with there being a restaurant down stairs. Beautiful views of the bay and a near by field where we watched little kittens playing with each other! It was adorable. We slept great and felt right at home!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and didn’t want to leave! Everything about the cabin was well thought out. We loved having a fire and looking at the stars from the dock! Mark and Laurie were fantastic, friendly hosts and made us feel right at home. We would love to come back someday!
