Waterfront holiday rentals in Blue Hill

Fantastic! Highly recommend this wonderful place. Right in the heart of downtown with plenty to do and see. Loved the modern touch on old charm!

Really nice well-kept space. It was very clean! Location was perfect for visiting the area. Private and peaceful! Loved walking down to the river just outside of the apartment. Would definitely stay here again!

We had a lovely stay at the Downtown Harbor apartment in the middle of June. The view is beautiful and the apartment is attractive, clean, and comfortably furnished. Larry and Sharon were extremely accommodating and really cared about our experience. Highly recommended to singles and couples visiting this part of the Maine coast.

Pam's place was absolutely perfect. The location was ideal, very close (walkable) to many shops and restaurants. It's situated on the second floor of a building on a pier, which was very private, quiet, and relaxing. The space was more than large enough for myself and my husband. The kitchen and bathroom were stocked with all needed amenities for a week-long stay. Pam's communication was stellar! She responded quickly when asked about restaurant/bar suggestions to watch our team's baseball game and other non-emergent inquiries. It was obvious she cared about her place and her guests. Her added touches (personal note and chocolates) made us feel welcome. If we ever find ourselves back in Boothbay, there is no doubt we will stay at Pam's place!

The apartment was immaculate, and perfect for two people. It was well stocked with dishes, paper products, and towels. The surroundings were beautiful and peaceful. Nancy and her husband were very friendly and gave excellent suggestions for local restaurants. It would have been nice to have access to a gas grill. We really enjoyed our stay, and would be happy to return in the future.

We had a lovely night at Audray’s place! The location & the views exceed expectations. It was clean, cozy and inviting. Edited to add- not reducing stars for this because we enjoyed the accommodations, but I want other travelers w/ pets to be aware: Audray reached out 24+ hours after we checked out to say her cleaning person reported “an excess of pet hair on furniture and linens than her washing machine could not handle”, and requested we mail her an extra $50 to cover special laundering. We sent $75 on platform instead as we were shocked and sorry to hear this. We found it surprising b/c were in the condo only 14 hours, we immediately covered the furniture w/ pet covers (we brought our own) upon arrival, we covered the beds w/ our own extra top sheets to protect the quilts from pet hair, & we do not let dogs sleep in the beds- we bring pet beds. We have only received compliments on cleanliness & exclusively 5 star reviews from hosts over 7 yrs and 23 stays all w/ multiple pets.

So peaceful but off season. So not sure how it would be with lots of traffic and people. But the private deck and entrance was wonderful. The water view couldn’t have been more up close and personal with the beautiful harbor. The place was clean and cozy. Perfect lighting. Didn’t watch tv once. A convenient common room for extra supplies or a cup of coffee. Staff was very friendly when we were checking out. No front desk attendant and none needed. They answer messages quickly!

We had an absolutely perfect stay on Mary and Rick's beautiful property. The photos don't do it justice - it's even more beautiful in person! We spent a lot of time just sitting on the deck with binoculars watching the changing river conditions, birds, and the occasional seal. It was so peaceful, and we had plenty of privacy but also a couple nice conversations with Rick. The nearby Bunyon Preserve is a great hike, and it's even walkable from the apartment! The apartment was also a great base for activities that do require a car - we did the Coastal Maine Botanical Garden; Boothbay Harbor for a puffin boat tour, sunset sail, and shopping; and a very fun hike/rock climb called the Giant's Stairs in Harpswell, and all were a very manageable drive. The apartment itself is lovely, and had all amenities as described. It felt very homey. And I loved that Mary's art was all over! In sum, I highly recommend staying here, and would definitely come back if in Maine again.

Incredible property with jaw-dropping views. I loved watching the tides come in everyday and there's a lot of cool birds and wildlife. The area for feedback I have is that the mattresses are all really firm which made sleeping a little rough. I still rate the property 5 stars and think it's the perfect getaway accommodation for visitors of Acadia. Also the hot tub is nice after sore hiking muscles!

This is our second stay at Fox Bluff in the last eight months, and we plan to come back many more times. It’s a beautiful home, and Lo is a brilliant host. She checks in regularly to make sure you have everything you need, but isn’t intrusive. The house is extremely well equipped, but uncluttered and airy. Secluded and peaceful, but not remote. There are a few nice restaurants and shops ~5 minutes drive away, in Brooklin, and then larger Blue Hill is a pleasant 20 minute drive: there’s a top-notch independent bookstore, Blue Hill Books; the Blue Hill Co-Op; excellent coffee at Bucklyn Coffee; nice restaurants and shops, etc. There are great trails and shoreline spots all across the peninsula, plus kayaking, sailing, beachcombing, etc. So many stars at night! We’ve always felt comfortable, safe and welcome in the house, and with Lo as our host. It’s our special place and will become yours, too.

Beautiful, comfortable, private and secluded, nestled in the woods with a view of the water. 8 deer frequently visit this property!

A beautiful home off the beaten track, surrounded by woods, and stunning view of Bartlett Narrows make this house special. On the quiet side of MDI, we had bald eagles, a school of porpoises and loons. The caretaker told us that seals come up on the private beach as well. We loved the seclusion and quietness of the place - particularly when the lobster boats weren’t working. The rooms are a good size, kitchen has all the necessary tools to cook, beds are firm, and the deck is comfortable. Place was clean upon our arrival. There are no stores within 15 minutes so planning your grocery trips is important. The Quiet side is great for hiking, and kayaking nearby. For lobster dinners, our favorite is Archie’s with live music and outdoor seating and views. Bar Harbor and the other part of Acadia National Park are a 20-30 minute drive. If you want a place away from the crowds, this is it.

Simply magical! Cozy and fun space. We enjoyed watching eagles and ospreys fish, seals pop their heads up, and even an adorable family of foxes from the comfort of the living room! Kitchen had all necessities for cooking most meals at home. A nice trail for walking down the road and an awesome beach where the kids threw stones and searched for seaglass each afternoon. We were all sad to leave!

My family and I had a lovely stay at Dean’s place. It’s just as depicted in the photos with gorgeous ocean views inside and outside. Our two boys had a great time wandering the shoreline hunting for treasure and exploring Acadia daily. We enjoyed our coffee on the deck & even saw a bald eagle one morning! We’d love to return when the boys are older and make use of the kayaks!

This house was amazing—hosts really have thought of everything when it comes to guest experience! Kayaking out to the tiny islands in the bay a couple times allowed us to see horseshoe crabs and bald eagles up close. The fire pit was great and the “s’mores station” with supplies in the kitchen upon arrival was so cute and thoughtful. Our three kids loved this place and didn’t want to leave at the end of the week. Our boys especially loved the lower level game room with ping-pong, arcade games, and pop-a-shot. The kids also loved reading on the sofa in the upstairs loft overlooking the kitchen. The kitchen is well stocked and we cooked dinner there a couple times during the week. The hosts gave great local recommendations as well—the craft beer at Fogtown Brewing in Ellsworth (less than 15-min. drive) is excellent, and it is very kid-friendly with a large outdoor eating area and wood-fired pizza. We’d love to return to this house! Mosquitoes are fierce so bring bug repellent.

nice host, nice house, more room for family, equipment are well.

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!

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.

Very nice place, totally renovated, spacious, cozy, and comfortable. It is located in a very beautiful area. We will be back for sure!

Toddy Haven is just that, a haven from the hustle and bustle of typical touristy locations. It really gives you the idea of what it would be like to live on a lake in Maine during the summer! The dock and the kayaks/canoe dedicated to our place were wonderful and the fire pit areas are amazing too! The host Mark has thought of everything for inside the place but I bet you haven't seen a full size pool table provided before?! As a SuperHost myself, I would rate this as one of the top 5 places I have ever stayed during my travels! Hope to return in the future!!

nice place

We had a wonderful stay in Ted's place. It has amazing views and the unit is well stocked with all necessities. Highly recommended!

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.

This place is absolutely amazing. It was larger than expected. It looked smaller in the pictures. Everything in the apartment was squeaky clean and we had every single thing we needed, from pots and pans to board games. Great ocean view from the porch, the living room and from one of the bedrooms. I loved seeing the boats pass by. So peaceful! I stayed there with my elderly mom, my teenage daughter and her friend for 4 days. There was so much to do! We enjoyed both the outdoor and the indoor pool. The kids took advantage of the Health Club by playing ping pong, badminton and going to the video game room. They also spent several hours playing chess in a very nice room near the lounge area that had a gorgeous ocean view. We had dinner at the Italian restaurant in the resort and were impressed by the amazing view. Great service. We also enjoyed the long walk to the lighthouse right next to the resort, and loved going to Camden, such a charming little town, 10 minutes away. The hostess, Laurie, was very accommodating, super nice, and communicated with me frequently, making sure I had all the answers I needed. I would definitely go back there! Glad to have made such wonderful memories! We didn't want to leave!
