Holiday rentals with beach access in Mount Desert Island

Emma’s place was a very tranquil stay on the quiet side. Close to Acadia national park but far enough way to feel away from it all. We loved the couch after a long day of hiking. This air bnb had everything we needed! We could have stayed longer. Would recommend to anyone visiting the island.

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

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

Julie’s listing was a wonderful place for us to relax after a day at Acadia national park or Bar Harbor. It was spotless and had everything we needed.

Stephen was very responsive and friendly! The place was a perfect location for our family and very close to Acadia and Bar Harbor. The place was very clean and the heater was amazing. The view was beautiful and peaceful as well! I definitely recommend this place.

The location was perfect - you didn’t need your car to get around. We were right at the main square or park with lots of interesting shops and restaurants close by. We were 10 minutes from Acadia National Park. Highly recommend spending the extra $6 to drive up Cadillac Mountain. The unit was well appointed, clean, and had games for the kids to play. I did’t care for the shower but I am not used to a claw-foot tub shower. Overall really enjoyed our stay!

Nancy is a very friendly and kind host. The place is very quiet and tidy. It’s very easy for us to drive to Acadia National Park.

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!

We absolutely loved our stay at Sweetwater! The home is beautiful, spacious, and sophisticated. It’s located in a peaceful corner of Southwest Harbor—perfect for relaxing after adventures in Acadia. The open-concept living area made it easy to gather as a family, whether we were lounging by the stone hearth, cooking in the well-equipped kitchen, or enjoying meals together. The multiple patios were a dream for morning coffee and evening unwinding. We had a campfire every night and walked to Beale's Lobster Pier by walking across the causeway one evening. Upstairs, all three bedrooms were thoughtfully designed for comfort—plush mattresses, soft linens, and just the right lighting. The master suite, in particular, felt like a serene retreat with its water view and private bath. This place felt like a true home away from home. We’d come back in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet, stylish, and well-appointed spot near Acadia.

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.

We were struck by the beauty of the place from our first step into the Boat House! It was beautiful inside and out! We soaked in all the beauty by stargazing at night in the adirondack chairs, and catching the sunrise each morning! We loved the sound of the water lapping against the rocks, and the distant sounds of the lobster boats heading out to sea! We loved how close it was to the Schoodic Peninsula for hiking, biking, and enjoying the crashing waves at Schoodic Point, and it was a beautiful scenic drive to get to Acadia National Park on the Bar Harbor side! It is also so close to the hiking up by Donnell Pond. We couldn't get enough of the place and will surely be back!

What an amazing place! Caroline’s home was perfect for our family vacation. It had everything we needed and more. It’s on the quiet side of the island and an easy drive to all the great attractions. This home is a great place to gather family and just be together. Thank you for sharing your space with us Caroline. 10/10 would recommend a stay here.

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!

Awesome house with fantastic views! The 5 of us girls had the best girls weekend ever. We had plenty of room, this house is very comfy and clean, and the hot tub and sauna were a plus. The ferry is so close you can walk to it. We would definitely stay here again!

Cute house, convenient to hiking the carriage roads and walking to Seal Harbor beach. This house is on a quiet road, with little traffic. Inside looks just like the pictures. We walked to the Lighthouse restaurant and had a very good dinner. There is also a bike rental shop within walking distance that opened June 7. This shop also sells ice cream and coffee, which is fortunate, since the only coffee shop in town closed down. Only problem we had was that the landline phone did not work. As Anne's listing says, due to the lack of reception, you can't make calls from the house or anywhere in Seal Harbor. Emails and texts worked fined. I would stay there again.

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!
