About this property

Acadia Oceanfront 4Bdm 4Bth Private Home on Duck Cove, Game Room Amazing Sunsets

Come visit Acadia and stay at our fabulous oceanfront retreat. We are located in Tremont, 5 minutes from Southwest Harbor on Mount Desert Island, home of Acadia National Park. Enjoy Acadia while avoiding the crowds in Bar Harbor! The "quiet side" of MDI has some of Acadia's best hiking, biking, paddling and swimming. Southwest Harbor is a lively little town with some of the islands finest restaurants, galleries and shops as well as a true working waterfront where you can enjoy lobster cruises, sunset sails or take a ferry to one of the neighboring islands. The western areas of Acadia National Park (Echo Lake Beech, Long Pond and dozens of the best hikes and beach trails) are just 10 minutes away and Bar Harbor and the park loop road are 25 minutes drive. Or if you just want a peaceful retreat, you can work remotely with a sparkling view out your window. Explore the shore on a leisurely stroll. Kayak in the peaceful cove, or paddle further out to the open ocean on an adventurous whim. Then return to your private hideaway. There’s plenty to do inside, as well, with ping pong, games, puzzles, and a lovely screened-in porch that maximizes that spectacular view in comfort. Idyllic.

Welcome to our Maine waterfront rental, Blue Heron Tide. It is designed to provide a variety of common areas for being together while ensuring that, if one party wants to read while another plays ping pong, you have enough privacy — and quiet — to do both simultaneously. Two bedrooms are on the entry floor, one with a double and another with a set of twins. The living room features wall-to-wall windows to maximize the view, and includes a game table and plenty of comfortable seating. The dining room generously seats eight and has ready access to the screened-in porch.

This is a 4-bedroom, 4-bath cottage directly on the ocean on Acadia’s Quiet Side, where you can enjoy all of the recreational opportunities that Acadia has to offer without having to sleep in the noise and bustle of it. The cottage is furnished with a nice mix of antiques and decorative touches unique to the area, while providing all of the comforts of home in a fully equipped kitchen, large dining area, full living room with bonus game table, screened-in porch, and separate recreational room and additional reading nook in addition to the bedrooms and baths. Outdoor spaces feature an oceanside patio with gas grille and beautiful view out to the cove and Blue Hill Bay beyond. And, of course, you have direct access to your own private stretch of Maine shore.

Two bedrooms are on the entry floor, one with a double and another with a set of twins. The living room features wall-to-wall windows to maximize the view, and includes a game table and plenty of comfortable seating. The dining room generously seats eight and has ready access to the screened-in porch.

On the second floor there are two additional bedrooms, the master, with a queen bed and separate sitting room, and a second queen bedroom adjacent to a reading nook. Each bedroom has its own private, full bath. The upstairs bedrooms enjoy the same spectacular view as the living and dining rooms. There is also a third level of living space on the ground floor, with a game room and comfortable seating area — perfect for separate recreation or quiet time. A ping pong table is also included, for entertainment on rainy days or a friendly tournament regardless of the weather.

Great family house

I stayed here with my parents, siblings, and fiance and had a lovely time! The location is great for everything on the quiet side of MDI and still just 30 min away from Bar Harbor and everything on the main side. We loved the screened in porch (because the mosquitos are no joke in the summer), ping pong table, and stocked kitchen for meals. Also a great price compared to others we were seeing! Definitely recommend!

Great Stay in Tremont

Our family, kids and grandkids, really enjoyed our stay in this lovely home on Duck Cove. The house had everything we needed and our kiddos spent a lot of time exploring the beach. The house is located close to great hiking trails but also far enough away for quiet time and relaxing by the cove. The owner, Tom, was readily available when we needed anything. We loved our time there. Great vacation!

Wonderful family home

This is such a special property on the quiet side of Mount Desert Island. The home was perfect for our family, with plenty of space to spread out and several different living areas if people wanted some peace and quiet. We brought our paddle boards and enjoyed exploring the cove every day. The home was equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and we would love to return in the future!

Beautiful Setting, Comfortable House

We loved the water views, sunsets, location on the quieter side of the island and accessibility to Acadia Park. My husband and I brought our two children, their spouses and and three grand children under four. We made full use of the extra bathrooms, laundry facility, roomy kitchen, screened porch and barbecue, The house could could use a bit of updating, but it was so comfortable that as time passed it began to feel like home - the way a family cabin would. The owner is quite responsive, left good instructions and supplied all our needs.

Great House in a Great Location

The house is very well maintained and very comfortable. The views are beautiful. The beach is right there, down the steps. This was a perfect house for us, spending the week with our daughter's family. We adults, as well as the grandchildren, had a lovely time. Oh, and the foosball and ping pong were an added plus. We have stayed here several times, and we will keep coming back.

Beautiful waterfront property

My family and I enjoyed the house very much during our July stay. The location right near the water made for beautiful views, and my kids loved going right down the stairs to the rocky shoreline to explore. A few small things that could be updated/maintained: screens and windows needing repair (the screens did seem to have let some bugs in), some mattresses needing replaced soon, and the dining chairs (and cushions) had some wear and tear (some chairs felt unstable to sit on). But the property overall was great, and the hosts provided so many of the essentials, including linens and towels, paper towels and toilet paper, even handsoap and hotel-style shampoo and conditioner. We really appreciated all that was provided. It was about a half hour drive over to Bar Harbor and main Acadia sites. Overall, a wonderful place to stay!

Oasis In Tremont

Between the hiking and white water rafting, my friends and I were able to rest at this amazing dwelling not far from Bar Harbor. We were all extremely comfortable, able to spread out and be alone while also having plenty of communal space to further hangout if we wanted. The view of the water from the living room is breath taking, particularly at sunset. Highly recommend for anyone but especially those who with slightly bigger families.
