Our favorite place!

This was the nicest place we have ever stayed. Everything about it was perfection: the view, the decor, the amenities, kitchen supplies, extra pillows on the bed, extra blankets in the house, in addition to being spotlessly clean. We would love to stay here every year.

Near Perfection

Island Sky was perfect for my husband and me. It’s cute, clean and cozy. The location is great. The scenery changes constantly with the rise and fall of the tides which is fascinating. Sunrises and moonrises were breathtaking. The house was equipped with everything we could have needed. The only reason I didn’t give five stars is the mattress. That mattress needs an update for sure. Besides that, I would highly recommend Island Sky to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat.

Gorgeous!

Perfect place to enjoy privacy, views and a serene place to start and end each day. The views, surrounding, decor, porches, lawn.. were all perfect. There was ample space to relax outdoors, but the provision of some outdoor activities, such as cornhole, a fire ring, would have been nice, to provide ways to more fully enjoy the outdoor spaces of this property!

We were so happy to find Island Sky for a last minute trip. The house was so cozy with amazing water views! Great for bird watching. House was beautifully decorated. One set back was the one bathroom was on the first floor and the bedroom was upstairs. Great cottage for 2 people!

Amazing

Great location and wonderful time. The agents were great especially when we forgot to bring the keys with us the first time we left and had to call on a Sunday evening to get in! Beautiful, clean, well maintained place with the nicest amenities I have ever encountered at a VRBO. The fridge had a filtered water dispenser inside which we loved since we normally buy water on vacation and the freezer made ice. Had our 2 young kids with us and we did a couple of the puzzles there and our kids loved the shore at low tide. We brought an air mattress with us for them and it worked perfect! Beautiful sunrises!! Thank you for sharing your spot with us!

Wonderful Acadia Retreat!

Island Sky is an amazing waterfront cottage with stunning views of Acadia National Park. From the moment we got there, it felt just like home. The place is super clean, beautifully decorated with that perfect coastal Maine vibe, and has everything you could need for a week long stay. It’s tucked away down a quiet road, making it the perfect escape from the busy Bar Harbor, yet it's only about a 15-minute drive to the park and the town. The views are absolutely beautiful, and there are plenty of outdoor spots to sit and enjoy the peaceful waterfront sights of Mt. Desert Narrows. We loved having our morning coffee while planning our hiking in Acadia. Then after a full day of hiking, the cottage was fully equipped to make dinner, enjoy the serenity, and talk about our day. The location is awesome, just a short distance from the bridge to Acadia, making our daily trips to the park and Bar Harbor super easy. Plus, there are plenty of lobster pounds nearby, which added to the whole Maine experience. All in all, Island Sky has everything you could want in a vacation rental. It’s clean, has stunning views, and is equipped with all the amenities you need. We loved our stay and highly recommend it for anyone looking for a relaxing and scenic getaway!

Great Little Place

We had a wonderful stay at Island Sky! The property had beautiful water views and great amenities! We also enjoyed the sound of the little creek that runs along the side of the property. You are close enough to Bar Harbor and Acadia(about 15 minutes) and there are a lot of lobster pounds very near by!😁😍 We truly enjoyed our stay!

Paradise by the Shore

Island Sky is the ideal cottage for vacationing couples. The cottage is perfectly decorated and has all the amenities of home. The view is incredible along with the multiple outdoor seating areas to enjoy it. The quiet tranquility of the cottage and Trenton is a great reprieve from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor. We absolutely loved spending time each morning enjoying the view while having coffee and planning our daily adventures then returning to Island Sky in the evening to reminisce about the memories made that day.

Fabulous!

WOW! The view was magnificent, the furniture was lovely and comfortable, it had all of the features we needed and more for a week's stay...and it was so clean! I spent most of our downtime working from the picnic table in the yard admiring the view and my husband spent his in the recliner! The location to the park and Bar Harbor was great...close to everything but far enough away to feel like we were far from the crowds. I was concerned initially that the bedroom and bathroom were not on the same level but it was not a problem. The only issue we had was that the bed was hard and not so comfortable but that would not keep us from coming back as we loved our week at Island Sky!

Fabulous waterfront rental minutes from Acadia!

We stayed in this beautiful rental for the week while our son was at camp and we had a fabulous stay. Beautifully decorated with a coastal Maine vibe, insanely clean, well appointed and very private. The location is down a deceiving road, but tucked away and directly on the water with gorgeous views. About 1/8 of a mile to the bridge heading to Acadia, which made daily trips to/from Acadia and Bar Harbor super easy. We highly recommend this rental!
