About this property

Back Beach Cottage sits directly on the sandy shores of Lopaus Point. The private beach is a great place to sunbathe, have a picnic, or take a dip in the refreshing Atlantic Ocean. Explore the rugged coastline and tidal pools or take a short walk to the local lobster pier for lunch or dinner.

Back Beach Cottage offers two bedrooms, one with a queen-sized bed and the other with twin bunk beds. The cottage is completely furnished and equipped with bedding, towels, washer/dryer, and a full kitchen as well as bathroom with a stand-up shower. To add extra warmth on a cool summer or fall night, a Vermont castings woodstove and electric heater are provided. In the living room, sliding glass doors open onto a full deck which offers a spectacular view of the beach as well as an excellent place to socialize or barbecue.

Great Place!!

This was our second stay at Beachside and it was just as great as our first! The location is amazing and the house has everything you need. Rusty, the owner, is very friendly and easy to contact if you need anything. A great “home base” but also just a great place to spend a day at as well. Looking forward to staying again!

Bass Harbor Sunrise

This waterfront cottage is perfectly situated to enjoy morning sunrises over Bass Harbor. The cottage is in a great location to explore Acadia from the quiet side.

Comfy House, Gorgeous Location

Rusty's place is a clean, simple, home in an amazing location. A great base for exploring Acadia, but we also really loved just sitting on the deck and watching the tides, birds, and boats. Bedrooms and bath are definitely small, but living room and kitchen are very comfortable.

Great location

Our family of 4 loved our stay at Beachside Cottage. The location was convenient for nearby hiking and it was about a 35 minute drive to Park Loop Road in Acadia National Park. We watched the sunrise from the screened in porch and sunset viewing was only a short walk away. A great experience overall.

The view.

The home was rustic but clean, and Rusty was helpful. The main thing is the views from deck, porch, and living room were absolutely amazing. Quiet and beautiful. Great vacation.

Perfect Maine Home

We had a wonderful month-long stay. The setting is always spectacular, the home had everything we needed and the host was always nearby happy to help. Having a walking beach right outside your door was a treat. Highly recommended for those looking for a quiet place with a view.

Amazing Location!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here- highly recommended for a couple or a small family. Waking up to the sunrise over the ocean everyday was amazing! It was great to stay on the “quiet side”. This place has everything you need and the hosts are friendly, helpful, and also give you your privacy. We made wonderful memories here and look forward to a future stay

Lovely Place to Stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Back Beach. The two of us have stayed there many times. The house itself was great. The view of the water was gorgeous. It was great to relax on a lawn chair or on the beach. Also, the location was perfect- down a country road, just a short ride to Southwest Harbor and to Acadia national Park.

We Always Enjoy Our Stay at the Back Beach

The Back Beach is one of our favorite vacation spots. It is right on the water. The view is beautiful. It is great to use its beach. It is near a number of excellent hikes. We also enjoy just sitting in the chairs on the expansive lawn, and relaxing as we take in the beauty of the area.

The location was nice. The house was as described. We were optimistic, but the bunk beds were not quite right for our ageing bodies... Beautiful property, nice beach. Too bad we were rushed out by a hurricane!!!

A little piece of heaven by back beach

Rusty and Lynn are gracious hosts with a beautiful piece of property. We loved being here and enjoyed a peaceful week. Bedrooms are small but the location more than makes up for it. Wake up to a beautiful view of Bass Harbor. Go to sleep with a wondrous view of the Milky Way!

We loved our stay. It was perfect. Rusty and Lynne are great hostess. Anything and everything you need is in the cottage. We especially enjoyed the tranquility of sitting down by the beach every night. Location is great. We will be back. Would highly recommend this cottage. You will not be disappointed.

AAAhhhmazing!

Beautiful and quiet location yet close (30 min. to Acadia)! Hosts were 5 star! House and grounds well maintained. Best part was being just steps from the water. Watching the sun come up right from the deck or screened in porch, catching the tide rolling in/out and seeing various wildlife. Walking along the water any time with plenty to explore both on site and in the quaint surrounding towns. We've never wanted to return to a VRBO until this gem! THANK YOU for sharing your lovely cottage!
