Wonderful stay!

The property was better than we expected! We enjoyed the beautiful morning sunrise each day and relaxing on the private beach. Close enough to explore local areas but secluded enough for a peaceful retreat. Home was fully stocked with tons of room for everyone. Would love to stay here again.

Great family vacation!

Beautiful views and access to the water. Water shoes required due to rocks and some glass though! Yard was fenced in for the pup and the house was perfectly set up for our family - we rented a kayak which we all used and the drive to Acadia was a short 15 minutes - we loved it!

Great Home in an Amazing Location

We had amazing week in Maine, and loved our time at this home. Very comfortable house with all of the amenities, spectacular views, easy access to Bar Harbor and Acadia. We rented kayaks from a nearby business and enjoyed time on the water, and also enjoyed hiking and biking in the national park.

The Perfect Place!

This is a beautiful, very clean, private house. It has everything you’d ever need for your stay. The fenced in yard was perfect, the beds were comfy, powerful showers, and sooo much space! The views were beautiful and peaceful. Plus it’s close to stores, hiking at Acadia, visiting Bar Harbor, and lots of yummy lobster near by! I hope if we ever get to come back to Maine, we can stay here again! We ALL loved it!!

Beautiful Waterfront Stay

The house was very spacious and clean, but even better were the views and outside space! Our kids loved the fenced in yard and walking down to the beach, and we enjoyed watching the stars while having s’mores by the fire pit! Everyone had plenty of room to play cards, do puzzles, and sleep comfortably inside, and it was a short drive to anything we wanted to do! Definitely recommend this property!

We return to this property whenever we can. The home is beautiful, clean (no clutter), has comfortable beds, and a perfect location! We love the close proximity to Bar Harbor/Acadia and Ellsworth. There is always something to do in town or you can just relax on the deck and listen to the waves with a glass of wine. We can’t wait to return!

Another Great Stay!

This was our second stay in three years in this wonderful home with our extended family. The home is very well maintained, very clean and the new deck makes for excellent lounge time in the evening. The fenced in yard was perfect for our French Bulldog, James Bond, and the rock beach was a favorite of our kids for treasure hunting and some chilly swimming. The proximity to Acadia is ideal as you're close to the hiking and sites, but also far enough away to enjoy the tranquility of the area. This really is the perfect home for family gatherings and we'll be staying here again the next time we go to Acadia.

About the host

Hosted by Daria Duda

Host profile image
Scott & Daria have been visiting the Bar Harbor area for many years and fell in the love with the area. They purchased Western Bay Shores in 2012, and another property a few miles away in 2014 and manage a 3rd property close by. They enjoy time here in the off-seasons as well. Back in Philadelphia, Scott is known for his award-winning beer, and helping new start-up breweries, while Daria works in marketing at a technology company.

Why they chose this property

When Scott & Daria bought Western Bay Shores, the former owners provided a comprehensive 'book' of everything about the house - ending their description with 'It's a special place.' This statement couldn't be more true … you'll find relaxation and enjoyment here at this home - it truly is a special place and we are happy that we can have our guests enjoy this slice of Maine as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

Moon rise over the water - truly awesome, especially during a full moon. And the sunrises can be spectacular.
