Wonderful & Private location!
We loved so many things about the cottage. Overall it was easy to use i.e. the washer/dryer are always appreciated and just the flow of the cottage worked really well. We are older so its being on one level was great and the views are stunning! It's close to great sight seeing and awesome restaurants. Being able to take the ferry over to Bar Harbor was a plus too!

Quiet and comfortable with gorgeous bay views. Eagles, hummingbirds, the occasional deer. Dark enough for exceptional star gazing and glimpses of the milky way. We hope to return.

Amazing Ocean Front deck/lanai
The view from here of the ocean is incredible. The waves are amazing here and it was a great pleasure relaxing and cooking here. The kitchen has everything one needs. It is a remote area which we loved because we couldn't see the neighbors. . The bedrooms were on the smaller side but we like being cozy. There is plenty of room in the living room and outside for people to congregate. A part of Arcadia National Park is 3.5 miles away on the Schoodic Peninsula from the house.

What a Gem
The house is adorable! We enjoyed the view from the back patio: the lobster boats would move in and out of the harbor and pick up the traps. We even saw dolphins one day. The kitchen is well stocked. You can see the harbor from the living room and kitchen. It is effortless to interact from the kitchen to the family room. There are two comfortable bedrooms and two bathrooms. Only one bathroom has a shower, however, the other has a big bathtub. We loved the location! It was peaceful,but we could still travel a short distance to get to a restaurant or for ice cream. The Schoodic Peninsula is AMAZING and not crowded. We saw great sunsets, fished, climbed on rocks, and had picnics. The drive to Acadia was a little over an hour but the scenery along the way made the trip go fast. Having a washer and dryer in the house was also a great feature. Quick responses from the owner and very easy to work with!!!! We loved every moment spent there.

We loved the location. We got to the location after dark. Walking in the front door we were immediately happy with our decision. Then when the sun came up in the morning the view of the bay was amazing. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us.

Lovely cottage.
The cottage is beautifully situated close to the water. The cottage is quiet and comfortable. The sea breezes are constant so even a hot spell is pleasant. And the wave action lulls one to sleep.

Cozy and Perfect
We were super happy with our stay here! It’s clean, cozy, and well-stocked! There is a beautiful view of the ocean from the living room/kitchen and a big deck with lots of comfy seating. You can hear the ocean from the bedrooms, with the windows open. The road in to Dancing Tides meanders through coastal woodlands and to me, it’s part of the charm of the whole experience. So pretty! The Schoodic part of Acadia National Park is only a few minutes away. We have been coming to the area for a long time and this place was one of our most enjoyable stays! We would definitely come again. Book it!

Great summer getaway in Maine
We've stayed at this house twice now and love it. It's a great location on a rocky beach in a quiet neighborhood. Nice view of the bay from the back deck and always the sound of waves crashing on the rocks. We hope to be back again in the future.

Wonderful house right on the water!
Loved our stay here. The house was clean, well stocked and right on a rocky beach! It’s about an hour drive from Bar Harbor, but that wasn’t an issue as we had a car. It was nice to escape the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor and come home to this quiet home. Plenty of room for our family of 4! Loved waking up in the morning having coffee on the back porch and being able to hear the waves and see the water! Highly recommend staying here!

Awesome remote location
We has an awesome stay on this beautiful part of the Maine coast! Yes, it is remote, or a bit out of the way, but that was the point of this trip! The home was very clean with a well stocked kitchen and comfortable beds! Too bad the weather didn't cooperate for much of our stay to enjoy the deck, but the home has an incredible view. Nearby Corea and Winter Harbor had great places to eat and pick up a few supplies like fresh seafood. The home is also very close to the Schoodic Peninsula portion of Acadia National Park. Owner was very responsive to questions!

Amazing views
I’m so glad I found this cozy cabin in the small town away from Bar Harbor. Our host Ashley had great communication from booking on. I was able to extend my stay by an extra day with ease. I always looked forward to the sunrise with coffee on the patio. The towel warmers are a nice touch and the house has everything you need down to spices in the pantry. I hope to visit again next year!
