Beachfront holiday rental in Sandy River Beach

Can’t say enough about Craig’s beautiful lakeside cottage. If you like remote, peaceful and being close to nature this is for you. The house and contents seemed brand new and they had thought of everything we could want, right down to pancake mix, maple syrup and Maine blueberries for our breakfasts. An easy drive to Acadia. Craig was communicative, friendly and helpful. We had a fantastic stay and hope we’ll be back.

What a cool house! Very unassuming from the pictures. It's like a time capsule -- shag carpet, retro wallpaper, vintage fixtures and paneling. Although old, everything was clean upon arrival. I love old things so I enjoyed the aesthetic, although for someone with heavy allergies or sensitivities, the age and moisture may be something to consider. That being said, I have chronic allergies and sinusitis and I would 100% stay here again. The property itself is the focal point and the draw. It's set on a point of the cove where you can hear and see the seals in the distance, and you feel like you're on an island. While we were there, the sun came up at 4:30 every morning and we were out on the back deck at 4:45 with coffee in hand. So peaceful and serene! Use of their kayaks and life vests was an added bonus -- note to self, the islands in the distance are further than they look!! :) The kitchen was well equipped for cooking, and we enjoyed the use of the back grill. Lovely home!

Amazing place to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the water and wildlife. Neil was a superb host and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome . The place was more beautiful than the pictures and the view and sunsets amazing ! Our golden Luna loved the daily walks down for the bay and spent hours in the water . We will definitely be back ! Thanks again Neil and Debby for being the most superb hosts !

This cottage is lovely and huge! It has a theme of the color orange, which I happen to love. Our guests had a private area in the basement with their own bathroom. The view is great - overlooking the cove (just like the picture.) We did lots of cooking in the kitchen which was well stocked. The area was close to Acadia which was the focal point of our trip (besides the lobster.) Christy was very responsive to questions we had - and very friendly. Great place for a reunion of friends or family!

The property was very inviting and animal friendly for our three dogs.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Rest Ashoar Cabins! It was absolutely perfect for our family! Our two boys loved playing on the tide pools and in the sand on the beach. The digger toys were a HUGE hit! The fire pit set up for each individual cabin is amazing and we built a fire each night and loved watching the sunset on the ocean. This was by far my favorite family vacation and stay at an Airbnb! Ashley was very responsive and helpful whenever we had a question, and thoughtful enough to call around to different places when we were in search of something specific. You will not regret your stay in one of her cabins!! The scenery, cabin, and everything was PERFECT!

We loved our stay at Shackford Cottage. It was cute and rustic but perfectly comfortable for me and my 3 sons. The location was even better than I imagined, with breathtaking views and a great walking path directly into town. The beds were comfortable and the house was equipped with everything we needed. We’d definitely book another stay here!

Super experience. Surpassed expectations. Beautiful location with all the amenities making our stay welcoming and refreshing. Location absolutely stunning. Host accommodating. Host went above and beyond to make sure our stay was welcoming and comfortable. They were understanding and accommodating to our particular needs in every way. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and will book this property again when in the area. Top notch experience and would recommend booking this property highly over many others. We travel frequently and this is one of the best experiences we have had booking properties. Thank You Aaron and Angela!!

We absolutely enjoyed our stay! We came up for a friend’s wedding and loved the area so much we are already talking about coming back next year. Cabin was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. View was fantastic. We will definitely be back!

I’m not one for taking a lot of time to write a review, but this place is the best Airbnb I have ever stayed at. Clean, beautiful, peaceful, private, and the attention to details is amazing. More than we ever expected, this place is amazing!

We booked this space for my parents from South Africa and they had a delightful stay at Eastport. The hospitality from our host,Janet, enhanced our experience. She went out of her way to make us feel at home and we could not wish for a more attentative host. The unit was pristine clean and beautiful and we enjoyed the peaceful surroundings. Janet- thank you for taking care of us in the way you did.

This stay was absolutely beautiful!!! It looked EXACTLY like the photos, maybe even better! It’s right on the water with a gorgeous view. If you like swimming in your own front yard and sitting up in bed to stunning landscape, this is the stay for you. We spent our time relaxing in one of the most comfortable beds Ive had at any hotel/airbnb, swimming in the water right off the dock, and watching wildlife right from the porch. The area is a large property with multiple stays, and while we passed our neighbors a few times we still had tons of privacy. This would be the perfect location for large groups wanting to rent the entire property/multiple stays on the property. We will hopefully be back in the future with the whole family!

Had a great time! Place was perfect for a group of us to relax and is a decent price if you have a large group.

Three girlfriends and I stayed at Hillside for a week. The setting and location were absolutely beautiful. It was so quiet and peaceful and I loved walking the trail. The house was roomy and comfortable. We highly recommend!!

One of the best places we have ever stayed, with one of the best hosts. The home is thoughtful and peaceful, Arnold and his wife have done a beautiful job at cultivating a relaxing and restful environment. The scenery and area is amazing, perfect central location for exploring lots of different parts of Maine, or the house/land is good enough for a trip where you just stay in for a week. Couldn’t recommend this place enough, hope to be back sooner than later.

Very cool yurt on a kelp farm! Right on the water and the chairs overlooking the bay for the sunset was worth the couple nights in itself. Trey is there to meet you and show you around the property. There were also very friendly property dogs that loved to say hello! The bathroom and shower were in a separate building but was clean and just a few feet from the yurt. There were windows in the yurt that make for a nice breeze through the yurt. The kitchen amenities made making coffee and heating up food a breeze. The host had great information about trails in the area and food recommendations.

Great private spot. Off the beaten path. Could be further from Bar Harbor than some might prefer. Very clean, scenery was great and we paddle boarded and kayaked as we had direct access to the water. We really enjoyed our stay and Chad was super responsive and very helpful.

Had a great stay with friends at Gregory’s place! The nature around was amazing and the place had everything we needed! The easy walk to the private beach was so worth it!

We had a wonderful weekend staying at Brianne’s place in Chamcook. This was our second time visiting & we were so excited to be back. The home had everything we could need and our hosts were very responsive and helpful. We were travelling with our children and appreciated all of the board games, toys & baby gear at the house. Highlight of the weekend was how much sea glass we found during walks on the beach! Definitely recommend!

We were struck by the beauty of the place from our first step into the Boat House! It was beautiful inside and out! We soaked in all the beauty by stargazing at night in the adirondack chairs, and catching the sunrise each morning! We loved the sound of the water lapping against the rocks, and the distant sounds of the lobster boats heading out to sea! We loved how close it was to the Schoodic Peninsula for hiking, biking, and enjoying the crashing waves at Schoodic Point, and it was a beautiful scenic drive to get to Acadia National Park on the Bar Harbor side! It is also so close to the hiking up by Donnell Pond. We couldn't get enough of the place and will surely be back!

We had a lovely, comfortable stay at Seascape and Debra offered responsive communication from my initial inquiry to departure. I especially enjoyed sitting on the deck with a water view for meals, and seeing the dramatic change in the beach from high to low tide. It is a treat to be close to the water and also have some trees for shade in the yard. West Quoddy Head State Park is stunning for hikes, and only 5 minutes drive. The town center is a quick drive, but note that some amenities (pizzeria; live music at the pub) will be available weekends only, as in many coastal Maine villages.

Ben and Gary's writers cabin was one of the most beautiful locations I have ever been. The cabin is even more beautiful than the listing pictures and is so incredibly close to the water. We had the best time in Maine thanks to Ben and Gary. Not only was the property amazing but so were Ben and Gary. Very kind individuals. Thank you!! Would love to visit again.
