Perfect spot to relax!
This was the prefect spot for our family and friends to relax and connect. Waking up to the water, running in the grass, and relaxing by the fire at night, made our time at the house enjoyable. About an hour from Bar Harbor and Acadia, which required planning with the kids, but was well worth it.

Amazing Family Vacation
Everything you could want for a family vacation! Private beach for exploring and treasure hunting, lawn space for games, hot tub and star gazing at night, fire pit and smores, plenty of room in the well appointed and comfortable home to enjoy gatherings and game night or cozy up and relax while enjoying the spectacular view! An easy drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Don't hesitate, you won't be disappointed. We would stay again in a heartbeat!

Perfect Family Vacation spot
We rented this home for a week get together with our adult kids and toddler grand kids (9 total). The place was absolutely ideal for us. The private beach and beautiful lawn were great for the kids to play in. The hot tub was pristine and we used it every day. The house was immaculately clean and is the best equipped rental we've ever had. Our whole family agreed that we should come back next year!

Wonderful home
We had a fabulous time staying downeast at Michael’s beautiful property. The air conditioning in the bedrooms was a welcome surprise, but the sea breezes coming off the water were delightful as well. The kayaks and canoe were frequently used, and the house had everything we needed for a fun family vacation. Acadia national park was close and yet far enough that we felt secluded but could also hop over to the busier part of the island pretty easily. If we are ever back in Maine we would absolutely stay here again.

Relaxing!
Michael is a wonderful host. During the in person check in he answered questions on local attractions and favorite eating places. He even left his personal cell if we had any more questions. The view from the house could not be more tranquil. The water was calm for kayaking and paddle boarding. Surry is small community close to all Maine’s attractions. For us it was the perfect combo of quiet relaxation and quick drive to hiking and the convenience of town. We highly recommend this house. You will not be disappointed

august stay
The prior reviews speak for themselves. Beautiful, spacious home, extremely functional AND extremely comfortable, and as well stocked with everything you could dream of for a vacation in this area. THe location is a dream with a beautiful beach with great entry into the water and a gigantic yard - just look at the pictures. Michael is a pleasure to interact with and while we had no issues whatsoever he is clearly very available to help with anything as mentioned by many others. A gem.

Family Celebration of 70, 50, & 40
It was more than we hoped for! We had teenagers who stayed on the bottom floor with their own kitchen. Room on the main floor for the parents and the younger kids. Everywhere you looked there was a beautiful view. Plenty of space for everyone to be alone or to gather together for family fun! This home was spotless and well stocked. Mike was a responsive host Who obviously took great pride in the property and the responsibility of assuring a great vacation. 18-year-old grandson hoped to come back… What more could one ask for! Wonderful memories. thank you so much

Definition of a vacation
This home is immaculate! Michael welcomed us with a tour of his beautiful, inclusive property and was always a call away if need be (which we didn't). A true vacation with his attention to detail allowing us to pack lighter and truly relax. Bath towels, beach towels, toiletries, dish soap and dishwasher tabs, bikes, helmets, and life vests. These little touches might seem small, but for us not to have to travel with wet gear at the end of our vacation was appreciated beyond words. Michael genuinely cares about his property and doesn't expect his guests to be treated differently than family! Clean, equipped, gorgeous views, stocked, and something fun for everyone! The grounds provided room for any activity the kids imagined and Michael made sure the grass was perfect for us to enjoy! Highly recommend this home for couples or families.

Delightful!
Michael is a great host (including a personal tour of the property when we arrived even though it was late and dark) and we lacked for nothing. The house was immaculate, the beds comfortable, the amenities plentiful. Having a pristine hot tub to use at the end of a long day of hiking was heavenly. We also enjoyed the fire pit (thank you, Michael, for the wood you had ready for us), the bikes, the frisbees and the pool table. The sun rising over the Union River Bay was a special (and unexpected) treat, and my daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed beachcombing at low tide. Although we had every intention of using the large outdoor lobster pot that Michael showed us during our initial tour of the house, The Union River Lobster Pot in Ellsworth became our favorite go to place for evening meals. We also roasted hot dogs and marshmallows in the fire pit which was fun, and Michael’s grill is huge, clean and easy to use. What a wonderful home base for us to use as we explored the incredible beauty that is Maine! Thank you, Michael, for sharing your home with us.

Family Thanksgiving
This property exceeded our expectations. The beautiful pictures on the listing did not fully capture just how stunning this place is. The grounds were so great - large lawn area, several patios with seating and dining tables, a fire pit and pristine hot tub, basketball, lawn games, bicycles, kayaks and a canoe, and a rocky beach at low tide. There was something for everyone. Michael even provided wood for the fire pit, which we enjoyed one cold night to roast marshmallows for S’mores. The house was fabulous!!! With six bedrooms, 2 living areas, 2 kitchens, a loft area with seating and a pool table, there was room for everyone - to relax, play games, watch TV, share meals, etc. The house is beautiful with huge windows and sweeping views of Union River Bay and the Acadia Mountains. Nice comfortable furniture and beds. Very nice bed linens and towels. And, this house was immaculate. Exceptionally clean, even under cabinets, in drawers, etc. A great deal of care and attention to detail went in to providing this home as a vacation rental. The kitchens had everything you could possibly need, and the bathrooms were supplied with soaps, shampoo, etc. The host and owner Michael was so helpful and attentive to any little need or question we had. He welcomed us on the first day and checked in on us several days during our stay to be sure all was to our liking. This was the perfect place for our family Thanksgiving gathering. Thank you, Michael for making it available for us.

Waterfront Paradise
This property was spectacular! The waterfront view and beach access was such a luxury - our three families with kids ranging from 3 to 11 absolutely loved running out to the water every day and exploring the tide pools, skipping rocks, beach combing for treasures and getting out on the water. The owner Michael clearly cares deeply about providing the utmost experience with his gorgeous home, along with incredibly (and surprisingly!) high quality amenities both inside and outside the house. Outside perks included kayaks, canoe, paddle board, super clean hot tub, a great grill (also cleaned!), four adult bikes with high quality helmets, lawn games, and a great fire pit (with fresh, dry wood)! Inside the spacious home, we found high quality kitchen appliances including blenders, hand mixers, a waffle maker… and plenty of great knives, plates, glassware and flatware. We made great use of everything and dined indoors and outdoors all throughout the day. The open ground floor had plenty of hangout space, upstairs had a pool table and downstairs even had workout equipment! Each family got their own floor, each with two bedrooms and a bathroom, making it really easy to share the entire home. The gardens were absolutely gorgeous with hummingbirds and butterflies, and the immaculately organized garage inspired us all! Stargazing at night was truly amazing! This property has raised the bar for all other future rentals. We would love to come back again! Thank you!

Incredible Property
This place has everything you could possibly need, way more than any other vacation rental I've stayed in. And if it doesn't have it, Mike is there to get it for you. The pictures don't do the property justice, it truly is a beautiful location. Mike goes above and beyond making sure everything is perfect and taken care of with incredible attention to detail. Our entire group was very impressed! Highly recommend for a group trip as there is PLENTY of space.

Milestone Celebrations
Lovely property. Met our adult children from other east coast locations for time to celebrate and relax. This property was ideal. Great spaces, well equipped kitchen, outdoor space and activities and a hot tub to star gaze from. Michael was a great host, immediately responsive to inquiries and proud of his property. Highly recommend.

10 Days in Maine Paradise
This was the perfect place for our 10 family members for a 10 day vacation and two anniversary celebrations. The house is spacious, clean, and very well maintained. It was even better than the photos. The grounds are amazing and so relaxing by the water. The owner includes many amenities including kayaks, bikes, life jackets, yard games, fire pit, and more. The hot tub is drained and cleaned before arrival of each customer. This is an absolutely wonderful place for a family with kids. Michael and Jill are great hosts and very responsive if needed.

The listing is very accurate and the house served our needs well. The property is great and even better than the pictures. The only downside was the lack of central AC (AC in the the upper bedrooms was great) for a few days when we had high heat and humidity.

Couldn’t have asked for more…
This may be the best home we’ve stayed in. It is everything you see in the photos plus excellent property management! Michael was available for any questions and the home itself is wonderful. Very spacious and all the amenities needed for a relaxed vacation. You get the peacefulness of the country, the beauty of the water, we had the autumn foliage, and a pleasant, not too far drive to Bangor or Bar Harbor. I highly recommend if you’re looking for a fantastic Maine getaway.!

Perfect private vacation hope for families!
I see that there are so many glowing reviews already that I will focus on some key details- but overall all of the other reviews are spot on and this place is top notch! It's a 6 bedroom house in Surry Maine on a very large private beach (particularly when the tide goes out). 2 bedrooms on main floor (including Master) 2 bedrooms in basement- which has direct access to outside, and 2 bedrooms on top floor. Each floor has 1 bathroom which is shared. There is a kitchen on the main floor and a 2nd full kitchen on the basement level. There are several common areas on all floors (see pictures), but good flexibility for meals to either eat in a large group or have separate pods. We traveled with 4 of my kids's friends- so a total of 6 teenagers, and the setup was really perfect. I could also see the setup being great for 2-3 families spreading out, or a large family gathering. The house is really well equipped with cooking pieces and there is a very large gas grill that utilizes propane from the house. We cooked all of our meals with no problems. Surry is a small town about 25 minutes south of Ellsworth. There are a few nice restaurants/stores in Surry, but it's generally very limited. Ellsworth is a fair size town/suburb where there's lots of stores and that is where I would recommend filling up on groceries on the way to check in. Mike the property owner had great communication and was there when we checked in and to show us around. Highly Recommended!

Spectacular Getaway!
The house is amazing - beautiful views - inside and out. Everything offered in the house was top-notch! We thoroughly enjoyed kayaking and fishing on our own private beach. There are many spaces on the property to enjoy in both sun and shade. The grounds on the property are gorgeous! We were able to enjoy Acadia and Bar Harbor as well as just relaxing on the property. Mike was an exceptional host. I would highly recommend this property and would love to visit again in the future.

Wonderful stay at an ideal rental home
Clean, spacious, in an ideal location and stocked with a ton of extras (bikes, kayaks, outdoor games, etc.). Michael, the owner, welcomed us and was very helpful and available if we had any questions. It's about an hour to Acadia, so we were able to spend a few days there and in Bar Harbor, but then retreat to the quiet and rest of this beautiful home. We all agreed that this was the best house we've rented in Maine and we would love to return again. Thank you, Michael!
