The house was located in a very private, peaceful setting. A bird lovers paradise. Perfect for anyone who just wants to get away from the hustle and bustle of life!
My wife and I truly enjoyed our stay. The cabin was perfect and the view of the bay was awesome. Seals, Eagles and occasional dolphins were most morning. The cabin was well equipped with everything you need for cooking; but other than breakfast we did not take advantage. The mornings were best for sure. Peace and quiet, nice place for my morning bible study and enjoying Gods beauty. Wanda, the property manager was so so great. We had a few issues but she was all over it and was greatly appreciated. We mentioned the porch needed recliners one day and that afternoon there were 2 recliners. Canât say enough. We would definitely consider staying here again. Itâs about 50 minutes from Bar Harbour.
Family Tides is a relaxing cabin in a private setting nestled in the woods. Guests will enjoy sitting on the porch watching the wildlife- seals,Bald eagles, deer and many different birds. The cabin is in a remote setting but a quick drive tothe next town gives access to a grocery store, excellent Mexican restaurant and a seafood market. We enjoyed the proximity to the Schoodic Peninsula, Bar Harbor and Acadia. Wanda the property manager is wonderful to work with. If you are seeking solace from the busy world, you will find it here. Our one suggestion would be to switch out the queen mattress for a king sized bed in the main bedroom.
Amazing house right on the water, very private & the absolute cleanest VRBO that we have ever stayed at. Communication was fantastic.
Could not ask for a better Host or Rental.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful house with us
We had the privilege of staying here for August. The house totally works but come here for the location: right on the water, with eagles and osprey hunting every day, not to mention the occasional seal, and regular deer visits. The area does not have a big tourist infrastructure; for us, that was fine, but you have to make your own fun. Definitely visit the nearby Schoodic Peninsula.
We cannot sing the praises of this property loudly enough! The view is so peaceful, the sounds of the bald eagles was a first for us, the seals sunbathing on the rocks, the cleanliness of the property, the fully-stocked kitchen - all of these things led to one of the most relaxing vacations we have had in a long time. The information about grocery stores and the typical "tourist" information provided by the property manager was so helpful in planning out the activities for the week. Just two things you need to know - make sure you have a pass to get into the parks - the park rangers check for them! - and it is a bit of a drive to get back to places to shop so ask the property manager - she is a wonderful source of information!
Amazingly beautiful, quiet and relaxing coastal Maine gem! The cabin is immaculate and the perfect size. It is modern but still has that nature/cabin feel. Well equipped and stocked with everything you need. Positioned perfectly on the edge of the ocean bay. You rarely hear a sound other than nature and a few lobster fishermenâs boats. So relaxing to sit on the porch to watch sunrises, sunsets, the tide rise and fall, birds and lobster boats. We especially enjoyed watching a pair of seals feed just off bank each evening. Very secluded and private but close to quaint local towns and so many Maine experiences. We hope to return again!!
