About this property

Relax and Enjoy Sweeping Views of the Mountains and Bay

Enjoy beautiful views of the mountains of Acadia National Park across the bay right from your living room or deck. Take a five-minute walk on a scenic path through an open meadow of wildflowers and blueberries (in season) to our private beach. Try some kayaking or simply enjoy a day of collecting shells, sunbathing or swimming.

The comfortable 2BR 2BA apartment is private with its own outside entrances and deck. The main floor has a kitchen, living room, master bedroom & bath, and a deck with retractable awning and comfortable deck furniture. The second bedroom and bath, as well as the laundry room, are on the lower garden level, which is sunny and bright with large windows. The layout is ideal for two couples travelling together, or for a family desiring a little extra space.

Located on Newbury Neck, one of Maine's most beautiful peninsulas, this is an excellent place to enjoy the best of Maine. Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor are just 35 miles (45 minutes) away - close enough for an easy day trip for sightseeing and shopping - but far enough away to escape the crowds and cruise ships at the end of the day. We are 12 miles from the village of Blue Hill, known for its excellent restaurants, art galleries, summer concerts and a beautiful hiking trail to the top of Blue Hill Mountain.

We have more than 1000 feet of private beach on the property and are within walking distance (1.5 miles) of the public beach and Perry's Lobster Shack where in the summer one can sit outside on the dock and enjoy a traditional Maine lobster dinner.

Beautiful view!
Very clean apartment. The hostess was super friendly and helpful. She gave us space and left clear instructions on how to use the TV, the washer and dryer as well as the dishwasher. Easy walk to a private beach with beach toys, beach chairs, life jackets and kayaks. 30 minute drive to Acadia National Park Excellent place to stay! ♥️🥰

Perfection in Surry
Ginny has provided everything needed at this beautiful home. It was thoroughly cleaned and in excellent condition. The kitchen was well stocked, bathrooms had plenty of clean, fluffy towels, and gear for outdoor adventures were provided. The location was stunning, we saw deer every evening at dusk. If you want a peaceful location with incredible sunrises, this is the place.

Absolutely perfect
This apartment was perfect for our stay. Ginny was an amazing host and has absolutely everything prepared for her guests. She has anticipated everything that you could possibly need during your stay. The private beach was beautiful, we were able to have campfires a few nights and it is so peaceful. We also enjoyed kayaking with the provided kayaks and life jackets. There is a complete guide book that will offer ideas for local attractions as well as other needed info. The apartment is very weel kept, the views from the porch and beach are wonderful, beds and furniture are very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with nice quality pots, pans, dishes, bowls, everything you need to prepare your meals. We highly recommend this rental and plan to return next year.

A great first visit to Maine.
This was one of the best experiences with a vacation rental my family has had. The hosts were amazing, very helpful and very welcoming. The apartment was spotless upon arrival and the property was beautiful. We couldn't have been happier with it.

About the host

Hosted by Ginny

Host profile image
We are quiet, retired professors who enjoy sailing, skiing, travelling and reading. We have travelled much of the world, but we love Maine and would not want to live anywhere else.

Why they chose this property

My parents bought the property in 1952. My father was an Air Force Officer so we lived all over the United States, but every summer we came to Maine. As children we loved our summers in Maine, and as adults we grew to love the other seasons as well (especially fall and winter!) My husband and I built our retirement home on the property in 2002 and added the apartment for family and friends in 2004. We began renting the apartment to the public in 2015 and have truly enjoyed sharing this beautiful place with guests from all over the world.

What makes this property unique

It is unusual on the east coast of the US to see mountains right next to the ocean, but Acadia National Park offers this unique scenery, and we have a wonderful view of this from our front porch. We love the quiet pace of Newbury Neck -- biking on the road, walking on our wooded trails, enjoying the beach, and simply soaking in the amazing views.
