Car: necessary

There are endless things to do in the area both day and night. Acadia National Park is about a five minute drive from your home, in town Bar Harbor another six minutes beyond that. There are miles of hiking trails that traverse our mountains and circle our lakes. Vehicle free carriage roads are perfect for bicycles. Ranger led nature walks leave daily from the Park Visitor Center. Free public transportation on the Island Explorer bus covers most of the island so you may choose to leave your vehicle in the driveway.

Downtown Bar Harbor has many diverse restaurants. From fresh seafood of all kinds to Thai, Cuban, Mexican, and Italian, you'll be amazed at the variety. We'll also tell you where to get the best lobster. Whale watching and sailing trips leave frequently from the waterfront. There are 2 movie theaters, one serving pizza and beer! And don't forget the shopping. From art galleries to souvenirs, Bar Harbor has it all!

Other Activities: Hiking, kayaking, whale watching, shopping, great restaurants!

Best summer rental we've ever had.

This website is very accurate. We rented for two weeks in July. The house is absolutely beautiful and the setting is amazing. Having our own private island made this one of the most unique vacations ever. We used it for picnics and took out chairs to watch the sunset. This is more of a high end house (recently built) with stainless steel appliances in the kitchen and beautiful wood and tile floors. If you're looking for privacy, this is it. If you're looking for views, this is definately it! The owner lives a few miles away and responded immediately when the dish washer stopped working. The only down side( for some) is that you can't walk to town. You need a car. Highly recommended. Will rent it again in the future.
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Adventure Seekers, Sightseeing, Families with Teenagers, Romantic Getaway
Owner's Response: Although a car is recommended, the Island Explorer bus can be used to get to and from downtown Bar Harbor, or just about anywhere in Acadia or Mount Desert Island. They go right by the end of the driveway (a short walk up the hill) and all you have to do is flag one down. Best of all, the bus is FREE. The bus does not run in the extreme off season. We live about 9 miles from Oceanmist and are always available if anything goes wrong. We're also happy to answer any questions on the area or recommend a restauarant. Just give us a call or send an email.

PERFECTION in a Beautiful Setting

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Sep 27, 2012
  • Stayed: Aug 2012
There is only one way to describe Oceanmist. PERFECT. First of all, the house and decor are really beautiful. Secondly, the private grounds are amazing - far better than any picture can show. Thirdly, the view of the water and islands is as good as it gets. The entire house is fully equipped with everything we needed for a great vacation. Restaurant appliances in the kitchen, rubber boots for exploring the shoreline - they even have waffle weave bathrobes for everyone in the party. We met the owners (Dianna and Bob) and they couldn't be nicer. They assured us we could call them anytime for information on the area, activities, good restaurants, etc. We took them up on it and discovered great restaurants we wouldn't have otherwise found. But I think one of the most important aspects of the house is the warm relaxed feeling. The decor is contemporary Maine Cottage. There is a wood stove (and firewood) in the living room that adds a lot to the atmosphere. We've never stayed at a rental this nice and plan to return next year. And one more thing - It's really great to arrive at an immaculate house and find chocolate on the kitchen table and a bottle of wine a (with local cheese) in the refrigerator. I could go on and on but one last thing - the pillow top mattresses are the most comfortable we've ever slept on! This place is truly the perfect getaway.

Amazing house - highly recommend

My husband and I rented Oceanmist for our 10 year wedding anniversary. We couldn't have been happier with the house! It was very clean, spacious and had an amazing view. It was extremely comfortable and relaxing. The house had a great location to Acadia National Park. It was only a quick drive into the park and we loved the fact that the house and yard was so private. The owners were wonderful to deal with and made the stay very enjoyable. We would highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay while visiting Bar Harbor/Acadia National Park!

The house is just as described, only better. Oceanmist has everything - quiet, views, a convenient yet secluded location, all the comforts of home plus some. The furniture is comfortable and the kitchen well-equipped. It's a great place to relax. Sitting on the deck with a cup of coffee and a book, with binoculars nearby, was heaven.
The owners are responsive and helpful without being intrusive. We followed their recommendations for restaurants, with great results.
We'd stay there again in a heartbeat!

Our Stay At Oceanmist 9/10/11-9/16/11

Our stay at Oceanmist was perfect and feel that it is the best place to stay in Bar Harbor, especially if you are wanting seclusion and privacy and not be too far from town! The house is immaculate with an incredible view! Loved the kitchen and bath! The owners were always available to answer any of our questions. We enjoyed every minute of our stay in MDI. Would recommend the Beehive and Penobscot for hiking, Cafe this Way for dinner, the carriage rides, and the Margaret Todd Windjammer cruise. Of course it is a must to tour all that you can on the island. We recommend the book "Acadia" by James Kaiser.

This property is a 5 star!!!
