Waterfront vacation rentals in Islesboro

Another wonderful stay at the Phoenix Hotel, we always feel like we are hiding away from the world when we stay here not front desk staff it's self check in which is awesome. Rooms are amazing and I love the fact that they leave you 2 cartons of water in the fridge, yes cartons which taste so so much better than plastic and better for the environment. Another plus you can walk out the back door go 10 steps and enjoy a wonderful cocktail with there sister company Barlimans

This apartment was spacious, quiet and comfortable. Perfect for two couples.

Beautiful and cozy place and very responsive and accommodating host. Place is 30 mins drive from bar harbor and Acadia . The river down the house is an additional beauty in its own. The place had everything you need. The care the host took for arranging everything is really appreciated.

I really enjoyed the hospitality room. It was great to arrive and use the room for hot drinks and snacks that were free. It was good to sit down there after our long trip and relax before heading up to our room. I also enjoyed meeting the manager and cleaner. It gave it a personal touch. The location was very convenient because there was an open restaurant next door.

Perfect location for a short visit to see my mom. Apartment was cozy and comfortable, and Blue Hill being nearby for groceries and restaurants was very handy. If you are planning a trip to the area you should check this place out.

We had a great stay here. The apartment was perfectly clean and well appointed. Bob and Laura covered everything; thoughtful snacks, a comprehensive guest book, fully stocked kitchen and they even made umbrellas available. We were super comfortable and it was a great spot to base our Bristol adventures from!

Bohni’s place is exactly what my wife and I were looking for - somewhere out in the woods on the water with a hot tub close to all the amazing little towns we love - Belfast, Camden, Rockland, etc. Bohni was one of the best hosts we’ve ever had. We felt horrible because we got half way home and realized we forgot to take the trash out :( I would highly recommend her adorable home.

Excellent spot and fast response from Grace for a last minute reservation. Clean, and everything needed. Shower was hot, heat great on a cold night after a long day's work.

My group and I had a wonderful stay at Jeanne’s. Depending on where you’re going to Acadia, it’s between 10-30 minutes drive there - it’s also a gorgeous drive. The option to kayak, all the space, the amenities, clear communication - we all just wanted to stay longer! Highly recommend staying here.

Sue's home in Hancock was better than as advertised. We found her home remotely nestled in the woods on tidal flats. In the mornings we saw two deer just outside our door as well as an array of birds including Loons, Hooded Mergansers, Iders, Mallords, Canadian Geese, and of course, a few Seagulls. The house itself was classically decorated with modern touches. The space was clean, cozy and had a plethora of natural light. The kitchen had every utensil that we needed and we found ourselves very comfortable in all the other spaces. Sue was pleasant and easy to communicate with. We would definitely recommend.

The house was exactly what we were looking for: relaxing with great views. The marina with fresh seafood within walking distance was icing on the cake.

We had a great, low key girls weekend at Alanna’s place. The hot tub was great for soaking in, and right off the deck. We brought our snowshoes and enjoyed snowshoeing down to the lake and around the property. The tvs in the living room felt a bit over powering, but we figured out how to put two to sleep so we could just listen to music on the third.

Great place that had everything and even gaming amenities that we wished we could have enjoyed, given enough time. Beautiful location, great beds and so many furnished appliances for the kitchen! Only the master bedroom has a Smart TV, so we wish there was one downstairs, but definitely did not detract from the Airbnb at all. Book it if you want to enjoy the Maine experience, and only less than 1 hr and 30 minutes from Acadia National Park!

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful, spotless property in the perfect location. The river views were breathtaking, and watching the snowfall by the wood fire was magical. The kitchen was one of the best we’ve seen in an Airbnb—fully equipped with everything from a French press to baking sheets. Plenty of towels, linens, and great communication from the owners. One note—some of the artwork wasn’t our style and felt a bit intense, which we didn’t notice much in the listing photos. It’s purely personal preference and didn’t take away from the beauty of the space, but it didn’t create the most relaxing atmosphere for us. That said, the home itself was fantastic. Overall, this place felt like a private retreat with all the amenities nearby. We loved Burano’s Sicilian Pizza and Café Crème in town. Thank you for hosting us.

What an amazing spot! My family and I enjoyed mornings on the dock, watching spectacular sunrises and daily sightings of bald eagles. The walk down to the dock was lined nicely with stone steps and once on the dock it was hard to leave. The three kayaks allowed us to explore the coastline and although the shoreline was rocky, we enjoyed a dip in the cool September waters. The house was perfectly decorated and equipped with everything and anything needed. Lisa was great to work with, quick to answer any questions and accommodating with requests. The beds were extremely comfortable and the view of the sunrise each morning, priceless. The location was perfect, within minutes from a venue where we were attending a wedding and a few restaurants, although we hated to leave the house. I would highly recommend staying at this beautiful home that slept seven of us comfortably. If you're looking for a peaceful spot with stunning views, this place is perfect. We would love to visit again.

This was a really nice house on a beautiful lake. The beds were comfortable and there were enough to accommodate us. It was very clean and easy to enjoy your stay. We really enjoyed our stay.

The photos don't do this place justice. It was spacious and squeaky clean. Beautiful views of the water. For a busy marina it was pretty quiet. During the day there would be people just outside the unit talking but nothing disruptive. Great price for a beautiful place. Only about a 25min drive to Bar Harbor. We would definitely stay here again.

Very nice place, totally renovated, spacious, cozy, and comfortable. It is located in a very beautiful area. We will be back for sure!

BEAUTIFUL landscape directly on a lake with access to fishing poles, kayaks, and canoes, we felt like we didn’t need to leave the property at all. Perfect location to visit Acadia and near by towns. I wish we could have stayed for twice as long. The condo itself seems to be brand new! The beds were comfortable and the decorations and big screen tv were a nice touch. We spent hours on the dock and in the lake (kayaks). Cannot wait to return to this slice of heaven.

nice place

Well-equipped with guidebooks, kitchen implements, extra pillows, bikes, even a lobster steam pot! We lacked for nothing. Loved the photographs throughout the condo showcasing Acadia NP. Especially loved the map on the wall showing what islands we could see from the balcony. Neighbors were quite friendly & gave several good restaurant recommendations. Peaceful & quiet side of the island allowed for restful sleep each night such that I wasn’t tired after our vacation.

Great and convenient, matched description, easy to access and check in and out. Responsive and helpful host.
