Vacation rentals with beach access in Islesboro

I love Maine's working waterfront and even though my stay was in the off season there was a wonderful glimpse into our fishing economy and the hard work it takes to keep it happening. The quality of light in the unit was amazing, and viewing the moon across the water was stunning. Easy to access all that the midcoast has to offer within an easy ride, to Rockland and Damariscotta and Boothbay and Wiscasset -- my favorite spots. Beautiful places nearby to hike and explore. Onsite staff people Debbie and Blair were wonderful; when I had an issue with the internet -- it was fixed quickly. Unit was well equipped for a person who loves to cook. Also having a bathtub in a waterfront apartment was a plus since many don't have them. Clean, comfortable, safe-feeling -- all one could want in a Maine coastal vacation. Wish I could have stayed longer but instead I'll just plan to go back again.

Stayed here post honeymoon and I can’t say enough nice things about Pam and her home. From the moment you arrive to the first time you open the door you can tell Pam really put in a lot of thought and love into making this place as amazing as it is. She even left us homemade muffins which were AMAZING. Also, You have a question? There is probably a sticky note close by with an answer on it, if not she is so nice and responsive . The home itself is an absolute GEM. She has a little coop facing her kitchen in the back yard with little duck chicken goat and ponies friends to say hi to. The balcony in the Airbnb overlooks the backyard and it is so carefully put together and clean, you will see the animals just wandering around and grazing. Pam gave us recommendations for places near by and the run down of bar harbor. I would 100% recommend and stay at this place again. Thank you Pam!!!!

As described! Located right behind Farnsworth Museum and walking distance to Main St. Had everything we needed in the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. Rosemary was very prompt in responding to questions. We had total privacy with easy parking. Nice upper deck for breakfast and a sitting area in the yard below. Main bed was super comfy. There’s a daybed in living room. (However, the daybed mattress may not be comfy for an adult.)

Absolutely beautiful place to stay! Would love to come back :)

We had a fantastic stay in Tremont! Nancy's place was spotless and well appointed, with a beautiful view of the water. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware and essentials (coffee, tea, sugar, salt etc), making it easy to cook several meals. The apartment is in a peaceful part of MDI, yet conveniently close to the island's sights and towns. Nancy was responsive and helpful - overall a great stay. Highly recommend!

Dear Julie - We had a fantastic time in Maine, the people were lovely and your place was absolutely perfect! All new, so clean, private bedrooms, a hot shower after a day of hiking at Acadia, et cetera, et cetera. You have every single detail covered from the kitchen to the bathroom. I was in need of nothing and really had to think to provide some constructive feedback, and here it is. A vegetable steamer basket would be a great addition. Haha, that's it. Sooooo glad we stayed in Ellsworth instead of Bar harbor. Don't get me wrong, Bar Harbor is beautiful right by the ocean, but it's a bit too touristy for me, and the inflated restaurant prices are hard to endure. A 25 minute drive from Ellsworth put us at the loop road entrance to Acadia, so simple. We spent Saturday night at The Black Moon Public House whooping it up with locals to live music by the band T.O.M.B. Perfect week, perfect ending. If you read this and need a place to stay, book it. You'll be glad you did.

We enjoyed our stay at Carolyn’s Airbnb. There’s lots to do nearby.

I can’t say enough good things about this place! The location was amazing. Right off Main Street and totally walkable to anything in bar harbor with a parking space! It was on the right side of bar harbor to get to Acadia within 5 minutes. We loved all of the restaurants close by and the access to the park. The place was so comfortable and cozy! Beautifully decorated and warm after cold hikes in the park. We did not hear any noise at all from the hospital which is tiny compared to the hospitals in Virginia. I didn’t even notice it was there. Brianne was so kind and responsive and recommended lots of good hiking and dining options. I can’t wait to come back here again! If I could give this home 6 stars I would and I am usually a picky reviewer! We will definitely be back to the same house if we come back to Bar Harbor, which I hope we do! It’s a great base for exploring Acadia! The kitchen was well stocked and the bedroom was very comfortable. Thanks so much for sharing with us!

The place is at a great location with a short walk to town. The view from the windows are facing the harbor and beautiful. Ana Luisa is a great host to accommodate our schedule in checking in and checking out. She is very friendly and flexible. The pictures are pretty good representation of the place!

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay in Holden, ME! This Airbnb was so nice and clean and pretty close to Acadia National Park. I needed to stay close to work in the park and this spot was the perfect distance away. It was quiet, peaceful, and away from tourist traffic. Also close to gas stations and a grocery store. The hosts were so friendly and nice and we would highly recommend anyone stay here! Thank you Dana + family!

We stayed for eight days and loved it! It surpassed our expectations and the open floor plan allowed our three generation family to spend great time just talking and spending quality time together. We were met with some great snacks when we arrived which came into handy after a long day of traveling from the west coast. We were captivated by the beautiful landscape including amazing eagles plunging into the waters and catching fish. The changing tides meant the landscape and natural activities were always providing a new show to enjoy. We loved everything about this stay and would highly recommend it!

This house is remarkably beautiful and welcoming. The walls of windows welcome sunshine throughout and the private views of the water are unmatched. Artistic details abound in the interior - like Anthro and West Elm had a baby. We vacationed with our toddler and my in-laws and we all had ample space to gather, as well as disperse. Highly recommend! Local recs: The Activity Shop for kayak rental delivery, pizza from Blaze, coffee from Bucklyn, brunch at Humblebee Cafe, sundries from Blue Hill Co-op, blueberry pie from Mount Desserts (on way to Acadia).

We have been staying at Sea Breeze for the last 4 years while my daughter was a student at Maine Maritime Academy. It is like our home away from home. Very well stocked, always clean, and Jane always communicates any special events taking place in town. So many special touches that you immediately feel at home upon check in.

This was my favorite Airbnb experience to date. Hannah and Aja's house was beautiful and welcoming. Their space and design is so thoughtful and we immediately felt right at home. Hannah was incredibly responsive and accommodating when our travel arrangements shifted last minute. Would certainly recommend this home if you are traveling with a toddler as their space is fully equipped for a young child. Our family had the best stay at this home and are eager to return ASAP.

We had a wonderful stay. The house is very beautiful and cozy. There was plenty of space for our party of 11. Our kids loved the garage apartment. There were lots of games toys, and a library of good books. It was a little rainy while we were there, but it didn’t hinder our plans and even so it was nice to relax by the fireplace in this beautiful home. We saw an otter and a beaver in the pond. It’s pretty remote in a good way. Lots to explore along the shore with the changing tides. I also recommend a dip in the ocean, even if it’s 44° in May. Would easily plan to book here again.

We had a wonderful stay! The house was impeccable with an incredible view of the ocean. We had everything we could want. Marsha was a wonderful host and we’re so glad we stayed here!

Great home in a great location. Very spacious and clean and Corey was very responsive. We had 0 problems with there being a restaurant down stairs. Beautiful views of the bay and a near by field where we watched little kittens playing with each other! It was adorable. We slept great and felt right at home!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and didn’t want to leave! Everything about the cabin was well thought out. We loved having a fire and looking at the stars from the dock! Mark and Laurie were fantastic, friendly hosts and made us feel right at home. We would love to come back someday!

What a beautiful location and house. There’s nothing better than sitting in the living room or front porch and being able to see the Belfast Bay. The house is very clean and neat. Beds are comfortable, shower is very hot. Don’t miss the sunrise in the mornings. Overall this is one of our favorite places we have stayed in Belfast.

Patrick's place was exactly as described. We'll appointed. It was in a private and serene location. Views of the ocean from the deck and windows facing the ocean were spectacular! Patrick was extremely responsive from booking through departure. Would definitely recommend this location to anyone not wanting the hustle and bustle of the Bar Harbor area. Utterly enjoyed our stay💖✨️
