About this house rental
With 1000 feet of shoreline, Blue Arches is a beautiful contemporary 4 bedroom 2264 sq ft home on a private cove with spectacular views. This 18 acre oceanfront property is a private sanctuary for those who love coastal Maine. Imagine how nice it will be to have one of the loveliest homes in the desirable Oceanville section of Stonington all to yourself. Blue Arches has a great many decorative touches throughout the home including hardwood flooring, tasteful furnishings and a lovely brick fireplace. The landscaped grounds and gardens are filled with flowers for cutting and enjoying.
Blue Arches is a 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath home. The attractive first floor is filled with light and all rooms have beautiful views of either the water or surrounding gardens. The main floor includes a spacious, well-equipped kitchen to satisfy even the best cook, a glassed-in, formal dining area. The office/den offers a desk with a stunning view that can double as a quiet reading nook or TV room. This well-laid out home has an inviting, stylish living room with plenty of seating for family gatherings.
Blue Arches has three first floor bedrooms with a full bath, half bath and laundry room.
The entire second floor of Blue Arches houses the master suite with king bed, ocean views, tall ceilings and warm woodwork. A large closet and a master bathroom with bidet and jacuzzi complete the suite.
The exterior of Blue Arches provides many great features including a wrap-around deck which connects to a screened-in porch as well as a covered section of porch where you can spend an afternoon reading and admiring the movement of the tides, blue herons and other birds that live in this pretty cove - sometimes we even have a seal come for a visit!
We have CABLE TV as well as HIGH SPEED INTERNET for live-streaming movies, and multiple people online at the same time.
ENJOY YOUR MUSIC or radio throughout the house. The house is wired for sound so that you can easily play music throughout the house from a smart phone, iPad, computer or iPod. Just plug in and play - you can play sound in certain rooms and not in others according to your choice.
The yard is protected by woods that are perfect for a walk or a wander. The lawn is big and open providing the perfect place for yard games (bocce ball, badmitten, horseshoes, volleyball - equipment supplied) or simply sitting and basking in the quiet beauty of this idyllic setting while watching the hummingbirds dance around the flower beds. An enchanting variety of perennial and annual flowers all around the grounds provide lovely scents and bouquets for you to enjoy.
Blue Arches has the perfect spot to launch your kayaks, and for the more adventurous, afternoon swims are a refreshing treat. There are great hikes on the island!
If you're looking for a spacious and well-kept vacation rental that feels like an island sanctuary for your friends or family retreat on the beautiful Maine coastline, this home will be the perfect fit for you and your loved ones!
Downtown Stonington Village is just two miles away. It's a lovely, picture perfect working fishing with a charming Main Street dotted with shops and restaurants that makes you feel like you have stepped into a Norman Rockwell painting. Architectural Digest Magazine named Stonington the "Prettiest Town in Maine."
Acadia and Bar Harbor are close by for fun day trips - whale watches and more!

My wife and I were looking for a quiet, out of the way location for our first visit to Maine. Blue Arches caught my wife’s attention with the photos and description of the property that were posted on Vrbo. It didn’t take us long to decide to book Blue Arches, and we’re so glad that we did! The photos of Blue Arches don’t lie. The place is as beautiful and as welcoming as it looks in the photos.We live in the mid-west now, but we have lived in coastal Massachusetts prior to our move to the Kansas City area, so I believe we have a pretty good idea of what an authentic, New England experience is all about. A stay at Blue Arches checks all the boxes. We have also rented homes in coastal Florida and Virginia, and I can honestly say that Blue Arches ranks at the top of the list for comfort, location, and hospitality.The host, Mike Hadley, is a pleasure to deal with. I believe a host has a great effect on a guest’s experience, and Mike made our stay at Blue Arches an unforgettable one! Mike’s check in instructions were clear and complete, making our arrival a totally stress-free process. He also provided us with information related to local attractions, stores and restaurants, which we greatly appreciated. Mike knows the Deer Isle area and Stonington very well, and he freely shares his knowledge with his guests.Blue Arches blends into the beautiful natural surroundings that include 18 acres of woodland, shoreline and ocean exceptionally well. A truly memorable experience!

We enjoyed a very nice stay with our family. We loved watching the tides move in and out. We especially appreciated the many windows and skylights which allowed us to see stars, sunrises, and the beauty of God's creation all around us-even while we were inside. We enjoyed exploring the area of Stonongton and Deer Isle. We spent one day in Acadia but all agreed that the trails closer to the house and shoreline just outside the door were just as pretty and more enjoyable because of the seclusion of the place. The space and layout of the house worked perfectly for our group of six. We had plenty of space. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

My family (7 people) had a fantastic week together at this beautiful property to celebrate a milestone birthday. The house had plenty of space for all of us, was lovely inside and out, and had everything we needed to cook nice dinners, to enjoy some outdoor games, and to relax together. The porch on the inlet cannot be beat, and the views are maginificient. We didn't try to swim in the tidal inlet, which seemed a bit daunting, but the location is near a beach, hiking, the town, a good store, and everything we needed. Dan was a great host, available quickly by VRBO for any questions that arose, and he communicated with insider tips about the Island and the area. Very highly recommend this place!
