About this house rental

Briar Rose by the Sea cottage has 3 bedrooms plus 5 sleeper sofas plus bunk house with two futon bunkbeds plus converted garage called the pirate room with 4 futon bunkbeds PLUS adjacent house that has 2 bedrooms/kitchen 2 futons/1 sleeper sofa in upstairs level PLUS another living area on first floor with kitchen, bath 1 br plus additional sleeping in living area with futon bunkbeds and queen sleeper. This is for LARGER GROUPS wanting to vacation together but with privacy - all overlooking the mountains of Acadia National Park across Western Bay in Trenton. Huge yard for your family activities and the water facing deck can hold and seat everyone in your party. If you have a large group vacation planned, this is the place. The beach area is clear of large rocks and is a beautiful pebble/sand beach-- a hard find on the rocky coast of Maine! Couple this with the mountain views and the Atlantic ocean and you will want to return here every year. . This is the ONLY property you will find to accommodate large groups with 2 separate residences and a bunk house!!! All on one large property with over 300 FT of BEACH FRONTAGE and a HUGE lawn for family activities AND a HUGE Cedar Works Pirate themed playground!!!

YOU CAN ALSO RENT EITHER HOUSE ALONE FOR SMALLER GROUPS ask!


I Must Go Back to the Sea Again...: You will want to return year after year to this very special spot. There are a lot of rentals to choose from, but none like this. Accommodating large groups with beautiful grounds and beach so close to Acadia and overlooking the mountains of Acadia combined with the deep water frontage make this a one of a kind vacation spot and THE PLACE for Family reunions and large groups!

Make Sure you have Deep Water frontage--Not Tidal!: This is deep water frontage. Don't be fooled by houses 'located on the ocean' that have tidal frontage. Tidal frontage means you have nothing but mud (and a foul smell!) when the tide goes out and the water disappears. True deep water frontage means you will still have deep water even when the tide is out. Many properties listed in Trenton Maine have tidal frontage--don't be fooled by a good price!

Several Golf Courses are nearby: Bar Harbor Golf course is just minutes away and down the road to Bar Harbor you will find the famed 'Kebo Valley' golf course.

There's a Summer Place...: This is truly an exceptional property with a breathtaking view of the ocean with the backdrop of the mountains of Acadia National Park. A deep water mooring is provided should you wish to sail or boat during your stay here. Spend your days combing the beach for starfish, sand dollars and pretty colored shells and sea glass. The beach is cleared of large rocks (something no one is allowed to do anymore) which is a hard find on the rocky coast of Maine. Couple this with the smell of the sea and a warm summer breeze and you will want to return year after year to rest your soul. This spot is great for ocean swimming or wading as well as for snorkeling or scuba diving.

But be prepared to just sit back in your beach chair with your toes dug into the warm sand while the warm summer breeze caresses your cares away. Don't be surprised if you catch yourself smiling all the time...we'll know why...

This was our second summer visiting this property, and we had a great time again! We think it has an ideal layout for families with kids- a huge lawn, a practically private beach, a big bunk room for the kids, enough bedrooms for up to 5 couples/10 adults, very close to Bar Harbor and Acadia, and beautiful views. The houses were accurately described in the listing, were clean upon our arrival, and the owners were very courteous and responsive. Thank you Debbie and Paul!

6.0 / 10.0Average·Jul 2019
This property was not what we had expected based on the VRBO listing. The owners said that VRBO had changed the description and info without their knowledge, so I thought I'd leave a detailed comment so future renters know what exactly is included. The property is two homes with 5 bedrooms total. The listing when we rented said 6 bedrooms in two homes, plus a bunkhouse. There are three bedrooms in the main house (Briar Rose) and two in the guest house (Ariel's Grotto). There is a tool shed in the backyard (Bunkhouse) that has two futons. Briar Rose has two full bathrooms upstairs with showers. The downstairs bathroom has a shower that I think is wheelchair accessible, meaning it had no shower curtain and was open to the rest of the bathroom. The main house first floor has a kitchen, dining room and two living rooms with couches. The guest house had a full bathroom upstairs as well as a kitchen and living room area with three futons. The lower level has several sofabed couches. Pros: The view is amazing. It is a 5 star view Huge backyard with playset and lots of picnic tables and nice outdoor grills Proximity to Bar Harbor and Acadia was very nice Accommodates a large group Has two houses for privacy if wanted Well stocked with pots and pans - even a crockpot is provided Includes toaster, coffee pot and blender Plenty of nice bath towels, washcloths and hand towels are provided Both houses have views and nice decks Cons: No sheets provided for any of the futons or sofa beds (just blankets and sleeping bags) Some dirty pans and a broken glass were found in the cupboard One of the back sliding doors did not lock Briar Rose has one dining table with 6 chairs - one was broken The bunkhouse is a tool shed with plywood floor, two futons and a fan. There is electric and two little windows, but it was not what I would consider a true bedroom. Things to note: Contract requires you to remove all paper and food products at the end of your stay. In other rentals, we've been able to leave and use items from previous renters. So prepare to bring napkins, extra toilet paper, and any salt/pepper, spice, oil, etc. that you may want. If you have a paddle board or kayak, you would love this property as it has a great beach for those activities.
