The Lookout with Sweeping Views

Sweeping views, 4 min to Acadia NP, 8 minutes to Bar Harbor-Quiet family home. Nestled on 5 acres with a private beach and incredible views of the twinkling lights of Bar Harbor, Frenchman's Bay, and Cadillac Mountain sits The Lookout Point - an oceanfront authentic mid-century family home with tasteful updates. Just 4 minutes to the Hulls Cove entrance of Acadia NP, 8 minutes to Bar Harbor.

Enjoy your morning coffee while watching the bald eagles soar overhead or wave to the lobsterman picking up their daily catch - or an evening glass of wine while the sunset casts its golden hue over Frenchman's Bay and the familiar red sails of the schooner Margaret Todd appear.

You'll realize you're relaxed and in the moment.

This is home is a one of a kind property! The architecture, the views, the beach, the location are all perfect. We had six adults and one toddler (1 year old). The house is large enough for everyone to spread out yet enjoy time in the common areas. Brandi (the host) was very helpful and responsive. We will definitely book this property again!

Facility was great, very well appointed! Close enough to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park for convenience, yet secluded enough to enjoy privacy and really wind down!

We had an amazing stay at the Lookout! The views and private beach were breathtaking. The house was close to downtown Bar Harbor, restaurants and hiking. Great communication from the property manager. We can’t wait to come back!

Lookout Point is a lovely house with amazing views, beach access, and an easy drive into Bar Harbor and Acadia. We enjoyed kayaking in Hulls Cove area and the wildlife - eagles, seals and loons were highlights. The house was clean with amenities well thought out, the kitchen well equipped, communication excellent, and the rental process smooth.

1940s cottage summer home for an affluent family, cliffside. Great views and vibes! Ocean front. We watched Bar Harbors fireworks from the living room. Amazing! Master bed needs replaced, no A/C and there are plenty of bugs. Inside and out!

The house was as advertised, including the view! Glad to have the history of the house to read, as it gave a whole new perspective to the house and it's history. The layout of the house fit out needs perfectly and LOVED the location... Incredible views everywhere in a quiet and secluded area but close to everything! Just as good as the house were the Host/Owners, which is not always the case when using VRBO or other sites.SO GLAD we chose this house for our vacation. If we ever venture back to the Bar Harbor area, it will at the top of our list!
