Waterfront holiday rentals in Calais

I enjoyed a recent 2 night stay at Naomi’s place, and there was much to love about it! While it was definitely a hike to and from Bar Harbor, returning back to the privacy & peacefulness of this property in the evening made it absolutely worth while. Above all we greatly appreciated how clean the unit was upon arrival. The beautiful sunset views and access to kayaks to enjoy the pond were a major plus. The accommodations were exactly what we were looking for, and we’d definitely stay with Naomi again next time we visit the area!

This place is wonderful! The highlight is definitely the kayaking—we saw seals when we were out on the bay one day!!!—but the place was well stocked, convenient for hiking, cooking, and hanging out. Plus they have an adorable dog named yoda who you can pet if you’d like!

Melissa was a wonderful host. Her place is clean and well stocked with useful and thoughtful items. Melissa was very helpful with local recommendations and reached out to help us troubleshoot dinner options when the power in town went out. Would definitely stay here again. Five stars all around!

Joann's, place is one of the best places on the island, clean, quiet and peaceful, we'll put together she put a lot thought in Making you feel comfortable. Lots of instructions and go beyond leaving little things in the unit given that there's not a lot ooptions on the island...LOVE THE SPOT.

Excellent stay! We were visiting family in the area and Laura's place was perfect. Lovely setting right on the water. The apartment is clean and fresh, The design is warm but minimalist and quite spacious. It was easy to prep our breakfasts in the mornings and we found some amazing hiking trails about 6 minutes away. Highly recommend!

Lovely place, even in the fog. Nicely appointed.

Loved this cozy gem❤️ warm and cozy with a movie screen. Had my kids names as well as the dogs name which they were excited about. Very responsive to questions. Super dog friendly...had bowls set out for the dog with a bone in his dish😁 fenced in yard to run around as well as a private beach which my son loved finding treasures on. Shower was lovely, beds comfortable. Instructions on how to work everything were there as well. Great experience, we will be booking again

This was our (my daughter and I) first trip to Maine. This was a VERY clean and nice place. It was stocked with games and clothing detergent, dishes and pots and other things to make the stay even more pleasant. It was centrally located where walking to restaurants, shopping, etc. was very doable, not to mention beautiful. You can see the water from the balcony and the trees outside the balcony were gorgeous! Patrick was always ready with perfectly timed updates and information when we needed it. Would love to visit again!

We enjoyed our stay at Ashleys's home. It is a beautiful, peaceful and lovely location, with great proximity to Acadia National Park, Winter Harbor and the Schoodic Institute. Our family enjoyed watching the lobster boats in the morning and noodling around the peninsula. It was a very comfortable space, with a well stocked kitchen and dining area.

When me and my crew work out of town it’s always hard to find a place we like that feels like home for the weeks we are working. And at Collin’s house it was the perfect place to come to after a longs day work. Very spacious and roomy

What a beautiful place to stay! Denise welcomed us, and took us on a tour of the house. Her house is equipped with everything you need, it was awesome. the home was clean and very comfortable. The nature cant be beat! The sky at night is of course incredible, as is the beach right across the road. Beautiful stones, a rockhound would have a ball. I cannot wait to go back!

This was a beautiful place to enjoy a relaxing and tranquil vacation. Elizabeth was very attentive and helpful when there were questions and answered promptly. There was lots to do in the area with beautiful surroundings.

We loved the beautiful views from almost every window! The house was roomy and clean and worked well for 6. The yard was large, but had goose droppings on it. There was a beautiful town beach called Sandy River Beach a 5 minute drive down the road! And Robert had sand toys and chairs at the house. The property has a practically private beach down a stair/walkway and I loved going to it, but it had sea worn glass on it, so not so good for swimming. My kids still jumped in during high tide. (The glass is mostly at the low tide level.)

We are 4 couples - 8 adults - who vacation at a different lake in Maine each summer. This home was absolutely perfect and comfortable for us all. Easy water access for boating is right there. The yard was great for our cornhole games. We had everything we needed for cooking and enjoying great meals together. Our hosts were the best, available to us if needed, and providing local info that made our stay memorable.

Truly a spotless & comfortable "Home Away from Home" in a serene setting. The listing didn't do this charming home justice. Very comfortable beds, great shower, and picture perfect Mainesetting. Perfect escape from beautiful but busy Bar Harbor. Host was very responsive and the home is well equipped. Recommend J.M. Gerrish in nearby Winter Harbor for breakfast. Would stay again!

We loved our stay at the House of Dreams; it was cozy and comfortable, with a gorgeous view of the cove. Jason and Aimee left us some thoughtful treats, and the home was beautifully decorated. It was fun perusing the library including great info on the local flora and fauna. The beach was only a few steps away and it was so restful to hear the ocean and hunt for treasures on the beach. We would definitely love to return!
