Lease available Oct 1 or later, and stay through as late as June 30. Minimum 5 months and up to 9 months. $2,495 including some utilities Oct 1-May 31, then June 1 - June 30 at a rate of $195/day with all utilities included.
Ideal location right between Ellsworth and Blue Hill, easy commute to Acadia too! This spacious, woodsy retreat with ocean access is ideal for a family with home office needs. Internet is 300mbps (can be raised to 1gig). Lots of room for kids, and pets are fine. Triple heating systems: wood stove, propane and electric baseboards.
One king master BR, 500sf with private balcony and toddler bed, 1 queen and 1 full BRs, kids' bunk room with 4x twin-size bunk beds and a full size bed.
We are limiting occupancy to single families/couples of up to three adults, up to four kids and up to two pets.
Open floor plan living/dining/kitchen/tv nook 1000sf has great flow. This 2,400sf house has private beach access down the lane overlooking Acadia/Mt. Desert Island, next town over from Blue Hill arts and food scene (7mi), and the other direction to the town of Ellsworth's shopping (5mi). Beach located just a short 300' walk down the private camp lane (the house is located on a little peninsula with about 15 others, providing an idyllic little enclave on Contention Cove, no public traffic). We have found it works very well to have a couple offices set up. Nice fire pit too!
Flexible 5-9 month rental October-June, Tenant responsible for cable/phone if desired, electricity, propane, 300gb internet are billed to tenant against security deposit, and wood usage is up to the tenant to arrange (we have a good local supplier to refer). All snow plowing and any wood left over from the summer is included in the rental price.
IMPORTANT NOTE: First month rent as well as $700/mo security deposit x number of lease months up to 7 due at lease signing (e.g. $3,500 security deposit for 5mo, etc.) wherein the security deposit will likely cover all non-included utilities throughout as well as a modest damage deposit/refund. The balance of all rent for the total period of the lease due before occupancy. Families/couples only, no roommate situations. These are pretty firm terms, though exceptional credit and high income ratio may allow for some negotiation on full rental payment upfront.
