À propos de cet hébergement

Briar Rose by the Sea avec la maison d'hôtes Ariel's Grotto et son pavillon séparé

Briar Rose by the Sea est pour les grands groupes! La maison d'hôtes adjacente (la grotte d'Ariel) se trouve à quelques pas de la pelouse. Il y a un pavillon pour les couchettes pour les plus aventureux, tous au bord de la mer et adjacents les uns aux autres. Quelle plage magnifique pour votre famille! Il est à quelques minutes du parc national d'Acadia et de Bar Harbor. La cour immense pour vos activités familiales et le pont qui fait face à l’eau peuvent contenir et asseoir tout le monde dans votre groupe. Si vous avez prévu des vacances en grand groupe, c'est l'endroit. La plage est claire de gros rochers et est une belle plage de galets / sable - une trouvaille difficile sur la côte rocheuse du Maine! Ajoutez à cela une vue sur la montagne et l'océan Atlantique et vous voudrez y retourner chaque année. Nous sommes une propriété sans animal en raison des allergies. C’est la SEULE propriété que vous trouverez pour accueillir de grands groupes avec 2 résidences séparées et une maison avec lits superposés !!! Le tout sur une grande propriété avec plus de 300 pieds de front de plage et une immense pelouse pour les activités familiales ET un immense terrain de jeu à thème Cedar Works Pirate !!!

Il faut que je retourne à la mer encore une fois ...: Vous voudrez revenir année après année dans cet endroit très spécial. Il y a beaucoup de locations à choisir, mais aucune comme celle-ci. Le fait d'accueillir de grands groupes avec de beaux terrains et une plage si proche de l'Acadie et surplombant les montagnes de l'Acadie, combiné à la façade en eau profonde, en font un lieu de vacances unique en son genre et le lieu idéal pour les réunions de famille et les grands groupes!

Assurez-vous d'avoir une façade en eau profonde - pas de marée!: Ceci est la façade en eau profonde. Ne vous laissez pas berner par les maisons «situées sur l'océan» qui ont une façade de marée. La façade de marée signifie que vous n’avez que de la boue (et une odeur nauséabonde!) quand la marée descend et que l'eau disparaît. La vraie façade en eau profonde signifie que vous aurez toujours une eau profonde même lorsque la marée est basse. De nombreuses propriétés répertoriées à Trenton dans le Maine ont une façade de marée - ne vous laissez pas berner par un bon prix!

Plusieurs parcours de golf se trouvent à proximité: le parcours de golf de Bar Harbor se trouve à quelques minutes à peine et, sur la route menant à Bar Harbor, vous trouverez le célèbre parcours de golf de "Kebo Valley".

Il y a un lieu d'été ...: C'est vraiment une propriété exceptionnelle avec une vue imprenable sur l'océan avec en toile de fond les montagnes du parc national Acadia. Si vous souhaitez naviguer ou faire du bateau pendant votre séjour, un amarrage en eau profonde est fourni. Passez vos journées à peigner sur la plage pour trouver des étoiles de mer, des dollars de sable, de jolis coquillages colorés et du verre de mer. La plage est débarrassée de gros rochers (ce que personne n’est plus autorisé à faire), ce qui est difficile à trouver sur la côte rocheuse du Maine. Ajoutez à cela l’odeur de la mer et une brise tiède et vous souhaiterez revenir année après année pour reposer votre âme. Cet endroit est idéal pour nager dans l’océan ou pour se balader dans la mer, ainsi que pour la plongée en apnée ou sous-marine.

Mais préparez-vous à vous asseoir dans votre chaise de plage, les orteils creusés dans le sable chaud, pendant que la brise estivale réchauffe vos préoccupations. Ne soyez pas surpris si vous vous surprenez à sourire tout le temps ... nous saurons pourquoi ...

Maison principale de Briar Rose - 3 BR - 1 roi et 2 reines. Le salon principal a 3 canapés gigognes. Coin salon de la cuisine a 2 canapés gigognes. La maison avec lits superposés sur le pont de cette maison dispose de 2 lits superposés en futon. Le garage avec cette maison a 3 lits superposés de futon si vous souhaitez les utiliser. Nous n'appelons pas ce lieu un espace de vie - à vous de choisir si vous souhaitez l'utiliser. Il a toujours des portes de garage mais il est décoré dans un thème de pirate. La grotte d'Ariel a 2 BR. 1 est une reine et l'autre a 2 lits jumeaux. Il y a 3 futons dans le salon. Le sous-sol est un garage. Il dispose de 2 lits superposés en futon et de plusieurs canapés. Ce n'est pas décrit comme un espace de vie. Vous pouvez l'utiliser mais cela dépend de vous. Rappelez-vous, ceci est mis en place pour notre famille et nous la laissons telle que nous l’avons. Nous n'appelons pas les chambres de garage ni même les chambres à coucher. Voir les photos.

Another great stay

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!

Wonderful stay

This property is in wonderful location with a great lawn for kids and games, a very nice rocky beach on a quiet cove, and great views of Acadia. This is an ideal property for large family groups, as there were tons of bunk spaces for kids in addition to the multiple bedrooms for the adults. It was as described in the listing and the photos. The hosts, Paul and Debbie, were remarkably responsive, usually addressing any questions we had in under an hour. Similarly, the few minor issues we found were addressed right away. We had a great week and would go back!

Beautiful property!!

We stayed at Briar Rose and Ariel’s Grotto for 4 nights. We had 10 adults, 4 teens, 11 and 6 year old. The kids loved staying in the grotto having some space to themselves. The main house was very comfortable and kitchen was well stocked with all we could need. The views were amazing! We felt like we were in a Robert McClosky storybook. We were a short drive from Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. The IGA was 5 minutes away and many lobster pounds close by. The location is perfect!! Debbie responded quickly to any questions we had. We would highly recommend this location for a truly amazing Maine vacation!!!

Awesome

Deborah's two homes are spacious and clean. She has the home well equipped with all bedding and necessary items to care for a home. Walmart, Shaws, HomeDepot, etc., is a quick 10 minutes away, so shopping is easy. 30 minutes aware is Acadia. You are closest to the Hull Cove entrance; Cadillac Mountain, etc. For those who fly, the airport is approx. 10 minutes away. As for the property, Grotto has its own kitchen with 3 futons in the adjoining livingroom, a bedroom with 2 twin beds; and a bedroom with 1 queen; downstairs, you have multiple couches that turn into beds. Awesome for kids. Oh and a deck off the livingroom overseeing the bay. The Ariel is spacious with everything you could possible need. Our deck overlooked the bay as well. We brought our own kayaks and went from one island to the other. There is a small shed that has 2 futons in it, we did not use. And for those who like outdoor fires on the beach, my kids made a firepit with seating out of the materials found on the beach. If I had to say anything con about the rental, the kids were disappointed the Grotto had no wifi, but for my kids, wifi, tv and indoor activities is very limited and they are not there for that. They can come to the main house if they needed access. Otherwise, I would highly recommend this to anyone with a large group. Deborah, we thank you for such a great visit to the Acadia area.

Stayed here with extended family.

The property was perfect. Plenty of room and space for everyone. Kids were able to play in the lawn, playscape and by the water. Communication was fast in regards to answering questions. Short drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Recommend bringing kayaks or paddle boards as there were none available to rent for the house.

Great place near Acadia

The property had spectacular views. It was an easy 20 minute trip into Acadia NP, and yet far enough away to feel secluded. Very quiet and lots of outdoor space and immediate beach access. The check-in, check-out was hassle free. Definitely recommend it.

Amazing property

This is an amazing place. The location right on the ocean was wonderful. We came as a get away to remember my son who died 2 years ago and were looking for a quite place where we could be together as a family. This was exactly what we wanted. The view is amazing looking right over the water and that was so relaxing. I got up every morning and drank my coffee looking at the water and the forested land in the distance. The park is with in easy driving distance which provided daily time to go hike and see the sites. The homes were perfect for our group. We had ample space to sleep and eat. The seating inside is limited but just like a normal family get together for us we had people just spreading to the living room to eat sitting on the couch. Also outside provides plenty of areas to eat in warmer weather. We brought our own kayaks and the beach was perfect for launching them. We couldn’t have wanted anything else in this property and will come back again.

Beware of the occupancy agreement

The house is cleaned by the family and it is evident that it has not had a professional cleaning. At check in we were made aware that we were required to sign a lengthy occupancy agreement. I would never have booked this property if I had seen this agreement in advance. She sent her daughter to pick up the agreement the morning after check in. Clause #1 this licensor retains the right to immediately terminate this contract and remove the licensees or their guests Clause #2 this licensor retains absolute control and unlimited access to this property during the course of this license to occupy. The property is monitored, etc. This contract goes on for 5 pages. It was beyond ridiculous and Vrbo was not aware that it existed. The agreement also demands that all windows be closed if you are leaving for any period of time. The house has no air conditioning. I asked during our stay about leaving a few windows open while we went to the park. I stated that the radar was clear with no rain in the area and she said “Please don’t. You can open it up when you get back. We get really hard rain here mixed with weather like this. An emergency carpenter to fix things will cost you thousands and he will be working during your stay. It’s not worth it and it has happened before. It actually stays pretty cool there.” It was 86 degrees that day. We still got the experience of contractors working during our stay though. They did roof repairs while we there because the neighbor reported “a shingle on the ground.” That was the night BEFORE the remnants of a tropical storm blew by. This owner should not be permitted to use Airbnb or Vrbo and should work through an independent agency that discloses this agreement at the time of the booking. The owners call the home phone daily and communicate with you so that nothing is in writing in the Vrbo platform. It is a home that they should enjoy and not rent. Don’t forget to bring anything because they block amazon from delivering ANYTHING during your stay. I asked to do a walk through during our check out process and her husband refused to give me anything saying that everything was in satisfactory condition. The place looks good in pictures. It needs some TLC. We were told not to drink the water so we used a partially functioning OLD water cooler. The stairs going down to the beach are dangerous. The dishwasher works intermittently. The location is great.

Amazing views

The location right on the water with your own private beach and views of Acadia can’t be beat! The property has a really big backyard too which was great for playing games and fire pit. Trenton is a cute little town, grocery is nearby, lobster shacks, and a great bakery nearby. Takes about 20 minutes to get to Bar Harbor and Acadia. We rented bikes but realized the house location was not best for that, however we did take them to Acadia and rode some of the trails there which was great. The house did not have a/c which we didn’t expect, but it’s Maine and I imagine 11.5 months out of the year you don’t need it! It was just a really hot week when we were there. Overall great week.

Rare find near Acadia NP

For large groups visiting Acadia National Park and surrounding area, this property indeed is a great find. Does it compete with a 5-star hotel? Definitely not. It is 5-star in its own way though. The property has a main house and a guest house about 20 yards apart. It has a large yard, some large deck space, and is next to the ocean. I mean not only you see the ocean from the windows, you can step into the ocean from the backyard. The houses are relatively old, while the bedrooms are comfortable and clean, large groups may need to have some people sleep on the living room sofa beds and/or bunk beds in the garages. Bathrooms are functional, but nothing fancy and water temperature wasn't that stable. For large groups, the bathrooms can also be crowded. Look beyond a few shortcomings though (easier if you have a small group), this property is a haven and can also be a great value. We appreciated the owner stocked the kitchen with very large pots and plenty of dishes and cups. There were many bath towels provided and also many blankets and sleeping bags. There were cleaning supplies and laundry supplies. There are gas BBQ grills and also several picnic tables next to the guest house. We didn't have children, but I'm sure they will be happy staying there too. Of course, getting up in the morning to watch sun rise from the ocean is a treat. The location is very quiet, and about 30 mins away from both bar harbor area and southwest harbor area. It is convenient for the shops in Ellsworth too. The night we arrived, there was a storm and knocked the power out in a large area. The owners warned us and sent us some flash lights and extra heaters. They also sent us a new generator to power the refrigerator and some lights the second day. The power was restored shortly after, but that was a great effort and we thank them for that.

Memorable family reunion

We had 20 people- 3 generations, 15 adults, and 5 children. We sailed, zip lined, swam, attended children's theater, did paddleboard yoga, ate dinner together every night, celebrated birthdays, went to Ellsworth Community Theater. Enough room for everyone, beautiful vistas--all in all a wonderful time for all!

More than enough room for the 20 of us! Incredible views! Great for launching kayaks! Seals!!!

The owners have gone out of their way to make this our home away from home! There were welcoming bouquets of flowers, coffee, a decorated cake, toys for kids, jam and many other quaint and friendly touches. The home has lovely bedrooms which we used for parents and since there were 11 kids (12-23 yrs) they spread out in the garage ( which is really a dorm room with a pirate theme ) with plenty of futon bunk beds, a couch and TV. The down stairs of the other home on the property had numerous futons and hide a beds down stairs also! The upstairs had hide a bed couches and 2 bed rooms. Our group of twenty had way more than enough room! We never did count how many beds didn’t get used! The outside had picnic tables, grills, and at least 9 hammock chairs with the amazing view of Mount Desert Island including Cadillac Mountain! The lawn was spacious so the kids could play Capture the Flag! Our kayaks could be launched right from the beach which we did everyday at least once. We went exploring and looking for seals in the early morning mist. A magical and beautiful time on glassy water. One of our sons saw a baby seal within 4 feet of his kayak. The owners have bottled water dispensers and if you let them know they bring refills. The kitchen and laundry are easy to use. We truly enjoyed the peacefulness of the area, the beauty of the view and the comfort of the home. We took care of it and it took care of us. Thank you Debbie and family for your hospitality!

It's all about the view

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.

Breathtaking Serenity

There are not many places out there in this neck of the woods that will allow a gathering over 16 plus people. The great thing about Briar Rose by the Sea is that it does it in style. Our group had a wonderful time playing on the beach, the provided swing set, and the massive green lawn backyard. The kids loved finding starfish, crabs, shells, and other sea life during low tide. At night we went out quite a few times to see the bioluminescence plankton. Kids loved seeing those light up at night. We had a wonderful time and Briar Rose by the Sea was located in a great location for what we wanted to do. We took a few day trips over to Bar Harbor and Acadia. We also went into town, don't miss PugNuts Ice Cream in Surry Maine (best ever). We ventured inland to see the breathtaking beauty of fall. The location offered us so many places.

Perfect for our Multi Generational Family

For our family group of 17, Briar Rose by the Sea was a fantastic vacation home! We brought kayaks, paddle boards and tubes and used them every day of our 1 week vacation. The water was perfect for swimming too. Some of us paddled with seals which was very fun. The huge deck was perfect for setting up picnic tables and having a family dinner together each night. Having the Grotto and bunkhouse really made our large group comfortable. The property is just a short drive to the beautiful Acadia National Park. Someone from our group was in the park every day....hiking, biking, scrambling on rocks. To top it all off, the weather could not have been better. Sunny and warm with cool ocean breezes. Debbie is the perfect host, answering questions very promptly. If vacationing near the coast of Maine and seeing the beautiful Acadia NP is on your list, check our Briar Rose. It’s very lovely.

Beautiful location near Acadia NP, one drawback

We rented the Briar Rose & Ariel's Grotto properties for a family reunion group of 17. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here! The property is within relatively quick driving distance of Acadia NP/Bar Harbor and was quiet and clean. The large back yard and private beach area was pristine and fantastic. The owners were quick to assist with helping us restart the water heater when it went out once during our stay. We just have one critical comment. Upon arrival, the owners had left a separate rental contract we were also required to sign with some surprisingly strict cleaning rules for a deposit return (essentially, leave it as clean as you found it including scrubbed fridges, ovens, bathrooms). We usually leave rental properties clean and organized but the deep clean tasks are always covered by the owner. One note is that large parties should be mindful that the property has limited bedroom space so we ended up with some kids sleeping on floors, etc. Not a problem for us and beds were as advertised, just consider for your group.

Perfect place for a big family gathering

We couldn't have been happier--10 adults, 9 children. Five bedrooms for the 10 adults. 6 kids slept in a huge space with 3 big futons in the smaller house. Pull-out couches were also available . Huge deck where we had all our meals. Beachfront was ideal--shallow enough for the littlest to play and skim rocks. Worked fine to launch kayaks (rented from a nearby rental place). Kids loved the play structure (swings, slide etc).Twenty minutes to Acadia National Park. Debbie left all kinds of treats in the house for us (huge cake, pancake batter, jam, maple syryp, taffy, etc.) We had a great time!

Spectacular!!!!!

Great place for our family reunion. Everything about the stay was incredible - the lodging, the views, the hiking, the lobster...I could go on and on! The owners were more than accommodating...they even had welcome gifts for our family of twelve-a large cake with Welcome to Maine written on it, along with numerous Maine products. I highly recommend staying at Briar Rose and the Ariel's Grotto. 👍👍👍👍

Lots of space, and nice waterfront

Lots of space that could work just fine for a huge group. Has two grills and nice, newer washer and dryer. Nice location that is convenient enough to everything you want to do, but far enough away from the craziness. Waterfront, yard, and playground was great for the kids. Owners also left lots of new toys, games, and stuff for all of us to use while there. Be sure you look over the contract prior if possible, as there were a few surprises that seemed out of the ordinary for rentals such as an 8am check out time, which was very early for a group of around 15.

A superb accomodation in a gorgeous setting

We had a family reunion here with ages ranging from 16-95. There were ten of us and we had a wonderful time. Everything was as we were led to expect and more. The beach is wonderful and great for shelling and swimming and kayaking. We had everything we needed and more. We would highly recommend this rental. You cannot go wrong. We hope to go back!!
