Home away from home
My family of 3 stayed at this property with some friends of ours and their children. Kids ranging from 9 month - 6 years. The home was perfect! Very clean and tidy with a nice layout for multiple families. It was well stocked with kitchen necessities and actually went above and beyond in that department by providing sandwich bags, foil, garbage bags, etc. The whole house was stocked the same way with most anything you may need. The location was perfect with beautiful water views and beach access on a nice private lot. We were able to see much marine life at night ( crabs, lobsters, etc). The yard is fenced so that the kids can play safely. Would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway!

Beautiful home!
We enjoyed our stay in Trenton greatly! The home is beautiful, very clean and cozy. The views are amazing! Our family had a fantastic time kayaking from the property and also gazing at the stars and full moon in the evening. We highly recommend this home and hope to return again. Thank you for an amazing week!

Beautiful Waterfront Stay
The house was very spacious and clean, but even better were the views and outside space! Our kids loved the fenced in yard and walking down to the beach, and we enjoyed watching the stars while having s’mores by the fire pit! Everyone had plenty of room to play cards, do puzzles, and sleep comfortably inside, and it was a short drive to anything we wanted to do! Definitely recommend this property!

About the host

Hosted by Daria Duda

Host profile image
Scott & Daria have been visiting the Bar Harbor area for many years and fell in the love with the area. They purchased Western Bay Shores in 2012, and another property a few miles away in 2014. They enjoy time here in the off-seasons as well. Back in Philadelphia, Scott is known for his award-winning beer, and helping new start-up breweries, while Daria works in marketing at a technology company.

Why they chose this property

When Scott & Daria bought Western Bay Shores, the former owners provided a comprehensive 'book' of everything about the house - ending their description with 'It's a special place.' This statement couldn't be more true … you'll find relaxation and enjoyment here at this home - it truly is a special place and we are happy that we can have our guests enjoy this slice of Maine as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

Moon rise over the water - truly awesome, especially during a full moon. And the sunrises can be spectacular.
