Important to note: Google Maps / GPS coordinates are wrong and send people to 12 Hopes Drive instead of 12 Clamshell Road which is about 300 feet past Hopes Drive on Route 186. We don't want to annoy a good neighbor by mistakenly driving down a private drive.

Summary: Clamshell by the Sea was a fabulous place for our group of 12 adults to stay. We found this large home to be very accommodating, with 6 bedrooms and 6 full bathrooms, kitchens on each of its three floors and decks overlooking the water that were the perfect place for enjoying the beautiful scenery, we couldn’t ask for anything better. The home was very clean and the location was perfect for exploring everything the bold coast of Maine had to offer. The home was close to the Winter Harbor Ferry to Bar Harbor which we enjoyed very much. You are also very close to the Schoodic Peninsula portion of Acadia National Park. The views from Schoodic are amazing! We were truly blessed to spend time with our friends in such a beautiful home. We left filled with memories of the good times we enjoyed together. We would highly recommend this home to anyone or group staying in Downeast Maine.

Summary: The location of this property is stunning. Excellent Views from the decks and back yard. Fire pit was a hit. House has lots of room for an extended family reunion. We enjoyed Schoodic peninsula - exploring and hiking. Rangers were very kind to our grandkids, who achieved Jr. Ranger status. Both ferry to Bar Harbor and driving are easy and enjoyable. All questions were handled quickly by the Maine Rental team. They were very responsive. Overall a great family vacation!

Summary: This is our second time coming to the same house in Maine. The property is stunning, spacious and has everything one would ever need. The location is perfect for both just staying in the house or exploring the surroundings. This time we had 16 people in our group and the house did not seem crowded. It has so much room, truly amazing. One feedback to the management would be to invest into new linens, towels, and pillows as they are too old and stained from all the usage over the years.

Summary: We had a mixed group of 12; ages ranged from 13 - 71; including 4 teenage boys. This property is beautiful inside and out; more so than the online description and pictures. The location was great; closest to the Schoodic Peninsula portion of Acadia National Park. We enjoyed hiking, biking, golf, kayaking, great photography opportunities, sea glass hunting on the shoreline, relaxing by the outside firepit, ping pong and varied indoor games, investigating some of the small towns closes to us, as well as Bar Harbor and great food! We would recommend this property to anyone with a large group who would like some private space combined with great "community gathering" space. We had the privilege of some text communication with the owners who requested that the cleaning staff provide a welcoming glass of wine as well as helpful local information about grocery stores, restaurants , etc. Our only regret was not staying longer!

Summary: Our family of 8 (3 households from 2 states, ranging in age from 9 to 71) spent the first week of August at Clamshell by the Sea. This was an excellent choice! I would highly recommend this house to friends and family who are looking for a similar place, and would happily return in a heartbeat! What we loved: Spacious, clean house with a phenomenal view. Quiet location. Privacy. Well equipped main kitchen, plus 2 smaller kitchens on the other levels. On the water. Kayaks and life jackets included. Very close to the Schoodic Peninsula part of Acadia National Park. Owner was quick to respond and helped to solve the problem when the internet had a small glitch. He is personable and has a great sense of humor. We knew going into the week that we would be staying about 45 minutes to an hour from Bar Harbor and the main section of the national park. This worked well for us! We liked having the option relax, take in the views, and hike the peaceful trails close to Clamshell, or go to the crowded, touristy town across the bay and see the sights there. Having stayed in quite a few vacation rentals, and this one tops our list!

Summary: Great rocky shoreline provided unlimited fun for all the kids. The view of the bay with lobster boats, buoys and the occasional cruise ship in the distance was ever changing with the daylight, tides and occasional fog. Kayaks and ping pong tables were a hit, as well as the hammock. We roasted s’mores a few nights in the fire pit as we watched the beautiful sunsets. It’s a bit of a drive to get to the Acadia areas on Mt Desert Island, but very doable. It is very close to the Schoodic side of the park, which we found to have some beautiful hikes. Lobster can be bought locally only a couple miles away. Grocery stores provide very limited supplies, but the house was pretty well stocked with a variety of seasonings and spices, as well as other non perishable food items that have left by others. A few things needed a bit if handyman attention, but no big deal. All in all, our group of 18 had a super time!

Summary: The property is beautiful and very accommodating for a large family or group. Our only complaint is with the furniture in the house which is all very, very dated. We could not find one chair, couch or sofa that was comfortable. When you sat in any of these, you sank almost to the floor and very difficult to get out of. We have some drone footage and pictures which we can share if you'd like them. Overall, it was a spectacular stay and would do it again.
