Fox Run Ocean Cottage

Within 25 minutes of one of the most beautiful national parks in the country lies Fox Run Cottage. Unique in its design, it allows guests to spread out and have their own individual space while enjoying a week away along a stretch of Maine coast that hasn’t changed in decades.

One of the few properties in the area with an expansive lawn, you’ll be spending your time a few steps away from your own private sand and pea gravel beach. Whether your plans include exploring the park every day or relaxing at the cottage, this property affords all the comforts of home with the accessibility to one of the premier vacation areas in New England.

This beautiful 3bedroom 3 bathroom home was recently renovated with lots of thoughtful updates to make it comfortable for a week on the shore. With its relaxed, coastal vibe and sweeping ocean views, we hope you will find it relaxing and inviting. Off a large entry hallway on the first floor, a queen-sized suite with a large living room and adjacent bath looks out over the patio and down to the beach.

The second floor features a large, open concept living space. A sizable living room gives expansive views of the bay, and a fully - equipped kitchen opens to a large dining area. The living and dining spaces open into a queen bedroom and bath on one end, and a king suite with walk-in closet and bath on the other. There is also a dedicated separate laundry space with full-sized stackable washer and dryer.

Bring your paddle board, kayak, and snorkel, as your direct beach access allows you to launch right into the calm waters of the bay. Watch the seals, osprey, and eagles from the seating areas on the patio, from the living room couches and balcony, or while lying in bed. The property faces southwest, and sunsets are equally beautiful from almost every room in the house.

Walk the beach, explore the park, dine at a local lobster pounds or in one of Bar Harbor’s many excellent restaurants, or simply relax on the patio in front of a bonfire and watch the stars. We hope you enjoy our little slice of heaven as much as we do.

Great Beach Cottage
Spacious, comfortable, and clean cottage right on the beach. Really good location, easy trip to Bar Harbor or Acadia and plenty of places to eat and shop for food in nearby Elllsworth. Hosts are very responsive and have a lot of great tips. Once of the best homes we have rented.

Picture perfect sunsets
The house is clean, well stocked, and very comfortable, and steps away from the beach where we enjoyed kayaking and collecting sea glass. We made use of the fire pit in the evenings to roast marshmallows and sweet potatoes. But our favorite part of the stay was the spectacular sunsets each evening, bidding us good night. Thanks for a lovely week on Union River Bay.

Excellent Location and Setup
This is our second time staying here, the property is well located near MDI / Acadia. The huge yard is great for kids with the beach just a few steps beyond the grass, the fire pit and patio area are fantastic for dinner outside and smores or just watching the spectacular sunset. The home has plenty of space, is well maintained and has everything you need. We will certainly be back.

Wonderful family vacation
My husband, three children and I had a relaxing week-long stay at this wonderful cottage! This was a perfect set up for our young children with three bedrooms and a pull out couch. We enjoyed the view with a glass of wine or coffee while the boys loved climbing on the rocks, exploring the beach at various tide levels and collecting sea glass and sticks that washed up on the beach. The beach is very private, the house is well appointed and in a great location for accessing Mount Desert Island/Bar Harbor and Ellsworth - which had several great restaurant and grocery options when you don't want to deal with the traffic and crowds of MDI! Jo was great to communicate with and provided many recommendations on everything from restaurants to equipment rental. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to friend's who wanted to explore beautiful Maine!

Great location and plenty of space
House was nice and clean. Comfy beds and well stocked kitchen. Property manager gave us great recommendations for restaurants and kayaks, which we loved. Beautiful beach location that was so peaceful and only 15-20 minutes to Acadia. Close but not so close you have to battle the crowds and traffic. Great get away location.

Fantastic!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The home was an easy drive to all parts of Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park. It was lovely to return in the evening to the quiet and tremendous view. The home was well appointed with necessities and even extras, and we were able to easily prepare meals. We appreciated the homeowner sharing recommendations for area restaurants and stores so we could plan accordingly. We would highly recommend this property to anyone considering a stay in the area!

Wonderful Maine Escape
We loved everything about this stay! The house had everything we could possibly need and the views were amazing. It wasn’t too far from Acadia. Their lawn and beach was perfect! My kids loved playing yard games and looking for shells and sea glass on the beach. The hosts were super helpful and even left us a s’more kit that my 3 kids loved. I will definitely stay here again next time we come to Acadia.

If your looking to stay in the bar harbor area this is an amazing place to be. It’s a short drive to bar harbor/Acadia national park, but far enough out that your not in the busyness of everything. The house is beautiful and is such a nice private spot on the beach! Thanks for such a pleasant week!

Amazing Location and Experience
Jo's house was the perfect place for some best friends since high school to celebrate their 60th birthdays and over 45 years of friendship. We picked the perfect week for fall foliage colors and the most amazing sunsets at the property over Union River. We took full advantage of walks on the beach, the fire pit, and the kitchen as we enjoy cooking. We also explored the area, hiked in Acadia National Park, and enjoyed the scenery. The house is conveniently located away from the congestion around Bar Harbor, but easily accessible to Acadia and other sites. I highly recommend this property.

Great Spot for our Family Trip
This was the perfect spot for our trip to Maine. The location is out of the tourist fray but with easy access to everywhere we wanted to go (Acadia, Bar Harbor, Southwest Harbor, Schoodic Peninsula). Jo and Linda provided great recommendations for everything we needed and welcomed us like old friends. Staying in a house on the water was something we always wanted to do and it beat all our expectations. The house was comfortable, clean, and full of amenities. Make sure you look for starfish at low tide, enjoy the sunsets, and have your morning coffee on the deck or patio.

Incredible Waterfront Stay
Our family of 6 really enjoyed our stay there as our home base for our visit to Acadia. The hosts did an excellent job with communication and the house was exactly what was pictured. Any questions we had were answered in a very timely manner and they even had some things set up for our kids. If you are looking for a place to stay with awesome views and great hosts, you can’t go wrong staying here.

You will remember the sunset views and waking up to a view of the bay for years to come after staying at this home. The property well appointed and easily accommodates three couples and children. The property is also very well located with easy access to all of the things that you would visit this part of Maine to enjoy; Acadia Park, shoreline villages and everything in between.

Simply wonderful
We all loved this property! The house, yard, and beach are are spacious, secluded, and quiet. We spent hours on the beach and by the bonfire. The house was perfect for our needs- our little family stayed on the main floor and upstairs, and my brother and his wife had their own sitting area and bedroom downstairs to escape our chaos. It was great! The kitchen was outfitted with nice pots, pans and all the plates and things you could need. A couple things to note that really weren’t a huge deal for us- there is no air conditioning all the way upstairs. At night, it’s fine with the ocean breezes through open windows, but it was stifling during the day. The WiFi was not overly reliable much to my husband’s displeasure.

Beautiful home base for a week exploring Acadia
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay—the view is amazing and visible from almost every room in the house. The house itself was well maintained, clean and spacious for our family of 5. The kitchen was well-appointed with plenty of cooking utensils and even lobster pots. Jo, the property manager, provided lots of helpful recommendations and was very responsive when questions came up. We were even greeted with a s’mores welcome pack and firewood for the campfire. After mornings hiking in Acadia, this was the perfect place to relax and enjoy beautiful sunsets. Thank you!

Marvelous spot in Maine
This is a clean, spacious home on a beautiful piece of beachfront property. The location is perfect for spending several days in Acadia and Bar Harbor. Our multi-generational family enjoyed the layout of the house, which provides privacy while simultaneously offering large, comfortable gathering places -- with water views from every room. The gorgeous outdoor space is a peaceful and beautiful setting for eating and hanging out by the shore. We saw seals a few yards offshore, hummingbirds in the backyard, and enjoyed sunset kayaks many nights throughout our stay. The kitchen is well stocked. Jo is responsive, kind, and truly a pleasure to communicate with. We cannot wait to return!

We had so much fun on our vacation in large part thanks to Jo and this house! The location was perfect for us - not too far from Bar Harbor, Acadia or the other harbor towns but still very private. We made good use of the beach which was awesome for kids and adults. Jo also went out of the way to have toys for our son which were important for downtime - we played every board game in the house :). Thanks so much for the wonderful stay!
