Very Private Beachfront Home on Point – BernardRock Holme – This is a private oceanfront house set on a point at the tip of the town of Bernard with views of Bass Harbor and outer islands. It has a large painted deck with chaise chairs, anti-gravity chairs, dining furniture, and large gas barbecue grill. The private beach is accessible from the front yard and through a short woods path over a quaint bridge and short walk trough our woods path. The beach through the woods has large stones to sunbath on, and picnic on and there is an island that appears on our beach at low tide. It’s a great place to explore and for evening cocktails as the sun sets. There is some beach sand that occurs on our beach at low tide and a nice soft public sand beach to the right of the property around the corner at low tide within walking distance. The ocean sand area is fun to explore to find hermit crabs. Our front beach is ideal to launch kayaks and to beach comb.The house has three bedrooms. The front master bedroom with queen bed overlooks the water. The color theme is a turquoise/ sea green for curtains and bedding. Pictures feature flowers, coastal art, and Asian art. The ocean view is perfect from the bed. The other queen bedroom overlooks the yard with a side window facing the water. If you leave that window open at night you will hear the ocean which is very soothing. The color theme in this room is blue and it has Asian art. There is a smaller bedroom with a twin bed in between perfect for a young child or adult. (Sorry, no children below age 5 considered – refer to rules and policies).
