With floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the ocean, the main floor has a modern kitchen, living and dining rooms that open to the spacious ocean-side deck, the primary bedroom suite, and a half bath. The views are stunningly beautiful. There are 3 wood-burning fireplaces for use when the weather turns cooler. There are 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on the second floor, and a large family room with 65" TV, fooseball table, and full bathroom located in the walk-out finished basement.
Relax on the spacious 50' deck with spectacular 180-degree views of the bay and inner islands, dining ocean-side, or relaxing in the comfortable seating area. The house and deck are well - suited for families and small groups to enjoy time together, while watching occassional passing schooners, lobster boats, and a variety of sealife, such as bald eagles, osprey and seals.
1798 sits on a gently-sloping hillside and has a finished, walk-out, light-filled basement where the large family room is located, with a 65-inch TV, fooseball table, and assortment of games and toys. There is also a full bathroom and laundry room on this level, and a private workspace with desk, comfortable chair, computer and printer/scanner.
Behind the house and facing the bay is a fence - enclosed unheated swimming pool, available June through late September, with an inviting stone patio and seating area. A solar cover helps warm the pool water during the summer.
1798 is child friendly. It sits at the end of a private road and has an outdoor play structure with swings, slides, a tower, and sandbox. One of the second - floor bedrooms has a bunk bed plus twin bed.
Located a mile from the charming village of East Blue Hill, the house is 5 miles from Blue Hill Village, and 13 miles from the larger (small) city of Ellsworth. Guests have easy access to grocery stores, many choices for dining out, and a variety of small shops, galleries, and more to explore. Curtis Cove, a popular swimming spot, is a beautiful half mile walk on a quiet side road, and Blue Hill Heritage Trust maintains beautiful walking and hiking trails throughout the area. Acadia National Park is less than an hour's drive away.
This is a great choice for families, small group retreats, remote workers, and artists and writers looking for a quiet, beautiful space to foster creativity.

Reviews
The sunrises and views of the ocean from the deck were special...
We had a most amazing time at 1798!! We were a group of 8 adults who have been getting together for the past 10 years, and this place was the best of all our rentals. We enjoyed the comfortable sofas and roomy dining table. Kitchen very well equipped for cooking, and it was large enough for several of us to prepare dinner together. The sunrises and views of the ocean from the deck were special. The hosts and owner were very responsive to our needs. Location to Blue Hill to buy seafood and to Acadia National Park was good. We are already talking of returning when the pool is open.
A beautiful house in a magical location...

Heaven on earth...
We had a wonderful time in this beautiful house. The pool was great, and sitting on the porch in the morning with a cup of coffee was “heaven on earth“. What a great place to stay.

Only 5 stars to rate?? This is 10 stars at least! As a foreign service employee who has travelled the world, I don't know of any place I would rather live than 1798 East Blue Hill. There is nothing, absolutely nothing, to want once you open the door. They have thought of absolutely everything you could ever want, from games to ice cream scoops! And Blue Hill has wonderful shops of beautiful pottery, paintings, restaurants, a small harbor - ideallic location. We saw seals; dolphins; eagles; foxes. A vacation we will never forget! Property managers respond immediately! Perfect rental in every single way!
Thank you Marilyn for such a nice review. We want everyone to know that you and your family were great guests and are invited back anytime. All the best, Brenda and Chelsea
Spectacular!
We stay in a lot of rental homes. This was the best. I don’t know that the photos do it justice. It was perfect in every way and the deck views were incredible. My kids would wake up every morning and couldn’t wait to look at passing boats, birds, seals through the binoculars. Grandma was with us as well - it is a house built for multi-generational families: First floor accommodation for Grandma, cute kid accommodations and bath upstairs, plus three other rooms upstairs for adults or older kids. We really enjoyed the expansive space that gave everyone an opportunity to find a spot for some quiet time whether it was on the hammock, at the well appointed pool area, in the basement (with the 65” screen TV!), climbing the rocks (both easy and harder options) down to the water to enjoy the tide coming in / going out, or on the deck where we enjoyed morning coffee and many dinners. There was plenty of seating indoors and outdoors for family meals. We spent most of the time at the house because it was so comfortable. It was spotlessly clean when we arrived, the pool, lawn and flower beds were meticulously maintained. We had everything we needed. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked, best I’ve seen in a vacation rental. The basement had a large assortment of toys, puzzles, Legos, games, kids books, plus a small piano and foosball table to keep the kids entertained. It felt remote but there were lobster shops, grocery stores, and restaurants within 12 minutes.
We made lifetime memories on Blue Hill Bay...
Book this historic home immediately! As soon as you walk in, you will feel right at home. Everything you need for a family vacation is provided, from beach towels and picnic blankets to kayaks and everything you need to make a lobster boil. The bedrooms are so comfortable, the bathrooms are spotless, the kitchen is fully equipped, and the master suite is peaceful. We were 9 people and had plenty of room to enjoy each other's company and also retreat away for some quiet time. The house and the surroundings far exceeded my expectations and we had a fantastic stay.
