- Contrasting vacation experiences
- All vacationing travelers coming to Bar Harbor
All vacationing travelers coming to Bar Harbor come chiefly in order to experience the unfamiliar:
— expeditions through a National Park not visited previously,
— new and different cuisine from over 100 restaurants,
— athletic activities like bicycling and kayaking although now in more gorgeous natural surroundings than in the metropolitan areas they left behind for a while. - Travelers coming to vacation rental properties
Comparatively few visitors choose to stay, if they can, in an actual home like the subject property, on the ocean shore at the edge of infinity.
Those travelers earnestly choose to use their vacation time to commune with the most important people in their lives:
— with elderly parents whose years are dear, or
— with a devoted spouse to be celebrated as a fortunate gift in life, or
— with children to be remembered just as they are in their brief and tender years, and hopefully to be fondly remembered by them in later years, or
— with old friends, lest “auld lang acquaintances be forgot”, whereas there are few precious and true friends who come along in life and then abide, or
— with a newcomer to a family: the person whom parents of a fiancé want to come to know as best they can, by talking with that person for hours and days in a place that is quiet and spacious and has a peaceful and reassuring ambiance; or
— with an enthusiastic business partner possessed by inspiring new ideas, or with a co-venturer in some grand plan for good works for some of the great swath of longsuffering humanity who could never hope to come to this property or to experience anything like it, or with a person new to us but who knows a whole lot about something of fascinating interest to us even though we are tyros in comparison.

- The Oceansedge vacation rental property
The Oceansedge property has been for many visitors to Bar Harbor an ephemeral home, a gathering place for families for just a week or two.

Those are the sort of guests who should choose a vacation rental property and this property.
The proprietor of the Oceansedge property covets for that home those guests who are a good fit for the property, and vice versa.
Those right-fit guests are warmly welcomed here and treated very well.
