Wonderful vacation rental
Very comfortable peaceful vacation rental. Home was well prepared for an enjoyable stay. Location was lovely for exploring Winter Harbor, and all its natural beauty! Fabulous sunsets found down Grindstone Rd close to rental location! Sharon very helpful offering tips for enjoying the area. Would highly recommend this vacation rental!
Very nicely furnished. Comfortable, clean. Well located in a beautiful area.
Excellent hosts. Attractively furnished, everything in kitchen, dining and other supplies that you'd ever need. Lots of information on local and area attractions, cool things to do. Books and guides of the area. Detailed welcome letter. Well located near water, village shops, restaurants, etc .
Perfect for relaxation
This is a great house for relaxation and the beach is two houses away. Everything you need is there. They have bikes, fishing poles, binoculars and all the comforts of home. My 11 y/o son described it as cozy and perfect for vacation. The kitchen is very well stocked. Winter Harbor is a lovely town and has that rustic New England feel. Sharon is also wonderful and called the first day to answer any questions about the house. She has great knowledge of the area and was full of helpful advice. There are also two restaurants at the end of the street at the beach end that are wonderful. I would absolutely stay here again.
The property was in impeccable shape and had everything we needed.
We thought that the property was well kept and perfect for us. The location is incredible and we will definitely be back again.
Authentic Maine experience
This charming home was perfect for our family of four. It is in a great location in the quaint fishing village of Winter Harbor. Its close proximity to the Schoodic Peninsula in Acadia National Park is so nice. Everything you need to make your stay pleasant was in this house. We were very comfortable during the whole visit. The homeowners are very responsive to any problem that you might have. If you want to be in a busy area of the Maine coast (like the middle of Bar Harbor), this may not be your ideal location. However, if you want a quieter, less commercial experience, consider this home.
A small harbor town experience
We really enjoyed our stay in this home. It is centrally located to the town Winter Harbor. It is a short walk to the grocery store, 5 &10, post office, ice cream shop, harbor and ferry. There are two restaurants almost next door. There is a seafood vendor a half mile from the house, along with a smoked seafood vendor as well. We cooked all of our meals in the well equipped kitchen and enjoyed the sea breeze that came through the windows of the house. We spent a few afternoons at Grindstone Neck watching the waves in the harbor. We spent a day biking Schoodic Point (part of Acadia National Park) and a day over in Bar Harbor by taking the short ferry ride between Winter Harbor and Bar Harbor. There is public transportation once you are in Bar Harbor to further explore Acadia National Park if you choose. My husband and I have been to this area many times and always find plenty to do in the area. If you enjoy wines, make sure to stop at Bartlett for a sampling of fruit wines from bone dry to very sweet.
Map
Explore Acadia National Park-Schoodic Peninsula, hike, bike, sail, fish. Enjoy the ocean breezes. Shop specialty stores and art galleries. Picnic at Frazier's Point. Take the ferry to Bar Harbor & Mt. Desert Island, also home to Acadia Natl Park or drive yourself.
