Thank you for your kind review and so happy you had a. Amazing time and the house was perfect for you. Hope you have a chance to come again. Thank you!
One of the best properties we have stayed at. It was clean, the set up was perfect and location couldn’t be better. It was easy to get to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. The kids loved going down to the water at low tide and looking for crabs, rocks and shells. It was easy to get to bar harbor And the views were spectacular!

Thank you for your review. So glad you and your family had a wonderful time!
Our family had a fantastic time at the house enjoying the beautiful views from the back porch of the bay and wildlife. The house worked great for our party of 10, including a wide range of ages from grandparents down to an infant. The property was clean and well stocked for our stay.

My son and I had a wonderful vacation in Ellsworth and Acadia. This house is beautiful and very comfortable. Everything we needed was there. The location is perfect and so beautiful. The kitchen was well equipped to cook some meals during the week we were there. Daria and Scott were wonderful to rent from. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home. We would go back in a heartbeat.

Hi Katherine - so great to hear you and your son had a wonderful stay at Kissick Point. We aim to please and glad to hear you had a great time! Come back anytime! Daria & Scott
Awesome property. Sept 6 - 13 lots of room for seven adults. Views were great lots of wildlife especially birds. Even had an immature bald eagle land about 100 feet from us while sitting on the steps going down to the water. House was well appointed and very comfortable. Centrally located to many attractions. Secluded and peaceful for a large group highly recommended.

Hi Michael - thank you for such a nice review. Glad to hear the home was comfy for your group. Jealous about spotting the bald eagles, and we're so glad you got to see them! Welcome back anytime. Best, Daria & Scott
We enjoyed our stay away from crowded bar harbor. It was about 30-40 minutes drive to all the Acadia National Park sites. House was clean and well stocked and convenient to stores and restaurants. We spent most of our dinners relaxing at the house away from the crowds. Great sunsets.

Thank you for your review! We are so glad to hear you and your family had a wonderful time. We'd welcome you back anytime!
The location was perfect, nestled in a peaceful area yet close to local attractions like Acadia National Park and stunning coastal views.What I loved most was how accommodating it was for all ages—from the kids who enjoyed the yard and water to the grandparents who appreciated the cozy living areas. The kitchen was well-equipped for family meals, and Kissick Point was an attraction in and of itself.If you're looking for a family-friendly retreat that caters to all ages, this Ellsworth gem is the place to go!

Thank you for your kind words and to hear that everyone in your family found the home and area comfy and cozy! Glad you all had a wonderful stay - come back anytime!
Absolutely beautiful location! This was our second stay here in Ellsworth with our family. We enjoyed watching the sunsets, exploring the coast at low tide for treasures, and of course hiking in Acadia. So many cute towns to explore in and around the area too. We had the chef from Provender in town come and cook a meal for us! I highly recommend visiting the restaurant while you’re here. Daria is an excellent host. The house accommodated our party of 9 (7 adults 2 children) perfectly. All beds are comfy and warm, and the kitchen is stocked with all the supplies you need. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Thank you for another lovely stay, Daria!

Cheryl - thank you for your kind review and for posting the lovely sunset photos. It never gets old :-). Glad you all had a wonderful time in the area too. Thank you again!
What a lovely home! The somewhat longer distance from Bar Harbor and Acadia (but still only 30ish minutes) is more than made up for by the solitude and peace this house offers. We stayed for a week and didn't see another soul when combing the beach or kayaking (we rented from The Activity Shop). Gorgeous views and a super well-stocked (everything you need in the kitchen, games, etc.) and comfortable home.

Hi - thanks for the nice review and glad you found the home comfortable were able to enjoy the peaceful beach and kayaking. Welcome back anytime!
This house is as advertised and we loved it. Retired couple plus pet, who loved the fenced yard and bird watching. We did not use 3 of the bedrooms, but you can easily accommodate kids or grandkids. Great views from the yard, deck, and family rooms and several bedrooms. House was clean, with a well-appointed kitchen. Only used the master bedroom, which was large with a comfortable bed. House was in the woods, but allowed us to walk the dog, and the area was quiet. We picked this house because it is on the water, near Acadia and Bar Harbor, and drivable to other sites and small towns. We will be back to enjoy Maine, and this house will be at the top of our list to rent.

Hi Christopher - thank you for your kind review! We're so happy to hear everything was clean and comfortable and that you had a lovely time and your dog too! Welcome back anytime! best, Daria & Scott
We had a great stay at this home. It was very quiet and had beautiful views of the waterfront. It was the perfect location for quick and easy access to Acadia.
What a beautiful setting! Wonderful water views with the best of Maine on display. Close to Acadia and Bar Harbor and easy access to shopping. Highly recommended for a Maine family vacation.
Cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay! Home was exactly as described. We really enjoyed the privacy of the property, and having our own little slice of heaven right on the bay. Host was communicative and very helpful in every way. Highly recommended!
The house was perfect for our family group with plenty of space for all of us. Well equipped for preparing meals and convenient to Bar Harbor and Acadia and we also enjoyed downtown Ellsworth . Gorgeous views and beach access. We saw osprey and seals and other water birds. Loved our stay!
This is a particularly lovely house. We spent hours on the deck, watching the birds and seals and breathing in the sweet ocean air. Walking on the beach we saw otter tracks and crabs. And kayaking was easy going on the cove by Kissick Point, and invigorating in the waves farther out. We spent several days at Acadia and Bar Harbor and one in Ellsworth where I especially enjoyed the Stanwood Wildlife Shelter. All of us: me, my children, and my grandchildren said this is the best VRBO house yet. One tiny point - it was bit of a challenge getting our rented single and double kayaks up and down the stairs to the beach. Luckily we had 2 strong guys.

Thank you for taking the time for your kind words and sharing your photo! So glad to hear you and your family enjoyed the home and location and got to kayak! We will take a look at the kayak slide next to stairs and see if we can adjust. Thx again!
beautiful location with easy access to Ellswotrh and Acadia NP
Great views of Union River Bay from the house and a nice walking trial to Kiss Point. Our dog loved sniffing along the beach and on Kiss Point trail. Everything we needed was supplied, just had to bring some food. Definitely want stay there again.
Description was very accurate. Beautiful property and easy checkin and communication.

Why they chose this property
We think you'll know the first time you sit out on the point and enjoy the sounds of the seals and the changing light as the sun sets. Bring your binoculars for close up views of all kinds of wildlife - including eagles, loons, seals and huge variety of birds.
