Great large house, with well-equipped kitchen with chef stove. Good location for visiting Acadia & local beaches. Fun looking for shells & seaglass. Used lobster pot that is in the house 3 x. Has great deck with gas grill. Saw deer in the backyard. 3 bedrooms all with their own bathroom's made it an easy stay with adult family members

Home Away from Home

We appreciated the roomy space for the four of us and our dog. The location served us well for going to Acadia/Bar Harbor and the Schoodic Peninsula. Pickled Wrinkle was a great lunch spot. Hancock Point was lovely for short and long walks as well as bike rides.
Fourth of July view from the point (short walk from the house)
Beautiful afternoon after some rain (on the porch)

Nice, other than: no view to speak of, musty towels, tv incapable of showing programs or movies without constantly reloading, just not viewable. House needs wall and ceiling repairs. Grand piano is missing several keys which was an important factor in choosing this house.

As always, we had a wonderful time. The house is comfortable, with an accommodating porch and lawn area for spending time together. and is situated in an excellent location that is both private and steps from the ocean. Love the access to Carter Beach and the boat club! Thank you!

Property is not as pictured online. Lots of old and worn furniture and many personal items remain in the home. We felt like we broke into a house when a family was away instead of renting a VRBO. There is a very small view around the trees of Frenchmen’s Bay instead of what the listing showed. Freezer would hardly open. Beds were comfortable. We did appreciate the helpful hints on traveling backroads to Acadia Natl Park.

Spacious and Comfortable

We really enjoyed our stay in Hancock. The location is very central close to Bar Harbor/Acadia National Park and Schoodic. We slept comfortably for a party of 7. Note the last bed is actually the sofa bed in the living room. The kitchen is a main draw it's very well stocked and appointed. Everything you need to cook meals. The owners also provided a binder of great tips and recommendations.The house doesn't have AC but it's cool at night with the windows open.The owner is very attentive and responds right away.

Lovely stay!

This was a nice quiet place to stay during our trip. It provided us good access to both parts of Acadia and some hidden gems we hadn’t previously know about, like Tidal Falls Preserve. The house was very spacious, clean, and well-appointed. We had a lovely stay!

We loved our stay at this lovely home! Short walk to the ocean. We got to enjoy many beautiful sunrises. The dogs enjoyed playing in the yard. Was the perfect location, not far from Acadia, but far enough away from all the traffic and tourists!

A charming family home in Hancock Point

We had a very nice stay for 5 nights, and it was perfect for a family of 5. The kitchen was fully stocked, and the house was very spacious. The house has a lot of character and history to it, and we felt so welcomed. The neighborhood is quiet and perfect for families. The drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor took about 30-40 minutes, and about 30 minutes to Schoodic Peninsula. George was very responsive to a few inquiries, and we would stay here again.
