Beautiful place to stay

We really enjoyed our stay at the Hancock House! Can't beat the views. We enjoyed sitting outside around the fire while looking over the water. There are some tasty restaurants a short drive away. We also enjoyed the schoodic side of Acadia which was much less busy.

Enjoyable stay

We really enjoyed our stay at Hancock Point. Cabin was spacious, clean, comfortable and had a great view. Judy was accessible and readily answered questions/concerns both before & during our stay. While it is a drive to get to Acadia, it is still easy to get to the park and also close to restaurants. We appreciated being someplace where it was peaceful and quiet. We'd definitely stay here again should we visit the area.

Beautiful location overlooking the bay. Sun rises were beautiful each morning with a seal visitor one day! 30-40 minutes to Bar Harbor, Acadia park-a must see and about 10 from Schoodic point (also Acadia park) and also a must see! Judy was super nice and had everything ready including fresh flowers upon our arrival!

If your looking for an inexpensive place to sleep with a great view and not concerned with a 50 minute drive to Acadia and a dirty dated house, this is the place for you. Otherwise, there was a lot not to be desired. House is nice on the outside but dated and dirty on the inside. Great potential but needs work like a new towel bar and toilet paper dispenser in the first floor bathroom and a toilet paper dispenser in the 2nd floor bathroom. Needs to be throughly cleaned and nasty towels replaced. Thankful to have a place to stay by the park when booked 3 weeks before our trip, but would not stay here again.

I gave you 4 nights in a 10 yr old waterfront home for $1350.00. I is usually described as quiet, cozy, comfortable and has amazing water views from all rooms. I have over 75 5 star reviews and 24 current photos to view. If you made a mistake in selecting a property....I'm sorry..... I did the turnover myself that day and the place was spotless! If anything,I worried that it may have smelled too much of Pinesol, as I went over absolutely everything with that. The sheets and towels are high quality cotten and I've been complimented on that. If you wanted more you should have spent more......but my guests usually rave about everything !

We really enjoyed our stay at this vacation rental. The location was fantastic—peaceful, quiet, and with beautiful views and easy access to the Cove, which made for some great outdoor time. The house itself was spacious and had plenty of room for everyone to spread out comfortably.The host was very responsive and easy to contact, which we appreciated.There were a couple of drawbacks worth noting: we had some trouble with fruit flies during our stay, likely due to the season, and the living room furniture wasn’t the most comfortable. There was also a noticeable dog odor on the furniture Overall, the positives definitely outweighed the negatives, and with a few small updates, this place could be truly outstanding.

Our favorite place in Maine

We have tried to vacation in Maine every year for a while. After staying in beautiful Belfast several times, we decided we wanted to be closer to Acadia and Bar Harbor. My wife found this place in Hancock, and it's our very favorite. We have been here three times, and are already thinking about the fourth, in 2020! You can't beat it for comfort, views and location.

Perfect for a family trip

House is right off the rocky beach with low tides that allow for scavenger hunts in the shallows. House is kid friendly, didn’t feel like our 6 year old would break stuff. Brought kayaks and could access the coastline. Didn’t see many other folks during our stay. Easy drive to Acadia and other fun spots. Small cottage next door would make a good larger group stay easy since the properties share the outdoor space and beach access.

Great view and quiet out of the way property.

I loved the experience We had in Maine. Beautiful house and view. The owner is very thoughtful. The only thing that would make it better it to have a king size bed in the master and they should absolutely build a deck on the second level. It would make the outside space more enjoyable. Overall a great place!
