Beautiful place with million dollar views. Checked in and immediately saw a bald eagle fly by the dining room window. Kayaked and saw plenty more of the bal eagles, seal and tons of wild life. Close to everything so great choice.

My extended family had a wonderful stay. The location was so ideal and the size of the house made it easy for us all to gather together or find cozy nooks for more solitude. And you can’t beat the views out of many of the windows. It was very easy to get to the park and explore the incredible beauty of Acadia. Highly recommend!

The house had plenty of space for our 3 families and although the listing shows only 2 showers (and a bath) there was a 3rd shower on the basement level. The house was homey and quirky and the basement was a little bit damp but it worked out well for our visit.

The house was perfect. We spent many evenings by the fire pit enjoying the scene and the company.

The house was fully stocked with everything we needed. My father who was in a wheel chair was able to move around easily too. There was plenty of room to spread out. Thanks for a fabulous vacation!

Sullivan Cove

This was a beautiful family home in a wonderfully quiet location right on the cove. Sunrises were spectacular. The house was equipped with anything one would need to stay, with extras such as games and puzzles. We appreciated the use of the washer/dryer also. Home was large and more than accommodating for our group of 7. Nice 10 minute drive into Bar Harbor. We had a couple of housekeeping issues, but nothing that we couldn't handle ourselves, and reported at the end of the stay so that they could be corrected afterward. The staff at Acadia Rentals were very pleasant to speak with. Overall, a very comfortable stay and would stay again if we were back in the area.

Location!

You can’t beat the location of this property. The secluded spot, the views from nearly every room, the access to the water and the proximity to both Acadia and Bar Harbor made this stay so wonderful, especially with small kids who couldn’t handle being in the car for long periods of time. We had everything we needed in the house and plenty of space for our group of 12 (9 adults and 3 kids from 4 different households). We loved being able to all cook and eat together in the large kitchen/dining area. The house came with so much for those traveling with small children; we were pleasantly surprised to even find toys and children’s books when we arrived. However, I would not consider the house “childproofed” so keep that in mind as you plan. The house was old and though charming did come with the issues that are to be expected from an older home especially in a damp area - mainly just old home smells. If there are two types of rental homes - those made to be more for rentals and made to be neutral in decor more like a hotel, and those that are more like staying in someone’s actual home - then this home is the latter, complete with family pictures and all. Both the kids and adults in the group loved exploring the rocky shore at low tide and we were so glad we had brought some binoculars for wildlife viewing. As an added bonus there was a very cute groundhog living in the backyard that our 3 year old named “Salami”. She has talked about Salami every day since our visit.
