This home is gorgeous with tons of room and a beautiful view! We had a large family gathering there with 9 people and we all had our own rooms with a few sleeping areas to spare. We enjoyed sitting outside on the covered porch talking while rocking in the chairs and taking in the peaceful atmosphere. We have stayed in several VRBOs and our family agreed that this one was our favorite so far. Highly recommend.

Thanks for your kind response, Jenny. We were so glad you and your crew enjoyed your time at 23 Bay Ave, and tip of Hancock Point peninsula. Looking across Frenchman Bay from the covered porch at the Mountains of Acadia at all hours of the day and night still mesmerizes us, even after all of these years. Please consider returning at some point in the future.

Thanks Andrew. We are so glad you and your guests enjoyed your time there last summer. We sometimes forget about the wildlife until we are there, and occasionally spot eagles and other birds gliding by or perched in the free trees, and seals and sometimes porpoises swimming by or frolicking in the bay just off the porch and front lawn. Thanks again, and please come back if it ever works out again.

Thanks for making the trip, Kathy. We were glad to have you and your guests. The views of Frenchman Bay and the mountains behind it from the porch and bay side of the house can be breathtaking, and just being on the coast of Maine in the fall can be so reaffirming and restful. We also enjoy walking to the Crocker House for a tasty snack or beverage, and walking around the Point looking at the islands and bay with a warm drink in our hands. Perhaps its the Maine coastal air, but we and many of our guests seem to sleep better there. Thanks again for coming, enjoying the house and area, and taking such good care of the house. We luck forward to having you back at some point in the future.

A Beautiful House, Beautiful Scenery, Just Beautiful!!

We explored Acadia National Park during the day and then had wonderful family time in the evening on the porch with the beautiful view, not only the ocean but the gardens surrounding the house. The inside was beautiful too! Plenty of room to get away if needed!

A lifelong dream of mine to be on the shores of Maine just like my favorite childhood book One Morning in Maine. This house accommodated our family beautifully and is the quintessential house for the area. Now we just need to select our favorite photos from our stay.

Great Experience

The back porch was second to none. It was large, covered by a roof and had a spectacular view of Cadillac Mountain across the bay. I also liked the fact that it was in a very quiet location. This was our first visit to the Acadia area and I was really surprised at the number of people there. It was nice ot relax in a quiet place with a great view.

Amazing Vacation

We had an absolutely fantastic vacation staying at the house on Hancock Point! There was plenty of room for our large family. The house is very well maintained and the views are amazing! Both the owner and Property Manager were very quick to respond to any questions we had and were extremely accommodating! We made memories that will last a lifetime! Thank you so much!

Wonderful stay!

We loved this house! It has everything: an incredible view, history, a lovely town, and a cozy feel. We could sit for hours on the back porch and look at the views. The house is very large so can easily fit a large group comfortably. The master bedroom had very comfortable bed, with a luxury bathroom. All of the bedrooms were clean and comfortable. The owner and property manager were very helpful and both checked in with us during a pretty significant storm that came through during our stay.

This property was simply amazing. The house was very spacious and it accommodate my group very well. The view of Frenchman Bay was stunning we sat on the back porch to see the sunrise and sunset. I would definitely rent this property again. The host was so accommodating and very polite. All the bedrooms were very clean and i loved the antique furniture throughout the house. It was a very relaxing atmosphere and the weather was beautiful . Job well done with the up keep of this property keep doing what your doing. Thanks for allowing me to have a wonderful experience at your property in Hancock Maine.

Thanks again for renting, Sherry. It was a pleasure to have you and your guests and hear that you had a nice stay. We are glad the weather cooperated as well. The fall on Hancock Point and in the area generally, and view of Frenchman Bay off the porch, foliage, quiet, and less people make it perhaps our favorite time to be up there ourselves with friends and loved ones. Have a wonderful winter, and hopefully we will see you back at some point in the future.

Great option for trip to Acadia National Park

Everything about this house was great for our 11 person family, particularly during some of the rainy days of our stay. Everyone had a place to hang out, from the stunning view on the deck, to the dining room which was our puzzle room, to the living room where the kids played after dinner. The house seemed to have more bedrooms than originally listed so we had plenty of options. I wish the bathroom in the bedroom right above the kitchen had a shower and not just a bathtub. The exterior doors were difficult to open, whether it was because of the rainy weather or we weren't trying the right knobs (there were multiple). We were pleased to see the original owner's signed paintings throughout the home and felt like it was a special place to stay and make summer memories as a family.
