Does not disappoint!

This very-well equipped house is spacious with plenty of space for our three-generation family group. The pictures are accurate and the house is every bit as nice as it looks. The private aspect, overlooking the water was particularly nice. The hosts were quick to respond to queries.

This property was a hit with our group. It was conveniently located to visit Acadia National Park while avoiding the crush of Bar Harbor, which can get loud and congested.

Beautiful Nature; Wonderful Family Togetherness

This house was great for us 7 adult sisters & our 87 year old dad! Lots of room to cook & be together in the kitchen, at the dining table, & in the spacious living room. The 8 of us easily gathered to plan our next day's adventures, including visits to Acadia & Bar Harbor. Lovely to take the kayaks out. Great communication.

Fantastic House in a Great Location

We loved this house!!! Our extended family of 9 stayed here on our recent trip to Acadia National Park. It’s a very spacious house with ample bedrooms & bathrooms, and the basement has lots to do with air hockey, foosball, and pool tables. You can’t beat the view of the bay. And having access to the kayaks was a real selling point for us. I would rent this place again.

Amazing oceanfront house

I rented this house for our family weekend trip to Bar Harbor/ Acadia Park due to it's close proximity and great location to the surrounding areas. We really enjoyed the kayaks that came with the house and could use on the surrounding bay. The homeowner was great and very easy to communicate with throughout our stay. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone going on vacation. Thank you, Josh R

Lovely Property!

Great property for families - access to the water was used each day. Plenty of space, kids were very entertained in the basement. The kitchen was well stocked to make all our own meals. Steve was very responsive to my questions. *Of note - reminder that the house does not have AC which we assumed would be fine until the temperature was in the low 80s our entire stay (!). Got a bit uncomfortable, but the fans in the house helped!

Great family get-away

Large back yard right on the water, with kayaks and equipment available. The entire home is child-proofed. Huge kitchen, large comfortable living room. Four bedrooms with fifth day-bed hall upstairs. The master suite on the ground floor is gorgeous. We only needed three of the rooms. The unfinished basement is full of things to keep kids entertained. Lots to see an do in nearby Acadia and around the area. Some great biking in the area.

Absolutely a Beautiful Home on the Oceanfront

WOW!!! The house was just perfect for our long weekend get-a-way in Maine. The house was well equipped, spotless when we arrived, kitchen fully stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals, the beds were comfy, strong wi-fi, amazing views, and the owner, Shawn, was friendly, available for questions, and even delivered fresh lobsters, right off the boat, to the house. The house is perfectly located for trips to Bar Harbor, Cadillac Mountain, Tidal Bay, Ellsworth, and phenomenal restaurants where you can eat all the lobster, crabs, scallops, and oysters you want. We look forward to returning to the host on our next trip to Maine.

Surprised

We were surprised to find the property, described as “oceanfront” was actually facing the Skillings River and had no view of the ocean. We have stayed at other VRBOs and we found this one to be much more spartan than we expected. There were no usage instructions or information about the area (e.g. food shopping or restaurants). We were unable to lock the sliding glass doors—only one of which had a screen—or turn on the fireplace. The towels were few and very thin. It is a big house and would sleep several guests, but renters need to be ready for a lack of amenities in an isolated setting.

Great stay near to Bar Harbor

The house is very well organized and as accurate as website description. We really enjoyed our stay , the kids loved that they had options as well. One recommendation to the owners is regarding the bathrooms. The main bathroom shower do not have hot water and the other downstairs bathroom has drain issues as well. This essentially made us all use the upstairs bathroom, which was a bit hard. Also, the play area outside is very fragile and do not recommend the kids to use it.

Our Stay

First I would say the place is beautiful. The owner had great communication. I was disappointed though because one of the reasons I selected this house was because of the downstairs game room. The kids couldn't play down there because it seemed everything was broken or missing pieces. The furniture was old and worn but we didn't worry too much about that. The cleanliness was good with the exception of having to run across 2 spiders and there being spider webs/cob webs in the entry way on the ceiling. Due to the cold weather we didn't do anything outside. Plus the Geese rule over the area and filled the yard with their poop. I think if the furniture and the gaming area was replaced it would have been worth the amount paid. Besides that, we really enjoyed the stay and the view was absolutely gorgeous.
