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.

Wow. Beautiful views, plenty of space, super-clean.

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.

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.

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.

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!

On the Water

We loved our time at this home. Good location to explore this part of the coast. The listing states that it's a bit of a drive to Acadia area, so we knew what we were getting and decided the access to the water was worth it. Know that it's impossible to enter the home without tracking in dirt and bits of travel. Not a huge issue, but the check-out guidelines require guests to sweep before they leave. We swept a few times while there for our own comfort, but the last thing you want to do when you are packing to leave is to have to sweep up. Only thing I would recommend to the owner is to update the decor. Right now it"s a mix of styles by room rather than having a cabin, ocean or other vibe. Small thing overall, but it would really help the ambiance.

Dreamy Home with Amazing Views

There were 11 of us in our group and this house had it all! The kitchen is fully stocked with appliances and spices and the bathrooms have plenty of towels and rags which was so appreciated! There was more than enough space for all of us to be comfortable at all times. If you have a large enough group that you need to use the upstairs loft bed, I would recommend bringing sleeping masks as there is no door or shade to block out the morning sun as the sunrises. The back yard is so dreamy and provided stunning views every day. We were able to walk down below the shoreline during low tide and do some tidepooling and look for gemstones and wildlife. Each day we saw deer, birds, and little chipmunks in our backyard. If you plan on visiting Acadia National Park, it's more like a 45 minute drive from the house so something to be aware of for timing purposes. The home looks exactly like the pictures and having gates on the stairs was such a thoughtful gesture to ensure no one gets hurt. Finally, the owners were so communicative and accommodating. They were checking in on us for our flight and arrival, ensured lights were on when we arrived, and even brought us refills of propane. You can tell they really care about their renters and go above and beyond! Thank you for providing our family with a beautiful home to make some wonderful memories in!

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.

Beautiful spot

This huge house with stunning views was great for our family and another family to stay at the same time. We loved using the kayaks, and having the outside play structure and game room for the kids. The kitchen is huge but a bit bare-bones if you are planning to cook a lot.

Great Week with great views

We had a total of 12 people staying for the week. There was plenty of room and accommodations. The views were great. The kayaks were a plus. We had a baby with us and the crib and high chair were in good shape. They had other baby needs, but we didn’t use them. The new furniture was very comfortable and plenty of kitchen supplies. The house has one refrigerator, so bring coolers for a little extra room. The town of Hancock wasn’t the best, or Ellsworth. It’s a little run down but we spent a lot of time in Acadia hiking or sitting at the fire pit. Many of the restaurants don’t open for lunch. They open at 4:00. Walmart is about 15 min away if you forget anything. Tital Falls, which is 2 miles away was a very nice 2 hours of entertainment. Go at low tide to see the star fish, other creatures and climb on the rocks. Bring water shoes for a better experience. We had a very relaxing, great vacation and affordable. We would definitely rent again if we made our way back to Maine.

Clean, well communicated paradise

The pictures don’t do the house and location justice. Location is peaceful. The house is spotless. The view 5 stars. Only a 30-35 min drive to bar harbor. Communication with the host was speedy and informative and never made me felt like a burden. Would certainly recommend and did not want to leave.

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.

I miss it already!

If I could go back today and stay for several months, I would! We had 2 families with 5 kids ranging 4 to 20. This house was perfect for everyone. The backyard was huge and the kayaking was so fun. The kids loved exploring the rocks out back and playing tag in the grass. The views were amazing and the house had a ton of space for everyone to spread out. The main room furniture has recently been replaced and was super comfortable. The beds were also comfortable and everything was really clean. The kitchen was completely stocked with anything you’d need to cook and serve a meal for a lot of people. The house doesn’t have AC but honestly it’s cool enough - even in summer - that you won’t need it. When we weren’t venturing out to Acadia or Bar Harbor, we explored locally and found a little playground by the library as well as Tidal Falls, where they had beautiful starfish among the rocks on the coastline! The hosts were incredibly responsive before and throughout our stay. A few of my friends have seen pics and heard me gush and all want the link to book a trip themselves!
