A perfect vacation home for our family of seven, exploring Acadia National Park. It was located in a quiet village away from the business of travelers at the end of the day. It was clean, spacious, and equipped with everything we needed in the kitchen for our evening meals. It was an easy drive to Acadia and the other small towns in the area. We would love to go back!

Awesome stay in Corea!!

Beautifully renovated home, close to activities in Corea, great spot called Lunch on the Wharf, and a little over an hour from Bar Harbor and Acadia NP. More than enough room for a group of 7 with ages ranging from 11-46. Greatly appreciated quick responses from the host, Sara. Definitely would stay again. Thanks so much!!

House was very clean and spacious. We had some issues getting in via the keypad so ended up using a different door that required a key. Upstairs bathroom is amazing!

Beautiful house with very comfortable beds. The house is equipped with everything you could possibly need. We loved the house and location. Only slight complaint would be parking situation is shared with neighboring house, there are zero window coverings on windows and a bit uncomfortable. Window coverings would help this. Also first day we arrived was dark, late and neighbors were parked in way making it difficult for us to unpack, they were also sitting in back fire pit area for the house. We worked it all out and enjoyed the vacation very much.

I apologize for the neighbors rental parking in our parking spots. As for them using our fire pit area, I had no idea. I will address that with the neighbor immediately. Window coverings are on their way. Back ordered item. Thank you again for staying at our home. We hope you can come back soon.

Wonderful stay in a quaint Maine village.

If you are looking for a peaceful and quiet place to stay on the Maine coast, look no further. This completely renovated house was the perfect spot for our Maine vacation with our two teenage grandchildren. The house has just been completely redone and contains beautiful furnishings and high end appliances. A fire pit in the back was perfect to relax at and have s’mores after a day of exploring the area. The upper level loft bedroom is a perfect spot for morning coffee facing the harbor. Have a glass of wine in the evening on the front deck before dinner. Be sure and take the lobster boat tour that leaves from right down the street at the local harbor (Bottom Line) and catch your own lobster. Then have it cooked after the tour at Lunch on the Wharf. This location is about half an hour from Ellsworth (LL Bean Outlet Store) and an hour from Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. We will definitely return to this area in the future.

Will return!

Beautifully newly rehabbed older house. Large spacious tastefully decorated rooms. Ginormous bathroom with huge glass walk in shower, deep soaking tub, dual vanities and heated floors. I appreciated the great smelling bath products. Very large kitchen area with new upscale appliances. Large TV’s in all the bedrooms. And the beds were some of the most comfortable I ever slept in. Very nice fire pit area at the rear of the property. The host was very attentive and responded immediately to our requests. For us the best feature was the location. Small quiet town. A three minute walk to the wharf where you could watch the lobster boats load and unload. And walk to the wharf for your lobster dinner. Every day I would drive down about a quarter mile and get fresh oysters from a stand. Bottom line, I would stay here again.

Great house/great location

Our family of 5 stayed here end of July/beginning of August. Loved the location- quiet little town of Corea. Away from the crowds of Bar Harbor, but still an easy drive to get to Acadia. Very nice view of the water from the 3rd floor. I have 3 college age kids and there were enough beds for each of them- they actually each had their own room. The house was immaculate and beautifully renovated, had everything we needed. Just a note* the listing says the property is air conditioned, but the only air conditioning is a wall unit on the 3rd floor. It's Maine, so that's probably not uncommon, but we were expecting a/c. Mostly the breezes from the water were enough with the box fans provided, but being the time of year it was, there were a couple of days where the water breezes and fans were not enough to cool the house down to a comfortable temperature. Other than that, we had a great stay and would recommend it to others!
