Had an amazing time overall! If I'm nitpicking (which I am), securing the dishwasher so it doesn't tip slightly when loading would be good (was not a hazard).The firepit was relaxing and the indoor pool was as massive and fun as the pictures imply. We were very close to Acadia for our trip, and within walking distance of that great street-side Lobster place.Check in was super easy!

Had everything we needed. Not sure if pool is heated, it was very chilly. We didn't use fire pit because of county burn advisory. Good location, 20-30 min from everything. Hot water tank not large enough to fill massive Jacuzzi tub above the jets. Could have been cleaned better (chips in sofa, dirty upholstery, and fans) Beds were all clean and comfortable.

Family Maine Trip

We had three generations in the home. All enjoyed the stay. Kids loved the pool. Being on the “quiet” side of the island was a nice reprieve from the bustle of the east side. Loved being part of the woods.

Great rental in Seal Cove

Great property. Grandkids & adults loved the pool! It was a relaxing & refreshing way to end each day after enjoying excursions in Acadia & Bar Harbor. The house was a perfect fit for our family of 11.

Great house

We thoroughly enjoyed this house. It was in a quiet, rural area. The house and view were beautiful. We enjoyed the large beautiful indoor pool and hot tub. Perfect to sit outside on the large deck or enjoy a bon fire.

Great place to stay

The house was nice and big for our group of 7. The downstairs was nicely remodeled, but the upstairs, while very clean, felt like you were stepping into another era, but it worked. The weather was comfortable during our stay so we didn't mind the fans and open windows at all. However, more windows needed screens or screens that did not have holes in them. We used the pool a little but for the crowd we had, it was a bit cold and could have been a few degrees warmer to be able to really enjoy it. We loved the location and the out of the way feel. Almost every day we saw deer and a family of turkeys around the house. We loved the close little lobster place just around the corner that you are able to walk to. It was so convenient and an excellent place to eat. The only negatives we would give would be the kitchen could use some better cooking utensils, can opener (which barely worked) and knives. The stove has some minor issues but we got it to work okay. We did need to wash one of the bed coverings when we arrived but otherwise everything was very clean. We would recommend this location and would go back if we visit Maine again.

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at this house. The pool was nice to have however, the chlorine was very strong and irritated everyone’s skin and eyes afterwards. The bottom has been redone very well however, the top floor needs to be redone, especially the bathroom. We felt like we were going to fall through the shower floor.

Home was perfect for our extended family of 9. It is quiet, spacious, and very accommodating. Cooked fresh lobster every night we ate at the house and not out. Great little, non-touristy lobster pound called Hodgdon's Seafood, only minutes from the house. Everything we needed to make us feel at home is here. We loved that we could reach most places on our to-do list within half an hour. Although, we did travel 2.5 hours to white water raft on the Kennebec. So worth the trip! We also recommend the Giant Slide Trail if you are up for a challenge. We really can’t complain about anything concerning the house, our communication with Shelley, or the accuracy of its listing.

Great overall just needs some updates

We enjoyed our stay overall. The main floor is beautiful and looks receently remodeld. The upper floor is like stepping back in time several decades. It definitely could use an update, but it did not detract from our stay. The pool was nice to have, but ran colder than we expected. The owner did stop by to increase the temp, but it didn't stay above 78 most of our stay, so a little too cold for the adults in our group. The teenagers all enjoyed it. The highlight was the jetted tub. Its large enough to comfortably fit two adults and was awesome to relax in at the end of the day. Overall would recommend this place for a family.

Mixed bag

In summary: We would not stay here again at the price we paid (over $2,000 for 3 nights, including nightly rate plus host fee, service fee, and taxes). This is of course just our experience/opinion. Your experience may vary. What we liked: Indoor pool, black-out curtains in bedrooms (except one window you're not allowed to touch that has wood blinds), good mattresses, nice location. What was concerning/we did didn't like: Overall, the place had a veneer of update/reno on the main floor, but so many flaws when you live there for a few days. The dishwasher frame comes out of the counter when you're loading the drawers. There is no lint trap in the dryer, so there's a ton of old lint stuck to the dryer door (and feels like a fire hazard??). The sensor on the dryer does not work (thought a load was dry after less than 5 minutes), but you can used the timed dry no problem. There was a light out in the bathroom. Some dishes in the cabinets were dirty (not the host's fault necessarily). The cleaner arrived at 10:50am on our check-out day telling us check-out was at 10am, although the listing and all of my VRBO confirmations/communications listed 11am. My husband had to fix a toilet that was continuously running. Bottom line, it just didn't seem like it was worth what we paid for it. Oh well.

Awesome private indoor pool

Great place…very clean. We had a bat in the house when we came home from hiking on the second night that we stayed there. Before we got it out (alive) I called Ricky and left a message that we have a bat in his house but no return message or call or text. Not that he could really do anything about it but I thought he should know.

Unhappy and missled

Our family was very disappointed in this site! First we had no air conditioning which was not mentioned in the listing! Next I was assured by the host that the pool temperature was 84 degrees upon arriving it was not. I had to call the host and she sent a plumber out two days later. It never did get warm but kids can make due! It also said in listing it had a hot tub which is just a spa tub in bathroom. The upstairs is very old!!!! Spiders everywhere and the bathroom very unsafe! Shower floor sunk every time we stepped into it. Dirty carpet on floor and not all the sheets were clean so we had to launder them. Stove oven took 45 minutes to warm and being a gas stove we were quite leery of it. They offer a grill to use but when we went to grill it was out of gas. Yes we could have got some more but town was 30 minutes away! Pictures are very misleading and for this price, way too expensive! Bunkbed room is no larger than a closet and with no window so extremely hot! Double bedroom with a trundle has people walking through to go to pool! It was a bad experience and I hope the host will make some major improvements!
