It's hard to know where to start - the cottage is beautiful, fully equipped with everything you need to cook, relax and enjoy both inside and out. The deck is amazing with a view of the rocky shore, refreshing ocean and surrounding islands, etc. We were able to walk across the sandbar at low tide to the island and gather shells and driftwood, unbelieveable! There is a working lighthouse in the distance and many more within a short ride. The house was ready early so we were able to check in earlier than expected which was awesome! I knew when we walked in the door we would not want to leave. We spent as much time possible at the cottage and on the beach, although we did venture out to a couple local restaurants for lobster and all the goodies! Also be sure to visit the local parks - Acadia National Park near Bar Harbor and Schoodic Point in Winter Harbor offer exceptional views of the ocean and it's power. We saw whales off the coast near Cadillac Mountain and were amazed by the starfish in the ponds on the rocks waiting for high tide. When it was time to leave, we were sad and jealous of the ones that would come after us, but only until we can return again - and we will return again! Do not hesitate to book this cottage, you will not be disappointed but rather mesmerized by the sights and sounds that can only be found there, in Corea, ME. Thank you to Dan and Melissa for offering so many the opportunity to experience perfection at it's finest!
