There are 3 upstairs bedrooms, each have a queen size bed with a wonderful original bed head (we left the foot boards off in consideration of our taller guests). Next to the bedrooms is the upstairs bathroom with its lovely original wood wainscoting, marble washstand and large walk-in tiled shower.

A half bath and laundry are also conveniently located downstairs.
There is seating for 8 around the oak ding table, and for 5 at the bar, plenty of dishes, silverware, and glassware. The kitchen is well stocked with cookware, useful spices, a lobster pot, and all the usual under the sink items.

The Captain's House was fantastic for our recent family vacation. It was very spacious, clean, and well-equipped. It is also in a great location to enjoy different activities in Acadia and on MDI. We loved being able to walk to Hull's Cove. The host was very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. We would stay here again in an instant!
Great house. Perfect location. While on the property you feel as if you are in the middle of nowhere, yet, you are close to Bar Harbor and Acadia Nation Park. Perfection.
We had a wonderful stay at this vacation rental! The location couldn’t be better—just minutes from Acadia National Park and downtown Bar Harbor, making it so easy to explore and enjoy everything the area has to offer. The home itself was spotless, spacious, and stocked with every amenity we could possibly need. After long days of hiking and sightseeing, we loved gathering around the kitchen table to play games together—it truly felt like a home away from home. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!
Perfect location very close to Bar Harbor, Acadia entrance, and walking distance to lovely Hulls Cove and restaurants. Well kept home. Very comfy beds and bedding, kitchen very well stocked, and lots of space for our party of 10. Host is responsive and kind. Would be happy to return.
We had a great experience here. With four adults and four kids 6 and under, it was spacious and served all our needs. The family lives behind the property and we didn’t see them at all, which didn’t bother us, but is certainly worth noting. The property owners were communicative and the house was sparkling clean.
Our group absolutely adored this precious historic home. The kitchen and baths were fully stocked and the beds were super comfy.
We would definitely stay here again. The owner, Trish, was a little gem.
Property worked perfectly to explore nearby Acadia and Bar Harbor. House was in clean and neat shape, worked exactly how it was supposed to. We would definitely stay again.
We really enjoyed our stay. The owner provided all basic needs (paper towels, toilet paper, etc.) which was awesome because we traveled from PA to ME and we didn't have to pack these items. The house was in a great location and a nice size for our family and friends. We hope to go back sometime.
We filled the house with family and felt very comfortable. Beautiful home, well cared for. We even enjoyed wiffleball in the back yard. So close to Acadia and Bar Harbor. We really enjoyed it.
We had a wonderful time and loved this location. We were able to easily get to Acadia National Park and enjoyed biking and hiking. The house was roomy and comfortable, and we loved relaxing on the porch
It was wonderful, we especially loved the kitchen (they even had a garlic press and zester!) beautiful dishes so we stayed in two nights and cooked vs going out. We also loved the porch!
It was fun to see chickens and ducks roaming around too, we really enjoyed it and will recommend this property
The house was exactly what our family needed. A beautiful vase of fresh flowers and a welcome note really made us feel welcome. It was super comfortable, kitchen and eating area was great and outstde porches were a great place for coffee in the morning. Entire property and house was spotlessly clean. The beds were comfortable and the linens and towels provided were top notch. Also appreciated the amenities in the bathrooms (soap, body wash, Q tips facial wipes) Location is exactly where you want to be to go to Acadia . We traveled with my 20 month old granddaughter so being close to Acadia and the town center was key. This house and the host is family friendly and I would return and would also give more than 5 stars if I could!
Nice house with a great location close to downtown Bar Harbor but in a secluded location. Nice yard and large deck. House had all amenities and was large and comfortable.
My husband and I, along with another couple, thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Sea Captain's house.
The house was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The location is great as well, very close to downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park.
And communication with the owner was excellent!
I highly recommend this vacation rental!
My family of 10 (grandparents, parents, kids) stayed here and had a wonderful time. The house was more than big enough and is in a great location to downtown and the park. The kids had plenty of room to play inside and out. The kitchen is a nice space. All amenities are in great condition.
