My family stayed here in early October, with a primary goal to visit Acadia National Park. The house was large and well suited to a family of 6. Beds were very comfy and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking, which we did every night. Taking the mailboat was easy, and fun for the kids, and the property manager helped with our luggage during check-in and check out. Aligning schedules between the mailboat and the island explorer (free shuttle to Acadia) was a bit of a logistics challenge, but worked out nicely. Next time i would probably ask for a slightly later check-out, as between checkout at 10 and the next mailboat at 1145, we had a bit of a gap where we brought our luggage to the dock and then played on the beach and the local playground. If weather had been bad we would have been soaked, but that was lack of foresight on my end. Overall, would highly recommend!
