I've been procrastinating writing this review because I'm having trouble finding adequate words to describe our stay at this beautiful vacation home. As soon as we arrived, the property took our breath away! We didn't even make it inside before we walked down the path between the not yet ready blueberry bushes, past the fireplace and hammock to the amazing rocky shore. Once we actually made it inside, we were in awe once again. You can see the thought and love that was put into every inch of this home. We love the many personal touches, the cool old radios, the piles of books, the quirky small details everywhere we looked. Each of us enjoyed time reading in the daybed, sitting on the porch swing, and relaxing on the deck off the bedrooms. One night, we were treated to a rough sea and waved crashing off the rocks! Even though nights were chilly, we slept with the windows open to enjoy the sound of the waves. I still miss that at night. The gas fireplace was perfect to take the chill out of the house in the mornings, and on that one rainy day. It's so quiet and peaceful, yet close enough to everything we needed. I made sure to enjoy my morning coffee on the rocks every day. Once, I was even treated to the company of a baby seal, waiting for his mom to return!
The beds were comfy, there's great water pressure in the shower, however watch out for water temperature, when it's on hot, it seems to keep getting hotter. When we arrived, we found that the front door had a hinge issue, which really wasn't a big deal, since the keys work on the side door, but David had someone out to fix it the next morning, anyway.
There is so much to explore within an hour or so in either direction. The nearby Schoodic section of Acadia was simply amazing. We ventured to Bar Harbor and the main part of Acadia twice, took a scenic flight over Bar Harbor, which we highly recommend, headed in the other direction to check out Jasper Beach and McCllellan Parks, and spent a couple of days exploring the local area. There was so much more that we didn't have time to do, so I think we're going to need another trip to the area in the future. Hopefully Breezy Point Cottage is available to us next time! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful vacation home with us.
