Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The place was in a perfect area away from the excitement of the Bar Harbor July 4th mayhem. We absolutely loved the location and got to explore parts of the island not often visited. That said, the house layout was a bit unique, and with our kids being five and under, we wouldn't have minded a "heads up." There was pleasant yet fragile decor everywhere, including the baby grand piano. After the initial excitement wore off, we were able to manage well.The third floor is a full bedroom without a door and this is where the only TV lives. Not a huge deal but good to know. Temperature was well-maintained, and we were very appreciative of the black-out shades. The other bedrooms are "normal size" and below the main living space.The private dock was a 3-5 minute walk away. Not sure if we were "allowed" to jump into the sound, but we couldn't find out because without a ladder, I wasn't sure how to get back out of the water (the bank is rock too).Overall, beautiful home and fantastic location, but I'd just advise it's not for a typical family with wee ones.
