Oceanfront Cottage - Vues spectaculaires minutes du parc national de l'Acadie

Super property - with more amenities than home in some ways.

Super clean.

Very easy communication with owners and agents.

So worth the dollars - even without a discount due to construction next door. We really only "heard" the workers twice in a week.

Perfectly situated on the quiet side of the island. Park, Bar harbor only 25+ mins away.

Great views [we even saw a Harbor Porpoise on evening.

Great breezes in the evening!

Awesome LL Bean towels and huge W/D to keep them fresh.

Well stocked pantry with simple rule of replace what you use!

Would recommend to ANYONE - We were 4 adults! Plenty of room for 2 - 8 easily.

Great guides and suggestion binder waiting on the table - Well used!! Well appreciated!

Thank you Stuarts!!

Trust the description - it is spot on. We couldn't have been more pleased with our 1st VRBO experience. The location was perfect - less than 30 minute drive gets you anywhere on MDI - Bar Harbor, Acadia Loop access - 10 minute drive gets you to Bass Harbor Lighthouse, Southwest Harbor, Seawall picnic area. If you don't want to drive there are several walking trails right from the cottage. Every morning we would sit outside on either the deck or ocean side bench and watch the lobstermen tend to their traps. At night we would have cocktails while watching some incredible sunsets (cove location faces west). As for the cottage it was obvious that the owners and renters treated the cottage with respect. It was clean, well organized, and roomier than we thought it would be. From linens to dishes to games we wanted for nothing. Couple that with great weather, wildlife (harbor porpoise, seals and mackerel come in on the high tide) and family time we couldn't have asked for more.

Coming back to the house last summer was as wonderful as before, but this time around we were able to explore even more of the "quiet side" of the island where the house is located. There are some great hikes and gorgeous views to be found in these lesser-traveled parts of the Island, and these are especially welcome during the busy months! The wildlife was in full view, with Ospreys, Eagles, and all kinds of migratory birds in evidence right off the front deck. The home is as comfortable as we remember, with plenty of room for everyone and literally all the comforts of home. The new TV and upgraded wifi/internet access were highly appreciated additions! It's hard to beat the glorious view from this property, and coupled with the incredibly diverse range of outdoor adventures available on the Island, we start thinking about when to return before we even get home.

We had an incredible stay at this wonderful family home! The home is equipped with all the essentials and then some, and is thoughtfully designed and laid out to maximize both the interior and exterior space. The bedrooms and sleeping arrangements are very comfortable and allow for excellent privacy and separation for kids and other guests. Full baths upstairs and on the main floor are a welcome touch for a big group, too! The wraparound deck has unobstructed water views that are nothing short of stunning. (And the cozy deck off the master suite lets you wake up to the same beautiful views!) A short a walk down to the shoreline affords picture perfect sunsets that will surely become a "not-to-be-missed" part of your day! There is ample parking, and the outside of the property is beautifully maintained. There are seemingly endless outdoor activities all around Mount Desert Island, with the home being very convenient to several parts of Acadia National Park. The hiking, kayaking, and biking are simply some of the best we have experienced anywhere. We loved the location of this property on the "quiet side" of the island, and the drive to Bar Harbor for shopping, dining, and other activities is an easy one. We will certainly be back!

I keep returning to this rental as it feels like a home away from home. The location is outstanding, with access to views of the water and sunsets. The listing description is accurate and the amenities are more than advertised. The house is exceptionally well organized and maintained. Walk in and you are home.The house is outfitted with all your needs from bedding to binoculars. The kitchen has everything you have at home including all dishes, wraps, seasonings, pots and pans. Even a lobster pot. Bring nothing, just replace what you use. Everything is well taken care of, clean and comfortable. Close to all activities in the area. Local hikes/walks, rocky beaches etc. Allows you to enjoy the Acadia experience but you set your own pace. Enjoy!!
