We had a great stay! Location was very convenient to both Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, and there were also several great restaurants close by. The private beach was amazing - such a great place to watch the sunset, and the kids had a lot of fun tide pooling. The house was very clean and well equipped - thank you Robin for hosting!
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home. The listing was completely accurate and we felt like it was actually âbetter than advertisedâ. There was a short walk to the private beach and it was so picturesque. Easy drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia. Great food nearby, too, if you want to avoid the Bar Harbor crowds. The host was outstanding and we had a great experience in Maine at this home. Would definitely stay here again if we are fortunate enough to return to Mount Desert Island!
The home was perfect for our family vacation. It had all the amities we needed for a very comfortable stay. There were seven adults and plenty space for everyone. Access to a private beach was the best. The location was also great as we were not is the hustle and bustle of the tourists but had close access to the activities in Acadia and Bar Harbor. We all took home many wonderful memories of our stay in this home.
Great location. Just outside of park and in a quieter area than being right in the center of town. There is a bus stop near the main road for ease of getting into town. Listing mentions a hot tub which there wasnât. Weather was cool at night but just so you are aware there are fans in the home, but no A/C.
Home was just as described, very comfortable and close to town. The host checked on us and was there if we needed anything. Would definitely recommend.
What a great place in a perfect location!!! Easy quick drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor and the Bay right outside the back door!! The house is pristine and we felt so at home! Robyn was very kind to greet us and fill us in with tips of the area! I just did not want to leave!!! I want to be back there!!
Thank you Robyn for another wonderful stay. We enjoyed our daily plunges in the water and the wonderful sunsets on the beach and off the deck. Thank you also for telling us about the bioluminescence - unexpected treat!
We love to cook and the place is very well stocked!
Truly a gem of a spot. Thank you for helping with wonderful family memories!
One of the best vacation properties we have stayed
The house was very comfortable. Very tranquil and relaxing house and property. The views of the bay were awesome and the fall foliage added to the ambiance
It was so comfortable we ended up staying in a few nights instead of eating out
A great lobster pound was nearby
Robyn dropped by when we checked in to make sure we were familiar with the property. She was very nice
It was easy access to Acadia
We would definitely recommend staying there
A nice quiet location very near the water. A very complete kitchen and appliances to match. An easy drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor. The owner was friendly and helpful. We were just ahead of the fall color bloom, but it was lobster we were after, which the area restaurants fulfilled.
Property was wonderfully maintained in a beautiful quiet private setting on the water with its own beach. The balcony overlooking the water is large, with a table for dining large enough to accommodate all eight of us. It is situated a short drive to Bar Harbor (10 minutes) and 2 minutes from multiple restaurants and a great ice cream vendor. The host lives nearby and was quite attentive. There is a vendor for kayaks adjacent to the property, so can rent from them--though it would be great in the future if the property provided a couple of kayaks. Would definitely come back again
We just got back from a great family trip. The house was great for the 6 of us. We enjoyed the house, the beach, proximity to Bar Harbor and Acadia. The open space in and out were great. My kids and their boyfriends were able to work during the day (they all said the wifi worked well) and we played after. The reviews posted for this property are accurate and we hope to get back again. Thank you Robin for helping to extend our suummer!
The house was very comfortable - plenty of room for the 6 of us (adults). We had great weather, so enjoyed the deck & spending time on the beach (short walk from the house) - beautiful sunsets from beach & deck! The kitchen was well equipped. There were extra towels, beach towels & beach chairs plus washer & dryer.You can walk to the Deviâs Oven at low tide (caves) & the cottage colony nearby rent kayaks. Location was great - less than 10 minutes to Hulls Cove Visitors Center (park your car & take the bus - we used it to go to Jordan Pond & Sand Beach). The drive to Bar Harbor less than 15 minutes. Highly recommend Bar Harbor Lobster Pound that is close by. We enjoyed our stay & highly recommend this house!
Bottom line is we have a wonderful time and the house was wonderful. The best thing about the house is the location, back deck (we ate outside nearly every day), and proximity to the water. There are great restaurants nearby and the beach is just a couple minute walk away.
The listing said there was a hot tub, but it only has a normal tub. The kitchen has everything you would want, but the dishwasher didn't clean the dishes very well. Pleanty of dishes, cups and silverware. The smallest bedroom with a queen bed was not very comfortable. The room with the bunk bed and twin is really for children. My adult son found the bed uncomfortable. The rest of the beds were good. The furniture was solid and comfortable. We did not find any broken furniture. Internet was good. I was expecting lots of mosquitoes, but we hardly saw any.
Good stay but owner taking advantage of alleged damage!
Dining room chair had a seat that was loose. I left it off center so it could be reattached. Robin turned in a $1700 claim and I have not received my $200 waiver back. With 4 screws I could have reattached it as there was no damage. She will not return my phone call and I'll try to deal with this through the insurance company. I would be leery of staying with this owner in the future.
Our family really enjoyed our stay. The home is beautiful and a short walk to the ocean. We spent most of our time at Acadia and Bar Harbor. Our host was great and we all had a relaxing stay in this peaceful Maine home.
Home is very comfortable with all the necessities one would need. Location is ideal for accessing Acadia and the town of Bar Harbor. Very quiet location with an easy walk to the beach.
Wonderful house! Beautiful open kitchen, dining, living area with picture windows overlooking Eastern Bay. Four comfortable bedrooms. Access to incredible private beach. Great location. Attentive landlord. Weâll be back!
Great Location, Spacious Stunning Home Minutes from Acadia
We LOVED our stay at this awesome house just minutes from one of the entrances to Acadia. It was so convenient to our adventures in all directions, including downtown Bar Harbor. The bunk room was perfect for our three kids to share. Each adult couple, including my parents, my sister, and my husband and I, took another separate room with a queen bed. Two bathrooms so not too many fights over showers. Plenty of room in the driveway. We grilled, ate out on the deck, and then the indoor kitchen was well stocked and had plenty of room at the dining room table for all of us, too. I think some of the beds and pillows could use updating, but other than that, everything was absolutely perfect. A tub for getting the kids clean and a washer/dryer for cleaning up their messes. The beautiful shoreline is accessible via a path from the house, too, so we enjoyed sunsets from the shore as well as the deck, exploring sea caves and skipping rocks here. We stayed in late August and would love to return.
My dream was to build on this piece of family property. It has been in my family for many years . I have such fond memories of coming here as a child with my sisters and then bringing my family here. The cousins all have come here together for many summers. We still come together every year and the memories continue to build. The many grand children still run on the beach and go to each others cottage for snacks and meals. I cherish the gifts that summer brings when I am here. I especially love the laughter of the children. I live in Bangor and I come to this island as often as I can. I am so grateful to have my dream come true. I would like to offer this gift to you. Come and enjoy!
It is beautiful,quiet, peaceful and has a calming effect on the spirit. It is fun to play by the water and find things on the beach. The stars on the front deck are so bright they speak to the little kid in you.
