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.
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.
We really enjoyed our time at this property. The home is even nicer in person, and the location is wonderful. The rock beach is spectacular and the sunsets were amazing. Very close proximity to the park enterance where you can catch the park bus, and just a 10 minute drive to downtown Bar Harbor. We would definitely stay at this property again and have already recommended it to friends and family.
Lovely house-We had seven adults staying with plenty of room to share meals or spread out and relax. Beach access was wonderful. We were close enough for easy access to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Would stay again.
Coles Cove was the perfect property for a family visit to Bar Harbor. Robin has created a home away from home, which allowed us to enjoy the week exploring, relaxing, and making memories. We especially enjoyed the location complete with a private beach and easy access to town. Our favorites included C-Ray Lobster and the hike at Jordan Pond. We will be back!
Fall Acadia Adventure with Adult Daughters and Partners
This was our family's first time visiting Maine. My husband and I visited with our two adult daughters and their partners. We all loved the location of the property. Quick drive into Bar Harbor for shopping and dining. Easy access to Acadia via the Hull's Cove entrance which allowed us to visit nearly every day of our week long stay. The short walk to the private beach from the house and access to The Ovens rock features during low tide was an unexpected plus. We loved cooking meals in the kitchen and eating together in the open plan family area downstairs. Great places to relax, read, play games and work puzzles. Wifi was excellent for the adults who worked remotely during the weekdays. Robin came by the day of arrival to see if we had questions and to offer suggestions. She was available by text or phone if we had any other questions or issues. The largest bathroom is downstairs from the bedrooms, which was a bit inconvenient with six adults, but staggered shower times and a bit of flexibility with schedules helped. Overall the property is excellent, looks exactly as it is shown in the listing and worked well for our family group.
Lovely location, very comfortable for our family group. Nice large deck with grill, views to sea inlet very nice and only a short distance to private beach, would advise beach shoes as a little stony.
The house was very well equipped only drawback was the ice maker and water not working on fridge freezer and also dishwasher out of action.
Quiet neighborhood but very convenient to access Bar Harbor and all the rest of the island. We really had a great time and would definitely stay there again.
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.
