70th Birthday at Acadia
The property was immaculate and well prepared for visitors. All light switches were well labeled. There were 3 or 4 kayaks plus a paddle board. There were fishing poles for the kids. There was plenty of storage, 2 refrigerators, and comfortable seating in all common areas.

Amazing view
We spent five nights and had an incredible time. Nothing beats the view or the location for us. This was our third stay in this house, first since the renovations. The home is beautiful, comfortable and everything has been thought of. The deck/dock was relaxing and that is where we spent our time when at the house. It offers amazing views of the wildlife and and the peacefulness of watching high and low tide was perfection. Lastly, the location was spot on. A quick 15 minute drive to all the major attractions of Acadia and downtown Bar Harbor. The host was helpful and always available for questions. We can’t wait to return.

Incredible views!
We enjoyed our stay. Robard was very helpful and offered great recommendations. The house had everything we needed. The views are amazing. We could have spent the week just watching the birds right outside the window. Beds are comfortable, and the house is in s great location.

Great for adult groups
This property with 3 bedrooms and 3 baths was perfect for three couples. The location is great, and you can bird right from the dining room. The only negative was some of the sheets were a little rough/pilled. Would stay here again.

Perfect spot!
We were so very happy that we chose to stay here! The home is located in a beautiful area directly on the sound. Easy driving to Acadia, Bar Harbor and other surrounding towns. Convenient to grocery store. Our hosts gave us wonderful information that was so helpful. The home is very comfortable and clean. Beds were comfy with great bedding. Bathrooms stocked with very nice towels.The kitchen is well stocked for those who like to cook. Gas grill on the dock and beautiful fire pit for evenings outside. Kayaks and paddle boards including life vests were a big hit! We would definitely stay here again!

Lovely stay
Hosts are extremely communicative and welcoming, giving lots of tips and tricks and recommendations to explore. Great central location, close to Acadia. Beautiful view when the tide is in, and loved having the use of kayaks at our fingertips.
