Beautiful cozy cottage with all the amenities we needed. Has a great view and entertaining wildlife on the water. We were visited by ducks, loons, gulls, eagles, and otters in our short stay. The hosts were very helpful and everything was as stated or better.

I wish words could explain our experience. It was truly magical. It’s was so peaceful and tranquil. The scenery from the deck over the water was breathtaking. The house felt very loving and peaceful. My wife and 2 kids felt very secure and happy there which means everything. The host was great and you could tell that hospitality JS very important to them. We will be back, cannot wait to see the lobster boats again some day.

This cottage is so charming, clean and cozy. Very thoughtful and comfortable decor. Brand new appliances in the well equipped kitchen. Neighborhood is incredibly quiet and relaxing, and close to many great restaurants in Corea and Winter Harbor area. The views of the ocean on both sides of cottage are incredible. Owner is very fast to respond to questions. A 25 min drive to Schoodic Point or just over an hour to main part of Acadia on MDI. Gorgeous coastline and hikes all around the area. Highly recommend!!!

The hosts had excellent communication! Loved that they honor veterans with a discount as well. The home was absolutely amazing! If you want to just stay and relax, there are amazing views from the couches, the deck, and the yard. To watch the sunrise and the moon come up from the deck was a true gift. The amenities were great as well. Nicely stocked kitchen, games for the family, hygiene products in bathroom to include things you don't normally get like q-tips and make remover cloths. We came when the average temperature was 45 degrees. The heating system and gas fireplace all worked great and kept us plenty warm. They provide a seafood cookng pot with propane burner outside, which came in handy. The Corea Lobster Co-Op is 3 miles away and you get fresh lobster, right off the boat, for an amazing price!! If you want to get out, there are villages and towns all very close and of course, the beautiful Acadia National Park! Thank you for a great stay!

Such a special place

We just got back from a great family vacation at Compass Point. It was perfect for our family of 4- cozy and so thoughtfully appointed. Being on the water was incredible- my kids climbed all over the rocks and found crabs and other tide pool critters and we enjoyed wine and sunsets on the deck. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed. It's definitely on the "quiet side" so you may want to bring some provisions, but it was also nice to be away from crowds in MDI. It is a special place and we hope to return.

The PERFECT Getaway!

We found Compass Point Cottage on VRBO, and the pictures (while BEAUTIFUL) don’t compare to what you’ll see in person. The cottage is situated in your own private Maine paradise- close enough to Bar Harbor to enjoy the fun activities available, but far enough away to enjoy peace, quiet, and the raw coastal beauty Maine has to offer. We sipped our coffees on the back deck overlooking the bay each morning, and cozied up around the bonfire at night. The hosts thought of every detail possible to make your stay special and so very comfortable. A truly remarkable experience.

Every single part of our stay was perfect!! Our host was kind, warm, accessible and so kind!! The house itself had such attention to detail for hospitality. The fire pit, the chairs, the blankets, it was all so perfect! The only thing I wish I could change would have been to make my stay MUCH longer. Highly recommend this place! P.S. if you stay here check out the Fisherman’s Wharf for great fresh caught seafood!

Magical and serene getaway

We had an awesome time at Compass Point. The owners promptly answered our questions before we arrived. The house is only a few miles from the Schoodick Peninsula and we were able to ride our bikes. We absolutely loved the location, about an hour north of Acadia. We enjoyed the oceanside firepit and the astronomy platform. We saw the Milky Way and a shooting star! The house was immaculate and had everything we needed. We would love to come back.

Well appointed cottage in a beautiful spot!

Compass Point is situated in a truly stunning location. We were able to to seamlessly ease into vacation mode as soon as we arrived. This cottage has everything you need so that you do not need to worry about running out to the store. In the morning, we enjoyed coffee on the deck watching loons, arctic terns, and eagles. The propane hookup allowed us to cook our own lobsters, which we enjoyed at the picnic table with a breathtaking view. The evening involved star gazing and s'mores at the firepit. We enjoyed all the amenities and will be back! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.

About the host

Hosted by Alice Workman

Host profile image
My husband, Stewart. and I are both true Mainers. Born and raised in Bar Harbor and Prospect Harbor, we met on Stewart's deep-sea fishing tour over 25 years ago. Since then, we've created a beautiful family of 6 together and have established one of Downeast Maine's premiere boat building companies. We love to travel and explore whenever possible. For years we've used vacation rentals as our go-to places to stay...having a, "home away from home" makes a vacation all that more special! Our goal in creating our vacation rentals was to offer our guests a few things that's often lacked in our renting experience: fast responses, unique accommodations, and hosts who genuinely care about your stay. From the moment of confirming your reservation to long after you depart, we want you to feel the effort that was put into your stay and the appreciation we have for your reservation.
