This is a beautiful, very special property, so happy we stayed in Hancock. Easy drive to Bar Harbor and all parts of Acadia but away from the crowds. Easy access to beauty of Schoodic Peninsula, too. We felt like we were in the coziest of cottages, had everything we needed, super comfortable beds, just a perfect place right on the water. Would absolutely stay here again, thank you to a great host, Susan was wonderful to work with!

Wonderful stay! We wanted to escape our busy lives for a few days. Hoped for a quiet, peaceful and scenic place- that’s exactly what we got. Enjoyed coffee while looking out at the mountain and water. Had everything we needed. Wish we could’ve stayed longer! Communication was great, too. Would book this place again!

Our stay at this beachfront property could not have been better. Clean, comfortable, easy check in, right on the water! We loved seeing the sunrise and sunset over the water and got a bonus watching the seals come close to shore to feed just before sunset - amazing! My only suggestion to future travelers is to find the property before dark - it was a little tougher to find but that was our fault for coming in late. So worth it - quiet, peaceful, right on the water, we could fish from the dock and watch the wildlife. Plus, the location made it easy for us to enjoy the Schoodic Peninsula one day and Mount Desert Island the following day, without being right in the midst of the traffic and crowds of Bar Harbor.

Very charming property with a quiet, serene setting. You get to spend your morning drinking coffee watching the lobster boats make their rounds. Bring binoculars and you may see harbor seals eating breakfast or dinner as well.

My husband and I loved our weeklong stay at this small well-equipped home overlooking the sparkling water, the lobster men at work, the beautiful seabirds, and the amazing tides. We loved the quiet and solitude but also enjoyed the numerous nearby hikes, excellent seafood, and scenic views/local history. The bedrooms and living room were clean and comfortable; the kitchen was perfect for two of us. The deck and fire pit were ideal for appreciating our surroundings. Our host, Susan, was attentive and available if needed. We were grateful for the opportunity to use the washer/dryer for clean clothes. We will miss Maine and plan to return.

Thank you for allowing us to spend a week in paradise! The house was clean and comfortable, supplied to meet all our needs, and the communication with the host was wonderful always with a kind and quick response. We enjoyed sitting outside taking in the gorgeous view, making s’mores over the fire and watching the seal swim. It was our first time to Maine and these accommodations were truly fantastic!! We will certainly return someday.

We loved our stay here! Close enough to everything, but a quiet retreat at the end of the day. We stayed with our toddlers (check with the host for young kids), and it was a great spot for outdoor education - we spent a lot of time on the rocks exploring and learning. The host is a rental agency so they were very prompt and professional with communication. I would recommend confirming ahead of time if you are counting on any kid amenities - we were able to rent an extra pack-and-play super easily! Overall 10/10 would recommend, would stay again.

The view is amazing! A lot of wildlife, was even able to watch a seal in the water most days! We had an issue with the door latching and locking initially, however, this was fixed the next day. Kitchen had everything that was needed. Shower could use some work but had good water pressure. Cabin had air conditioners and kept cool on hot days. Truly a special stay and not too far to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Enjoyed having privacy without sharing the immediate area. Spacious outdoor area!

This property was everything we wanted: Somewhat remote-on the Maine coast-beautiful views (I mean awesome views)-saw seals, deer, and birds-not cost a king's ransom to rent. We loved the quiet, peaceful location. The accommodations were clean and neat and the kitchen was well stocked. The best part was a stocked firewood bin. This location has a nice little fire pit area, which is very common in a lot of places, but his place had a supply of CUT firewood available to use. Even though we only had one fire and only used a few pieces, I thought it was a very kind gesture to have wood right there for guests to use. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful 3 night stay. The check in process was smooth and it was easy to communicate with host if needed. The house was as pictured/described but the property itself was even better than we anticipated. Gorgeous views, private, sunset and beautiful day and night skies. We enjoyed watching the boats check the lobster traps each morning. The shower is small as pictured but the water pressure was great. The location was nice for our trips to Acadia and Bar Harbor. We loved being away from the crowds but close to grocery stores and restaurants. The host provided everything we needed for our family vacation. Would definitely stay again!

Lobster Boats, Seagulls, and Seals, Oh My!

Piece of Maine coast heaven. Couldn't stop saying WOW! Lobster boats pulling their traps right in front of the house and as far as you can see up and down the bay. Caught mackeral from my canoe. Saw at least a dozen seals on the rocks and swimming around my canoe. You can see Cadillac Mtn from the fire pit! So quiet! Only saw 3 or 4 pleasure boats the entire week. We'll be back!
