Loved Maine

We loved Maine. It was the first time many of us had been there. The check in and out were easy and stress free. The host communicated well. The bay tides were amazing!! With high tide happening at 6 am and 6 pm we did not have many opportunities to use the boats because we were often sleeping or out exploring at Bar Harbor which was an hour by ferry or by car. We had fun exploring Acadia park that was on the peninsula too. No curtains did make for an interesting experience with the sun rising by 4 am. While no neighbors could peak in, curtains for privacy and sleep would have been nice. The basement bedroom was musty and not cleaned well. I would not recommend it for anyone with allergies. The drive from the main road to the house took another 10 minutes at least. If you are looking for remote, this is the place to be. Hope this is helpful to you!

Misleading

The seclusion of the house was nice and we determined to enjoy our vacation despite being misled on this rental. When we made the reservation we made it for the days we wanted to be in the area which happened to be Thursday to Thursday, not Saturday to Saturday. The reservation went through as did the payment then later we received an email asking us to change our reservation to Saturday to Saturday. We didn’t respond because I was in the hospital and by the time I was home we had received an email stating they are cancelling the reservation. If your site lets us make the reservation and processes the payment, you should have to honor that. We dealt with it and moved on. The worst part was how the Map section of their page states it is 11.2 miles to Bar Harbor Whale Watching, and therefore 11.2 miles to Bar Harbor. This is NOT the case. (unless maybe by boat) It is 70 miles from this house to Bar Harbor. Another thing – we have rented many houses all over the east coast in the past and NEVER was it stated we should take our trash with us when we leave. You clean up and put the trash in the large bins to be removed on the next trash day. We’ve seen trash already in bins upon check-in and never gave it a thought – why would you expect your travelling clients to take garbage with them?? We are paying to use the rental and that includes garbage service. Nowhere does it state anything about the garbage until after you make the reservations. Do not book unless you do not mind the owners making changes and adding rules after you make the reservation. We would NOT book with them again.

A wonderful get away if your looking for peace and quiet and nature. Perfect for our family of 10!

The owner was very available. Entrance to the house was easy. Relaxation and use of Kayaks are the main features of this property. And of course, the night sky was breathtaking. The little harbor towns are quaint but the best find was the Wharf Gallery & Grill in Corea!! Best Lobster Grilled Cheese Sandwiches!! Actually, everything they offered was good. And access to Schoodic Park of Acadia National Park so great!! Only minutes away!! Made some lifetime memories here for my family of 10.

Wonderful place

Our stay was wonderful, way off the beaten path , secluded with perfect location. Only flaw was the beds were uncomfortable with plywood instead of boxsprings but still OK. Everything else was perfect. Thank you.

About the host

Hosted by Pam Monaco

We built this home in 2006 when we fell in love with the land. It has been only ever a second home for us, and lately, we can not get up very often as we live in Philadelphia. I am a professor at a large university in the city with 6 kids who grew up loving these vacations but are now late teens/early twenties and not as interested.

Why they chose this property

The land and air and sea are intoxicating! The smell of the pine and sea, the gentle lapping of the waves against the shore, this house and land are complete serenity. If you are looking for a solid nature retread, this house is for you. We have three kayaks available, a single and two doubles one with a third jump seat for a child in the center of it. Information about using them will be given when booked. the house is beautiful and spacious, almost every window overlooks the water.

What makes this property unique

You would be hard-pressed to find a more serene and peaceful getaway on the water and five acres of wooded land. Situated near the Schoodic Peninsula portion of Acadia National Park, and nestled in among quaint Maine seaport villages, this is a property that will still your heart.
