* Please scroll down to see our flexible cancellation policy.


Perfectly located, we are less than a mile to Acadia National Park Visitor Center and the free Island Explorer shuttle, 2/10ths of a mile to the seashore, and 3 miles to Downtown Bar Harbor's shops and restaurants.

Located on a private lane in lovely little Hulls Cove, a short walk takes you to the little beach at Hulls Cove, and our 5 local businesses.

Neighboring Acadia National Park’s scenic carriage roads are unmatched for walking biking and horseback riding. Its breathtaking mountain trails for hiking, and its lovely lakes for swimming and canoeing.

There is a wonderful sense of history throughout this spacious house, but we also love modern conveniences and comfort and feel that it all works together beautifully.
There are ceiling fans in every room, those in the bedrooms team up with our cool summer nights for maximum sleeping comfort.

There are 3 upstairs bedrooms, each have a queen size bed with a wonderful original bed head (we left the foot boards off in consideration of our taller guests). Next to the bedrooms is the upstairs bathroom with its lovely original wood wainscoting, marble washstand and large walk-in tiled shower.

There are 2 bedrooms downstairs; ‘Windward' has one queen and one twin size sleigh bed, ‘Southerly’ has 2 x-long twin beds. A sleeper sofa in the very large living room offers additional sleeping for two.

The sizable downstairs bathroom has a walk-in shower. Our bed and bath linens are all 100% pure cotton and laundered with skin-sensitive products. Soap, tissues, make-up remover, Q-tips and toilet paper are found in each bathroom.

A half bath and laundry are also conveniently located downstairs.

There is seating for 8 around the oak ding table, and for 5 at the bar, plenty of dishes, silverware, and glassware. The kitchen is well stocked with cookware, useful spices, a lobster pot, and all the usual under the sink items.

Enjoy outdoor dining on the large wrap around deck, with 2 sets of patio doors it provides lots of space for relaxing and dining. The grill is gas, and the propane is provided. We are baby-ready with a pack 'n play, baby gates, highchair, and booster seat. The lawn is a perfect place for children to play safely.

This is a family property that has seen a lot of love over the years, and we are delighted to share it with you.

*Our flexible Cancellation Policy:
Very simply, if a guest wishes to cancel their reservation, they will receive a full refund if or when those reservation dates re-book. If the dates do not re-book the deposit will not be refunded but we will offer a credit for a future booking.

The Captain's House was fantastic for our recent family vacation. It was very spacious, clean, and well-equipped. It is also in a great location to enjoy different activities in Acadia and on MDI. We loved being able to walk to Hull's Cove. The host was very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. We would stay here again in an instant!

We had a wonderful stay at this vacation rental! The location couldn’t be better—just minutes from Acadia National Park and downtown Bar Harbor, making it so easy to explore and enjoy everything the area has to offer. The home itself was spotless, spacious, and stocked with every amenity we could possibly need. After long days of hiking and sightseeing, we loved gathering around the kitchen table to play games together—it truly felt like a home away from home. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

The house was exactly what our family needed. A beautiful vase of fresh flowers and a welcome note really made us feel welcome. It was super comfortable, kitchen and eating area was great and outstde porches were a great place for coffee in the morning. Entire property and house was spotlessly clean. The beds were comfortable and the linens and towels provided were top notch. Also appreciated the amenities in the bathrooms (soap, body wash, Q tips facial wipes) Location is exactly where you want to be to go to Acadia . We traveled with my 20 month old granddaughter so being close to Acadia and the town center was key. This house and the host is family friendly and I would return and would also give more than 5 stars if I could!

Quiet stay

We had a great experience here. With four adults and four kids 6 and under, it was spacious and served all our needs. The family lives behind the property and we didn’t see them at all, which didn’t bother us, but is certainly worth noting. The property owners were communicative and the house was sparkling clean.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The location is excellent, just minutes from Acadia NP. Our host was friendly and communicated well. I wanted to rate the home 5/5, but I had some concerns that the door leading to the cellar does not lock, and the outside crawl space/cellar door —though pinned shut with a screw or square nail—was not locked, which is a safety issue for me. The front door does not have a deadbolt, which concerned me. The side porch is a bit wobbly, too. Some of the window blinds need to be replaced. If these issues were addressed, the home would be 5/5. It is beautiful and historical, which I loved.

Awesome, beautiful property with wonderful character.It was so very spacious and with everything we could possibly need and more!We had 8 adults and 4 children and we were able to close off the bedroom part of the house so that the adults did not have to worry about disturbing the sleeping children! The kitchen is set up to be very workable with multiple cooks and space for the kids to observe.The yard is lovely and we enjoyed the chickens and ducks next door.(from a respectful distance.)Trish was great with the check in and also came by to check on us. Best of all, the location is extremely close to Acadia and to Bar Harbor. There is even a small beach witihn walking distance at Hull's Cove.We would love to stay again.
