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.

House was accurately described, very spacious, close to Acadia National Park & Bar Harbor. Plenty of parking and sleeping spaces to choose from. If we're ever back to the area, we'll definitely check to see if this place is available!
This is a wonderful property!! It was the perfect base for exploring Acadia National Park. The house was very clean and had everything we needed! Plenty of dishes, silverware, storage container, pans and even some sandwich bags. Plastic wrap and foil. There were even some spices to use. We had a great stay!!
This house was so nice, clean & comfortable! There was plenty of space for our party of 6- it’s bigger than it looks in the photos. The beds were very comfortable. Plenty of paper products, nice linens and towels, extra amenities in the bathroom (qtips, face wipes). The location is perfect- close to Bar Harbor but away from the hubbub and walking distance to the ocean and a couple restaurants.We especially enjoyed watching the chickens, ducks, turkeys and deer through the kitchen slider!

Chrissy and her family were a joy to have staying with us, we would love love to see them again any time
Group of 12. Plenty of room. Awesome location. Close to everything, but out of the traffic. House is well stocked for anything you need. Parking for three cars was perfect. Great stay, would recommend.
Maine was having warmer temps then usual. The house doesnt have a/c, but more then enough fans. The host, miss Trisha, met us one day and we got to speak with her. She is a vert sweet lady, and if we needed anything, she was right there to take care of it. The location is great, the price was great, and my family and i had a blast in maine!
The cottage was cute, well-appointed and very functional. Well stocked with virtually everything that we needed. Secluded so it was quiet, yet close (minutes) to Bar Harbor proper. Able to do some star gazing on cloudless nights from the back deck. GPS recognized the address which was very beneficial. Had 7 adults staying there and didn't have any trouble with hot water supply. Tower fans and cross ventilation with open windows alleviated the need for AC even during an August trip,
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!
Great house. Perfect location. While on the property you feel as if you are in the middle of nowhere, yet, you are close to Bar Harbor and Acadia Nation Park. Perfection.
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!
Our group absolutely adored this precious historic home. The kitchen and baths were fully stocked and the beds were super comfy.
We would definitely stay here again. The owner, Trish, was a little gem.
We really enjoyed our stay. The owner provided all basic needs (paper towels, toilet paper, etc.) which was awesome because we traveled from PA to ME and we didn't have to pack these items. The house was in a great location and a nice size for our family and friends. We hope to go back sometime.
Property worked perfectly to explore nearby Acadia and Bar Harbor. House was in clean and neat shape, worked exactly how it was supposed to. We would definitely stay again.
We had a wonderful time and loved this location. We were able to easily get to Acadia National Park and enjoyed biking and hiking. The house was roomy and comfortable, and we loved relaxing on the porch
We filled the house with family and felt very comfortable. Beautiful home, well cared for. We even enjoyed wiffleball in the back yard. So close to Acadia and Bar Harbor. We really enjoyed it.
