The house was exactly as listed - everything we needed. Loved the access to the private beach. Easy driving distance to sightseeing, but a quiet retreat after a day’s activities.

Newer house with really nice view from deck! Close to cute town of Blue Hill and only about an hour to Bangor or Bar Harbor. Each bedroom had a private bathroom and beds were very comfy. Kitchen was stocked nicely. Def recommend!

We had a wonderful time staying at this property. The house is in a beautiful location and was the perfect size for our family. I already have recommended this property to friends!

This home was the perfect spot for us to explore the coast of Maine for the first time. The town of Blue Hill is close by and has anything you might need for your stay. Acadia NP/Bar Harbor area is only about 40min drive and easy to access for a day trip. The benefits to staying here is that you’re right on a quiet little cove. With access to the beach and great views. Plus the home is so immaculate. Really. It had everything and everything was good quality and in great working order. Better than any rental home I’ve ever stayed in. To the reviewer who put the cove beach in a negative light- the access says ‘private’ but we found we shared it with cars who parked along the road across the street from the house- but never on our side of the road. We were here Labor Day weekend and never thought a few visitors to be a hindrance to us or our enjoyment of the beach and view. We would certainly stay in this house again given the chance to return to Maine. We thought it was very quiet with a good mix of town activity. If you’re on the fence about staying here- I highly recommend it!

My wife, adult son and I had a wonderful time at the house. It was spotless; the appliances were all up to date. The porch faces a salt-water cove where you can wade or swim. At night, there is no light polluting the sky. When you look up, it's like having your own private planetarium. It took us a while the first night to realize the "cloud" above us was the Milky Way. Because there are abundant woods nearby, hummingbird feedrs would be a nice addition.

This was the perfect house for our family reunion get away. The location in East Blue Hill, across from Curtis Cove was the hub of activity. The layout was perfect. The deck has amazing views and each bedroom having its own bath is the cherry on the top.

AVOID THIS PROPERTY! Our stay was RUINED by the HOST of this property. She lives next door and came over 4 times in the first 24 hours. She was nasty from the start because we interpreted her house rules no pet policy to mean no pets in the house. Since the weather is beautiful in August, the dogs were content to remain outside in their kennels when they were not walking with us on the beach or swimming in the ocean. Our daughter even slept outside with them one night because the house was too hot. The host at first did not believe we would not bring them in the house. Once she realized that we were serious about them remaining outside, rather than be relieved at our respect for her home, she tried to extort additional cash from us. Since asking for cash is against the VRBO policy for money transactions, we contacted VRBO for support, and the host responded by cancelling our reservation mid-week and refusing a refund. It was obvious that this was about money not the dogs because she allowed them to stay for three days before kicking us out because we contacted VRBO rather than pay her cash. We still question what the cash was for if the dogs were remaining outside. There was no cleaning needed, no damage was done to the yard, and we picked up after the dogs when we walked them. One dog was even a SERVICE DOG, but she didn’t care that our keeping him outside was out of respect for her home. According to VRBO policy, we could have brought him into the house without notifying her, but we chose to keep him outside. Our dogs NEVER ENTERED HER HOUSE. We also took our shoes off when entering the house and left it clean when we departed, despite the abrupt way in which our vacation was cancelled mid-week. We still washed the dishes, removed the bedding and emptied the fridge as expected upon departure. The house itself could be improved with air conditioning and a space for renters to keep their food. All the cabinets were full to the point where you felt someone had left for the day and was going to return. Our stuff had to remain on the counter. The TV did not work well. It had a blurry double image, so we used our own devices instead. The beach is not private but is frequented by many people. Cars parked up and down the road at all hours of the day and night. If you are looking for a quiet get-away where you can be left alone, PICK ANOTHER PLACE.

I can't begin to express how beautiful this property and its private beach are. The house is clean, perfectly laid out and has everything you need for a week away from home. The views of the private beach are spectacular. My daughters loved exploring the beach during low tide. We saw eagles and loons regularly and witnessed one of the most beautiful sunsets we have ever seen. While we took two day trips to Bar Harbor/Acadia, we felt that East Blue Hill had everything we needed - beautiful hikes, great restaurants, a nice grocery store and the cutest toy store I have ever been to. Sherry, the owner, was very attentive and willing to answer any questions that arose. Our week in the cottage was special beyond words and we can't wait to return!

The property is well maintained, the owner is very communicable and the view is incredible!

The home is ideally located, wonderful view and very clean! Our only challenge was finding out the check in process as the owner did leave the doors open for us but we did not know it would be open as there was no communication after we texted and called. We really appreciated how well stocked the kitchen was, how clean the house was and of course, the view! Lovely experience...

The house is great. Spacious and clean. But the best part is the view off the deck. It looks out on a small bay and is fantastic. We loved everything about our stay. Can’t wait to return.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. This is the second time we have stayed at this property and will return. The owner is responsive and the property is just as described. The view of the water across the road from the home is really nice, as well!

If you're looking for a peaceful getaway, this is the place to stay! From the lullaby of the bubbling brook to the lively crow songs to the serene view, this place offers extreme tranquility. The beds were very comfortable, the amenities generous, and the overall atmosphere top notch.

Loved our stay at the Curtis Cove house! Can’t wait for our next visit! Highly recommend it to all! Sherry is ready to help you with anything you need.

We had a great time. Sherry has the house fully equipped with anything anyone might need. The view of the water was special in the morning and evening. Given we were there after Labor Day, restaurants were closed for the season or due to lack of help. We did need to travel to get to a store. I would recommend stocking up and cooking at home. We appreciated the opportunity to stay in such a lovely home

I rented Sherry’s cottage on behalf of friends who were in town for my wedding. They had a wonderful stay and especially enjoyed the beautiful view of the water and the amazing deck.

This place is absolutely well equipped you will want for nothing. Overlooking a small beach in a cove which is delightful to watch. We really enjoyed our stay.

This property has it all. Cute, clean, well-stocked, and ideally situated by the water on a quaint, serene country lane that was perfect for morning walks. The Blue Hill village is a short drive away. Easy to get to, but far enough away to have some real peace and quiet. Absolutely delightful.

We had a lovely stay at this property. The owner was thoughtful and responsive to questions and the property was beautiful. Unfortunately we did not have the best weather, but it was nice to just be in the lovely and comfortable house and be away from it all for a while. Blue Hill is a great area to stay in and do day trips to various locations in Maine. We've been coming to Blue Hill for 50 years and it has gotten a bit more crowded, but actually the tourist attractions like Acadia National Park have gotten much more crowded, so Blue Hill has maintained it's very small town charm!

Our group of six (two couples, two children) thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this house. It was clean, quiet, and across a tiny road from a private beach in a low-traffic neighborhood. The pictures on the website do not do the beach justice. It has dramatic, 10-foot tides; sometimes the sandy beach was exposed, sometimes the rocky shore, but it was always gorgeous. My husband and our girls enjoyed snorkeling at low tide. Other people in the neighborhood visited the beach, but it was never crowded and everyone was reasonably considerate. The house was spacious enough for the six of us to spread out. The deck was nice; it includes a table big enough for six, with a folding umbrella. There were some useful odds and ends in the basement, including folding chairs, tiki torches, and another small couch and table where someone could have retreated to sit quietly, had there been a need. I think I also saw some children's toys. Blue Hill is a cute little town, with a surprisingly nice children's park for such a small community. Overall, we loved this place and would definitely return.

A 10...the best!!

This home was an ideal setting for the end of a 2 week vacation in Vermont and Maine. The views are incredible, located just across a cul de sac street from a private beach. Blue Hill is a great small town with some of my he best pizza we’ve ever had! The home is new, tastefully furnished and with a well equipped kitchen.

We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Such a beautiful area and such a nice rental property. We would love to come back again some day!

Everything was really wonderful at the house. We haven’t been to Maine for about 7 years. Things sure change a lot. Acadia was so incredibly busy we couldn’t even attempt to find a place to park. Blue hill still has a nice little charm. Coyotes late a nifht howling was incredible.

Even better than pictured. Perfect location across from the beach.

We absolutely loved our time in East Blue Hill. The house was immaculate with a ton of extras for the kids if they wanted it. We felt at home with so many conveniences at our fingertips. Thank you to Sherry for being such a great host.

We had a great stay at Sherry’s property. The view is spectacular. Great location. It is conveniently located near Acadia, Blue Hill, and Ellsworth. We would love to come back here!

Such a serene and beautiful space. The cove is gorgeous and Sherry was a great host

My friends and I came to stay here for a long weekend at the end of September and we couldn’t have been happier with our experience. The house is amazing and in a perfect location right on the beach. I definitely recommend it!

Sherry is an amazing host, friendly and attentive. Location was great and easy to get to Bar Harbour and Acadia. The property has everything you need and was great for a group of friends. We cooked and hung it on the amazing deck to take in the view. At night the skies are amazing and you can even see the Milky Way. Towels abundant, all the amenities you need, it’s a home away from home! Everyone should check it out!

The views are amazing. Sherry was the perfect host - helpful without being intrusive. The house was modern and well equipped - the deck was the highlight for me - coffee in the morning watching the bald eagles and staring at the water - highly recommend

Once again, we were enthusiastically seduced by the beauty, comfort and friendliness of the house and of the East Blue Hill community. This was our second stay, and we loved the house, the location and the support throughout the stay. We’d highly recommend this house for anyone looking for a quiet And comfortable place to stay, with a nice place to walk and easy access to Blue Hill amenities and restaurants!
