My husband, three children and I went to Bar Harbor with my parents. They stayed in the guest house and we stayed in the main house. It was PERFECT! We had plenty of space and enough separation to do our own thing. This is a must stay!

Beautiful property! Listing was very accurate, pictures were spot on. Location was quiet and peaceful but a short drive to both Bar Harbor and Acadia. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place to anyone visiting MDI!

This was the sixth time we have stayed in this house, which has been updated by Nicole in the past few years. We saw porpoises, seals, and a variety of seabirds from the house and collected so much seaglass from the beach. The price has certainly increased and is on the higher end, but the location, house, and guest cottage are excellent

After the passing of my precious mother - was so in need of a quiet, peaceful reprieve. This property was the perfect place to unwind, relax, and regroup. The pictures - even though they are beautiful, simply don't capture just how beautiful this property is. Everything we needed - and more - was provided. The owner's communication was exceptional. Bedding? comfortable. Dishes and cookware? all that is needed Furniture? variety and all comfortable Views? Exceptional!!! Beach? Enjoyable Neighborhood? Quiet and peaceful Truely - we loved every moment of every day at this lovely property. Make your reservations with confidence... you and your loved ones will LOVE this special location - only a few miles from the formal entrance to Acadia NP. The views from the home, the yard, the beach... all breathtaking!!! Sunrise to Sunset... You will remain constantly in vacation-mode in this amazing setting. HIGHLY recommend!!! and - - we will certainly look forward to returning once again! Our heart-felt thanks & appreciation for a much needed reprieve... until next time... A++++++

My wife, my 2 dogs and I stayed at this property for 4 days and we loved it! Definitely more house than we needed but we really wanted to be oceanfront and it was so worth it! My dogs loved exploring the beach at low tide. This property is minutes from downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia and we had no problem finding our way around. Nicole, the host, was amazing and more than accommodating when we had to change our plans last minute. Would highly recommend staying here if you plan to explore Bar Harbor and Acadia.

Amazing location! Easy access to park and Bar Harbor but still feels very private. Would highly recommend renting kayaks. Host is very responsive. Would absolutely stay again.
