The home was beautiful and perfect for our family. Loved being on the Sound and thoroughly enjoyed the high and low tides. Property manager was quickly responsive when we had a question.

The house was a highlight of our trip. We loved being right on the water. The hosts went above and beyond in every way. From great recommendations and making sure we had everything we needed. I would give 500 stars if that was an option. We loved it!

What a great place to stay. Very clean and the owners were so detailed with check-in and check-out instructions. Short drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. We’ve stayed in several VRBOs and I can say these were the most comfortable beds yet. We spent every day watching the eagles from the dock and got some great pics of them too.

Our family of 5 loved our 3-night stay in this beautiful home! The expansive windows on each level of the home provided a panoramic view of the Sommes sound waterfront, allowing us to see the coming and going of the tide and fishing birds. We enjoyed a fantastic hike and scenic drive in Acadia National Park, just 20 minutes away. Bar Harbor, also only around 20 minutes' drive, was a great place for a nice meal out. The home itself was warm and cozy, with great heating, 3 spacious bedrooms, a well-appointed kitchen, and a wide-screen TV and great couches for family movie nights. The host, Robard, was incredibly helpful, shoveling show from a late-season snowstorm. The home itself was immaculately clean! We would love to stay in this home again someday!

The house was wonderful and the view was awesome! Fishing from the kayaks was a plus! Area hikes were close by. Traffic noise on the main road was a downer but once in the house or on the dock one did it notice. Great place for memories!
