The house very clean! We enjoyed our coffee on the deck overlooking the harbor in the morning and playing cards in the dining area in the evening. The location is amazing!! We were all able to climb stairs, but for some this might be an issue.

The house was big enough for the eight of us. The location was great. Not far from town, grocery stores and restaurants. Bathrooms and bedrooms were updated and clean. The sliding door needs to be replaced and some of the windows need screens on them.

Looks like a haunted house
Looks like a haunted house
I rented the cottage and suite,( I wouldn't describe either that way ) for 7 adults. Upon driving up to the property it looked like a dilapidated storage facility. The bottom of the building had 2 large garage doors for boats and a commercial area to process lobster. The paint was peeling and it looked like the place was abandoned. We were later told the garages were used for storing boats, and the owners could come and go at any time. There was also a commercial dumpster and a rusting discarded freezer in the front of the property. There was garbage on the ground around the dumpster! Also, there are other people permanently living on the property over the back garage. The stairs to the "cottage" as well as the deck were peeling, had loose floorboards and exposed nails. There was rusting chicken wire around the deck to make it "safe". There is a view of the water but it is not waterfront!! Upon entering the "cottage" it was very hot. Fans were blowing. We tried to open the windows but most were missing the casement window cranks. I immediately called Vacasa and they did send the caretaker over with one lever so we could open the windows. I also asked them send over something to cover the windows that didn't have blinds, that never happened! The "master bedroom" didn't have a window, just a skylight and an opening/passthrough to the living room. There was a shade on that opening, bizarre! The back 2 bedrooms were connected, so in order to get to one of rooms you had to go through the other. Not ideal for light sleepers or privacy. Each room only had one of the two windows covered with a blind. The other was not covered at all. We had to hang a sheet over it. Also the washer/dryer was in the first room and was not vented outside. The exhaust vent went into a makeshift little box that was just sitting on the floor. A fire hazard! The 4th bedroom, bathrooms, living room and kitchen were fine. Couch was too small for our 7, and definitely for the number of people the house is supposed to hold. Downstairs the "suite" was awful. It was stuffy, small and even though it probably had been redone, it looked rundown. I was very upset we had to put anyone down there to sleep. Unfortunately the accommodations upstairs were not ideal for a couple. I paid top dollar in season for this property, and was mortified and disgusted. From the outside the place looked like an abandoned motel. Do not rent this place!!!

Listing photos only tell part of the story.
Listing photos only tell part of the story.
Really depends on what you need this for. Ok views of the harbor but immediate surroundings leave much to be desired. Actual living space matches photos but location is located on top of a big industrial barn. Outside porch is expansive but immediate area landscaping is rough. If you just need a place for a large group to crash in relative proximity to Acadia this will work. Just don’t plan on hanging out here too much. Kitchen equipped, big dinning area, in unit laundry all Pluses.

It was a nice location! Enjoyed the view of the waters from all the windows. Nicely furnished. Would have ben nice if more windows opened for better air flow especially since the back bedroom was VERY uncomfortable from the dryer being vented into the room!
