About this house rental
Pine and Sea Beach Retreat, Fire pit, dog ok, Jetted tub, beach
Wake up to deer in the yard, and the birds singing! This private lot is great for viewing Maine wildlife, yet close to the beach and shopping! In the pines but close to the sea!
Ride your bike to the beach, or to lunch at the local restaurant. Is sea glass hunting, or maybe a game of tennis at the clay courts in your plans? Possibly sailing lessons, launch your boat at the town dock, or kayak tours? All are MINUTES away! Stargaze at night by the fire under the incredible Maine sky, or soak in the jetted tub after a day of hiking.
This clean and open floorplan home has all of the amenities for you and your family to relax, cook together, and make memories!!
The large and sunny kitchen is well stocked with cooking supplies for that family dinner or lobster bake! The dining room has access to the deck through big sliding glass doors for the gas grill, and additional eating space on the deck.
There you will find the fire pit or "chimenea" and Adirondack chairs to watch the fire and unbelievable stargazing at night! Some nights it looks like you can just reach up and touch the milky way, as you count the shooting stars.
The living room has plenty of space for family games and sitting by the pellet stove.
First floor: Full bathroom with tub/shower. Bedroom 1 has 2 twin beds. Bedroom 2, has a queen bed.
Second floor: The master bedroom and en suite bathroom on the second floor boast a granite accent soaker tub, new walk in shower, and trendy footed vanity. The bedroom has a desk for added workspace, and a king sized comfy bed. There is a full laundry room off of the master bath with a washer/dryer, beach towels, and a iron and ironing board.
This home has everything you may need, and is close to things to do yet private and elegant. It is in the pines, but close to the sea. A true Maine experience!

The house was very nice and spacious. Plenty of sleeping space for our 5 adults. The house had tons of cleaning supplies, towels, and paper towels and toilet paper. Only a short drove to Arcadia and plenty of other sites including the water front within walking distance. Overall I would recommend to others especially if you have a larger family.

We were happy overall with our stay at the Pine and Sea Beach Retreat. To be fair, we had to look outside of Bar Harbor as we booked late and there were no reasonable rentals left in or near town so my review is based for settling on a rental nearby. The house is off the beaten track but is easy enough to get to Bar Harbor/Acadia and a host of other attractions we otherwise would not have been aware of otherwise. The drive up and down Routes 1 & 3 did get wearing after a while but was tolerable. The house itself was spacious for a family of six, well stocked and accommodating. It does have a few quirks. One, the TV room is a sitting room off the kitchen that has only two chairs in it. Not very useful for a family of six. Two, there is no central air; there are only two window air conditioners. There is only one ceiling fan over the living room and one portable fan in one bedroom so keeping cool can be a challenge. We were out most of the day so this wasn't much of an issue but we were lucky in that the recent heat spell had broken and the mornings and evenings were cool. The pros of the house outweigh the quirks and location. The big plus is the pleasure of working with Susan and Simply Rentals USA; their communication and attentiveness was top-notch and so easy throughout our week at the house. They are one of the best groups to rent from on VRBO in my book and that went a long way in enjoying our time in Hancock. Thank you!

We had a wonderful stay in this home. It is close to everything but far enough away that you can enjoy the peaceful atmosphere when you want to relax. We had plenty of room and everything was as advertised in the listing. Would stay again.

We all loved the house. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out. The kitchen was a great size with everything we needed. The master bath is a dream. Tidal Falls Reserve is only 4 minutes away from the house and is a truly magical place. Momo’s Cheesecake and YU’s Takeout should not be missed.

As advertised. Only thing I would suggest is to put screens is all windows. The bedroom didnt have screens in the windows and it would have been nice to open at night to get the fresh air.

The place met our needs for sleeping/showers etc. Kitchen well equipped if you came to cook. Was disappointed there was no fire pit (does offer chiminea). Furniture is not very comfortable for TV watching.
Also when looking at the photos it appeared the water was closer than a mile or so away. Also was not expecting to have to take the trash to the road, strip beds, start laundry or make sure everything was wiped down. What was my cleaning fee for?
This is just my opinion but when I’m on vacation I want to be on vacation from everything.

Had a great stay with family at this wonderful house! Enjoyed the front porch especially on the clear evenings looking at the stars! And loved our time together around the fire pit in the back! Loved going for walks on the beach close by and the great places to eat were not far from the house either!

The property was just as described and worked perfectly for my family with young children. We were able to go to the park in the morning and there was enough space to relax at the house in the afternoon away from the crowds. The house was comfortable and the property itself was spacious and quiet.

The house was beautiful and was equipped with everything we needed. Perfect location! We traveled north to Canadian border and as far east as Bass Harbor from this location. Easy access to Bar Harbor as well. Already recommended home to friends wanting to visit the area. Susan was easy to communicate with. Very responsive. You won’t be disappointed!!

We had a family of four along with our Boston terrier staying for a week in the house. The check in process could not have been easier and the house itself was just as advertised. We had a great time sitting on the back deck either eating breakfast, lunch or dinner and sometimes seeing the deer in the backyard....our dog would go up to them and just stare and they did not care. The house had everything you would want as long as you read the book in the front room about where everything was located, the kitchen was stocked with all the essentials (like a pot for boiling lobsta!). The drive to the small preserve at the end of the peninsula was only about five minutes and the trail there took you to an awesome beach that hardly anyone was at for the times that we went. Bar Harbor was only about 35 minutes depending on traffic which gave us time in the car to map our routes we wanted to go. If you do get a chance, please go into downtown Ellsworth and go to fogtown brewery....you will not be disappointed. We would come back and stay at the house in a heartbeat, thank you again for giving us the opportunity to utilize your lovely house.

If you want to get away to a quieter part of Maine, but still close to MDI, this place is for you. A cozy porch for your early morning coffee or afternoon reading always awaits. The small towns nearby offer plenty of places to eat, if you don't want to cook.

Nice. A little out of the way but not bad. House was fine. One ac unit on porch area and one upstairs in bedroom. Maybe another one in downstairs bedroom would have made the house comfy temp wise… got a little warm but there were a couple fans we used.
Overall a decent place.

Wanted to have my cousin and his wife experience some of the Maine scenes and food. Bar Harbor was on the top of the list.
Susan, the host, was easy to message and quick to respond. We had a great fun filled and relaxing week

The house was fine, laundry, shower, etc were good. However, the kitchen wasn't stocked very well- not enough dishes or cooking pots etc., at least for our family size. Could have been better stocked and nicer. The master bedroom bedding needed to be washed. At least the blankets and pillow cases needed washing (they were visibly dirty, not stains.). There were screens missing in the master bedroom, which let bugs in, or had to keep closed at night and it got hot. Otherwise, place was nice and has potential to be better! Thank you, we over all enjoyed our stay.

We had a really great stay at this home. It was spacious and the upstairs bathtub was a delight after a long day biking. The area is great for biking to Frenchmens bay, Acadia and Bar Harbor is close enough to take a day trip. We enjoyed the quiet of the area and the sleepy country setting.

1. The house was locked up and hot. The two tiny air conditioners did not do much to cool it off. The two first floor bedrooms stayed hot day and night the week.
2. Emailed the property manager Saturday night for more fans. Got no response the whole week.
3. The sliding glass door and screen are a wreck. Very hard to slide them and close them. Consequently flies, bees and other bugs were able to get into the house. No fly swatter was found. The door and screen need to be replaced immediately.
4. The moldy and torn shower curtain in the first floor bath was inexcusable. This needs to be replaced immediately.
5. The kitchen utility knives were rusty. These need to be replaced immediately.
Overall, for a few hundred dollars and some attention this house could be a great place. Unfortunately it appears to be under used and poorly managed.

We enjoyed our stay very much, the house was spacious and there was plenty of room for all of us. The area was beautiful and quiet, my dog Nellie loved running around in the yard. The drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor was a pleasant drive approximately 35-40 minutes each way.

Great quiet location
Love the location with easy 7 min walk to the cove. Awesome place to put in your kayak at high tide! Easy drive to Schoodic Peninsula which became our favorite location to climb rocks.

Amazing location and comfortable house in less busy part of Acadia area
What an amazing find. We had a great time at this property with three adults and three kids (including one infant). Beach access is a short walk away, and our family loved the variety of short bike rides (2 miles) that gave us access to Hancock Point, Carter's Beach, and other places with tidepools and beach views. Inside the house was almost perfect, needing just a few updates to make it more comfortable for a family, e.g., better kitchen supplies; darkening curtains in all bedrooms; etc. A few tweaks and this stay would be perfect for the next family.

Great stay!
We had a lovely stay at this home for our first visit to Maine. The teens were happy to have their own rooms, and we enjoyed having the upper floor all to ourselves. The area is pretty and quiet. Susan, the property manager, was very helpful and responsive, and wanted to make sure our vacation was fantastic.

My daughter had to leave after second night because the beds were uncomfortable. Twin beds are for little kids and not for older children. There were only two chairs in sunroom where the tv was located. No tv in living room. We couldn’t stay together as a family to watch movies. Furniture in living room was not comfortable so we couldn’t hang out there. Chairs were hard as a rock. Sofa was very small. We we’re not able to spend time together as a family which is what we had hoped for. Kitchen sink was clogged as well.

Tranquility and peace
Such an amazing property in an amazing location. Great house, well maintained and very clean (this is a must for us).
Most days we drove to Acadia...make sure you take few hours to visit the location where the house is. One mile from the house there is a very nice short hike through a very dense forest (Salt Pond Preserve Frenchman Bay Conservancy)...my kids told me it looks like the enchanted forest from Harry Potter ;)...it ends at an amazing beach, from where you can take a short walk to the harbor.

Quiet and relaxing vacation
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The property was spacious and even nicer than it looked in the pictures. We spent a lot of time exploring the nearby Tidal Falls, and Bar Harbor was only about a 30 minute drive away. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a Maine getaway!

Wonderful Stay in Maine!
The property worked great for us! We enjoyed the time we spent at the house as a family and it was a great place to access the many parts of Acadia, Bar Harbor, and Ellsworth. We would recommend this property for families or friend groups who plan to cook many of their meals (the kitchen is well outfitted) or those who don't mind driving 20 - 30 minutes to a restaurant. We were always going somewhere, so this didn't bother us in the least. Susan also went over and above to make sure that the only concern we had was taken care of promptly. This issue was no fault of the management team. We would definitely stay again!

Location Location Location
Planning our 4 Night stay in the Bar Harbor/Acadia area, we discovered that a small portion of Acadia NP is located on the Southern tip of the Schoodic Peninsula. This area of the park offers spectacular views and is well worth the effort to get there. The Pine and Sea Beach Retreat is central to both areas of Acadia.
The property is well stocked and exceptionally clean. We highly recommend Pine and Sea.

Perfect vacation to stay COVID safe. House exactly as advertised, very clean & the management team was super responsive. Great location 45 minutes from most hikes in Acadia and and Bar Harbor. Lots of wildlife in the area: deer, porcupines, squirrels, and a bunch of other stuff! Loved having the outdoor fire pit & bathtub (especially after long hikes!) Lastly, a kitchen was wells stocked to boil your own lobsters - so much fun!Two small things we suggest management fix:- Clean the grill. There is a significant build-up of old carbon & grease under the grill some of it lit while cooking anything for more than 10 minutes. Just needs a routine clean-up! - The master bedroom window AC unit is not flush with the walls which let a few flies in. Would get that fixed up!
