thanks

We had a wonderful stay. After adventuring during the day we couldn’t wait to come home and watch the sunsets from the deck. The house was cozy and we had everything we needed. Even the bed was comfortable allowing my tired body a good night’s rest. Staying there was so relaxing. 10/10.

Great stay.

This was the best place we have ever rented. We absolutely loved how close the house was to the water. Very relaxing to sit on the deck or on chairs in living room viewing the water and lobster boats. The place was extra tidy and well equipped with everything we needed.

This was our second stay in The Little Island House. I plan on returning. There's nothing more relaxing than having morning coffee on the deck overlooking the harbor. Watching the lobster boats and sea birds. The rental is comfortable and extremely clean. I adored the crisp white sheets on the bed.

Very quaint! Beautiful sunsets! Very clean and great location!

Great house. Immaculate! The kitchen had any tool I needed. Really comfortable beds! Million dollar views. Hiking trails nearby including some within walking distance. It really felt like home to me. 3 minute walk to a restaurant with tasty seafood, good beers and a fabulous staff! Most restful vacation in a very long time.

Charming waterfront cottage with nice amenities. Clean & comfortable. Lovely views. Close to Acadia and a quiet location

Wonderful location, excellent accomodations and extremely peaceful. This place is a slice of paradise. We enjoyed watching the boats and tides come in and out. Acaida is short drive away and staying on the "quiet side" was perfect. Thank you.

We had a wonderful time staying at this house on Bass Harbor. The house was spotless and had everything we needed. We could have sat on the front porch all week to watch the activities in the harbor. We were two couples that travel together often and the size of the house was perfect. I would highly recommend staying here.

Location, location! We loved being on the quiet side of the island watching the working harbor from the deck of this exceptional property! Small, but functional apartment with every need accommodated. Remote, but still close to hiking, sight seeing and restaurants. It was a perfect vacation week!

beautiful

This is a great little place! Everything was as we expected and We had everything we needed. The sunset view was amazing. My only suggestion would be to add a hammock to the porch (lol I improvised and napped on the chair cushions). If you wand touristy bar harbor- this is not it. We loved being away from the hustle and bustle and didn't mind a short drive to explore or grab dinner.

We thoroughly enjoyed our second stay in Bass Harbor at the Little Island cottage. Thanks again!

All in all. It is a great place to stay. It was quiet and peaceful. The view from the deck was excellent. The location is close to most everything you want to see.

It was just what I thought it would be. Very nice , Charming.

Our 2nd time staying here! Quiet, tranquil, scenic! Great week!

Great place to stay on the quiet side of the island. Always something to see on the busy harbor.

We loved the property! Fully equipped. Perfect location. One of our best vacation rentals!

What a wonderful place to spend our 25 anniversary! It was just what we were looking for! Thank you!

This property was exceptionally well suited to our needs. The waterside location overlooking the working harbor was amazing. While there we took in the Bass Harbor Lighthouse, the iconic lighthouse of Acadia, as well as the coastal portions of Acadia National park adjoining it. These were beautiful and much less crowded. The Nature cruise that left from the pier next to the house was also great! The property itself was clean and comfortable. Charlotte was accessible and a great host. Highly recommended!!

The pictures don't do this house justice. It is bright and welcoming. Looks like the walls were just painted. I felt like I was coming home after a long, busy day. Comfortable chairs. Very comfortable bed. The best is sitting on the deck watching life on the harbor. I WILL r4eturn

Two years ago we were vacationing in Maine and stumbled upon this house with a vacation rental sign. We knew our next vacation must be there, and lucked into a rental week this year. Watching the tides go in and out, the fog roll in, the spectacular sunsets and the lobster boats snug in the harbor at night were exactly what we had hoped for. The rental is also spotless and we enjoyed the beautiful garden and busy bees. It's close to Acadia, where we visited almost daily, but I would have loved another week just enjoying the fishing village. We also highly recommend the boat tour which sets off right from the dock.

What a great visit we had to this idyllic cottage in Bass Harbor. When you first pull up, the beautiful rose garden will take your breath away. The apartment is incredibly clean and well-equipped. We had everything we needed including fans, beach chairs, and basic staples in the kitchen. I was worried that the harbor would be smelly or noisy, but it was neither. We spent as much time as we could on the porch, just soaking up the sites and sounds. There was a newly installed gas fireplace that was great on the nights when temps dipped below 55 degrees (we also had no trouble kicking on the heat). It took us about 35 minutes to get to Bar Harbor, but only about 10 minutes to lovely Southwest Harbor and great restaurants. We walked to Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse, which was great fun, and we even took the nature cruise that leaves from the dock next to the cottage and it was beautiful..

We had a wonderful week in Bass Harbor, Charlene’s house was perfection….exactly as described. It was impeccably clean, well supplied, and the views of the harbor were fabulous. I can’t wait to return!

Beautiful view on Bass Harbor during the full moon. Very clean and comfortable for two; you would want to know the other two well, if you were to rent this for a week with four adults. Charlene is a terrific host.

This property is amazing. It is right on the water with a truly spectacular view. The kitchen is quite small but functional with all the cookware you would need. I loved the working fireplace. It is a small house, so even though there are two bedrooms, I think it would be too small for two couples. You can walk to a restaurant and a lobster pound for the freshest lobsters you could possibly get. Easy drive to many hikes and the cute towns of Northeast Harbor and Southwest Harbor. Would highly recommend taking the mail boat to Great Cranberry Island! My friend and I absolutely loved it!

My husband and I stayed at the lower level of the house for a week. It is cozy and very clean. There is everything you need for your stay, from bathroom to kitchen. We really enjoyed. Thanks for sharing your house!

This was a wonderful location...a true working harbor in Maine. Morning activity and sunsets were terrific! The owner had deep cleaning protocols in place and my husband & I left very safe. In addition Everything we needed to cook or bake or clean with was fully supplied. We often bring our own items to rentals but I never took them out of the storage box. We've rented often on Mt. Desert, and this was not the biggest, but it was one of the best! We hope to return next year. Highly recommend Little Island House !!!

Our week stay in Bass Harbor was a true delight. Charlene’s apartment was perfect in every aspect. The location not only convenient to Acadia national park where we spent each day either hiking or biking but has a gorgeous view of the harbor The apartment is surrounded on 3 sides by water It was so delightful to watch the low & high tides come & go each day, the numerous boats & the bird life We’ve been actively using Airbnb & Vrbo for 5 years since retirement This apartment lacked for nothing. When I’d think there was an item that hadn’t been provided, it would be found. We prepared all our meals & every utensil & items needed was there Charlene was extremely helpful when we had a question. We only emailed throughout the week but did meet as we were leaving. She’s such a delightful host & close to apartment if needed We would definitely rent this apartment again which we hope to do next September

Our week in Sept was wonderful at Charlene’s home on the cove! We were in the downstairs apartment which was clean, organized and equipped. The views were relaxing, the fireplace a plus, and location perfect for hiking and kayaking on the quiet side. Kitchen is small with an apartment sized stove and no dishwasher which we didn’t mind. Noise from upstairs can be heard at different times but not a deal breaker. Bed was getting older but still comfy, shower was great! We would love to return sometime! Thank you!
