Exactly what you need if you are a couple looking to get away. Great location to all the popular attractions. Very clean and comfortable. Hope to come back soon. Highly recommend.

Amazing views and just an overall great experience for a nice getaway. Close to trails and only a short distance to the main Acadia viewpoints. Full kitchen with plenty of markets nearby to enjoy a home cooked meal certain nights. Highly recommend.

This is the perfect cottage for two adults who want to get away from it all and have terrific water views. This cottage is in a secluded beautiful spot but within an easy drive to the bustle of Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park--the best of both worlds. Becky (host) was kind and very responsive and sure knows how to create a space to put people at ease. The cabin was everything I could hope for in a "home away from home"--light filled, cozy, clean, peaceful--and even included a firefly show on two of the nights in the garden out front! Highly recommend.

Great location on the ocean on the quieter side of the island. National Park is a short drive. Some restaurants in walking distance.

Thoughtfully decorated to evoke a traditional Maine cottage, even the smell of the wood. Comfortable. Beautiful view and grounds, well maintained. Wildlife nearby - we passed a group of four or five deer almost every time we went in or out. Appropriate for two, but not more. We hope to get back there in coming years.

I appreciated all the little touches like the collection of rocks, comfortable bed and even the sheets were so soft! The wood cabin is light wood throughout, so it does not seem too dark even on rainy days!

From the location, to the view, to the house and grounds, to the community it was located in, it couldn't have been better. Becky and Josh were excellent hosts - looking forward to a return visit!

Superb, peaceful location; pristine and comfortable cabin; excellent communications with owner; everything one could hope for in a vacation rental - heaven! We look forward to returning next year.

Becky was a fantastic host and her cabin and property are gorgeous. We loved the cabin, the waterfront sea wall, and the entire area. We plan on returning.

Yet again, another wonderful stay at the cabin at Kings Point! Cherished are the slow, lazy mornings drinking coffee, sitting outside, watching and listening to the boat traffic coming and going. An absolutely relaxing week-long stay at a quiet, peaceful location on the water, hard to beat. Looking forward to our next visit!

We could not have enjoyed our week here more. Such a beautiful spot on the quiet side, with our own little piece of ocean front. We spent every morning down on the rocks just taking it all in. There are some plastic chairs down there, but we brought some folding camp chairs which were perfect for sitting right out on the rocks. The cabin is super clean and comfortable. Becky was wonderful to work with and even let us borrow her charcoal grill to cook up some fresh fish from just down the road. By the end of the week we started to look forward to the 4:20 AM lobster boat and have joked about downloading an alarm with that sound. Although credit to those boats for waking us up for some truly spectacular sunrises. The cabin pristine but not fancy. Shower is good but small. There is a small TV. Hardly any closet space and very few hooks. Hit and miss on kitchen equipment compared to other rentals we’ve had. And yes, early morning lobster boats. So if you are looking for luxury on the water, stay in town. But if you want to get away from it all and truly enjoy Maine at its best, stay here.

King's Point Cabin is perfectly sized and outfitted for two people and workable for up to 4. The wooded setting is private and peaceful, and the ocean views and access to the shoreline exactly what we were looking for. In 25 years of visiting MDI, it's my favorite among the places we've stayed. If I had to identify one minor drawback, it would be the lack of a washer and dryer. It wasn't a problem for our weeklong stay but could be an issue for a longer visit.

Such a great location and place to stay!

We have stayed in Southwest Harbor twice before and been very happy with cottages within walking distance of the main street but little or no view of the harbor. Finding Kings Point Cottage in Manset has now changed our priorities. It's all about the view and peace and quiet of being in a lovely place, altho it takes a little getting used to the lobster boats in the early morning.. We were able to walk to a couple of restaurants and the Cranberry Cove Ferry and the main part of SWH is only a couple of miles away There is also an Island Explorer bus that stops at the ferry landing in Manset. If you share our priorities, this is the place. If you need TV, dishwasher, laundry this may not be for you. The cottage itself is very comfortable and spacious for two. My favorite place to sit inside was upstairs in the dormer but the deck and chairs at the water were where we spent most of our sitting time. Hiking Trails on the "quietside" are only a short drive. We look forward to being able to return to this perfect cottage in Maine!

We would definitely enjoy another stay here on a future trip to Acadia

This is a delightful cottage situated in a wonderful location. A larger bed would have been nice but the double that is there was perfectly comfortable.

The best part was sitting on our own rocky beach watching the boats while enjoying a glass of wine or morning coffee. Beautiful property in every way. Close to town, restaurants and nature. Watch for deer, they’re everywhere. Would stay here again if ever back this way.

Looking for a peaceful spot near Bar Harbor, head to the quiet side of the island. Accommodations are immaculate and the view is breathtaking. We enjoyed every minute of our stay - morning coffee on the deck, listening to the daily commute (lobster fisherman), great local restaurants and a fully stocked kitchen for enjoying a relaxing dinner at the cabin. Thanks for sharing this little gem!

The cottage is excellent - like being in a family's personal cottage. Well appointed kitchen. The upstairs bedroom has a great sitting area with water views. It is a five minute drive to Southwest Harbor with its shops and restaurants - but nothing like the bustle of Bar Harbor! The cottage is located on the entrance of Southwest Harbor with lots of boating activity to keep you entertained - windjammers, lobster boats and sailboats all coming by. All of the park activities from hiking to sea kayaking and sailing are only a few minutes away. This is a great escape place!

This cabin was a perfect home base to explore Acadia. It was clean, had great views of ocean, and felt very private. If you want to feel like a tourist this is NOT where you want to stay. We were glad to be out of the hustle of Bar Harbor and really enjoyed Southwest Harbor. It was about 20-25 min drive to the park HQ. But we also found many incredible things to enjoy on this side of MDI: great hiking trails, beach at Echo Lake, sea kayaking, and good restaurants with friendly hosts. I hope to be back to Acadia soon!!

Our week stay in Acadia National Park was so magical thanks to this special cabin in the woods. Every morning we would sit with our coffee and watch the Southwest Harbor lobster boats head out to check their traps. The cabin was homey & comfortable with an open floor plan and a perfect kitchen. We loved the gas wood stove! The peaceful, private location was ideal for us. Becky, the owner, was very responsive to all our questions. We met Becky as she was closing up her garden for the season. We look forward to returning to this amazing cabin in the woods!

Clean small cottage with a nice view of sea But I don’t think 4 people could actually be comfortable in this cottage the second bed is a sleep sofa in an open plan small living area. The house is also located on same property as the vacation home of owners which we didn’t know when we booked.(no one was in residence when we were there so it didn’t matter ) In general we enjoyed the excellent view, the picturesque rocky beach and staying in a clean attractive house with quick access to local amenities.

This is a wonderful place for a couple or small family. Right on Sommes sound. Very quiet located in the woods, yet close to Southwest harbor. Great stars on clear nights. Had an eagle visit on our first day and stayed in a tree next to the house for 45 minutes. The kitchen was very well equipped. Watch out for wet slippery rocks at the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will return in the future.
