My family (husband and two kids, 8 and 7) spent a week at this charming rental house in Surry, Maine, and it was a truly wonderful experience. The house is beautifully situated in a quiet, picturesque area with stunning views of the surrounding nature. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat, this is the perfect spot. We enjoyed being close enough to explore Bar Harbor and the other coastal towns while still having a serene place to return to each day. The rental house is well-maintained, clean, and very comfortable. It has a cozy charm with modern amenities, which made our stay very pleasant. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed to prepare meals, and we appreciated the thoughtful touches like a welcome basket with local treats. The living room was spacious and inviting, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. One of the highlights of the house was the outdoor space. The deck offered a beautiful view of the waterfront, and we spent many mornings enjoying coffee and the fresh Maine air. The property also has direct access to the water which was a major plus with small kids. They could explore in our own private beach and splash in the water!

Great property! Perfect location and house is exactly as described. We plan to go back again next year!

Not Satisfied with the stay. The conversation with property manager was not good

We absolutely loved our week at Idle hour II. The house is incredible and has everything you need. The sheets were so soft and the towels were great. The views are stunning from every room and the area is quiet. We enjoyed having some travel time and agree with Melissa the server from Perry’s lobster shack(it’s walking distance and the food is INCREDIBLE) Surry is the relaxed version of Bar harbor. Stop reading go book and enjoy it like we did!!

The house was clean and well appointed. We so enjoyed the windows overlooking the water and watching the tide coming and going. It was close to attractions but very quiet and off the beaten path.

We had a wonderful time with our family at Idle Hour Ii. Everything was as advertised and we felt at home from the moment we set foot inside the cabin/ home. What a location, very peaceful with an excellent lobster stand/ restaurant within 400 feet. Also, the drive to Bar Harbor was very scenic with lots of things to do along the way.

The wall of windows overlooking the water was gorgeous! The deck was nice to watch the tide come and go. Walks along the beach were peaceful and relaxing. We had fun shopping in downtown Ellsworth and Bar Harbor. The sights in Acadia are not to be missed! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

The property was clean and as listed upon arrival. Our son loved having the water right up the the house and being able to fish. The house was well furnished, had extra blankets and adequate kitchen supplies. Any drawbacks were minor; limited food storage (pantry) space and limited local entertainment . Time to Bar Harbor/Acadia approx 50-55 min.
