We really enjoyed our stay! Everything was so clean and welcoming. When there was a small discrepancy with the listing, the owner addressed it quickly. We would definitely recommend this location and this house.

The location of the property was a convenient. Cleaneleness of the property was ok. The shower cartoons on the first floor need to be changed. Overall, we enjoyed and will recomend the place to our friend.

My wife and I celebrated an early Thanksgiving with one of our adult sons and his gf. We benefited from great November weather, so only spent our evenings on the property. The house had plenty of room for us, the location is excellent (we prefer the "quiet" side of MDI), and everything was very clean. We hope to return when it's a bit warmer to take advantage of the waterfront location!

Comfortable, quiet and well appointed.

THE HOUSE WAS BEAUTIFUL, UPDATED , LOCATION WAS CONVENIENT. WOULD STAY HERE AGAIN!

The property has a beautiful view of the cove to sit and enjoy sunsets!

Comfortable house with great views in a quiet neighborhood. We had a wonderful stay!

We spent two days in Acadia sunset cottage and everything was really perfect.

We enjoyed it very much, its a truly nice place

We had the best time and couldn't get over how quiet and perfect pur place was! Perfect for our family close to everything we wanted to do. Owner was super helpful and quick responding

The location of this property is great. It is a perfect place for vacation. Looking forward to stay again.

Very nicely cared for and clean. Beautiful, peaceful location. We will be back!

We enjoyed our stay. The cottage is very clean and well stocked, and the screened in porch is small but a great bonus. The sunsets are magnificent! Areas for improvement would be better lighting (among other things, we could never figure out how to turn on the light over the dining room table) and a working microwave. Also, the bedroom on the first floor definitely needs end tables with lamps as well as at least one small chest of drawers. Overall, we are happy to recommend this cottage.

Located by the water with a great view, house has everything you need to stay and relax. Highly recommend.

Quiet and picturesque property located 10 minutes from Southwest Harbor. Very good place for an extended family. Three bedrooms each with its own bathroom and shower! Duck Cove is your backyard. Property is well maintained. Bring blackout curtains (we left some there) because in late June, the sun rises before 5am!

We enjoyed our stay. The view was beautiful!

We had a wonderful time there. We loved each having our own bathrooms. The bedrooms do need curtains to block out the sunrise and more lamps. It was very quiet.

Screened in porch was great.

Our family enjoyed our stay here. The location worked great for going into Bar Harbor and Arcadian Park. View for great!

We had a wonderful time. It was as listed. Clean, neat, and they checked in with us to make sure we had what we needed!

We loved the home, beds were very comfortable, the room was very clean and we especially loved the porch!

This was the perfect place away from the crowds with access to Acadia and all the island has to offer.

Joy and Peter are excellent hosts: property was perfectly clean, well cared for and stocked with essential immunities. The house was of good size. The lower level recreation room adds a great dimension to the space, especially as it opens to the outdoor dining area. And situated in the east shore of an inlet you get the full coastal experience with salt air, the sound of water and gulls, and beautiful sunsets. The SWH is the place to be on MDI as you get the solitude of a remote area, but with excellent dining options close by and 20-30 minutes from the best hiking of MDI and Bar Harbor. Highly recommend this property.

My sister and brother-in-law and other sister and I loved the beautiful, comfortable and quiet house. There was plenty of room for all to have their own space and comfortable places to get together. We loved walking the beach at low tide and enjoying the evening on the screened in porch. Ship Harbor, Wonderland and Flying Mountain are close by and wonderful trails! Had great meals at Beal's and Thurston's. The approximately 1/2 ride to the park entrance is well worth the benefit of being on the quieter side of MDI, still with access to local stores and restaurants. Thanks to Joy and Peter for the obvious care and attention they give to their home to make sure visitors feel welcome and comfortable. Hope to return for a visit in the future!

we enjoyed our stay and looked forward to the sunsets each evening!

Very clean, very comfortable house. The surrounding area was beautiful and quiet. We loved sitting in the screened in porch and watching the cove in the morning and evening.

Our first time in Maine and really enjoyed our stay. There's so much to explore nearby.....Bass Harbor Lighthouse, Ship Harbor and Wonderland Trails are close. Southwest Harbor is a cool town with a pharmacy, restaurants, etc. Best meal was at Thurston's, not a fancy place but, they know what they're doing! Joy was great to communicate with....the cool evenings, sleeping w windows open, can't beat it. Cottage well equipped and our teenagers appreciated having their own bathrooms. Place is very clean. Thanks for the hospitality Joy!

We loved our vacation at this magical cottage. We had 2 families with adult children and a teen and we all enjoyed it. Plenty of room to spread out and with in a short driving distance of so much and 30 minutes into Bar Harbor for more! Highly recommend renting kayaks and having delivered to explore the cove. Thank you so much for a dream vacation!

It was our first trip to MDI and Acadia National Park for this 3 generation trip. We knew we wanted to enjoy life on the quietside and didn’t mind driving the island. Duck Cove was quiet, secluded, and stunning! Beautiful sunsets over the water/trees. The house was a great size for 2 kids, 2 parents, and 2 grandparents. We had space to hang out together eating, playing games, and exploring the rock beach but we also had space to sit alone and read a book or work on a puzzle. Joy was quick to respond to any questions we might have and even gave us a fun tip about how to refill water jugs like a local (which we did - twice!). Super close to some easy hikes like wonderland, ship harbor, and the bass harbor head light. About 45 min to downtown Bar harbor, and about 35 min to park loop road. When we return, I would rent from Joy and Peter again in a heartbeat!

The house was a perfect size for our family. We loved the location and being on the water. Ping pong a plus!

We loved the location. House nicely furnished and it had all the necessary requirements. We would rent again if we are in the area. Good restaurants in nearby village.

We had plenty of space for our family of five. The three full bathrooms were much appreciated. Great location to visit Acadia.
