Beautiful cozy cottage with all the amenities we needed. Has a great view and entertaining wildlife on the water. We were visited by ducks, loons, gulls, eagles, and otters in our short stay. The hosts were very helpful and everything was as stated or better.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Compass Point! The cottage style atmosphere is beautiful and it’s easy to see that lots of thought was put into each and every detail inside. The property inside and out is well kept and the scenic view is breathtaking. Thank you for making our 1st trip to Maine so memorable!

We could not love this property any more!! It was perfection! The house was clean and provided everything you could need or might possibly forget! The views were breathtaking and the interior was perfectly designed for comfort and practicality! The furniture and beds were comfy, the loft bedroom is just amazing, and the yard was great! The stargazing platform was an amazing honus as well as firewood, starters and smores. The.hosts provided great communication and recommendations for us! I would highly recommend and would love to stay again!

Such a special place

We just got back from a great family vacation at Compass Point. It was perfect for our family of 4- cozy and so thoughtfully appointed. Being on the water was incredible- my kids climbed all over the rocks and found crabs and other tide pool critters and we enjoyed wine and sunsets on the deck. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed. It's definitely on the "quiet side" so you may want to bring some provisions, but it was also nice to be away from crowds in MDI. It is a special place and we hope to return.

The hosts had excellent communication! Loved that they honor veterans with a discount as well. The home was absolutely amazing! If you want to just stay and relax, there are amazing views from the couches, the deck, and the yard. To watch the sunrise and the moon come up from the deck was a true gift. The amenities were great as well. Nicely stocked kitchen, games for the family, hygiene products in bathroom to include things you don't normally get like q-tips and make remover cloths. We came when the average temperature was 45 degrees. The heating system and gas fireplace all worked great and kept us plenty warm. They provide a seafood cookng pot with propane burner outside, which came in handy. The Corea Lobster Co-Op is 3 miles away and you get fresh lobster, right off the boat, for an amazing price!! If you want to get out, there are villages and towns all very close and of course, the beautiful Acadia National Park! Thank you for a great stay!

The PERFECT Getaway!

We found Compass Point Cottage on VRBO, and the pictures (while BEAUTIFUL) don’t compare to what you’ll see in person. The cottage is situated in your own private Maine paradise- close enough to Bar Harbor to enjoy the fun activities available, but far enough away to enjoy peace, quiet, and the raw coastal beauty Maine has to offer. We sipped our coffees on the back deck overlooking the bay each morning, and cozied up around the bonfire at night. The hosts thought of every detail possible to make your stay special and so very comfortable. A truly remarkable experience.

Magical and serene getaway

We had an awesome time at Compass Point. The owners promptly answered our questions before we arrived. The house is only a few miles from the Schoodick Peninsula and we were able to ride our bikes. We absolutely loved the location, about an hour north of Acadia. We enjoyed the oceanside firepit and the astronomy platform. We saw the Milky Way and a shooting star! The house was immaculate and had everything we needed. We would love to come back.

Well appointed cottage in a beautiful spot!

Compass Point is situated in a truly stunning location. We were able to to seamlessly ease into vacation mode as soon as we arrived. This cottage has everything you need so that you do not need to worry about running out to the store. In the morning, we enjoyed coffee on the deck watching loons, arctic terns, and eagles. The propane hookup allowed us to cook our own lobsters, which we enjoyed at the picnic table with a breathtaking view. The evening involved star gazing and s'mores at the firepit. We enjoyed all the amenities and will be back! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.

Absolutely stunning property

We had the most amazing stay at Compass Point- probably one of the nicest locations we have even seen. If you are looking for a spectacular view, clean, well-appointed cottage this is for you! My children loved the property, we saw tons of birds and the vistas are just incredible. This location is about 60ish minutes from the main Acadia park, however it's close to Schoodic which is a lesser visited but gorgeous part of Acadia. The main park is still easily drivable. We went to Bar Harbor and we were SO happy that we picked a spot that was out of the crowded areas. It was like being in our own private park. The hosts even left some little snacks for the kids and everything we needed for a s'mores bonfire. It was East Coast perfection!! Definitely recommend. We will be back.

Amazing hosts, exceptional views,

Everything from our check in to check out was A+. Cottage was immaculate, bright, and open with views of the bay from every room. Kitchen is fully equipped with amenities that aren’t usually supplied such as assortment of seasonings, cooking oil, cooking spray, ziplock bags, travel size treats such as cookies, chips, and crackers, etc. We absolutely loved how quiet and peaceful it was. We felt secluded even though other houses weren't far away. The star gazing platform was a highlight of our trip considering we reside in an area with high light pollution and noise. We weren’t far away from the scenic drive to Schoodic point (highly recommend), Tidal Falls, dollar general, and many other small business stores. Highly recommend stopping in to buy one of the local desserts sold. Communications with the hosts far beyond our expectations.

The Perfect Getaway

Our stay was an absolute dream. There is no details that our incredible hosts didn't think of....first of all the home, is perfectly situated. Every morning we woke up to views of the water, the sounds of the birds, and the beauty of the landscape. We even limited what we ended up doing in the area, just so we could experience the sunsets here. The home is well, perfect. The details to the build are so precise and beautiful. The rooms were perfect for our family and so comfortable. We loved the stargazing area at the top of the hill. It just added more magic. The kitchen has everything you need to make meals. Alice was amazing to communicate with both before our arrival and during!! I love the book the hosts left for us, to review places to stay and all the details. The love and care they put into our visit was absolutely incredible. We are already planning when we can come back. It was just so good. My only regret was not booking our stay longer. It really made coming back to NYC a challenge, after being in such an incredibly perfect area. Thank you for everything!!
