Cabin was spacious, clean, comfortable and had a great view. Judy was accessible and readily answered questions/concerns both before & during our stay. While it is a drive to get to Acadia, it is still easy to get to the park and also close to restaurants. We appreciated being someplace where it was peaceful and quiet.

House is kid friendly, didn’t feel like our 6 year old would break stuff. Brought kayaks and could access the coastline. Didn’t see many other folks during our stay. Easy drive to Acadia and other fun spots. Small cottage next door would make a good larger group stay easy since the properties share the outdoor space and beach access. ##### Melissa K.

We watched harbor seals, Eagles and loons each morning in front of the property. Bar Harbor is approximately 40 min drive and the same to the much quieter schoodic part of acadia. We had a few small issues on arrival but Judy was quick to work with us and did here best to resolve the issues. The beach is rocky as noted in the discription but full of shells and sea glass. A peaceful place to walk in the morning. If looking for a quiet place this is a good one. ##### Dann M.

Fresh flowers cut for us in every room! Loved walking the beach and kayaking in the cove. I do have a 4 year old and it wasn't the most kid friendly house. Lots of breakable objects around, no lock on the basement door, and no kid dishes. Other than that, it was a perfect place for us! ##### Kristin S.

The property has all of the standard amenities. Deck outside has a good size propane grill. The views all look out onto the cove. It’s about 30-40 minutes to Bar Harbor and Acadia National park out on Mount Desert Island. Southwest Harbor is another place to visit with our favorite coffee shop Milagro. Call ahead and try to get a seat at Harbor Table SW. Helen’s in Ellsworth very tasty with a selection of eats for everyone. ##### Mark W.

The views here are gorgeous. We loved opening all the windows and feeling the breeze off the water and listening to all the sounds. The water is a short walk and a lot of fun to visit and search for shells and crabs. The check-in process was flawless and Judy called to check in a couple of times to make sure everything was going well. The home is equipped with everything one would need and also has a fire pit, which ended up being one of our favorite things - listening to fire crackling and waves hitting the rocks. The location is also great. It’s about 40-50 minutes away from Acadia National Park, but the drive is easy and there is so much to see and do along the way. Overall, we were extremely pleased and would highly recommend this home and Judy to anyone. The fresh flowers throughout the house were a nice bonus. ##### Ryan E. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kimberly R. 21 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### June Retreat We had a lovely time at Hancock Point. Judy was very accommodating and called a few days before our arrival to check for questions and give hints and tips on the area. The house was well appointed-especially the two chairs looking out into the bay in the primary bedroom-the best reading and eagle-watching spot. We walked the beach and watched the resident nesting bald eagle pair as they flew back in forth all day and the harbor seals that came to play in the early morning. Things we did: Puffin tour, Acadia National Park-several days, thrifting/antiquing, visited Gull Rock Pottery, and Hog Bay Pottery. Places we noshed: C-Ray's, Helen's, Stewman's (after the Puffin tour), Ruth and Wimpy's, Ironbound, Side Street Cafe, and several side-of-the-road stops of which I don't remember the names. All were delicious!! We would go back tomorrow! ##### Kimberly R.

My family had a wonderful time during our stay. The house was in a great location. It was right on the water with access very close for us to walk down and drop in our kayaks. The veiw of the bay was amazing and could be seen from several large windows! The house was very inviting, especially the master bedroom! The house is along the road but it is a quiet road, everyone in the area we encountered was very friendly. It took about 45 minutes to get to Bar Harbor and 1 hour to the tails we hiked in Acadia (MDI) and about 20 minutes to get to Schoodic part of Acadia. The ride is really easy though and we knew this when we booked! There are a number of things to do locally too! Look up the Frenchman Bay Conservancy! The owner was amazing and was always available! It was great to be able to reach her when we had questions. I would definitely recommend! ##### Christine E. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Kellsey B. 9 Jul 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good house, not the cleanest. My family & I stayed at Judy’s home which is in the perfect location if you’re looking to spend time in Bar Harbor/Acadia (about 45 mins away). Judy called me upon our arrival to ensure a smooth check in. She also added fresh cut flowers throughout the house which was a nice touch! Not long after checking in, Judy texted me to confirm that there were no issues with the house - very thoughtful. You can follow a short path down from the house to the bay where you can swim. We had a pretty enjoyable stay at the house where we spent a lot of time BBQing and using the fire pit at night. During the day we were hardly at the house, so this didn’t matter too much to us but I feel that it’s important to leave in the review. There was poop in the toilet when we arrived, like someone had forgotten to flush and the toilet was not cleaned. There was also dirt/hair on the floor of each room that we swept prior to unpacking our things. We took care of these things and that was that. I do recommend this house but it could have been cleaner. ##### Kellsey B.

The location of the house on the water is so beautiful. It was a joy to wake up to this view and listen to the water breaking the shore before making our plans for the day. The sunrise can be seen from both the living room and the master bedroom. Seals played in the water in the early morning. Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor are about 30-40 minutes away. It was nice to visit, but then return to the quiet location of the house. Judy is very attentive to her guests, will responds quickly. When we arrived, there were little finishing touches such as fresh cut flowers here and there. We ate at Helen's Restaurant twice. Loved the variety of choices to satisfy everyone, the food is good and reasonable priced. Get there early though 5:00-5:30. Impressed with our visit to Maine. We're considering a family vacation and staying at both of Judy's houses to be together and apart. :) ##### Kerri S. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lindsey B. 14 Oct 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Charming but outdated While our group enjoyed the 9 day trip to Maine, the rental property had several unexpected inconveniences that were masked in the outdated photos posted on the advertisement. The pros: great location with amazing views, quiet and serene street that felt safe, reasonable drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor, and the property allows multiple dogs over 25 lbs (very hard to find.) The cons are many. The furniture, towels, and rugs are in a generally shabby and uncomfortable condition and need to be updated/replaced. When we arrived the house looked generally untidy, with dust on the shelves and in the corners and human hair scattered about. There are holes in the screens that allow bugs to enter the house, and several window blinds are missing the pull strings to raise and lower them. The master bath is not connected to the master bedroom, and should be labeled as an upstairs shared bath and not master bathroom. The Jacuzzi tub is too large for the water heater, and is thus unusable. The owner also had scheduled maintenance during our stay, for which we were only given 14 hours notice. She then proceeded to stay and interrupt breakfast rather than overseeing the work being done to the property. While we enjoyed the overall experience, the accommodations were not as cozy and comfortable as we had expected them to be. ##### Lindsey B.

It is a sweet little cabin with a gorgeous view from every room. We arrived after dark, so woke up to the view from the sweeping master bedroom window the next day. Judy communicated well with me when I booked, before we arrived, and while we were there. She took care of small needs quickly and provided lots of information about the area. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you could need. There is a firepit with 6 adirondack chairs overlooking the bay. It is an easy walk down to the beach to walk at low tide. We liked that it was outside of the crazy busy Bar Harbor area, but that tradeoff meant we did more driving each day to Acadia for hiking, kayaking and whale watching. Just something to consider based on what your plans are while visiting the area. But it is hard to get this kind of view for the very reasonable price of this home anywhere else. The master bedroom is huge and the upstairs bathroom is very large and spacious as well. The second and third bedrooms are smaller but definitely adequate, and there are closets and dressers to make yourself at home for the week. ##### Tracy M.
