We had everything we needed. We especially loved the fire pit and ping pong table. It was the perfect size for a family of 6 plus one dog. The distance to Acadia was a bit longer than we expected -- only 25 miles or so but this translated to 45 mins to an hour - depending on the time of day. ##### Liz M.

Access to beach with kayaks and canoe for sailing was a plus. Well-stocked with needed supplies and activities/games for all ages. Very responsive communications with host. Comfortable beds. Negatives: Unreliable water pressure issues, although host was responsive to plumbing concerns. This is a problem that needs to be addressed before future rental. ##### Deb B.

This house had everything. There was so much for everyone to do. The location was perfect for us. The kids love being able to take a short walk to the beach and enjoyed swimming in the water daily. My only wish is it was a little closer to Bar Harbor/Arcadia but thw almost hr drive went by fast. I would definitively come back to this home in the future. ##### Chelsey T. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Joanna M. 1 Sept 2024 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Home needs some TLC The property has potential but needs attention. While it accommodates family gatherings, the listing and amenities are somewhat misleading, leading to disappointment. I didn't complain during the stay, but if you're considering renting, here are key points: Pros: - Great location near Acadia/Bar Harbor, perfect for exploring Maine. - Beautiful wooded setting. - Well-equipped kitchen with appliances, dishes, pots, pans, grill, and fire pit. - Games, TV, clean towels, and linens. Cons: - Limited beach access; no private beach. The path is poorly marked, leading to a rocky area, unsuitable for kids or older adults. - Major mold in the downstairs bathroom and a significant leak through the bathroom light fixture when the upstairs shower is used. This was reported to the homeowner, but it's a safety concern. - Unsafe step from the back door to the fire pit, not ideal for kids or elderly guests. - Dead animals in traps near the fire pit, causing a bad smell. - Stained, musty couches in the front room. - The clawfoot tub upstairs is charming but impractical to use. - Leaky faucets in the upstairs bathroom, difficult to turn off. - No trash pickup, a smelly fridge needing cleaning, and a non-working ice maker. - Missing basic supplies like soap, paper towels, or extra trash bags, which would have been nice to have. - Important details are only shared after booking; these should be provided upfront to make an informed decision.

There was more than enough space. We enjoyed having a bathroom for each couple and the fact that 2 bedrooms were on the ground floor as stairs were difficult for one couple. We had fun with the ping pong table and indoor basketball game and played one of the provided board games. Would have liked to use the canoe but had 2 days of rain so ran out of time to do that. WE did not cook here but there were plenty of spices, salt, pepper and other cooking basics and condiments available if you wanted to do that. Upstairs bathroom was also stocked with bandaids, sunscreen, bug spray etc. If you forgot something you would probably find it here. Property is not ocean front or ocean view but just a short walk (100 to 200 feet?) away on a road with minimal traffic as there is only 6 or so houses on it. This property would be ideal for families with children as there is so much provided to keep the kids busy and having fun indoors as well as outdoors. Also property is about 1/2 hour drive to Acadia National park (at least in Sept. after Labor Day!) ##### Sandra H.

It’s even better than the pictures (the layout is more open that I imagined). It served as a fantastic homebase during our trip with 8 friends to explore Surry, Acadia & Bar Habor (40 min to Bar Harbor). The location is quiet and relaxing and the beach access is a great bonus. Be sure to check out the stars on a clear night! We enjoyed cooking meals, playing games (ping pong, basketball, tons of board games), and just hanging out. It’s clean with comfortables beds & fully stocked with all of your needs. There’s a great firepit area and a grill out back. We also loved that we could bring our pup & didn’t have to leave him behind. ##### Ali B.

The photos don’t do it justice - there is so much light and the layout was really great. We had three kids under the age of 8 and the house was wonderful for them. There were lots of activities and wooden toys and games stocked in the house. We didn’t even need to bring toys. The house seems to be very loved by the owners - it was well supplied and everything is neatly organized in drawers and cabinets. Beds and pillows were very comfy, too. We weren’t prepared for the early Maine sunrises so my only wish was for shades on the bedroom windows. Other than that, pretty perfect! We’d definitely stay here again. ##### alyssa c.

Very responsive host. Clean, old house. A bit cluttered for our taste but it certainly came in handy when I needed a pair of water shoes to go to the beach! We didn’t have kids with us but school aged children would love all the games. ##### Kim B.

After a short period of panic everything was resolved and we had a great stay. Roomy, comfortable place with everything you need. We didn’t have kids along but very kid friendly. We used the backyard fire pit every night. Highly recommended! ##### Howard T.
