Location!
You can’t beat the location of this property. The secluded spot, the views from nearly every room, the access to the water and the proximity to both Acadia and Bar Harbor made this stay so wonderful, especially with small kids who couldn’t handle being in the car for long periods of time. We had everything we needed in the house and plenty of space for our group of 12 (9 adults and 3 kids from 4 different households). We loved being able to all cook and eat together in the large kitchen/dining area. The house came with so much for those traveling with small children; we were pleasantly surprised to even find toys and children’s books when we arrived. However, I would not consider the house “childproofed” so keep that in mind as you plan. The house was old and though charming did come with the issues that are to be expected from an older home especially in a damp area - mainly just old home smells. If there are two types of rental homes - those made to be more for rentals and made to be neutral in decor more like a hotel, and those that are more like staying in someone’s actual home - then this home is the latter, complete with family pictures and all. Both the kids and adults in the group loved exploring the rocky shore at low tide and we were so glad we had brought some binoculars for wildlife viewing. As an added bonus there was a very cute groundhog living in the backyard that our 3 year old named “Salami”. She has talked about Salami every day since our visit.
