About this house rental
One king master BR, 500sf with private balcony and office area, plus a toddler bed. 1 Queen BR and 1 Fullsize BR, kids' bunk room sleeps 4 in twin-size bunk beds and also has a Fullsize bed. **The home is set up for a MAX of 8 adults. Please INQUIRE with owner before booking if you have more than 10 people (basically, up to 12 is ok if it is 6 adults and 6 kids 12yo and under, otherwise it is too much for the well)**
Open floor plan living/dining/kitchen/tv nook 1000sf. This 2,400sf house is ideal for kids, pets allowed, can even accommodate three families! Private beach access overlooking Acadia/Mt. Desert Island, next town over from Blue Hill arts and food scene, and the other direction to the town of Ellsworth's shopping. Ideal staging ground for your Down East Summer vacation throughout the Penobscot Peninsula, easy day trips to Deer Isle, Camden, etc. Private beach located just a short 300' walk down the private camp lane (the house is located on a little peninsula with about 15 others, providing an idyllic little enclave on Contention Cove, no public traffic). Also, a deep water mooring may be available if you inquire. There is also a shared canon and inflatable kayak.
There is a canoe down at the water which is available to you, and large screen TV w Netflix and Amazon Prime, a dvd plus great high speed internet/wifi make this vacation home both an ideal wooded/ocean access getaway, but also to keep you connected and entertained! We have also found it works very well to have a couple offices set up and supports multiple 'zooming' at once.

Beautiful property. The house was set up for both comfort and entertainment. I really appreciated that there were plenty of games, toys, confortable couches, and a ping pong table! The mattresses on the beds were amazing. Best sleep I'd had in months!

The stay was great! The location was very good. The firepit was so fun each night. The game room was excellent! We had two little ones and they were so entertained with the Lincoln logs, wooden train set, leggos and more! It was so nice they were not on their devices all night! Thank you Tim!

This house was perfect for a family vacation! We loved the open floor downstairs and being able to walk over to the beach.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Sep 2024
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.
