We had a wonderful stay at this cottage. The house had so many helpful amenities (crock pot, beach toys, iron, hair dryer, and many more), and was so clean. The cherry on top was the beach access - we spent an afternoon by the water as the kids splashed and explored the rocky shore and we didn't see another soul, despite it being right before the busy fourth of July weekend. It felt like our own private beach! We had a wonderful stay and hope to be back!

There were things that were great and other stuff I wasn't the most thrilled with. For the price I paid vs hotels or other houses it's hard to give it less than 5 stars. Hence the rating.

We had a great time at Acadia National Park. The house more than met our needs.
