The place itself was nice. It could use a little TLC and I was a little disappointed with the water having to walk down that steep hill to get to it but other than that, we had a good time.

This is our second year staying at Mariners Reach. We absolutely love it and so do the dogs! The kitchen has everything you need. I would say high chairs at the peninsula would be good!! The house is always clean. Our favorite place is the sunroom for having coffee and breakfast in the morning. We will definitely be back!!

The best thing about our stay at Mariners reach was that it has a really nice large fenced in yard which our dog loved. The house itself was comfortable, although the property and house needs some love and repairs.-looks like it was well taken care of in the past with a beautiful garden. Most of what we needed was there, although we did not find any lobster crackers, no extra bags for the kitchen trashcan; only one extra roll of toilet paper in each of the bathrooms. we actually purchased some lobster crackers and pic forks, and also 4 placemats for the kitchen table from the dollar store - wasn’t very expensive, but they are nice touches to have. Washer and dryer worked well and were good to have there. Living room is comfortable - sunroom and deck were very nice to sit out on. There are window air conditioners for those hot days. The self-contained apartment above the garage was very nice.One caution: there is kind of a path down to the Mount Desert narrows tidal waters which at low tide was cool for our young adult children to explore, however, it’s very dangerous and steep- leaf-covered and kind of rocky. I would not advise it for older people or young children.
