Oceanfront Chalet with privacy and spectacular views. Romantic or family getaway

The Chalet was an immense family home that was large enough for 7 adults.There were TVs in every bedroom although we enjoyed watching the big screen in the family room.The kitchen was equipped with updated appliances.The cabinets were stocked with plenty of dining ware.The basement was stocked with plenty of indoor games. However, since we were hiking we didn’t partake in any of the equipment.There was firewood left in outdoor fire pit which came in handy. We did buy more wood but didn’t really use it.The bedrooms were furnished with comfy furniture. Bed linens had a cute bear/ cabin themesThe Chalet was in a perfect location. About 15 min from most stores.Overall, I would recommend a large family to rent the Chalet.Improvements: fill up shampoo dispensersDish towels under kitchen sinkA filled up propane, it was empty so we didn’t use itA few more Rubbermaid containers Some plastic wrap/ foil

We had a wonderful stay! Plenty of space and great views. Thank you!

Breathtaking views, spacious living. We booked this place to be on the water and to accommodate our family. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, the gang was all together. The perfect drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor kept us out of the congestion. The big recreation room downstairs and gates on the stairs made it easy with the little ones.

This should/could have been an exceptional property/experience but it was a major disappointment.The listing is inaccurate...especially for the price we paid. The house is located on a river, not oceanfront. When brought to the owners attention, he said "according to the state of Maine any waterway that has salt content is considered oceanfront."The front door did not lock. The game room in the basement had a collection of not-full-sized assortment of air hockey, pool table etc In disrepair. we arrived after 8 pm and didn't recognize that the bedding was absolutely dirty until the next morning. There were soap dispensers in the showers but they were empty. The owners response was "I didn't say I was providing shampoo". Although the home has heat, there were no extra blankets. It gets cold at night in Maine. The owners communication was usually within hours...until I complained. I respectfully suggested he refund our cleaning charges (especially since I spent the checkout morning washing his sheets). He said "I have 14 days to make an adjustment and I'll think about it"In the end, beautiful location but not oceanfront. Poor to terrible housekeeping (imagine waking up in the morning to blond hair on your pillow when you are bald). Unnecessary disrespect to your guest when a simple resolution was proposed ("at least refund your cleaning fees").
