Hancock House, waterfront, charming, elegant,

Had a great time. Great view from picture windows every morning with a cup of coffee. Judith was easily reachable and friendly.

Judy was a great host and we felt she would at the ready if we had any concerns or questions. The view of the ocean was outstanding and the home was very well worn and felt comfortable like staying in someone’s home. The rental had everything we needed and the hints for places to see and dine were excellent. It was also very nice that the tvs had streaming options and the internet was strong. I’d recommend bringing firewood because there’s a nice fireplace ring outside with a wonderful view of the water. Our small dogs loved the house and there’s a small yard they can roam on with their leashes. It’s about 45 minutes to Bar Harbor and Acadia. We recommend this Rental!

The view was amazing from the large windows overlooking the ocean! Judy was great to communicate with and was very helpful with anything we needed. Very relaxing place.

While our group enjoyed the 9 day trip to Maine, the rental property had several unexpected inconveniences that were masked in the outdated photos posted on the advertisement. The pros: great location with amazing views, quiet and serene street that felt safe, reasonable drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor, and the property allows multiple dogs over 25 lbs (very hard to find.) The cons are many. The furniture, towels, and rugs are in a generally shabby and uncomfortable condition and need to be updated/replaced. When we arrived the house looked generally untidy, with dust on the shelves and in the corners and human hair scattered about. There are holes in the screens that allow bugs to enter the house, and several window blinds are missing the pull strings to raise and lower them. The master bath is not connected to the master bedroom, and should be labeled as an upstairs shared bath and not master bathroom. The Jacuzzi tub is too large for the water heater, and is thus unusable. The owner also had scheduled maintenance during our stay, for which we were only given 14 hours notice. She then proceeded to stay and interrupt breakfast rather than overseeing the work being done to the property. While we enjoyed the overall experience, the accommodations were not as cozy and comfortable as we had expected them to be.
