    Clean cottage with great amenities and beautiful views! We were able to watch birds and seals from the sunporch while drinking our morning coffee. Host thought of everything and the holiday decorations made our stay very cozy. Host was very responsive and helpful, even sent someone over to plow the driveway after a snowstorm! We loved staying here and it was the perfect spot to stay while exploring the coast of Maine and Acadia National Park.

    This was an amazing place to stay and gave us a wonderful time as we visit visited Acadia national Park. We especially love the bonfire off the water.

    Beautifully kept and clean house! Great closet space in the bedrooms and all the essentials were available in the kitchen. When we arrived there was a surprise basket of snacks with some s’mores goodies- much appreciated! Very easy to contact our host during our stay.

    The house is lovely, the hosts went above and beyond and left fixings for s’mores fire wood for the pit,ect. The view is amazing and so quiet and relaxing! We will be back!

    We loved our stay at Rocky Beach! The property and home were exactly as described/pictured on the website. The cottage was decorated beautifully, and supplied everything we needed and more. The location was convenient to the lobster boats and Acadia Park, both which were very enjoyable. The firepit in the back yard by the beach was a great way to unwind after long days of sightseeing. The hosts were always just a message away, and responded to all our questions quickly. We will definitely plan to stay at Rocky Beach again!

    The cottage stay was just what we were looking for! From the fire pit down at the beach, to the gentle layout of the home. I’m a local in the vacationing business, and it met all of our needs very nicely! Thank you for having us!

    Enjoyed our stay at Rocky Beach. House is very well kept, clean and well organized. Loved the sandy/rocky beach front for fires at night (watching the stars) and sunrise in the morning. Hope to be back.

    We know this area well and there are lots of choices of where to stay. You will be so thankful you picked this property. The moment you enter, you will feel at home. It mirrors the pictures on line and you will have everything you need in the house. The sunporch was our favorite spot, facing the water while watching the lobstermen haul their traps, the blue herons, Canadian geese, loons and birds of many types. There is not one thing I would change; we will definitely choose this cottage again. My granddaughter especially loved the snack tray. I could go on and on about all the touches that were special. Thank you Alice for making our vacation perfect.

    Awesome location and beautiful setting. Very glad we stayed here versus closer to the chaos of Bar Harbor (that was great for the day trip, but too busy for me!)

    The house was perfect for us, well taken care of, clean and love how the hosts left some treats. We needed them after a long day of travel to get there when we checked in. The weather wasn't super cooperative, but on our first full day, it was clear. We watched the sunrise, that alone was worth the trip. It will be etched in my memory forever, just incredible and I would recommend, you won't regret it. The one thing most noticable was the quietness of the area, my girlfriend and I talked about that often, you can hear a pin drop there, so if that's important, you won't go wrong. You do trade off the quietness however with access to places to eat, so keep that in mind, be prepared to drive. We visited Acadia twice while we were there and once while in Bar Harbor, the park near the cottage has less people and is more beautiful than the Bar Harbor side, just amazing. The hosts did recommend we stop on our drive in at a grocery store for provisions and I urge anyone to do the same. There is a new place called Bunkers we found on our last day, never showed up on any internet searches,its about 15 minutes away, down the street of the ice cream shop and was awesome, both are, you won't regret the blueberry ice cream sandwhich at the ice cream place, had we known about Bunkers on day 1, probably would have eaten dinner there every night. If you are looking for quiet and willing to drive, you have found the ideal place, thank you Alice, you have a wonderful house, it was hard to leave

    The description on Vrbo is understated. This is a great get away from the population. Everything was great. We enjoyed the Schoodic Acadia near by and rate it as the best kept secret. We wanted to get away from people and found this to be a great spot. Enjoyed Lunch on the Wharf in Corea and the other close restaurants as well. Spent 2 hours in Bar Harbor and couldn’t get out fast enough. If it’s your scene, this is still a great place to stay and have your own beach privacy.

    The cabin and property are beautiful, updated, and well maintained. The hosts go above and beyond to ensure you have everything you need (i.e. binder with local attractions, helpful notes/instructions, warm/comfy blankets, great coffee bar area with ice maker, wood for camp fire, plenty of TP/paper towels etc.) The welcome note with snacks was a fun surprise and appreciated. They respond quickly to any questions as well. We spent a day in Bar Harbor/Acadia, found a lot to do & see there, and loved hiking in the park. Some may prefer the crowds and busy-ness of Bar Harbor, and the drive went fast if you want to spend more time there. We loved exploring the Schoodic Peninsula, and found we preferred the calm, peaceful atmosphere, which had plenty for us. We enjoyed seeing the fishing villages, wine tasting at Bartlett winery & distillery, trying local beers at Bunker's seafood & spirits, great ice cream at Me & Ben's Dairy Creme, a variety of sea & land food options not too far away, and friendly people/service everywhere we stopped. Our favorite spot was Schoodic Point, where we could have spent a full day climbing on the rocks and enjoying the spectacular view. We saw plenty of people biking and hiking at Acadia Schoodic and wished we'd had more time to do that too. It was a wonderful visit, and we would definitely come back!

    We had a wonderful time and the neighborhood was quiet. We were able to rest and recharge. We had everything we needed and it was very clean and host was accommodating. The view was breathtaking and we loved having the beach so close. It was a great way to spend our evenings. We will definitely be back
