Hancock House, waterfront, charming, elegant,

This property had everything we needed. It was very Clean, and well stocked with items you would not think of (aluminum foil,etc). I would recommend this to everyone, and if we go to Maine again, we will definitely reserved this house.

If your looking for an inexpensive place to sleep with a great view and not concerned with a 50 minute drive to Acadia and a dirty dated house, this is the place for you. Otherwise, there was a lot not to be desired. House is nice on the outside but dated and dirty on the inside. Great potential but needs work like a new towel bar and toilet paper dispenser in the first floor bathroom and a toilet paper dispenser in the 2nd floor bathroom. Needs to be throughly cleaned and nasty towels replaced. Thankful to have a place to stay by the park when booked 3 weeks before our trip, but would not stay here again.

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.

Located in a quiet area overlooking the water. Just a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the beautiful state of Maine. Quaint stores and plenty of seafood. We loved the house and it's access to so many activities. I will definitely go back. Thank you Judith.

We really enjoyed our stay at this vacation rental. The location was fantastic—peaceful, quiet, and with beautiful views and easy access to the Cove, which made for some great outdoor time. The house itself was spacious and had plenty of room for everyone to spread out comfortably.The host was very responsive and easy to contact, which we appreciated.There were a couple of drawbacks worth noting: we had some trouble with fruit flies during our stay, likely due to the season, and the living room furniture wasn’t the most comfortable. There was also a noticeable dog odor on the furniture Overall, the positives definitely outweighed the negatives, and with a few small updates, this place could be truly outstanding.

Judy is a lovely host! Great location for seeing the Schoodic Peninsula and very dog friendly.

Exactly what we were looking for. It was quiet, relaxing and beautiful. We fell in love with Maine and this house was the perfect location to explore. Easy to get to Acadia National Park and plenty of fun local places to eat.

I have been debating making this review after reading the backlash of the property owner to all negative reviews. There were many excellent reviews and I’m not sure how they were obtained. Every previous negative review all the way back to 2016 are absolutely accurate! I just wished I had scrolled past the positive and read them all before booking! While the location was beautiful the house was in tremendous disrepair and filthy! Furniture was not only broken down and uncomfortable it REAKED of dog. We even purchased Febreeze which barely masked the smell. Animals had scratched the fabric of all living room furniture. Not to mention if you could tolerate the smell it was too broken down and uncomfortable! The floors were filthy as was everything inch of the house! No we did not contact Judy because after reading the other negative reviews and observing that it had not been resolved even now we saw no point in ruining our vacation further. We just cleaned it ourselves and went about enjoying our vacation. I must also mention that the dumpster outside was never emptied and animals got in it every night and strung it all over! We cleaned the cobwebs in every room and all the floors and the bathtub was especially disgusting. The lack of upkeep was evident when you walked in the door! After much consideration we realized that we had to prevent others from wasting their hard earned money on renting this place. Judy should be ashamed!

The house sat right on Frenchman’s bay. A beautiful view each day. The location was perfect for us to access both parts of ANP. Lots of great food choices in the area. We went to Tracy’s 2x.

Excellent stay! Cozy house in beautiful surroundings. Whole family loved having a fire pit near the water!! Host had fresh flowers in every room. This was an unexpected delight! I would happily book this house again. Our family included myself, 4 grandkids in their twenties and a two year old.

The place was filthy. Smelled of mold. The floors were dirty, kitchen sink was disgusting, hazardous extension cords running across the floors, TV situated on the floor, peeling paint, broken screen door and a huge dumpster with garbage strewn about for you viewing pleasure. Contacted the owner who thinks it is a gem. Wow...

Beautiful location overlooking the bay. Sun rises were beautiful each morning with a seal visitor one day! 30-40 minutes to Bar Harbor, Acadia park-a must see and about 10 from Schoodic point (also Acadia park) and also a must see! Judy was super nice and had everything ready including fresh flowers upon our arrival!

Has everything you need and great access to beach below. Close to nearby excellent hikes. It was a relaxing stay.

Wonderful hostess and so welcoming. Very homey feeling. Great floor plan.

House is right off the rocky beach with low tides that allow for scavenger hunts in the shallows. House is kid friendly, didn’t feel like our 6 year old would break stuff. Brought kayaks and could access the coastline. Didn’t see many other folks during our stay. Easy drive to Acadia and other fun spots. Small cottage next door would make a good larger group stay easy since the properties share the outdoor space and beach access.

We arrived after dark at this house and were treated to a spectacular treat when we woke up as we were looking directly out at the ocean. The views here are gorgeous. We loved opening all the windows and feeling the breeze off the water and listening to all the sounds. The water is a short walk and a lot of fun to visit and search for shells and crabs. The check-in process was flawless and Judy called to check in a couple of times to make sure everything was going well. The home is equipped with everything one would need and also has a fire pit, which ended up being one of our favorite things - listening to fire crackling and waves hitting the rocks. The location is also great. It’s about 40-50 minutes away from Acadia National Park, but the drive is easy and there is so much to see and do along the way. Overall, we were extremely pleased and would highly recommend this home and Judy to anyone. The fresh flowers throughout the house were a nice bonus.

My family & I stayed at Judy’s home which is in the perfect location if you’re looking to spend time in Bar Harbor/Acadia (about 45 mins away). Judy called me upon our arrival to ensure a smooth check in. She also added fresh cut flowers throughout the house which was a nice touch! Not long after checking in, Judy texted me to confirm that there were no issues with the house - very thoughtful. You can follow a short path down from the house to the bay where you can swim. We had a pretty enjoyable stay at the house where we spent a lot of time BBQing and using the fire pit at night. During the day we were hardly at the house, so this didn’t matter too much to us but I feel that it’s important to leave in the review. There was poop in the toilet when we arrived, like someone had forgotten to flush and the toilet was not cleaned. There was also dirt/hair on the floor of each room that we swept prior to unpacking our things. We took care of these things and that was that. I do recommend this house but it could have been cleaner.

The view is incredible. We watched harbor seals, Eagles and loons each morning in front of the property. Bar Harbor is approximately 40 min drive and the same to the much quieter schoodic part of acadia. We had a few small issues on arrival but Judy was quick to work with us and did here best to resolve the issues. The beach is rocky as noted in the discription but full of shells and sea glass. A peaceful place to walk in the morning. If looking for a quiet place this is a good one.
