    Check in was easy. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. The views are to die for. We had a great time kayaking with the seals. Very spacious for large families. The only bad thing was fire chairs were plastic and cracked. Not made for larger people.

    Look no further! This property has everything - outstanding views, including sunrises and sunsets. We enjoyed walking on the rocky beach and even swimming. The set up is perfect for multi-generational families with the detached king studio and ample gathering spaces in the house. Our host, Nicole was available and responsive for any questions, needs. All in all, a wonderful experience!

    We are regular visitors to Acadia and stayed at the Ocean Breeze cottage for the first time. We found the cottage to be spacious, well appointed and well cared for. The extra building was perfect for our daughter and SIL. The oceanfront location was very interesting with unique natural features to explore along the waterfront. Views from the cottages and yard are outstanding with beautiful sunsets and many seabirds to observe, along with the occasional seal. The hosts were very attentive to our communications and arranged for kayak rentals (including delivery and pickup). They provided a nice welcome package and very thorough information booklet for the cottage and surrounding areas. The kayaking was great, but be aware that getting them up/down the stairs is a two-person job and we suggest bringing sturdy water shoes for the rocks. The grill, outdoor furniture and spacious yard made a perfect place to unwind after a day of hiking in the Park. Early May is a great time to visit as the crowds are thin and parking within the Park is very manageable. The cottage is an easy 10 minute ride to Bar Harbor. We highly recommend this property for an Acadia vacation. Thanks to Nicole and Kyle for their hospitality!

    This house was just what we needed for our first trip to Maine. The location, with a great view of the bay and access to the water, was outstanding! The house had everything we needed for our stay. Bar Harbor is a short drive away if you’re looking for a great restaurant. But we chose to eat most of our meals at the house and enjoy the great views!

    This charming cottage has everything you need for a comfortable stay, and a view to make it memorable. The convenience to Acadia and Bar Harbor can’t be beat. We hope to go back!

    What an incredible stay. My friends and I (a group of women in mid 50’s) stayed at this lovely cottage in October of 2024. The landscape was painted in fall colors providing absolutely majestic views. The house is tucked away in a cute little neighborhood cove. Even though there are plenty of neighbors around you feel like you have total privacy because you can’t see a single one. Everything about the home was great and we were all quite comfortable, we had everything we needed during our 5 day stay. A few basic spices in the cabinet, a roll of paper towels, toilet paper and a very well equipped kitchen meant we would have a thing we needed for any meal we wanted to cook. We only needed to hit the grocery store for a few groceries one time and that was on our way in. The cabin was clean, cozy and simply perfect for our needs. The owner was easy to get in touch with and always responded promptly. She has gone to a lot of trouble to equip the cabin and provides a booklet of any information you might need to know while staying there and visiting the area. I cannot wait to get back again

    We were looking for a quiet place to stay, this mostly lived up to that (except the loud lobster boats motoring by early in the morning). The location is great- it wasn't far to Acadia or to downtown. We loved being on the water. We were under the impression that kayaks were available at the house (since they are shown in a photo and the description mentioned kayaking), but found out just before check in that we'd have to pay an extra fee to rent them. Not that big of a deal, just wish the listing had been clearer. We did not use the studio building, so I can't speak to that, but the king bed in the main house was comfortable. That bedroom got very hot overnight (even though it was down into the 40s and we had the heat turned way down so the rest of the house was freezing.) Three stars for cleanliness: not that the house looked dirty exactly, but more like it had been cleaned maybe a week or more before we arrived. Spiders had taken up residence in the bathtub and there were some cobwebs and dead bugs below the vanity. The house is mostly dated, living room furniture looks worn, but the bathrooms are nicely updated. These were small issues that didn't ruin our trip; overall we had a great time - even saw a seal while out kayaking. Note that getting the kayak down to the shore is treacherous with a 90 degree turn down the narrow stairs; you need someone strong. Also at high tide the water covers the bottom few steps so getting in and out is tricky.

    We stayed with a family of 7 and had plenty of room. The view and walk along the beach makes this a must stay location. Would definitely stay again.

    My husband, three children and I went to Bar Harbor with my parents. They stayed in the guest house and we stayed in the main house. It was PERFECT! We had plenty of space and enough separation to do our own thing. This is a must stay!

    Beautiful property! Listing was very accurate, pictures were spot on. Location was quiet and peaceful but a short drive to both Bar Harbor and Acadia. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place to anyone visiting MDI!

    This was the sixth time we have stayed in this house, which has been updated by Nicole in the past few years. We saw porpoises, seals, and a variety of seabirds from the house and collected so much seaglass from the beach. The price has certainly increased and is on the higher end, but the location, house, and guest cottage are excellent
