    We had a wonderful time. The cottage proved to be far beyond our expectations. It is very clean and beautifully decorated. We looked forward to returning there each evening after our daytime outings. We would definitely enjoy staying there again!

    This was our second stay at Island Sky and we were so glad to be back! This cottage is so lovely, well appointed and comfortable. It’s close to all the attractions that Acadia and downtown Bar Harbor have to offer but just off the beaten path enough to provide peace and quiet. Watching the sunrise from the deck is an amazing way to start your day! We had a wonderful visit and hope to return again next year.

    Right on the water with views from the deck and the living room second time we stayed there. Great convient location to Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor and the Schoodic Peninsula.

    The house was lovely! We had beautiful views and enjoyed watching the wildlife- we say eagles, seals, and a lot of seagulls! The house was clean and comfortable. The perfect size and spot for a couple. The kitchen was nicely stocked. We also had another couple over for a dinner several times and there was space for hosting small dinner parties. I had a minor dental emergency during the trip; a crown popped off and went down the drain. We called the rental company and the owner came over and retrieved it from the sink the next day. A wonderful visit and great hosts!

    Newly renovated, great experience, close to everything but not so close to be surrounded by the traffic and noise.

    This was the nicest place we have ever stayed. Everything about it was perfection: the view, the decor, the amenities, kitchen supplies, extra pillows on the bed, extra blankets in the house, in addition to being spotlessly clean. We would love to stay here every year.

    Island Sky was perfect for my husband and me. It’s cute, clean and cozy. The location is great. The scenery changes constantly with the rise and fall of the tides which is fascinating. Sunrises and moonrises were breathtaking. The house was equipped with everything we could have needed. The only reason I didn’t give five stars is the mattress. That mattress needs an update for sure. Besides that, I would highly recommend Island Sky to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat.

    House is wonderfully located, clean, and well stocked. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. One of the cleanest and well kept VRBOs we have stayed at. Enjoyed our first time in Maine!

    Perfect place to enjoy privacy, views and a serene place to start and end each day. The views, surrounding, decor, porches, lawn.. were all perfect. There was ample space to relax outdoors, but the provision of some outdoor activities, such as cornhole, a fire ring, would have been nice, to provide ways to more fully enjoy the outdoor spaces of this property!

    We couldn’t have been more pleased with this charming property. It was a great place to start our day and unwind at night after exploring Acadia/ Bar Harbor/MDI. This beautifully renovated property is perfect for a couple seeking privacy, serene views and relaxation! We will definitely be back!!

    We were so happy to find Island Sky for a last minute trip. The house was so cozy with amazing water views! Great for bird watching. House was beautifully decorated. One set back was the one bathroom was on the first floor and the bedroom was upstairs. Great cottage for 2 people!
