Stunning bayside views of sunrise and water birds. Gourmet kitchen that is well stocked. Comfortable beds, linens, and living space. Only one problem, very poor water pressure. I don’t recommend showers. Sponge bath works for us. Made it feel a little more rustic. We had a wonderful family vacation! Very pet friendly.

The communication with the host prior and during the visit was thorough and helpful. The house is really well laid out with a large common area and a great porch to gather. Great accessibility to Acadia. Cannot recommend highly enough

The property location was very nice. Easy drive to everything on the island but remote at the same time. The sunrises are amazing. Plenty of room and comfortable for 8 people. Well stocked kitchen and bathrooms. Peter was always available, check in was easy. Driveway is quite steep, I recommend having a 4 wheel dive car if you plan on staying here.
