About this property

BEAUTIFUL, FULLY RENOVATED OCEANFRONT COTTAGE WITH AMAZING VIEWS

This adorable cottage is open, light and spacious with incredible ocean views and a private saltwater pond! You can swim or float in the pond, launch a kayak or canoe right on the property. Relax on the large deck to watch the sunset, cook outside on the grill or star gaze at night! Watch the eagles, osprey, and sometimes seals and deer from the deck.

There are two bedrooms with new queen beds and organic bedding on the second floor, one with incredible waterfront views and the second with views out to the woods. We have recently put in large new windows and high ceilings to make rooms feel extremely comfortable. There is also seating in both rooms to comfortably read or have a cup of tea in your own space. The full bathroom is brand new in 2023, with a walk in shower, gorgeous vanity set up and new organic toweling.

The kitchen is remodelled with new appliances and everything you should need to cook daily. There is a beautiful breakfast nook and bar seating to watch the sea out the window as you drink your morning coffee or have an evening glass of wine.

The living room and dining room is open with lots of light, windows and original hardwood floors! The dining room seats 4 to 6, in front of the large windows with an ocean view. There is another small dining area outside on the terrace as well in case you want to eat right on the ocean.

The coveted Hancock Point spot is quiet and relaxing, but close to everything. Groceries, shopping, beaches, restaurants, tennis, sailing, hiking, are all close by!! For a day trip, you can get to Acadia National Park, and Schodic point in about 30 minutes. This house is ready to go for winter rentals as well and is perfect for a cozy winter stay. Cross country skiing in Acadia is a must do!

Please note the house is newly done with mostly white furniture so dogs and small children must be watched carefully if you are coming as a family.

Serene Getaway
This adorable bungalow in Hancock is on a beautiful waterfront setting without the tourist hoards that seem to be near Bar Harbor. Great location- close enough to parks and cities to enjoy them for the day and escape back to the privacy of our cottage. The home is immaculate, and the owner has outfitted it with natural fiber linens ( the beds were super comfy) and great smelling biodegradable soaps. I’m looking forward to a second stay!

Beautiful cottage— quiet and peaceful!
My husband and I absolutely loved our short getaway to Cora’s quaint cottage by the water. We brought along our sweet 5th born at just 6 weeks and all really enjoyed soaking in this amazing quiet retreat. The view is just breathtaking, we walked down to the water’s edge for sunrise and wished we’d had another day to just lazily enjoy the cottage and property but we went into Bar Harbor, ate tons of great food locally (thanks to Cora for so many recommendations) and hiked in Acadia. The house was incredibly clean, comfortable and cozy— the beds and pillows/linens were the best! Fell in love with walking outside the cottage into the crisp air and breathing in the overwhelming balsam fir smell in the air— just amazing!

Amazing, as always
This is the third year in a row we've been lucky enough to stay at this beautiful home in this incredible location. The pictures don't do justice to how charming the house is and how peaceful the area is. Our dog, who has joined us every year on our annual Acadia vacation, is almost 13 now and is very comfortable here. She enjoys snoozing on the deck listening to the ocean, and watching all the birds that stop by. Cora is a wonderful host who is always reachable if we need anything. We couldn't imagine staying anywhere else when we're visiting Acadia National Park.

Perfect Maine Cottage
We loved everything about this home. The water front setting, the views from the deck, the layout of the updated home. If was close enough to Acadia and Bar Harbor for day trips but away from the all the traffic and crowds. There are several great local Hancock restaurants and bars to enjoy . We hope to return !!

About the host

Hosted by Cora Hilts

Host profile image
My husband Jamie and I have been living in London for ten years now but have bought this house as a getaway near to where I grew up in Hancock, Maine. This is a very special place for us and we are thrilled to share it with people who respect it and are looking to reconnect with nature and a bit of quiet. As people living in the city ourselves, we appreciate how restorative this is and how important! We hope the house and the location bring a lot of joy to our visitors.

Why they chose this property

This unique property has private waterfront access, with a gorgeous walk down to the sea and salt water pond. The views are incredible, with lobster boats situated in the cove and daily sitings of eagles, seals, loons and our resident fox who lives in the woods next door. An amazing place to reconnect with the beauty of the natural world and switch off in the evenings with a glass of wine on our terrace that seats you high enough to see it all!

What makes this property unique

We have renovated the house in late 2022 to have beautiful high ceilings upstairs, a luxurious new bathroom with a walk in shower, and large windows to see the ocean and wood views better. There are new kitchen appliances for anyone wanting to stay in and cook, and a separate laundry room where you can do your washing with a sea view!
