Overall great place. Great view. Alittle far from stuff but its ok. The view and property made up for that. You can tell the previous owners loved to garden. Whoever owns it now i would suggest updating some lighting. We had issues with turning lights on. Dont know if it was the outlets themselves or the fixtures. The bathroom ceiling could use some cleaning. Overall we had a great time. We would totally rebook and tell our family and friends.

Amazing Location

The kids went straight to the water and before we even checked out the house, plans were being made for our next vacation here and renting this property. Waterfront property, fire pit, beautiful garden, completely fenced in yard for the pups, separate sleeping quarters above the garage for those who want to retreat from the kiddos, we had absolutely nothing but great things to say about this property. We will be back!

Beautiful sunsets

Things owners could not help- Hurricane Lee and the barrage of acorns on the metal roof that kept us from sleeping. Otherwise- Very convenient to both parts of Acadia and the sunsets over the narrows were absolutely gorgeous. The multitude of stars were spectacular.

Very large house/property, everything you could need

Overall, the property was very large, and there was plenty of room for many people. The views in the back were lovely! The house was very clean on the inside, and I have to say it had the most well stocked kitchen of any home I have rented. Also, they gave more than enough towels, which is always appreciated. The few downsides I could mention would be that the garage side of the house needed a power washing, given it was the first impression when pulling in. Also, the garden/yard seemed overgrown, and those were the first things we saw. But, those were just minor things, and overall, the house was very nice and we got comfortable quickly!

Solid rental that fit our family

Although the location is a 35 minute drive from both sides of Acadia, it fit our needs and price range as a family of 6 with a dog. The home was well equipped and the rental agency was very thorough with communication. The back lawn access to the Narrows was lovely. Plenty of outdoor chairs. Kitchen materials were sufficient. The bathroom had a difficult time drying out after a few showers, even though there is a vent fan. The water was plenty hot. We did need to burn a candle often due to slight animal smells when returning to the house daily. Overall, it was what we expected from reading previous reviews.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Charming , clean, equipped with everything that you might think of. Located on a shoreline. Unfortunately house itself is 55 minutes away from majority of trails in Acadia National Park We had a power outage in the last night of stay because of storm and management was rude over the phone, but it was 7am on Sunday, so not a big deal, she did sent a follow up message few minutes later apologizing. Overall happy with my stay anyway

Very clean inside but needs work outside

We enjoyed our time at this property. Pretty good location to get to Schoodic Peninsula and Acadia. Though, getting to Acadia is a little far if that is your emphasis for your trip. The inside of the main house was very clean. Seating could be greatly improved. The furniture in the sunroom was almost unusable they were so uncomfortable. The kitchen needs some work. There are two lazy-susans, one of which almost fell on the floor when I tried to open it looking for a pot. Outside needs a lot or attention. It looks run-down and overgrown. You have to wind your way around bushes and plants to get to the front door. With Maine's tick problem, we were very careful to not touch any of the plants. The "garden" looks like it has not been touched in years. There are 4-5 falling-down wooden structures on the property. Just not appealing. Getting to the water is a problem. It is down a very steep hill over tree roots and decaying wooden stairs. The bench at the water front is overgrown with weeds and totally not usable.

This is our second year staying at Mariners Reach. We absolutely love it and so do the dogs! The kitchen has everything you need. I would say high chairs at the peninsula would be good!! The house is always clean. Our favorite place is the sunroom for having coffee and breakfast in the morning. We will definitely be back!!

Cottage by the tidal waters in Hancock

The best thing about our stay at Mariners reach was that it has a really nice large fenced in yard which our dog loved. The house itself was comfortable, although the property and house needs some love and repairs.-looks like it was well taken care of in the past with a beautiful garden. Most of what we needed was there, although we did not find any lobster crackers, no extra bags for the kitchen trashcan; only one extra roll of toilet paper in each of the bathrooms. we actually purchased some lobster crackers and pic forks, and also 4 placemats for the kitchen table from the dollar store - wasn’t very expensive, but they are nice touches to have. Washer and dryer worked well and were good to have there. Living room is comfortable - sunroom and deck were very nice to sit out on. There are window air conditioners for those hot days. The self-contained apartment above the garage was very nice.One caution: there is kind of a path down to the Mount Desert narrows tidal waters which at low tide was cool for our young adult children to explore, however, it’s very dangerous and steep- leaf-covered and kind of rocky. I would not advise it for older people or young children.

This property is truly a gem. My fiancée and I traveled with our 3 dogs who absolutely loved the fenced-in yard. The fencing is very secure, so we didn’t have to worry about our dogs escaping. The house was spotless. The sunroom was our favorite area of the house. Our stay was peaceful and picturesque. We watched a few sunsets by the water, which is just a short walk down the trail from the front yard. We loved it so much that we are already planning a return trip for next year. Our only constructive critiques include the need for a woodshed (there was chopped wood available for the fire pit, but it was all wet and wouldn’t burn - there were a ton of roadside firewood stands nearby though, so we were still able to get some wood & enjoy the fire pit), we wished the main bedroom had a queen bed (the queen bed is in the apartment area above the garage and not in the main house), and the mattresses weren’t too comfortable. None of these things would deter us from returning and are only being mentioned here as part of an honest review.
