What a lovely home! So many special touches, from the large fluffy bath towels to the upstairs coffee bar next to beautiful sitting area for viewing the cove to the 4 Adirondack chairs that caught the warmth of the afternoon sun. Being on the water was the best! Jacqueline’s responses to our questions were quick and kind. An overall excellent experience.

Hands down this is by far the best rental property I've ever stayed at. The location is super convenient to Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park, and various restaurants and stores. The home is in excellent condition with very comfortable living rooms and bedrooms. We loved enjoying the view of Salisbury Cove...such a peaceful location! Appreciated how well stocked and decorated the house was...every little detail was accounted for. Hope to be back for another visit some day!

Wonderful house for our family of four visiting Bar Harbor / Acadia for the first time. The house was clean, well kept, and the check in process was hassle free. Location is terrific … convenient to both Acadia and downtown Bar Harbor. The views from inside and outside were beautiful … enjoyed watching the sunset shimmering off the water each night to close our day.

Beautiful location on the cove. Quiet and lots of nature to enjoy. Just a short drive to everything we wanted to do and see. Home was clean and was perfect for our family vacation. Loved having the fire pit for lots of family time and laughs at night. The coffee bar upstairs was great!

We could not say enough great things about this stay! It was the perfect home base for us to explore Acadia National Park. We enjoyed bonfires by the water, played games around the table, and had amazing views from the large windows. We had 5 adults and there was more than enough room for everyone! It was decorated so cute. Had everything we needed and more! Would stay again in a heartbeat.

Absolutely the best!

This property and our stay were absolutely delightful. Breathtaking views were always available. The house offered more than its listing promised and featured outstanding attention to detail. It was probably the best vacation accommodation we've had.

Cozy well-appointed and fully equipped property on a large private and peaceful lot sloping to the cove. Quiet location but very handy to everything the island has to offer! Host very accommodating, communicative & welcoming. Our only regret was not staying longer.

Really nice house in a great location. I’ve stayed in a bunch of places around MDI and this ranks as one of the best. The yard and views are fantastic, the house had everything we could have wanted, and access to both the park and town were super easy.
