Fantastic home base to explore Acadia. Enjoyable to leave the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor and Acadia. 20-30 minute drive to Acadia very manageable. The bedrooms were very comfortable and kitchen well stocked. If we visit the Maine coast again we would definitely return.
We greatly enjoyed our stay here. The views were fantastic, and the home was spacious and very well taken care of. And the location was quiet, and we felt like we had the bay to ourselves.
Perfect location for family. Comfortable and quiet yet close to a number of things to see and do. This was our third summer vacationing at Heather Cove, creating wonderful family memories.
Great home for our adult family of 6. Beautiful location on water. Out of busy congestion but close enough to all things Acadia. Really a great space. Love having amenities like trash bags, ziplock bags, soap along with many kitchen supplies.
Beautiful place and beautiful weather! We all enjoyed the loungers/beach, board games, and access to Acadia. We loved cooking and eating on the deck. We really appreciated the guide to the area, of which we took advantage.
We loved the view and the privacy of the location. The kitchen was well equipped and family room was comfortable. The upstairs lounge is larger and more comfortable than the photos. The bed sizes are not quite as listed in secondary bedrooms. Great place overall.

Thank you for the kind review. And glad you had a wonderful time. Apologies for the error in the Twin beds on second floor. They are regular size Twin beds, while the ones on the first floor are TwinXL. We’ve made the correction in our description.
We had an incredible time on our vacation. We loved walking on the beach several times a day and finding sea glass. The location is perfect to access Bar Harbor and Acadia.
We had a wonderful stay for our family vacation to Acadia National Park. The house had everything we needed. Such beautiful views right in the back yard. We enjoyed walking the beach at low tide. And at night we had a bonfire and looked at the beautiful sky with so many visible stars and even the milkyway. We also enjoyed playing games in the sitting area. The location was perfect for everything we wanted to do on our trip. Everyone said this was one of their favorite family vacations and Heather Cove Cottage was amazing.
The location is beautiful with view of the bay from the back of house. Great location to get to places easily and very quiet. Spacious house for a lovely visit.
This was a lovely property for a lovely stay. The location was convenient, the house comfortable, very clean and well-stocked. The beach was excellent for the kids to play, explore and swim. Of the many VRBO properties we’ve stayed at, I’d definitely recommend this one.
Everything in this house is exactly as described. Very clean, comfortable, and has everything you could need. Great location, close to town and bar harbor, but very private. We enjoyed the local wildlife and even saw two bald eagles fishing just off shore. Wonderful beach as well! Thanks for a great stay!

Thank you for your nice review! We are so glad to hear the home and property was perfect for you and your family. And that you got to see two bald eagles in action is amazing! They are truly magnificent birds and a joy to watch!
Quiet, Serene and Comfortable with a Magnificent View
Beautiful property far enough away from the crowds to be quiet yet close enough to get to where we wanted to go. Home is well-stocked and tastefully furnished. The highlight was the stunning view. Home is large enough for a good sized family. Enjoyed very much.
Great week with my daughter, son in law and 18 month old grandson. Property details were very accurate.

I (Daria) manage the rental operations for the current owner of Heather Cove. Scott and I formerly owned Heather Cove, but though we sold the home, we continue to manage the rentals for the new owner. Also, the cleaning and caretaking crews are the same and will continue to provide excellent care and maintenance for this lovely home.
Why they chose this property
Incredible unobstructed view of the bay and Blue Hill. Flat, shoreline with more sand than usual around these parts! The sunsets are truly sublime. The cove area is shallow so warms up nicely in summer - perfect for swimming and wading.
