Perfectly located, we are less than a mile to Acadia National Park Visitor Center and the free Island Explorer shuttle, 2/10ths of a mile to the seashore, and 3 miles to Downtown Bar Harbor's shops and restaurants.

Located on a private lane in lovely little Hulls Cove, a short walk takes you to the little beach at Hulls Cove, and our 5 local businesses.

Neighboring Acadia National Park’s scenic carriage roads are unmatched for walking biking and horseback riding. Its breathtaking mountain trails for hiking, and its lovely lakes for swimming and canoeing.

There is a wonderful sense of history throughout this spacious house, but we also love modern conveniences and comfort and feel that it all works together beautifully.
There are ceiling fans in every room, those in the bedrooms team up with our cool summer nights for maximum sleeping comfort.

There are 3 upstairs bedrooms, each have a queen size bed with a wonderful original bed head (we left the foot boards off in consideration of our taller guests). Next to the bedrooms is the upstairs bathroom with its lovely original wood wainscoting, marble washstand and large walk-in tiled shower.

There are 2 bedrooms downstairs; ‘Windward' has one queen and one twin size sleigh bed, ‘Southerly’ has 2 x-long twin beds. A sleeper sofa in the very large living room offers additional sleeping for two.

The sizable downstairs bathroom has a walk-in shower. Our bed and bath linens are all 100% pure cotton and laundered with skin-sensitive products. Soap, tissues, make-up remover, Q-tips and toilet paper are found in each bathroom.

A half bath and laundry are also conveniently located downstairs.

There is seating for 8 around the oak ding table, and for 5 at the bar, plenty of dishes, silverware, and glassware. The kitchen is well stocked with cookware, useful spices, a lobster pot, and all the usual under the sink items.

Enjoy outdoor dining on the large wrap around deck, with 2 sets of patio doors it provides lots of space for relaxing and dining. The grill is gas, and the propane is provided. We are baby-ready with a pack 'n play, baby gates, highchair, and booster seat. The lawn is a perfect place for children to play safely.

This is a family property that has seen a lot of love over the years, and we are delighted to share it with you.

*Our flexible Cancellation Policy:

This house was so nice, clean & comfortable! There was plenty of space for our party of 6- it’s bigger than it looks in the photos. The beds were very comfortable. Plenty of paper products, nice linens and towels, extra amenities in the bathroom (qtips, face wipes). The location is perfect- close to Bar Harbor but away from the hubbub and walking distance to the ocean and a couple restaurants.We especially enjoyed watching the chickens, ducks, turkeys and deer through the kitchen slider!

Maine was having warmer temps then usual. The house doesnt have a/c, but more then enough fans. The host, miss Trisha, met us one day and we got to speak with her. She is a vert sweet lady, and if we needed anything, she was right there to take care of it. The location is great, the price was great, and my family and i had a blast in maine!

The cottage was cute, well-appointed and very functional. Well stocked with virtually everything that we needed. Secluded so it was quiet, yet close (minutes) to Bar Harbor proper. Able to do some star gazing on cloudless nights from the back deck. GPS recognized the address which was very beneficial. Had 7 adults staying there and didn't have any trouble with hot water supply. Tower fans and cross ventilation with open windows alleviated the need for AC even during an August trip,

The Captain's House was fantastic for our recent family vacation. It was very spacious, clean, and well-equipped. It is also in a great location to enjoy different activities in Acadia and on MDI. We loved being able to walk to Hull's Cove. The host was very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. We would stay here again in an instant!

We had a wonderful stay at this vacation rental! The location couldn’t be better—just minutes from Acadia National Park and downtown Bar Harbor, making it so easy to explore and enjoy everything the area has to offer. The home itself was spotless, spacious, and stocked with every amenity we could possibly need. After long days of hiking and sightseeing, we loved gathering around the kitchen table to play games together—it truly felt like a home away from home. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Wonderful place to stay

We really enjoyed our stay. The owner provided all basic needs (paper towels, toilet paper, etc.) which was awesome because we traveled from PA to ME and we didn't have to pack these items. The house was in a great location and a nice size for our family and friends. We hope to go back sometime.
