We LOVED staying here. The host was excellent- so great at communicating and even offering suggestions for things to do at our request. The house was VERY clean and well kept- Especially the bathrooms and bedrooms, which is super important to me. Because guests are responsible for dishes- I did knock off one star for cleanliness. This has nothing to do with the host and everything to do with previous guests. When cooking I did need to wash two pans before I could use them because they had something sticky in them- but honestly I’m a germ person and I always rinse things before anyway. The house description was very accurate - great location- I gave 4 stars out of five because there is quite a bit of road noise that we noticed at night. That would not affect us choosing this place again. 5/5 would stay here again, I’d just bring a sound machine. The location was amazing- we were close to town to enjoy it, but out far enough we had quiet mornings to ourselves on the deck. The views are absolutely better than the photos and my kids could not get enough of finding shells and rocks along the beach. Also- we realized our last night- you can walk along the rocky coast a short distance to a restaurant for happy hour that has great drinks and appetizers- such a fun way to end the day!! We were so happy here and I hope future guests are also!!

Great Location for Acadia and Bar Harbor
The property was very nice. The location was excellent. I'll be honest the cleaning fee that is tacked on to renting the house on top of the instructions that "there can't be dishes in the dishwasher, broom swept, and very minimal laundry remaining when you leave" makes me question what does the cleaning person do. Other than that our stay was fantastic and I would recommend others to stay here as well.

Wonderful Place
Couldn't ask for much more. This is a clean, well-equipped property in a great location - right on a protected bay with calm waters. It's just minutes from Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. The only drawback is it's on the main highway, so there is some traffic noise.

Cute place/great location
This place was really nice. You cannot beat the view from the deck. Property was clean and the location is great! Very close to lots of restaurants and Acadia. Neighbors are very friendly. Loved using the kayaks. My only 2 complaints are the traffic noise (house is right off a main road) and the upstairs beds are not the most comfortable (very firm mattresses).

Lovely MDI/Acadia property
This is a new, nicely designed house in a wonderful location. We particularly loved the view of the cove from the windows and the deck. The location is very convenient for getting to both Bar Harbor and Acadia, by car, bus or bicycle. Kayaking in the cove made it really special! The only negative is that the front of the house is right on a relatively busy road, so there's quite a bit of traffic noise.

Retreat on the Water
Newer cottage on Hulls Cove with air conditioning provided a perfect location and size for our family of six. The home is in close proximity to the entrance of Acadia, Trenton, and Bar Habor, but provided an opportunity to step away from the summer crowds to enjoy a peaceful afternoon of skipping stones on your own private beach.

The absolute perfect view!
I couldn’t believe we were able to find a rental with such a wonderful view so close to town. The VRBO was perfect for us and our friends with great access to explore the beach below. We loved sitting in the living room or out on the porch in the morning. We even saw a deer come across in front of our rental one morning. You are only a 3 minute drive from town and about a 10 minute drive from Acadia. We fell in love with Mount Desert island and highly recommend staying here if you visit.

This property was 8 mins out of downtown bar harbor so it was easy enough to go into town for food or shopping but you still get the remoteness that you are looking for. The house is spacious and was a good size for two couples and an infant.

Can't wait to return
The house was set up beautifully. The common living area was perfect for our combination of family and friends. With three bedrooms and bathrooms there's lots of space for privacy as needed. The kitchen has everything we needed. The best feature is the deck and living room windows directly overlooking the cove. It's a perfect place to catch the sunrise. We surely would have utilized the kayaks as well but it's a bit too late in the season for us.
The proximity to town and to Acadia is great - just a couple of miles away.
The only downside is the noise from the road, but that didn't cause us much of an issue.
We'll surely be coming back here again!
Thanks for sharing your awesome house with us :-)

Covend Guest House
Covend Guest House was a comfortable, convenient place to stay. My only issues are with the lack of TV channels, no batteries for the TV remote in the bedroom, challenging access to the "beach," and lack of access to both loop road entrances. Having said that, I would stay here again.
