We had a wonderful six night stay in early October. Three generation family and we all agreed, it was the nicest VRBO stay we have ever had. Great house - great location. The communication with the host prior and during the visit was thorough and helpful. The house is really well laid out with a large common area and a great porch to gather. Great accessibility to Acadia. Cannot recommend highly enough

The property location was very nice. Easy drive to everything on the island but remote at the same time. The sunrises are amazing. Plenty of room and comfortable for 8 people. Well stocked kitchen and bathrooms. Peter was always available, check in was easy. Driveway is quite steep, I recommend having a 4 wheel dive car if you plan on staying here.

This rental absolutely lived up to its high rating. The location couldn’t be better—just minutes from the park entrance, yet the cabin felt private and secluded. It was the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor, and the views were truly stunning.We loved the digging for mussels down at the beach (delicious!) and found the kitchen to be well-equipped for cooking. Peter was communicative and a pleasure to work with throughout the entire stay.Our only (very minor) issue was that the tap water had a strong metallic taste, so we ended up buying bottled water during our stay. Definitely not a deal breaker, but worth mentioning.Overall, a wonderful experience—our family would happily stay here again!

Family Trip to Remember!

Our family trip to Acadia was a huge success! How can you go wrong, though, with a beautiful national park and such a wonderful house to come back to each afternoon/evening! The location of the house was fantastic for all of our exploring. Views from the deck for sunrise and to watch the seals, dolphins, and eagles, were simply divine! Peter was great in his communication with us and ensuring that our trip was excellent! Couldn't have asked for more!

Adult family getaway

Property owner was very attentive. Instructions provided were comprehensive and the house was well appointed. Loved the popover pan and espresso machine. Enjoyed harvesting fresh mussels. Beautiful view from deck of Frenchman Bay. Great access to Acadia and hiking. Great access to Bar Harbor. We were 4 couples age range 25 yrs to 60 yrs. Plenty of room for everyone.

Breathtaking views

It was a vacation for a grown family with 2 young grandchildren. Nana, Papa and aunts and uncles. Kitchen was terrific as we did all our own cooking. Nice size fridge for a weeks groceries for 10! WiFi worked well for a few that had to work remotely. Great time in a large comfortable home. If I were to offer any suggestions, making more bath towels available would be nice.

Quiet location w/ beautiful view

We were 3 adult couples visiting Acadia Park. Layout allowed us to spread out - 1 bed/bath on each floor, 1 bdrm was unused. Older home so you can hear people going up/down stairs at night. Location was quiet, away from hustle and bustle but close enough to Bar Harbor, Acadia and some convenient restaurants nearby. Beautiful view from deck and fun to walk down and explore the shore. Kitchen was well stocked and we appreciated items in pantry, condiments and plenty of spices. House could use some general minor maintenance but overall we enjoyed our stay.

Amazing Maine Location & Host

Everything about our stay was fantastic! The location was the perfect place for any weather from sun to rain, with plenty of space indoors/outdoors/and even a screened in covered porch. We enjoyed relaxing in the comfy deck chairs to the sounds of waves lapping below and gulls calling. It was so utterly peaceful that even if you didn’t leave the house to venture into Acadia or Bar Harbor (both extremely close) you could still call it a vacation well spent! The beds were comfy, the kitchen was the best appointed kitchen I’ve had in a rental hands down, and there were games handy to play if you wanted to. The Host was super responsive and provided really well-written instructions for everything, we had no issues with anything at all! If you’re looking for a family friendly space to get the essential Maine experience with, Overlook is the spot!

Fabulous Maine Home on Water

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Overlook. The house is large and located back in the woods on a beautiful part of Frenchman's Bay. There is a large deck with a gorgeous view of the water; a great place to relax with a cup of tea, book or even cell phone. The house is very clean and spacious with a nice loft on the second floor and another balcony off the MBR. The 2 BRs on the 2nd FL share a bath with a swinging saloon door going into the bathroom. The common areas are very nice with a comfy LR and large table for dining. The screened in porch is also a nice place to eat if it's not raining. Our grandkids enjoyed the deck, yards and we did S'mores by the fire pit. There are 2 other smaller homes on the property but you have privacy if you want or you can hang with your neighbors by the firepit. The location is ideal. An entrance to Acadia is nearby and the ride into Bar Harbor is only about 10-15 minutes, depending on traffic. There are a few restaurants in the immediate area and many more in Bar Harbor and Southwest Harbor. Peter, the owner, was very communicative before we got there and promptly answered all the questions we had about the property and area. He has tons of info about Acadia trails and restaurants in the Bar Harbor area. There are steps on the adjoining property which go down to the water; the steps are a little steep and there are rocks at the bottom so it's not a beach per se. We would suggest new chairs for the deck; some are very worn.

A little hideout

This place is in a wonderful location. Wooded and right on water. The walk to th shore is made of wood steps. The shore is just peaceful and so natural. With all those little creature in the water and under the seaweeds. The sunrise and sunset over the water is mesmerizing. The deck is so memorable to sit with family and chat. Downtown Bar Harbor is fun to walk around. Lots of quick bites and all tasty. The waterfront grassy area is like in a painting. Sailing boats passing by, people and kids, family and friends…There is a lobster roll place right nearby where you can order takeout lobster rolls and borrow their tarps to sit on the grass. That was a real treat. We used the public transportation to get where we wanted to go. We walked from the property to a camp ground nearby to ride the bus. The walk is about 10 to 15 minutes. The bus is always on time and the drivers are very pleasant. The owner, Peter, even brought in a cake for us to enjoy. We never met but he and I communited well through messaging. No issues. Washing machine and dryer are in good working order. Kitchen supplies are plenty. Again, I want to mention that deck. Its image stuck in my mind. And a bald eagle will come by every day to perch right in front of us. Gorgeous. She must have a nest nearby. We were with our kids and grandkids there for a week. And that week is full of warm memories. Thanks for making this possible.

The view off the back porch and the overall charm of the property makes this place special! We saw seals everyday while sitting in the back porch. At night you get a great clear view of the stars! We had everything we could need available to us! With Acadia and bar harbor just a short drive away it makes this house a home run!
