Our family of 11 (6 adults and 5 kids) stayed for 7 nights while exploring Acadia, and we had a wonderful vacation. The property is absolutely beautiful, with breathtaking harbor views. The home was spotless, check-in was seamless, and the pool was a huge hit with the kids. (We chose not to pay the additional 200/day to heat it, so it was too chilly for most of the adults.)A few things we wish we’d known before booking: a full background check is required to rent (no issue just unexpected), and the listing photos don’t show that every arm chair, couch, and dining chair is covered with heavy protective plastic or vinyl. While I understand wanting to protect the furnishings, it made the home feel less comfortable and welcoming than we expected. Combined with the owner stopping by a few times during our stay to grab items from the garage, it felt more like staying in someone’s personal home than a vacation rental.Of note: the departure instructions appeared to require washing and folding all linens, mopping floors, mowing the lawn, touching up paint, and more. We set alarms for 5am before realizing it was a joke and that all that’s actually required is locking the door. We can laugh about it now, but after a week where the home had not felt laid back and relaxing, the joke didn’t quite land for us.With that said, this is a gorgeous property in a spectacular location. We made incredible family memories here, and I hope this review helps future guests know what to expect.
