• 2/5

  Not a good set up for seniors or people with mobility issues. The stairs needed better railings and the lower stairs were very challenging, even though you could enter from the back of the house it wasnt always convenient. We couldn't see that accurately from the online pictures. May want to mentions those stairs in the listing. Really needs some updating with nicer used furnature. Really rough furniture that was too low and difficult to get out of. Twin beds upstairs had really firm mattresses. I had to add comforters as a topper to be comfortable enough to sleep. We really enjoyed the area though and Jessica was very responsive when we contacted her.This was definitely more of a cabin like set up than what we realized.

  Manager's Response:

  We're glad you enjoyed the area and appreciated Jessica’s responsiveness, though we're sorry some aspects fell short of your expectations. We sent your feedback to the homeowner, who wanted to share the following:
  – Our listing currently notes that this is a multi-level cottage with an exterior staircase required to enter, and interior stairs to reach bedrooms on the upper and lower levels. There is a bedroom and bathroom on the first floor, but we're considering options to make the staircase details even clearer for guests with mobility concerns.
  – We’re also planning additional updates during the upcoming off-season, so we appreciate you sharing your suggestions.
  Thanks for your thoughtful review, so we can continue raising the bar for future guests.

• Perfect family getaway

  5/5

  Our stay on Starfish Lane was magical. From the first night laying on blankets on the lawn for stargazing, to exploring Raccoon Cove in the kayaks during all different tide levels, we truly got to experience Maine. The deer walked through the yard regularly, and we even saw a fat porcupine waddling across the road on our way out of town. The house had all we needed and was off the beaten path, but close enough for us to explore Acadia and Bar Harbor during the day.

• Quaint and Scenic Cottage

  5/5

  We truly loved our stay at this cottage! It was perfect for our family of 9 with kids. We had plenty of space. The kids loved walking to the beach and kayaking. We even enjoyed eating dinners with a view and even spotted seals one night during dinner. The host was super helpful at all times! We would recommend this to anyone visiting the Acadia/Bar Harbor area.

  What an amazing stay we had! Waking up with amazing views of the ocean, we didn't want to leave the cottage! Very convenient location to Acadia but far enough away that we had quiet and solitude at the cottage. Host recommended we stop at Acadia Provisions for grilling meats and they were spot on. Great grill setup and full kitchen and we cooked most of our meals at home. We would come back again!

• Homey Cottage on the Bay

  5/5

  My family and I had a wonderful stay here. The large windows that line the back of the house show off beautiful views of the bay. It was very spacious and had everything you could need. If you’re looking for fancy, this isn’t it, but a wonderful family spot. I highly recommend and would stay again.
