Acadia Seaside Cottage, Family & Pet Friendly, 400 ft from shore. Has AC WiFi

The cottage has AC. Acadia seaside cottage, 400 ft. from the rocky shore line, not ocean front. It is 400 ft. from the shoreline. You see the water coming down the road then you turn in my driveway. If you are young and capable you can launch a kayak or canoe from the shore. It is a downhill and a little steep but people do it everyday. Not recommended for the older crowd. If when you are on the shore and into walking the shoreline there are what they call The Ovens. Go left when you get to the shore and walk for about maybe 15 minutes and they are little caves in the ledge that goes straight up. But be careful. You need to know what the Tide is doing. Is it coming in or going out. Sleeps up to 5 Check in time is 3:30 or after and check out time is 10:00 FIRM please. No more than 4 people .

ABOUT PETS
A non refundable pet fee
$150 for up to 2 dogs, $50 for a third dog. 3 dogs maximum.. 12x30 ft deck enclosed half way up to secure small pets.
ABOUT LOCATION
Located in a nice, quiet, wooded neighborhood, but yet close to everything. 4 miles from Bar Harbor, 1 1/2 miles from Acadia National Park. The cottage is very warm and cozy. There is a 12x30 ft deck enclosed with a wire fence around it for pets and is great for star gazing in the evening and having morning coffee and breakfast or lunch in the sun. Take a stroll on the shore to look for seashells or sea glass. Watch the fishing boats go by, see the sun rise. Free transportation with Island Explorer all around the Island. There is a nice big fire pit for those of you that like to have a fire in the evening. Very relaxing.

Keywords: The cottage is in a nice wooded area. The shore is only 400 ft from the cottage and Acadia National Pk. is 1 1/2 miles to the entrance. If you like to take walks, you are in the right spot.

So Cute!
My husband and I stayed at Karen’s property with our dog. The house was so cute and cozy (the recliners are amazing). The neighborhood is quiet and you feel remote even though you’re not. It’s a little ways off from a main road and the drive to downtown Bar Harbor was super easy. Karen was great with communication and “check in” was a breeze. We would love to stay here again if we’re ever up this way.

Lovely Little Home
We really enjoyed our stay at Karen’s Cottage. The property was lovely and had one of the best stocked kitchens we’ve ever encountered in terms of kitchen tools, pots, pans, and all those things. The house was cozy but had room enough that our family of 4 felt like we had space to be alone and to hang out. The outdoor spaces were great as well!

Great location
The location was perfect. The size of the house was perfect. A couple of suggestions but by no means a criticism - an additional light outside near the two stairs down would be helpful. It was hard to see and we tripped a couple of times. Wooden tongs for the toaster. Coffee pods for the Keurig with powdered creamer would be nice since we forgot our coffee and that would have been nice the first day until we could get some. Salt and pepper. We brought lots of seasonings but the two we forgot was salt and pepper.

Perfect Rental for an adult family
The home was perfect for myself, husband and adult son. This home has a large kitchen and the most well stocked rental I have ever stayed at. The living room had plenty of comfortable furniture for all of us to relax on. Beds were comfortable and the entire rental was clean. Super close to the national park, less than 10 minutes. We had a wonderful stay and would stay here again if we travel back to Bar Harbor Maine.

Amazing sunset at Cadillac Mountain started the week! We hiked several trails and relaxed at the cottage that was super clean and well stocked with everything you need and extras. I was so happy to find the tools to crack open and eat lobster. The campfire spot was a charm! Check out the ocean that’s a short walk. Gem of a place!

Cluttered, Humid and Buggy
The listing doesn’t make it clear, but this is not a rental home, this is the host’s home which she rents part of the year. The host stays on the property in another dwelling while guests are present. The host was not friendly from the start, she expected us to adjust our schedule twice during our stay for non-necessary contractor visits. If it was just my wife and I, this would be more acceptable, but she scheduled service calls two days in a row that coincided with our 1-year old’s nap schedule. The house itself is very dated, in need of a professional cleaning and very cluttered. The house is extremely humid, there are a few small fans, but they are not enough to make the house comfortable on warmer (mid 80’s) days. The house is also very buggy, there were a lot of ants in the kitchen and beetle-type bugs all over the house. More than once we had bugs crawling on us while sitting in the house. Lastly the host has a lot of very odd rules about everything, which aren’t clearly listed anywhere, and she will bug you about them throughout your stay. Definitely the worst rental house we have had. For the money there are a ton of better options on the island.
