Located in a quiet area overlooking the water. Just a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the beautiful state of Maine. Quaint stores and plenty of seafood. We loved the house and it's access to so many activities. I will definitely go back. Thank you Judith.

Exactly what we were looking for. It was quiet, relaxing and beautiful. We fell in love with Maine and this house was the perfect location to explore. Easy to get to Acadia National Park and plenty of fun local places to eat.

Mother/Son vacation

Beautiful location overlooking the bay. Sun rises were beautiful each morning with a seal visitor one day! 30-40 minutes to Bar Harbor, Acadia park-a must see and about 10 from Schoodic point (also Acadia park) and also a must see! Judy was super nice and had everything ready including fresh flowers upon our arrival!

Fall in Maine

Excellent stay! Cozy house in beautiful surroundings. Whole family loved having a fire pit near the water!! Host had fresh flowers in every room. This was an unexpected delight! I would happily book this house again. Our family included myself, 4 grandkids in their twenties and a two year old.

Perfect for a family trip

House is right off the rocky beach with low tides that allow for scavenger hunts in the shallows. House is kid friendly, didn’t feel like our 6 year old would break stuff. Brought kayaks and could access the coastline. Didn’t see many other folks during our stay. Easy drive to Acadia and other fun spots. Small cottage next door would make a good larger group stay easy since the properties share the outdoor space and beach access.

Excellent location with gorgeous view

Nice three bedroom with incredible views from the living room and master bedroom! A beautiful 45 minute drive to Arcadia National Park. During low tide you can walk down by the water. Lots of colors on the trees and the reflection off the water was amazing. Great communication with owner! She responded quickly and it was all taken care of.

Incredible view

The view is incredible. We watched harbor seals, Eagles and loons each morning in front of the property. Bar Harbor is approximately 40 min drive and the same to the much quieter schoodic part of acadia. We had a few small issues on arrival but Judy was quick to work with us and did here best to resolve the issues. The beach is rocky as noted in the discription but full of shells and sea glass. A peaceful place to walk in the morning. If looking for a quiet place this is a good one.

Beautiful place with plenty of room

We had a great stay at this beautiful house. Fresh flowers cut for us in every room! Loved walking the beach and kayaking in the cove. I do have a 4 year old and it wasn't the most kid friendly house. Lots of breakable objects around, no lock on the basement door, and no kid dishes. Other than that, it was a perfect place for us!

Peaceful Rest

Nice area about 8 miles from Ellsworth. The property has all of the standard amenities. Deck outside has a good size propane grill. The views all look out onto the cove. It’s about 30-40 minutes to Bar Harbor and Acadia National park out on Mount Desert Island. Southwest Harbor is another place to visit with our favorite coffee shop Milagro. Call ahead and try to get a seat at Harbor Table SW. Helen’s in Ellsworth very tasty with a selection of eats for everyone.

A True Retreat

We arrived after dark at this house and were treated to a spectacular treat when we woke up as we were looking directly out at the ocean. The views here are gorgeous. We loved opening all the windows and feeling the breeze off the water and listening to all the sounds. The water is a short walk and a lot of fun to visit and search for shells and crabs. The check-in process was flawless and Judy called to check in a couple of times to make sure everything was going well. The home is equipped with everything one would need and also has a fire pit, which ended up being one of our favorite things - listening to fire crackling and waves hitting the rocks. The location is also great. It’s about 40-50 minutes away from Acadia National Park, but the drive is easy and there is so much to see and do along the way. Overall, we were extremely pleased and would highly recommend this home and Judy to anyone. The fresh flowers throughout the house were a nice bonus.

Good house, not the cleanest.

My family & I stayed at Judy’s home which is in the perfect location if you’re looking to spend time in Bar Harbor/Acadia (about 45 mins away). Judy called me upon our arrival to ensure a smooth check in. She also added fresh cut flowers throughout the house which was a nice touch! Not long after checking in, Judy texted me to confirm that there were no issues with the house - very thoughtful. You can follow a short path down from the house to the bay where you can swim. We had a pretty enjoyable stay at the house where we spent a lot of time BBQing and using the fire pit at night. During the day we were hardly at the house, so this didn’t matter too much to us but I feel that it’s important to leave in the review. There was poop in the toilet when we arrived, like someone had forgotten to flush and the toilet was not cleaned. There was also dirt/hair on the floor of each room that we swept prior to unpacking our things. We took care of these things and that was that. I do recommend this house but it could have been cleaner.

Charming but outdated

While our group enjoyed the 9 day trip to Maine, the rental property had several unexpected inconveniences that were masked in the outdated photos posted on the advertisement. The pros: great location with amazing views, quiet and serene street that felt safe, reasonable drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor, and the property allows multiple dogs over 25 lbs (very hard to find.) The cons are many. The furniture, towels, and rugs are in a generally shabby and uncomfortable condition and need to be updated/replaced. When we arrived the house looked generally untidy, with dust on the shelves and in the corners and human hair scattered about. There are holes in the screens that allow bugs to enter the house, and several window blinds are missing the pull strings to raise and lower them. The master bath is not connected to the master bedroom, and should be labeled as an upstairs shared bath and not master bathroom. The Jacuzzi tub is too large for the water heater, and is thus unusable. The owner also had scheduled maintenance during our stay, for which we were only given 14 hours notice. She then proceeded to stay and interrupt breakfast rather than overseeing the work being done to the property. While we enjoyed the overall experience, the accommodations were not as cozy and comfortable as we had expected them to be.

Family vac for ANP

The house sat right on Frenchman’s bay. A beautiful view each day. The location was perfect for us to access both parts of ANP. Lots of great food choices in the area. We went to Tracy’s 2x.

If your looking for an inexpensive place to sleep with a great view and not concerned with a 50 minute drive to Acadia and a dirty dated house, this is the place for you. Otherwise, there was a lot not to be desired. House is nice on the outside but dated and dirty on the inside. Great potential but needs work like a new towel bar and toilet paper dispenser in the first floor bathroom and a toilet paper dispenser in the 2nd floor bathroom. Needs to be throughly cleaned and nasty towels replaced. Thankful to have a place to stay by the park when booked 3 weeks before our trip, but would not stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay at this vacation rental. The location was fantastic—peaceful, quiet, and with beautiful views and easy access to the Cove, which made for some great outdoor time. The house itself was spacious and had plenty of room for everyone to spread out comfortably.The host was very responsive and easy to contact, which we appreciated.There were a couple of drawbacks worth noting: we had some trouble with fruit flies during our stay, likely due to the season, and the living room furniture wasn’t the most comfortable. There was also a noticeable dog odor on the furniture Overall, the positives definitely outweighed the negatives, and with a few small updates, this place could be truly outstanding.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Hancock House! Can't beat the views. We enjoyed sitting outside around the fire while looking over the water. There are some tasty restaurants a short drive away. We also enjoyed the schoodic side of Acadia which was much less busy.

Enjoyable stay

We really enjoyed our stay at Hancock Point. Cabin was spacious, clean, comfortable and had a great view. Judy was accessible and readily answered questions/concerns both before & during our stay. While it is a drive to get to Acadia, it is still easy to get to the park and also close to restaurants. We appreciated being someplace where it was peaceful and quiet. We'd definitely stay here again should we visit the area.
