Holiday rentals with beach access in Hancock County

The Nest was beautiful, well appointed, and the attention to design details went above and beyond. Pam has such talent in creating exquisite, comfortable and elegant spaces. Everything was perfect. Her muffins and peanut butter cookies are the best!

I enjoyed a recent 2 night stay at Naomi’s place, and there was much to love about it! While it was definitely a hike to and from Bar Harbor, returning back to the privacy & peacefulness of this property in the evening made it absolutely worth while. Above all we greatly appreciated how clean the unit was upon arrival. The beautiful sunset views and access to kayaks to enjoy the pond were a major plus. The accommodations were exactly what we were looking for, and we’d definitely stay with Naomi again next time we visit the area!

Jennifer was a fantastic host. My family and I truly enjoyed our stay at her air bnb. close to the most pristine parts of the area. the apartment was very well set up and felt very cozy and at home. would definitely recommend.

Kermit and Darlene. thank you THANK YOU for allowing me to be a guest in the Jane's retreat cottage! private, quiet and absolutely what I needed to enjoy my work trip in a peaceful place like Brooklin , ME. If I ever came back, id hope to stay again there, as being there was a real treat and privilege. thank y'all so much again! Jaren Herbert Dallas, TX

Julie is a wonderful host, extremely helpful and catered to all our needs. The place itself is very cozy, modern and very clean! I would highly recommend this place to guests looking to stay in Maine!

Awesome stay. Stephen was extremely helpful. We had some issues with electricity at night and he drove down to get us sorted out! The place is very serene with a harbour view at the back of the house. Place is clean and comfortable to stay in with good heating during cold nights.

Great stay! Clean comfortable studio set up perfect for extended stay! Really enjoyed the time. Had everything. Right next to snowmobile trails and the lake! Can’t ask for much more.

I can’t say enough good things about this place! The location was amazing. Right off Main Street and totally walkable to anything in bar harbor with a parking space! It was on the right side of bar harbor to get to Acadia within 5 minutes. We loved all of the restaurants close by and the access to the park. The place was so comfortable and cozy! Beautifully decorated and warm after cold hikes in the park. We did not hear any noise at all from the hospital which is tiny compared to the hospitals in Virginia. I didn’t even notice it was there. Brianne was so kind and responsive and recommended lots of good hiking and dining options. I can’t wait to come back here again! If I could give this home 6 stars I would and I am usually a picky reviewer! We will definitely be back to the same house if we come back to Bar Harbor, which I hope we do! It’s a great base for exploring Acadia! The kitchen was well stocked and the bedroom was very comfortable. Thanks so much for sharing with us!

We enjoyed our stay at Ashleys's home. It is a beautiful, peaceful and lovely location, with great proximity to Acadia National Park, Winter Harbor and the Schoodic Institute. Our family enjoyed watching the lobster boats in the morning and noodling around the peninsula. It was a very comfortable space, with a well stocked kitchen and dining area.

I brought my partner to Maine because we hadn't been there. The plan was to propose when the stars were out, and this place was THE PLACE to do it. It was cloudy, so I was going to do it at Cadillac Mountain, but Susan's place was so perfect I did it there instead. Felt like how AirBNB used to be. LIke someone's actual place. Great books, great kitchen etc.

This was a gorgeous stay with a great location for going to Acadia/Bar Harbor, while still maintaining privacy. I spent several hours during my one night stay admiring the design of the home (interior and architectural). I spent the night on the living room couch with a solid view of the bottom floor and with several large windows facing me, yet I still felt completely comfortable and that I wouldn't be disturbed or intruded upon. I was plenty warm the entire stay with the gas heater barely on. While there are some small details of the home that could use some touching up, *none of it* was a problem and still left plenty to love. I enjoyed sitting on the cut logs outside and listening to the crows and loons in the early morning (~6am). Everything felt as though it was placed with great intent and consideration, but still welcoming enough to get comfortable without worrying about ruining or disrupting it all. I would love to stay here again and highly recommend it to others!

We just completed our second summer and are still in awe of everything this property has to offer. From the amenities inside to water accessibility, access to many fabulous restaurants, and complete silence from every corner of the property, this house on this island gives you everything you could ever hope for in a summer retreat. George is a fantastic host, extremely responsive, and always willing to help. The property is well-kept, and the house is clean and full of additional supplies. You can't look for much more than what this property offers.

Truly a spotless & comfortable "Home Away from Home" in a serene setting. The listing didn't do this charming home justice. Very comfortable beds, great shower, and picture perfect Mainesetting. Perfect escape from beautiful but busy Bar Harbor. Host was very responsive and the home is well equipped. Recommend J.M. Gerrish in nearby Winter Harbor for breakfast. Would stay again!

This is a beautiful home located in the woods on a bay! If you don't mind being away from towns and crowds, this is the place. The location was relaxing and the views are spectacular. The kitchen is well appointed for cooking. We packed picnic lunches and took off each day to explore Acadia National Park. We came home each night and cooked dinners. The grill was clean and ready to use. We were very impressed with the cleanliness of the house. We would definitely love to come back in the future.

This was our first time in Acadia and it couldn’t have been better! This location is ideal, beautiful and peaceful right on the ocean. Elizabeth was fantastic and very quick to respond. Highly highly recommended!!!!!!!

The house and views are excellent, you can sit on the back deck or outside area and just gaze out at the view, see Bald Eagles fly over every day, even saw one grab a fish from the water. Very clean and well appointed with the essentials like detergents for laundry and dishwasher, garbage bags, slat, pepper and other cooking basics, foil and cling wrap, beach chairs. Overall I can say it is a very nice house, very clean. The location is 20 - 25 minutes from Bar Harbor and maybe 20 min to Acadia. We didn't mind this at all. We ate lobster at 5 different places, if you want the absolute best Lobster rolls go to the Travilin Lobster, there is one in Trenton and one in Bar Harbor, by far the best lobster roll. Oh, and probably as important as the house being very clean, the beds were very comfortable.
