The cottage was beautifully and recently renovated. Extremely clean and fresh. Big windows allowing for views of the sea. Extremely and wonderfully comfortable king size bed in the master. We watched the moon rise over the water from the bed at night! AC units helpful on the hotter days. Porch was peaceful in the morning with coffee watching the boats drift by as the sun rises. Kitchen very well stocked and we cooked a few meals in. Daughters loved the upstairs rooms with great views and very cute. Loved the infinite supply of toiletries towels blankets and cleaning supplies. Nice fireplace with plenty of wood and fire starters. Firepit in the back a nice touch. Overall a really great stay.
Stunning Ocean View Property Near Acadia National Park
Our stay at this beautiful ocean view property near Acadia National Park was nothing short of spectacular. The property is perfectly situated, offering a serene and peaceful environment that made our vacation truly relaxing.
The house itself is well-maintained and tastefully decorated, with all the modern amenities one could ask for. The kitchen was fully equipped, making it easy to prepare meals, and the spacious living area was perfect for family gatherings. We particularly enjoyed the large deck where we spent morning watching the sunrise over the ocean.
The location is ideal for exploring Acadia National Park, with easy access to hiking trails, scenic drives, and the charming town of Bar Harbor. We loved being able to return to such a comfortable and inviting home after a day of adventure.
The hosts were incredibly welcoming and responsive, ensuring that we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. Their attention to detail and hospitality truly enhanced our experience.
Hard Aground was a perfect location for our group. Robin was very responsive to all communications from the start of our booking process through to the day of and after our departure. Everything we needed was provided. No one in our group of 8 adults ever said, wish we had this or that. The house was immaculate. Plenty of towels. Everyone slept comfortably. Plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen was very well appointed with everything needed to prepare meals. Large dining room table accommodated our group for meals and game playing. Enjoyed the wildlife (deer & turkeys) through the large picture window, as well as the sunrise. Close to town for restaurants and groceries. A few great, shorter hikes just down the road and easy commute into Acadia National Park. Don't hesitate to book this comfortable home.
Beautiful quiet property with a view of the ocean. Close to Acadia and Bar Harbor. It was the perfect spot for us while we explored Maine. We will definitely be back!
Hard Aground was the perfect place for our family - 3 adult kids and parents. The house had been thoughtfully renovated, and the furnishings gave it a great vacation vibe. Robin was so helpful and attentive when we had questions! For our previous 7-8 trips to Acadia, we stayed closer to Bar Harbor, so it was a fun adventure to visit another part of the island Running to (and on) the Wonderland trail was a highlight for me, as was skipping rocks at the pond near Seawall. Southwest Harbor has some nice restaurants (Rogue!!) and shops, which made is a fun place to visit on a rainy day. There are also some nice trails on that side of the island.
Loved our stay here! The kids were able to play kickball in the backyard while the adults relaxed on the back deck overlooking the water. Picture perfect!
