Hidden Gem
We found this hidden gem by chance when looking for a quiet oceanfront place to stay with our family and dog. Home was as advertised and we immediatwly wished we booked a third night. Clean, quiet and right at the waters edge.

Beautiful Location
We rented this beautiful home for a girls trip. The property was very clean and spacious and we loved the screened porch dining area. The kitchen was well equipped with washer/dryer looked brand new. Coffee on the deck in the morning was lovely. It's very quiet and peaceful. We would rent again if we return to Maine. Property management was quick to respond if needed. So much better than a hotel!

Lovely Home
This property is absolutely beautiful. We loved sitting on the deck. watching the birds and tide. The view from the dining room, deck and porch is picture perfect. The rooms were plenty comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. I hope to be back someday

Plenty of room for our family. Nice location on the water. Very clean. The only thing was that the water pressure was very low; owner was able to get plumber to fix it which was great. Thank you!!

Very disappointed
I really wanted to love it. The view was spectacular. The location was remote. The kitchen was well stocked. However, the house had more of a cabin feel that needed some TLC than the 5-star rating that was advertised. Far too many outlets or fixtures didn’t work. The deck was in a state of disrepair. The grass was literally waste high. The steps leading to the water were broken and dangerous. And the water flow in most faucets was so low that the women couldn’t wash hair in the shower, they had to wash hair in the utility sink as this was the only faucet with decent water flow. The grass and the water flow were the only things I expected Vacasa to address. After a whole lot of run around, the grass was finally cut on day 3 and left in piles. The water issue was never addressed. Vacasa management has ruined VRBO.

Great but...
Location, cleanliness, amenities were all a 10, but the downstairs bed was hard as a rock, and the others were so so. Comfortable beds are a must, Invest in some better bedding and this place would be a perfect 10. I would also suggest a queen sized bed for the downstairs bedroom. Otherwise we had a great vacation visiting Acadia and the surrounding area.

Beautiful house and location/terrible communication
The house and location is beautiful. Large rooms, lots of space. However, no internet, which ruined a lot as my plan was to work. Vacasa sent someone out who told us what we know that there was no internet. Said they would contact home owner, who would contact internet provider and we should have it back end of the day and they would call us. Never heard back from anyone for the rest of our trip and never got internet. Wrote many times and told they would pass our messages on to local people. NEVER heard from anyone. Luckily it wasn't a real major problem like furnace or ater.When you can't get the host to communicate or fix things it makes your trip difficult. Great choice of house if you have no issues and don't need Vacasa to help you because they won't.

This place is a home run
We could not have been happier at this house. We stayed here for 3 nights and loved it. It’s quiet, surrounded by woods and on the water. There is a house 100 yards away that you can see, other than that it’s just you and nature. We used the firepit one night and kitchen two nights. We didn’t mind the drive 45 mins into bar harbor each day. Easy and nice drive. Only thing I would change is the beds are a little hard, but that’s personal preference. Don’t be afraid to book this one!

Vacationland
This is coastal Maine at its finest with the most spectacular view. Harbor Myst is what Vacationland is all about. The homeowners made sure we were comfortable with all necessities. It's a great location, secluded from the business or Bar Harbor which is about an hour away. Great local restaurants. We found the local seafood, off the beaten path were excellent. Great place for kids. We will be coming back again!
