Pirate's Cove mini-golf down the road as well as Mainley Meats (Bar-B-Que), Udder Delights (deserts and ice cream), and the Trenton Lobster Pound and Bar Harbor Lobster Pounds (set the table, order your lobsters, go pick them up and enjoy on the deck) or eat on their picnic tables.
You can fish in the ocean without a license or get a license and fish on Hamilton Pond which is within walking distance. If you are familiar with kayaks, paddle across the cove to the MDI Biolab and float through the stone arch at high tide, or paddle further around the point and picnic in 'The Ovens' which are shallow waterside caves with pebble beaches, best at low tide.
In a boat, you can sail or motor to docks in Bar Harbor or drive (7 minutes) to town.
The Hulls Cove entrance to Acadia National Park is 2 miles away. Drive there, bike there, or take the bus (you can put your bikes on the front grill of the bus). Ranger programs, hiking on graded paths up the mountain, or biking, or walking on the carriage trails (no cars) are fun things to do. You can swim in a lake with a lifeguard or dare the 'Ledges' and enter Echo Lake by the cliff. The Oceanarium is nearby. There is a lobster hatchery there.
A local, historic church within walking distance is Eden Baptist Church but many other churches are in town.
Kebo Valley golf Club is a historic course in Bar Harbor. Lessons, pro shop are up to date. Other, local golf courses are also close by.
In Ellsworth, a seasonal locomotive takes visitors on a scenic ride in the spring, summer, and fall.
Restaurants for every taste abound from the Chart House, a seaside fish house, to Havana's, a Latin restaurant with a wine list of note, to Sweet Peas Farm Kitchen (pizza), to Nostranos, a private Italian restaurant. Most have outdoor seating.
During July and August, music abounds with the Bar Harbor Music Festival (with live opera) and the Northeast Harbor Chamber series. The repertory theater is good and the local cinema, Reel Pizza, is where the locals hang out.
I can help suggest dining and activities for you including activities for kids. I know caterers and can refer you to a variety of helpers, including additional housekeeping.
It is close to the road but quiet. You'll hear lobster boats in the morning, but the black-out shades will help you sleep late.

Summary: We had a family reunion at the house and everything was just perfect for our group of 6 adults. The house itself, its location and all the amenities... everything that we had hoped for. Communication with our host Janice was excellent. We will definitely recommend this property to our friends and other family members. Thank you for making this a great stay!

Summary: 3 couples stayed here to take in the fall colors and Acadia National Park. This is a PERFECT place for 3 couples, with the master suite on the ground floor (with awesome 3-person sauna and 1-person whirlpool tub), and 2 suites upstairs each with their own bath (can definately hold more, but it was perfect for our group). Easy 7 mile drive to downtown Bar Harbor or 4 mile drive to Acadia. House is well appointed, great kitchen and beautiful great room with awesome view. We also enjoyed our morning coffee on the screened-in porch. Janice was quick to reply to our questions. Loved our stay!

Summary: Great location for anyone looking to enjoy the beauty of Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. The sauna was amazing as was the ability to take a morning cold plunge in the cove! We loved that the house was so well-stocked with toilet paper and paper towels - a real rarity! Plenty of space for two families to be together (or stay separate, when desired). We had a wonderful time.

Summary: Children and grandchildren especially enjoyed kayaks. Beautiful location on east bay. Private serene setting.

Summary: The listing does not do the house justice! It’s a perfect home with plenty of room for our family of 8. The waterfront location was perfect and the long driveway made the home feel secluded even though it’s right off the highway. The sauna was perfect at the end of a chilly rainy down outside. Our only complaint was that there was no dustpan for sweeping and the vacuum in the closet didn’t seem to work well. Our hosts communicated with us very well prior to our trip so we had no issues whatsoever. Would highly recommend this home.
