Summary: This was our second stay at this property, and we’re already hoping to stay again in 2025. The house gives you lots of little spaces to divide if you come with family. It has beautiful views. The property owners have supplied everything that you need, although we wished it had a full-size grill. it’s very well located. I think the biggest endorsement of a great rental is that we came a second time, it’s still fabulous, and hope to come again.

Summary: We had a wonderful family vacation! Sometimes a house is just a place to stay on a vacation, but this house truly made our vacation! The views are amazing, the side porch for outdoor dining was perfect, and the home felt so authentic and antique. We absolutely loved it! A wonderful location- near to Acadia, Bar Harbor, etc but with such a view and the harbor right there, you hardly feel you need to go anywhere. The boat house was damaged by recent storms, but I could see once that is up and going again, that that would only add to the house’s greatness. There is a second house that shares a side yard. No one was there the whole time we stayed, so we had the yard to ourselves. But I could see it wouldn’t be as private if someone else was right next door. Just an fyi to check on before booking! We are already dreaming of a return trip. It is a lovely historic home that we all fell in love with! Especially the charming upstairs bedrooms.

Summary: We stayed at Shell Heap North for Memorial day weekend (we come to Acadia every Memorial day to bike the carriage trails, hike, and kayak). This home was perfect for us in so many ways. It was exactly as described on the listing, complete with sunset views, a kitchen that was well equipped with everything we needed and more, comfortable beds, plenty of little nooks where our extended family could separate and find quiet time to read or study, the house was well supplied and clean. We felt as though the house was ready for us, and we were welcome. I had a few communications with the owner before we arrived, and she was always prompt and gracious with her replies. We absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful spot to stay a little outside of Bar Harbor (as is our preference) and we had no trouble driving 15 into town when we wanted to take advantage of what Bar Harbor offers. Thank you Virginia and family for sharing your home with us!

Summary: A great private location on the harbor away from all the commotion downtown, but an easy 15 minute drive to get there. Easy access to main attractions of the park. The boathouse was a fantastic feature on a rainy day!

Summary: Pictures do not do justice!!! The house is so incredibly charming and much bigger and beautiful than expected! We knew it would be great, but it exceeded our expectations. Has every amenity you’d ever need. We cooked most nights during our time there and there was everything we needed and more. The beds were super comfortable and house was very clean. We definitely will be back! Thank you for an amazing stay.

Summary: The location and views are fantastic! The interior of the house is truly a step back in time. My 72-year brother-in-law said it reminded him of his childhood and he loved it. If you wanted a modern, newly renovated home, you only need to go out on the porch and take in the postcard view. You can also hang out on the very private beach. We felt like this was a very Maine experience for our first visit to the picturesque state. The nearby Ascticou Inn has a great view and good food. We also loved Milk & Honey in the town of Northeast Harbor.

Summary: This house is a feast for the eyes; full of little quirks that we absolutely loved! It’s like stepping back in time, totally well appointed and impeccably clean! Beautiful location also; apart from the bustle of Bar Harbor but convenient to the carriage trails. And the view is spectacular; hope to come back next year!
