It was easy to get to Bar Harbor and the park as well as local grocery stores and restaurants. All around great place and vacation spot.

The location was the perfect place for any weather from sun to rain, with plenty of space indoors/outdoors/and even a screened in covered porch. We enjoyed relaxing in the comfy deck chairs to the sounds of waves lapping below and gulls calling. It was so utterly peaceful that even if you didn’t leave the house to venture into Acadia or Bar Harbor (both extremely close) you could still call it a vacation well spent! The beds were comfy, the kitchen was the best appointed kitchen I’ve had in a rental hands down, and there were games handy to play if you wanted to. The Host was super responsive and provided really well-written instructions for everything, we had no issues with anything at all! If you’re looking for a family friendly space to get the essential Maine experience with, Overlook is the spot! ##### Brendan D. Stayed 8 nights in Apr 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Johanna W.

The deck was delightful. After our mornings enjoying all the things to do in the Bar Harbor area, we would relax in the afternoons on the deck. There were five adults, two 3 year olds an a 1 year old. We felt comfortable with them on the deck and around the whole area. A special treat was seeing a Bald Eagle on the tree right by the deck. Another eagle joined it and they stayed there for twenty minutes or so. We also enjoyed watching the seals play in the water in front of us every day and watching the lobster boats check their traps. The beds are comfortable, the house has lots of windows, the kitchen is well stocked and the location is great. Peter answered our questions and was a great host. We VRBO all over the country and this was one of the best rentals. ##### Claudia G. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022
