Excellent location with gorgeous view
Nice three bedroom with incredible views from the living room and master bedroom! A beautiful 45 minute drive to Arcadia National Park. During low tide you can walk down by the water. Lots of colors on the trees and the reflection off the water was amazing. Great communication with owner! She responded quickly and it was all taken care of.

Peaceful Rest
Nice area about 8 miles from Ellsworth. The property has all of the standard amenities. Deck outside has a good size propane grill. The views all look out onto the cove. It’s about 30-40 minutes to Bar Harbor and Acadia National park out on Mount Desert Island. Southwest Harbor is another place to visit with our favorite coffee shop Milagro. Call ahead and try to get a seat at Harbor Table SW. Helen’s in Ellsworth very tasty with a selection of eats for everyone.

Charming but outdated
While our group enjoyed the 9 day trip to Maine, the rental property had several unexpected inconveniences that were masked in the outdated photos posted on the advertisement. The pros: great location with amazing views, quiet and serene street that felt safe, reasonable drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor, and the property allows multiple dogs over 25 lbs (very hard to find.) The cons are many. The furniture, towels, and rugs are in a generally shabby and uncomfortable condition and need to be updated/replaced. When we arrived the house looked generally untidy, with dust on the shelves and in the corners and human hair scattered about. There are holes in the screens that allow bugs to enter the house, and several window blinds are missing the pull strings to raise and lower them. The master bath is not connected to the master bedroom, and should be labeled as an upstairs shared bath and not master bathroom. The Jacuzzi tub is too large for the water heater, and is thus unusable. The owner also had scheduled maintenance during our stay, for which we were only given 14 hours notice. She then proceeded to stay and interrupt breakfast rather than overseeing the work being done to the property. While we enjoyed the overall experience, the accommodations were not as cozy and comfortable as we had expected them to be.

Beautiful place with plenty of room
We had a great stay at this beautiful house. Fresh flowers cut for us in every room! Loved walking the beach and kayaking in the cove. I do have a 4 year old and it wasn't the most kid friendly house. Lots of breakable objects around, no lock on the basement door, and no kid dishes. Other than that, it was a perfect place for us!

We had a lovely time at Hancock Point. Judy was very accommodating and called a few days before our arrival to check for questions and give hints and tips on the area. The house was well appointed-especially the two chairs looking out into the bay in the primary bedroom-the best reading and eagle-watching spot. We walked the beach and watched the resident nesting bald eagle pair as they flew back in forth all day and the harbor seals that came to play in the early morning. Things we did: Puffin tour, Acadia National Park-several days, thrifting/antiquing, visited Gull Rock Pottery, and Hog Bay Pottery. Places we noshed: C-Ray's, Helen's, Stewman's (after the Puffin tour), Ruth and Wimpy's, Ironbound, Side Street Cafe, and several side-of-the-road stops of which I don't remember the names. All were delicious!! We would go back tomorrow!

Beautiful house, beautiful location!
My family had a wonderful time during our stay. The house was in a great location. It was right on the water with access very close for us to walk down and drop in our kayaks. The veiw of the bay was amazing and could be seen from several large windows! The house was very inviting, especially the master bedroom! The house is along the road but it is a quiet road, everyone in the area we encountered was very friendly. It took about 45 minutes to get to Bar Harbor and 1 hour to the tails we hiked in Acadia (MDI) and about 20 minutes to get to Schoodic part of Acadia. The ride is really easy though and we knew this when we booked! There are a number of things to do locally too! Look up the Frenchman Bay Conservancy! The owner was amazing and was always available! It was great to be able to reach her when we had questions. I would definitely recommend!

Enjoyable stay
We really enjoyed our stay at Hancock Point. Cabin was spacious, clean, comfortable and had a great view. Judy was accessible and readily answered questions/concerns both before & during our stay. While it is a drive to get to Acadia, it is still easy to get to the park and also close to restaurants. We appreciated being someplace where it was peaceful and quiet. We'd definitely stay here again should we visit the area.

Beautiful place to stay
We really enjoyed our stay at the Hancock House! Can't beat the views. We enjoyed sitting outside around the fire while looking over the water. There are some tasty restaurants a short drive away. We also enjoyed the schoodic side of Acadia which was much less busy.
