Peaceful retreat
Myself and my family stayed at this property for a week. Had a few bumps when we first got there but the property manager was absolutely amazing. Responded immediately and got everything straightened out. The property is beautiful whether you are outside or looking out from inside. Was further than I thought from Acadia but we managed. No issues with the hot water and there were 6 of us. We had fun filled days and very peaceful relaxing evenings. Wonderful rental.

Great house, great location!
This house was exactly as described in the listing. Beautiful property! We enjoyed the area and it was easy to get to the local parks and businesses. The property provided linens, towels and kitchenware. We had no problem with the water pressure during our visit. The property managers were prompt in responding to our questions. We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful quiet setting
We enjoyed our stay at the Blue Flower. The house is clean and comfortable with a beautiful view of the water. We liked the proximity to Acadia (Schoodic) which we visited on multiple occasions. The listing did not indicate which portion of Acadia was 4 miles away which was somewhat misleading. We did travel the hour it takes to visit the Bar Harbor portion of Acadia/Cadillac Mountain. While it was worth the drive it was so crowded that we decided we preferred the quieter Schoodic park. One area that could be improved upon: the garbage and recycling bins were full when we arrived.We would have brought them to the curb if we'd been made aware of pick up day but there was no Welcome/Important info note that some properties provide for guests. That was a small drawback.All in all we would recommend the Blue Flower for a relaxing vacation spot.

MDI 10K
My son and I signed up to run the YMCA MDI 10K and we were looking for a place to stay in the vicinity. Well, we totally lucked out in our choice with this property. As other reviews state it is about an hour from Bar Harbor, but ideally located for visiting Schoodic. The restaurants in nearby Winter Harbor were fantastic. The Seafood Platter at Chase’s was the best I’ve had since Capt Newicks. Some of the reviews were negative but if peace and quiet and a clean comfortable atmosphere with a priceless view make you happy then you will be in heaven here. As noted, if anyone has mobility issues, the main staircase may be a challenge, but my Aunt who is 78 and uses a cane was able to climb them easily enough. Comfortable beds and the sitting room is delightful. My wife really loved the place. Internet was exceptional, two of our family members had to work remote during our stay and had no problems. Password and name are on the Spectrum Router, not the one in the welcome email. Only confusion in the whole stay. Will visit again!

Beautiful Cottage, Awesome Location
My daughter and I stayed here for 4 nights. Overall we absolutely loved our stay here. The cottage is beautiful in a peaceful quiet area. We thought the decor was pretty. We did not have any issues with water pressure like other reviews mention but it was just the 2 of us. Amazing spot to find sea glass, it was wonderful having a backyard right on the water and the views from every room were spectacular. I gave 4 stars, I would have given 5 but we did not find it to be clean, sheets, floors, stair railings and toilets were not clean. Unfortunately we didn’t take photos of these issues so the company that manages the house couldn’t refund any cleaning fees. Lesson learned, take pictures right away if you have an issue. With late checkouts available (which we took advantage of) they might have one person rushing to clean the house in 2 hours. We had an issue where we thought the oven wasn’t working but it turned out the display light is very dim, management were very quick to help us with that and were always responsive.

We loved the Cottage. Perfect location directly on the harbor. Very clean. Comfortable beds. Plenty of room to relax and spread out in. We did, however, have issues with the horrendous water pressure, barley able to shower, shave or wash your face. Really disappointed that a house in this price range didn't provide a better experience. Other than that, we did enjoy our stay.

Beautiful setting
The setting of the property was absolutely stunning- gorgeous sunrise views. Easy access to the rocky shore to collect sea glass and shells. The interior was as expected. As mentioned in other reviews, one of the staircases is extremely steep with narrow steps, so the elderly, young children, or pets use caution. Faucet and shower water pressure and temperatures were the only issue we had- very, very light pressure and barely warm. That was disappointing, but our stay was only for two nights, so we could manage.

Beautiful location
The property and location are absolutely perfect. The site needs to be updated though. It says charcoal grills are not permitted on the property and they supply a gas grill but they actually supply a charcoal grill. They were putting in a new sub pump while we were staying there so there were tractors and dirt mounds in the yard and workers that showed up during “quiet hours” . Other than that the house is cool. They set you up with more than enough towels and toiletries. You can’t beat the view from the backyard. Seaglass hunting is great!

Unlisted construction
I have used various vrbo rentals for years. This was by far the worse! Upon arrival immediately noted construction with large machinery on property. Owners putting in a new septic system. Was not made aware of this at booking otherwise would have not rented here. Construction occurrred most days starting as early as 730. Grass at be least 10-12 inches. Not an issue normally but because of the clover 100’s of bees. No AC. Again not an issue as it’s Maine and the nights are cool. Except you need to open windows. Most screens either broken or missing. The mosquitoes and bugs in Maine are ferocious. Worst part? We called every day with no response from the owner, property managers or “Vacasa”. We finally received a call home call on day of check out to ask if we would rent our home via their management group. My expectations would be a refund but that’s if we even get a response!!

Great rustic cottage away from the hustle and bustle of Acadia/Bar Harbor
This rustic cottage is in a perfect location in a quiet, relaxing area 50 mins from Bar Harbor and MDI. The yard is a great size, backing up to the harbor with a beautiful deck for enjoying sunrise coffee or evening cocktails. We found the house very comfortable, but it may not be suitable for elderly individuals or families with toddlers due to the steep, narrow wooden stairs leading to the main bedrooms. The lay out of the property allows for spreading out but main living spaces are large enough to accommodate togetherness as well! Updated linens and bedding wouldn’t hurt but the house was well equipped with games, books, outdoor toys, and local area information. Even though it is a more out-of-the-way location there were still plenty of good dining options nearby. Communicating with the management company was SO easy via text and I was grateful for timely reminders about garbage day, check-in and check out procedures as well as checking on the cleanliness of the house and our satisfaction when we arrived. If you’re looking for a relaxing and unpretentious vacation away from the hustle and bustle, but still conveniently located nearby, this is the perfect spot.

Water front cottage off the beaten path
If you are looking to check out Acadia, but want an alternative the the busy hustle and bustle of bar harbor, this is an excellent choice! Located about an hour north of Desert Island (an easy back roads drive) this cottage is located in a “real Maine” water front community. The house is cute, the views from every room were incredible, I could have spent the entire vacation lounging on the back deck watching the birds (we even saw an eagle), the tide come in and out and smelling the ocean. While there is one neighbor pretty close, but it was still very quiet and felt private. The local town offered a few fun restaurants which included the best lobster roll and oysters on the water that we’d ever had. There is a dog friendly Sandy beach less then 5 minutes away, and it’s only a 10 minute drive to the smaller Schroodic point area of Acadia- which was much less crowded and the views were amazing! The one issue we ran into was upon arrival the house had not been cleaned since the prior guests. I get that- I know how short staffed everyone is do yo Covid. I’m guessing they were no-shows. I reached out to the property manager. They were very responsive and fixed the problem right away- so that was great!!

Great location to visit Acadia!
Loved our stay. The house was very clean and nicely appointed. Easy drive to Winter Harbor and Schoodic Penisula. Beautiful setting on the harbor where we listened to the many birds, collected lots of sea glass and watched the tide go in and out. Only caveat is that there is no privacy from the house next door which is also a rental. There was a large, loud family in the adjacent house which hampered quiet evenings and detracted from the serenity of the location overall.

Rejuvenating getaway
Fantastic property- kids swam at high tide, we all fished off the rocks, wish we had kayaks, plenty of tide pooling and sea glass collecting, reading and fun. Only improvements would be to have kitchen towels and a vacuum that works so we could vacuum as needed. Minor things overall when staying in this piece of paradise.

First time in Schoodic area
One of the most relaxing settings we've ever vacationed in, wonderful space, both inside and out, all the amenities to please teens and adults alike. Great beach for birdwatching, sea-glass finding, amazing sunrise/moonrise on the harbor. Nice walk to lighthouse; national park minutes away by car with some hiking and views for all abilities and tastes. Cute harbor towns around, antique shops and galleries with friendly, helpful folks giving food suggestions that made our week that much more pleasant and delicious. Memories were made.

This was the 2nd time our group stayed at this house. The location is perfect for families with kids who want to explore Acadia without the crowds. The house is very close to Schoodic Point with Mount Desert Island about 1 hr drive away. The kids spent hours exploring the ocean floor when the tide was out. The house is comfortable and the property manager was very responsive when we reached out with questions. Would definitely stay here again.

Quintessential Maine
This property was perfect. Pulling up and walking in was a dream. So many large windows face out towards the harbor. The kids played for hours everyday in the water and looking for crabs/sea life. It is a short drive to Bar Harbor/Acadia, but a nice getaway from the busy Bar Harbor. We went shopping one day and hiked two days in Acadia. It was so nice and quiet at the house and always a nice breeze. We went to Schoodic Point and it was beautiful! It is much less crowded than Acadias other trails and it’s a few minute drive from the house. There are a couple stores nearby (within a few minutes) for groceries, spirits etc. This was our first trip to Maine and it won’t be the last! We will definitely be back.

Girls weekend in paradise
Myself and five other women rented this house for a long weekend. We travel together frequently and have some very specific requirements. We obviously need at least two bathrooms and three bedrooms. This house was perfect. It is set on a stunning piece of waterfront property. The house accommodated is very nicely. There is plenty of space for us to eat together in the dining room or catch a movie in the living room. The only unfortunate issue is that there were only three chairs for outside. If the house accommodates up to eight, there should be that many chairs. It also would have been nice to have a patio table with seating for a group. The view is so lovely that we were outside the entire time. There were several shades/curtains that were broken and in need of replacement. The process of booking the property and instructions for check in/out were great. That were able to allow us to check in early and check out late. The property was stocked with all the things that we needed to cook meals and all the day to day necessities. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Prospect Harbor and would love to come back!
