6/10
The property has potential but needs attention. While it accommodates family gatherings, the listing and amenities are somewhat misleading, leading to disappointment. I didn't complain during the stay, but if you're considering renting, here are key points:
Pros:
- Great location near Acadia/Bar Harbor, perfect for exploring Maine.
- Beautiful wooded setting.
- Well-equipped kitchen with appliances, dishes, pots, pans, grill, and fire pit.
- Games, TV, clean towels, and linens.
Cons:
- Limited beach access; no private beach. The path is poorly marked, leading to a rocky area, unsuitable for kids or older adults.
- Major mold in the downstairs bathroom and a significant leak through the bathroom light fixture when the upstairs shower is used. This was reported to the homeowner, but it's a safety concern.
- Unsafe step from the back door to the fire pit, not ideal for kids or elderly guests.
- Dead animals in traps near the fire pit, causing a bad smell.
- Stained, musty couches in the front room.
- The clawfoot tub upstairs is charming but impractical to use.
- Leaky faucets in the upstairs bathroom, difficult to turn off.
- No trash pickup, a smelly fridge needing cleaning, and a non-working ice maker.
- Missing basic supplies like soap, paper towels, or extra trash bags, which would have been nice to have.
- Important details are only shared after booking; these should be provided upfront to make an informed decision.
Feeling disappointed in this home!
