Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Gouldsboro

This was our second time staying with Jennifer. Loved the house, it was perfect for our needs. Jennifer gives great info regarding directions to the house, recommendations for eating and things to do, and is very proactive with communication. Winter Harbor is a great place to stay, very chill little town if you want a peaceful relaxing stay and a great base if you want to head out for adventure. Would definitely stay again.

Mandy was friendly and responsive from the time I expressed interest in the property through checkout. The house and property are spacious and the views of the water are spectacular. The kitchen is well appointed, plenty of room for our family if 5 to spread out, and steam shower was a true bonus upgrade.

What a beautiful stay. It was my first time in the area and at Acadia NP and I’m so happy I chose Jackie’s place in Winter Harbor rather than the busy Bar Harbor side. It was so peaceful and quiet in the evenings. There were also walking distance hikes in Acadia NP. There is a ferry on the Winter Harbor side to take into Bar Harbor which was a lovely scenic trip and incredibly convenient. There is a delicious seafood restaurant right down the street that was walking distance from the house as well. Jackie was so responsive and a great host. I would 10/10 book again.

Beautiful place with everything you need for a low key getaway. Not a bad drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia but with better peace and quiet in the mornings and evenings! Definitely would recommend

John's place is absolutely beautiful and homey! The house has been totally renovated in the winter of 2025 and is very lovely, classy, on-trend in ways that make this seaside cottage feel so refreshed, current and relatable. And that's just the INSIDES! The deck overhanging the rocks to the shore is THE perfect place to hang out: start your day here with a mug of hot coffee. Have lunch and cocktails in the afternoon/evening while viewing the unspoiled, gorgeous bay. Nature and serenity are what this place is ALL about! Enjoy the total peace, privacy and happiness this home provides. It's a true gem!

Gorgeous ocean views right on the water! Every room has gorgeous photography on the walls, the house was extremely clean, everything clearly laid out in the house manual. Sunrises and moonrises over the ocean were stunning and unbelievable. Amazing location, super close to Tidal Falls. Drive to Acadia was easy and it is a great spot in between the Schoodic peninsula part of Acadia and the Bar Harbor part.

We stayed at this genuine downeast Maine cottage for three nights! This was the perfect place to enjoy Schoodic Peninsula and points further north. We enjoyed being away from the crowds and found much beauty in the surrounding area. The house is full of character & charm. Bill & his family were very welcoming & kind, and we loved eating at their ice cream shop next door every day! We traveled with two young kids who both loved this house & the experience that came with it.

The mid-century modern home was beautiful. The curtains in the bedrooms kept the early morning sunlight at bay. The location was private. We could walk to Lamoine Beach. We visited as two adults and two kids; we all felt at home. This was by far the kid's favorite place to stay on our vacation in Maine. If you forgot your sunscreen or bug spray (both a must), the house was stocked up. The separate cottage is on the same property, and it was occupied. The visitors there were quiet and respectful, we hardly knew they where there.

We had a great stay! The unit was very clean and well-stocked. The location is quiet and peaceful, and it's a very short drive to both Bar Harbor and Acadia State Park. Allison is a very responsive communicator and she was very helpful with local tips. We plan to return in the future!

Pam's place was wonderful spot for our trips back and forth to Acadia. Away from the crowds of Bar Harbor and only a short drive. The place is cute, quaint and well stocked. Very pleasant stay!

Terrific space and what a beautiful setting. A destination stay for sure!

We had a wonderful stay at Ruddy's place. Ruddy and the caretaker were both very responsive and helpful. The home was comfortable, neighborhood quiet, and the location was perfect. Many restaurants, some shopping, and parks were a short walk away. Bar Harbor is absolutely beautiful, and we had a wonderful week there hiking, exploring, and enjoying the gorgeous views.

Incredible, we really enjoyed staying at the sunrise deck, so incredibly home feeling and sweet for me and my wife’s honeymoon. We loved the extra care Lise took to bring gluten free snacks for my wife it was so sweet and thoughtful. We strongly recommend coming to stay here for Acadia or even the surrounding towns as well! Thank you Lise!

This is a great find! Very good value for Bar Harbor and super close to Acadia Park entrance and town of Bar Harbor. Plenty of room for us with all amenities you would need. Very, very clean and private. Friendly hosts and a really nice environment around the house with trees, flowers, and birds as well as the chickens and ducks which are fun to watch. Can't recommend this enough. We hope to be back.

We enjoyed Eric's condo. Recent construction, super clean, responsive host. Great quiet location a slightly away from the busy heart of town, yet a short walk to everything. Appreciated that they don't give you a giant list of checkout instructions to complete. We would stay there again.

Beautiful spot and view from the hot tub and dock. Cute little living space and we loved the welcome/ informational guide provided as well as the home made cookies ready for us on arrival. Would stay again!

Love this Condo. Superb location in Blue Hill Village, easily walkable to everything downtown. Modern and updated making it very comfortable. Well equipped with cleaning/cooking supplies so you can "live normally". The hosts are super responsive and helpful as well. Highly recommended.

We were very happy start to finish. The location was just so unique and incredible. Right on a working marina, but very quiet. Plenty to see and do nearby. Walk across the pier and buy live lobsters. Christie was extremely helpful and quick to respond when asked. Condo was very well done with plenty of touches to make it homey. A good value! If we come back to Maine, we’ll call her first.

The place in Brooklin was delightful. We arrived at the edge of the season so got to enjoy the surrounding area mostly to ourselves. Our hosts were kind and welcoming and not overly attentive. They got a kayak out of storage and took it to the dock for me which gave me a lovely morning on the nearby cove. They also gave us a later checkout which was really helpful to not have to jump up and get things cleaned and packed. My mom and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Pretty solid place, was on a discount but was clean, relatively near acadia, but only qualm was that it was a little hard to find. Not reallly host’s fault, we got confused. Overall solid place

We truly enjoyed our stay at Brian’s place. The location is unbeatable: 10 minutes to drive to Acadia, and 10 minutes to walk to the waterfront in downtown Bar Harbor. We traveled with our two children, ages 3 and 1.5, and had plenty of room. We did our best to keep quiet for our downstairs neighbors, but just know that sound does carry a bit, even from the downstairs unit. Having a full kitchen and washer and dryer was a huge plus! Cannot say enough good things about Brian’s place, and hope to be back.

We rented both the Toddy House and Rocky House for a week for our family of 12. The houses were as described and in pristine condition. We loved the fact that they were close together, so the late night group could stay up socializing, while the children could be put to bed without distraction. The Toddy House had a pool table which provided lots of late night entertainment. It also had a large open common area to accommodate our group, and we spent a lot of time on the screened porches. We really liked the access to the water with the dock, the canoes and kayaks, and the super cool fire ring. We are the type of family that asks a lot of questions, and Mark was quick to answer and take care of any questions or issues we had. We spent a great deal of time at Acadia, and while the drive was about 45 minutes to get there, it was not a problem at all. We would definitely return to 3Havens if we decided to take another vacation in this area. Mark and Laurie were excellent hosts.

What a beautiful location and house. There’s nothing better than sitting in the living room or front porch and being able to see the Belfast Bay. The house is very clean and neat. Beds are comfortable, shower is very hot. Don’t miss the sunrise in the mornings. Overall this is one of our favorite places we have stayed in Belfast.

Derek is a very reasonable person. He accommodated us on a late night notice. The access to the building was very easy, and the place was clean just like shown on the picture.
