Beachfront holiday rentals in Hancock County

This was such a delightful, peaceful & beautiful place to stay. Shelby was extremely responsive & helpful. I appreciated that she went the extra mile to alert me to the Aurora Borealis & encourage me to see it from the point. When the power went out b/c of a local car accident, she kept me updated with information about cause & when power was expected to return & provided flashlights & a special battery powered lightbulb to provide light. I couldn't have asked for more!

Spent 2 nights in the wagon and it was just as described and pictured. I appreciated the clean portapotty and the hand washing station. The location near the beach was peaceful and idyllic. Thank you for sharing your little slice of Vacationland, Lily!

The cabin was breathtaking, with a history painted and photographed among her walls. Perfect amount of space to accommodate a family should you have one. The morning sunrise was spiritual, and humbling. Host was incredibly friendly and accommodating for our dog. Arjuna. Will absolutely be returning. Thank you for an amazing and beautiful experience.

This cottage is lovely and huge! It has a theme of the color orange, which I happen to love. Our guests had a private area in the basement with their own bathroom. The view is great - overlooking the cove (just like the picture.) We did lots of cooking in the kitchen which was well stocked. The area was close to Acadia which was the focal point of our trip (besides the lobster.) Christy was very responsive to questions we had - and very friendly. Great place for a reunion of friends or family!

This was a beautiful home with a caretaker who was very available and kind. It was lovely to look at the outside pond. The home was pristine and comfortable. I would highly recommend it.

We loved our stay! Everything was as described and we had everything we needed in the kitchen to cook several meals. The view is absolutely beautiful from all parts of the house and we loved the outdoor amenities. Lucy was very responsive and gave us some great recommendations! Would love to come back!

This was our favorite spot we’ve been to in a long time. Beautiful property, comfortable accommodations that still feel rustic while having everything you need. Awesome spot!

So peaceful but off season. So not sure how it would be with lots of traffic and people. But the private deck and entrance was wonderful. The water view couldn’t have been more up close and personal with the beautiful harbor. The place was clean and cozy. Perfect lighting. Didn’t watch tv once. A convenient common room for extra supplies or a cup of coffee. Staff was very friendly when we were checking out. No front desk attendant and none needed. They answer messages quickly!

My husband and I, and our two pups had a fantastic time in the Carriage House for a week. Part of a breathtaking private/secret compound on the water…with the most incredible private tidal pool. The place is so authentic, which is what we love about staying in ME when we can escape. We were so blessed to find Margaret’s place last minute. Margaret’s mother, Sally, and her husband were in the main Kate’s house. So so sweet they were to us and our girls. A dog paradise. We are foodies. Plenty of good restaurants around - just a few minutes to the adorable village of Stonington. Around the corner is one of the best restaurants in the country - Aragosta. We can’t wait to return…hopefully, in the Fall. A trip we will always remember. Thank you, Margaret & Family.

This stay was absolutely beautiful!!! It looked EXACTLY like the photos, maybe even better! It’s right on the water with a gorgeous view. If you like swimming in your own front yard and sitting up in bed to stunning landscape, this is the stay for you. We spent our time relaxing in one of the most comfortable beds Ive had at any hotel/airbnb, swimming in the water right off the dock, and watching wildlife right from the porch. The area is a large property with multiple stays, and while we passed our neighbors a few times we still had tons of privacy. This would be the perfect location for large groups wanting to rent the entire property/multiple stays on the property. We will hopefully be back in the future with the whole family!

My return visit to the Boathouse was even lovelier than I hoped it would be. The location can't be matched by anything else I've seen. I enjoyed a September visit with my dog and was lucky to have pristine weather. I lived a very simple and healthy outdoors life and came home the better for it. The Boathouse is true to its description: it is simple and rustic and uncomplicated but well-equipped, and is perfect for one-and-dog, or for two people. A little coming-and-going from the neighboring houses meant that I didn't feel isolated. Margaret is truly an exceptional and friendly host who communicates promptly and clearly. I almost hesitate to share "my" Boathouse location with too many of my back-home friends because it feels so intimate and special. I already want to be back there. I offer my deep thanks to Margaret and to the place that I could - briefly - call home.

Gerald’s place is very clean, comfortable, and homey! Plenty of towels and blankets for everyone, thoughtful personal touches including having books and toys available for children, and some snacks and breakfast items for guests. He kindly allowed us to use the fire pit and even helped get the fire going. The view of the bay can’t be beat! We enjoyed being in such a private location and opening the windows for fresh air and bird sounds. If you need to work remotely or access WiFi during your stay, it is available but not high speed and there were some issues with consistent connectivity. The kitchenette is small but sufficiently appointed for simple cooking like one-pan meals. If you’re planning to mostly spend your time outside exploring Acadia, this shouldn’t be an issue for you! Gerald’s place is rural but conveniently located between the Schoodic Peninsula and the Mount Desert Island areas of Acadia, with very scenic drives to both areas. Thanks for a wonderful stay in Maine!

A wonderfully charming spot to stay while exploring Acadia national Park and the surrounding areas. Rita was a delight, with fantastic instructions on how to find the place, recommendations for current happenings around town, and she was very responsive for any and all questions I may have had. The pictures don’t do this property justice, I highly recommend!

We were looking for a place to get away, relax and enjoy nature- this was everything we needed and more. Placement of the RV was perfect, and we definitely made use of the two kayaks included to kayak on the lake. The lake was stunning and large- a great place to get a work out with those kayaks! Love seeing the bald eagle so close as well as all the fish! The grill and fire pit outside were extremely useful and we used it almost every night. She was amazing host- we booked this to celebrate our birthdays and Cindy certainly made it a special one. The gluten-free cheesecakes were an extremely considerate touch. The RV was clean and well stocked with everything you could need. They cared for the experience we had and were thoughtful- that showed in the set up as well as what they provided. The recommendation bag with places to see or eat were very useful and were appreciated. It was a ~30 min drive to Acadia and we made use of that convenience! Plan to return in the future and explore

This was the perfect getaway for my wife and I’s babymoon! So serene and close to everything we wanted. I would highly recommend staying here for any type of relaxing retreat.

100% would recommend! Comfortable, clean, gorgeous scenery, every extra someone could ask for in a cabin on a lake. Would definitely come back again!

We had a very pleasant visit! Everything was exactly as described. We loved sitting outside and watching the tide come in! We will definitely be back!

Beautiful & magical spot! Views of water were gorgeous to wake up to. Being able to walk out onto the beach was wonderful. Cabin was clean, soaring ceilings, very open and bright. Loved it!

One of the best views you could ask for, and a very comfortable cabin with everything needed to have an enjoyable time in a beautiful location.
