Mother/Son vacation
Beautiful location overlooking the bay. Sun rises were beautiful each morning with a seal visitor one day! 30-40 minutes to Bar Harbor, Acadia park-a must see and about 10 from Schoodic point (also Acadia park) and also a must see! Judy was super nice and had everything ready including fresh flowers upon our arrival!

Perfect for a family trip
House is right off the rocky beach with low tides that allow for scavenger hunts in the shallows. House is kid friendly, didn’t feel like our 6 year old would break stuff. Brought kayaks and could access the coastline. Didn’t see many other folks during our stay. Easy drive to Acadia and other fun spots. Small cottage next door would make a good larger group stay easy since the properties share the outdoor space and beach access.

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy
Terrible
The place was filthy. Smelled of mold. The floors were dirty, kitchen sink was disgusting, hazardous extension cords running across the floors, TV situated on the floor, peeling paint, broken screen door and a huge dumpster with garbage strewn about for you viewing pleasure. Contacted the owner who thinks it is a gem. Wow...

Incredible view
The view is incredible. We watched harbor seals, Eagles and loons each morning in front of the property. Bar Harbor is approximately 40 min drive and the same to the much quieter schoodic part of acadia. We had a few small issues on arrival but Judy was quick to work with us and did here best to resolve the issues. The beach is rocky as noted in the discription but full of shells and sea glass. A peaceful place to walk in the morning. If looking for a quiet place this is a good one.

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.

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.

A True Retreat
We arrived after dark at this house and were treated to a spectacular treat when we woke up as we were looking directly out at the ocean. The views here are gorgeous. We loved opening all the windows and feeling the breeze off the water and listening to all the sounds. The water is a short walk and a lot of fun to visit and search for shells and crabs. The check-in process was flawless and Judy called to check in a couple of times to make sure everything was going well. The home is equipped with everything one would need and also has a fire pit, which ended up being one of our favorite things - listening to fire crackling and waves hitting the rocks. The location is also great. It’s about 40-50 minutes away from Acadia National Park, but the drive is easy and there is so much to see and do along the way. Overall, we were extremely pleased and would highly recommend this home and Judy to anyone. The fresh flowers throughout the house were a nice bonus.

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.

This property had everything we needed. It was very Clean, and well stocked with items you would not think of (aluminum foil,etc). I would recommend this to everyone, and if we go to Maine again, we will definitely reserved this house.

Great trip
We enjoyed our stay at Judy’s place. Judy is very attentive. House is great, view is wonderful. Recommend renting/bringing kayaks as it’s a wonderful place for them. Close enough to all the real popular tourist stuff, but far enough away to be out of the hustle and bustle. Was perfect for us.

Wonderful Stay
When we arrived we were greeted by Judy , the owner. She was very pleasant & made us feel very welcomed. The is situated on Frenchman’s Bay. What a view from the living room & bedroom. The sunrise each morning was just beautiful. The house was very comfortable & had everything you needed to have an enjoyable stay. We would definitely stay here again.

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.

Our favorite place in Maine
We have tried to vacation in Maine every year for a while. After staying in beautiful Belfast several times, we decided we wanted to be closer to Acadia and Bar Harbor. My wife found this place in Hancock, and it's our very favorite. We have been here three times, and are already thinking about the fourth, in 2020! You can't beat it for comfort, views and location.

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!

Great view and quiet out of the way property.
I loved the experience We had in Maine. Beautiful house and view. The owner is very thoughtful. The only thing that would make it better it to have a king size bed in the master and they should absolutely build a deck on the second level. It would make the outside space more enjoyable. Overall a great place!

Good house, not the cleanest.
My family & I stayed at Judy’s home which is in the perfect location if you’re looking to spend time in Bar Harbor/Acadia (about 45 mins away). Judy called me upon our arrival to ensure a smooth check in. She also added fresh cut flowers throughout the house which was a nice touch! Not long after checking in, Judy texted me to confirm that there were no issues with the house - very thoughtful. You can follow a short path down from the house to the bay where you can swim. We had a pretty enjoyable stay at the house where we spent a lot of time BBQing and using the fire pit at night. During the day we were hardly at the house, so this didn’t matter too much to us but I feel that it’s important to leave in the review. There was poop in the toilet when we arrived, like someone had forgotten to flush and the toilet was not cleaned. There was also dirt/hair on the floor of each room that we swept prior to unpacking our things. We took care of these things and that was that. I do recommend this house but it could have been cleaner.

Awesome Stay!
Wow, we are so happy we found this house to stay in while visiting the Bar Harbor area. The views from the house were amazing. Pictures don’t do it justice! We saw seals each morning right outside our window. The area is very quiet and perfect for morning walks with no traffic. The drive to Bar Harbor is about 40 minutes, but I’d much rather drive a little further and stay in a quiet house than stay in the chaos of Bar Harbor. Totally recommend this property! Judy was also very easy to communicate with. This property made our Bar Harbor trip perfect!

Beautiful and relaxing!
We stayed here for 4th of July week and it was just perfect! Clean, comfortable, and with views to die for. If you can wake up early enough, don’t miss the sunrise. You can see it from the comfort of the living room or the master bedroom. Close enough to Acadia, Bar Harbor, and the Schoodic Peninsula to enjoy activities for the day but then get away from the crowds and enjoy some peace and quiet. Our 2 teens with diverse interests both had a great time. We biked, kayaked, fished, hiked, and ate some great food. Our little terrier mix enjoyed herself, too! The property owner gave us great tips for local activities and eateries and even provided us with a contact to bring fresh lobster from the boat right to our door! Such a great place to stay, would gladly go back!
