My family (me, my husband and our young kids--10 month old and 5yr old) rented this out and were joined by friends with young kids. The house was large, plenty of space for us to spread out and have our own space. The porch was a source of endless fun for the kiddos (and peaceful place in the early morning) and so was the pool. The babies werent big pool fans because the water temp was just a bit too cold, but they did love splashing around in the jacuzzi tub.
The kitchen had everything we needed and we utilized it for most meals (not a ton of places to eat nearby and we were there in the off season). We loved grilling out and made smore s at the firepit almost every night. We appreciated the dinnerware for the younger kids, pool floats, as well as the blackout curtains in each room.
The property managers were super responsive, replying usually within an hour qnd answering all questions.
Finally, the location lives up to the name being on quietside, but its just 20-30 minutes to the bar harbor area and we found enough things to do, eat and see nearby (seal cove, echo lake, bass harbor lighthouse, quietside snacks) that it was really a perfect location. Highly recommend.
