Super pleasant, quiet, private, comfortable, well provisioned.

We felt completely at ease and enjoyed the wildlife and ocean. In fact, we cut a trip to Bar Harbor on our last day so we could spend more time!

Perfect Maine Retreat

Couples Cove was perfect in every way. The setting was just too beautiful for words. We enjoyed wonderful sunrises, eagles soaring every day, seals, baby red fox and just Gods majestic handiwork. It was really hard for us to leave every morning b because we just wanted to stay there! . The cottage itself was just lovely… that whole wall of windows to view the cove! Wow! It had everything we needed and had very comfortable accommodations. The notebook was very helpful. Communication was great. It truly was the perfect vacation and we feel so very blessed. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home. . We have come to love lupine! The Schoodic Peninsula was our favorite part of Acadia.

Location is Everything

Absolutely beautiful setting very much enjoyed the location. Saw seals and bald eagles at the property. Only reason it’s a 4 and not a 5 is the bed needs a new mattress and the kitchen could be better equipped with things like decent knives and a garbage can with a lid.

Absolutely wonderful! So quiet and peaceful. The property and views were unbelievable…a very East Coast experience for two Southern California natives. Beautiful and comfortable cottage. Pictures were very accurate yet we were in awe every day. Would highly recommend this delightful getaway.

Beautiful views on Frenchman's Bay

This cottage in a quiet neighborhood on the bay offers beautiful views from inside with expansive windows across the front facing the bay, a screened in porch, and a patio with grill. Chairs on the waters edge on either side of the property and trees between the property lines on either side offer privacy. The property was clean, nicely maintained, with linens and dishes/pots/pans needed to cook in the well-planned kitchen with island, all facing the outside views.

Perfect Stay

This property is exactly as advertised, except they don't tell you how relaxed and renewed you will feel after a few days. From the time you arrive until you have to leave, it is where you want to be. After visiting the Acadia NP, coming home each day was a joy. Watching the sunrise from the blue chairs is the only way to start the day. The property is super clean and has all the comforts of home. Nothing is overlooked.

The house was exactly as pictured. On a quiet dead end road. Close enough to restaurants and activities but far enough to feel away from it all.

Amazing Cabin on the Bay

Immaculate, spacious, convenient, comfortable with spectacular sunrises!!! Very convenient to Bar Harbor but away from the crowds! Delicious dining options nearby. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for coffee & to prepare meals. The bed was very comfortable! We so enjoyed hiking & biking in Acadia then returning to relax by the bay!! We would most definitely stay here again!!! A beautiful cabin to relax & renew!

Another Great Stay at Couples Cove Cottage

This was our second year staying at Couples Cove Cottage and once again our stay was great! We love this cottage, the big, beautiful backyard right on the water (what a view!) and the lovely, walkable neighborhood! It's a perfect location and so peaceful. We spent a lot of time sitting in the backyard chairs just relaxing and watching the water. We saw an eagle just about every day right in the backyard! The cottage was so open, bright and clean! Susan (the Property Manager) was so helpful. We've already booked this place for next year. Thank you to Susan and the property owners for another wonderful stay!

Beautiful and quiet location

The cottage has a lovely view of water and sunrises. The living room and kitchen are open and bright. The manager was very pleasant and responsive. We loved the area! 30 minutes to acadia and schoodic pennisula which you must see!! The only issue was the bathroom is small aa is shower. Otherwise the cottage is wonderful!!!

August Getaway

This property is well worth the cost. We woke up every morning to a gorgeous view of the ocean! (Plenty of chairs to take in the bald eagle sightings with a cup of coffee too!) The bed was comfortable, and the cabin is close to Ellsworth, a cute small town. This was our 4th Maine vrbo property, and one of our favorites. You can "turn up the quiet" and will never tire of the perfect location. Highly recommend!

An absolutely beautiful property!

This property is tucked away & feels very private. The mossy property is just gorgeous and the ground is softer than carpet to walk on. It's pretty unbelievable actually. The view of the bay is so lovely and I really could've just sat outside the whole time & enjoyed the environment, if there weren't so many other wonderful things that we wanted to see while visiting Maine. I really can't imagine wanting to stay anywhere else if we come back to visit. I definitely recommend staying here if you get a chance.

Perfect Getaway

We arrived after dark so we didn't get the full impact of the property until the morning. What a great place to wake up in and have coffee down by the water relaxing in the Adirondack chairs! The home is well taken care of and, Susan, the property manager was very helpful and prompt to answer our questions. The property is beautiful and the home is comfortable and well-appointed. We enjoyed our time at Couple Cove and plan to return on our next adventure to Maine! We've already recommended you to several of our friends and relatives. Thank you to our hosts and to Susan for one of the best experiences we've had at a vacation rental. Cathi & Tim
