Lovely new waterfront 3 BR, 2 bath with beach and kayaks!
Sited on the water in Hulls Cove, this brand new cottage is just a quick drive to downtown Bar Harbor and is 1/2 mile from the entrance to Acadia National Park~just off Route 3. The cottage can be rented with Covend Cottage for larger parties or separately for smaller groups. The first floor offers fully equipped kitchen, living room with large views of the water, 1/2 bath and a master suite with full bath. The living room and master offer great views! On the second floor you’ll find two bedrooms (again with water views!) and another full bath as well as a small office. Most likely you’ll spend your time on the deck~or at the beach! Kayaks and a canoe are shared with the main house. A great spot for your Acadia retreat. Friday to Friday rentals

The home is beautiful. Neat, clean and very welcoming. Our stay was delightful, a wonderful place to stay when exploring Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park.
Couldn't ask for much more. This is a clean, well-equipped property in a great location - right on a protected bay with calm waters. It's just minutes from Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. The only drawback is it's on the main highway, so there is some traffic noise.
We could not have asked for a more suitable house for our group of 3 couples. The house was very clean, comfortable with beautiful views and easy access to Acadia and Bar Harbor. I would definitely recommend!
This property was 8 mins out of downtown bar harbor so it was easy enough to go into town for food or shopping but you still get the remoteness that you are looking for. The house is spacious and was a good size for two couples and an infant.
We had a great trip to Bar Harbor and were able to find this nice house just outside of downtown. On the water with canoes and kayaks. A short walk away is the Chart House, a casual in door/outdoor seafood dining place. The food was excellent. The house we rented was just about perfect for our size group. We would rent again.
The house and beach were exactly as described. We had a great time in Maine and making this our home base for the week was a big part of our experience. It is nice to have the harbor view from each bedroom and common area. We spent every night on the deck watching the lights from the harbor and spent the mornings watching the lobster boats.
We would highly recommend this place.
The property was very nice. The location was excellent. I'll be honest the cleaning fee that is tacked on to renting the house on top of the instructions that "there can't be dishes in the dishwasher, broom swept, and very minimal laundry remaining when you leave" makes me question what does the cleaning person do. Other than that our stay was fantastic and I would recommend others to stay here as well.
This house was in a great location for everything we wanted to do, with plenty of space for everyone. Very clean and comfortable. You can't beat the view from the living room and bedrooms. Fantastic kitchen with all the amenities, plus a gas grill outside on the patio. Road noise took some getting used to, but I took that as the price to pay for being just a couple of minutes from the park. Lovely flowers in the yard and birds to watch.
Great Waterfront Location, Convenient to Acadia National Park
My family and I had a wonderful time staying at this waterfront home. It was very convenient to the Acadia National Park entrance and a short drive into the center of Bar Harbor. There are great water views from just about every room in the house, especially from the living room and deck.
We enjoyed the kayaks and walks along the shore. Breathtaking sunrises can be viewed from the deck or with a short walk down the road.
The kitchen was well equipped, including paper goods and basic extras (salt, pepper, sugar, etc.).
The home office setup with 2 monitors, keyboard, mouse and printer came in handy for some office work that came up.
For convenience we ordered take out from the Chart Room restaurant (just down the road) one night and were pleased with the food.
We did have problems working the TV setups with the cable and Roku boxes and never figured out how to watch network channels. (They need detailed step-by-step instructions since all setups are different.)
One down side is there is road noise from the busy road right outside the property, but with the windows closed, it was manageable.
We would definitely stay here again.
This place was really nice. You cannot beat the view from the deck. Property was clean and the location is great! Very close to lots of restaurants and Acadia. Neighbors are very friendly. Loved using the kayaks. My only 2 complaints are the traffic noise (house is right off a main road) and the upstairs beds are not the most comfortable (very firm mattresses).
The only thing that we found difficult were the location instructions. We spent a lot of time in the neighborhood next door. First house past Lookoyt Pond Rd would have put us right there
The Covend Guest House was a great location for our family vacation to Bar Harbor and Acadia. Direct access to the beach, a short drive to town and Acadia NP, and a very clean / well organized property with plenty of room for us throughout the week. Many thanks!
This is a new, nicely designed house in a wonderful location. We particularly loved the view of the cove from the windows and the deck. The location is very convenient for getting to both Bar Harbor and Acadia, by car, bus or bicycle. Kayaking in the cove made it really special! The only negative is that the front of the house is right on a relatively busy road, so there's quite a bit of traffic noise.
Newer cottage on Hulls Cove with air conditioning provided a perfect location and size for our family of six. The home is in close proximity to the entrance of Acadia, Trenton, and Bar Habor, but provided an opportunity to step away from the summer crowds to enjoy a peaceful afternoon of skipping stones on your own private beach.
I couldn’t believe we were able to find a rental with such a wonderful view so close to town. The VRBO was perfect for us and our friends with great access to explore the beach below. We loved sitting in the living room or out on the porch in the morning. We even saw a deer come across in front of our rental one morning. You are only a 3 minute drive from town and about a 10 minute drive from Acadia. We fell in love with Mount Desert island and highly recommend staying here if you visit.
The house was set up beautifully. The common living area was perfect for our combination of family and friends. With three bedrooms and bathrooms there's lots of space for privacy as needed. The kitchen has everything we needed. The best feature is the deck and living room windows directly overlooking the cove. It's a perfect place to catch the sunrise. We surely would have utilized the kayaks as well but it's a bit too late in the season for us.
The proximity to town and to Acadia is great - just a couple of miles away.
The only downside is the noise from the road, but that didn't cause us much of an issue.
We'll surely be coming back here again!
Thanks for sharing your awesome house with us :-)
