Horan getaway

Despite all the rain we had a great trip and we’re able to do everything we wanted. Loved the house and views if I had any suggestions it would be to cut the two trees right outside the porch as it obstructed the view depending on where you were sitting.

Bar Harbor Gem

Amazing property! We will be back! Perfect location… minutes from Acadia National Park and less than 10 minutes from downtown Bar Harbor. The views from the home were perfect! There are a lot of random steps, so it’s a little tough with very young kids. We had two 1-year-olds who just stared walking and we did fine (just wanted to mention). 5 stars!

Wonderful family house

Amazing view, convenient location, suitable amenities with enough space for everyone to feel private and altogether at the same time. The outdoor areas are comfortable and well maintained. Lots of areas to settle down and relax. Prompt response with any troubleshooting. The available kayaks need some repairs and the general cleaning was a little rough on the edges.

Perfect home for Acadia stay

We all loved Hulls Cove - fabulous location, the views were unbeatable, a gazebo with table and benches for game playing, access to 3 kayaks & a canoe and everyone has their own bathroom. We've rented thru VRBO many times and this was by far the most well equipped - everything you need from mix master to coffee filters. Very handy is the little grocery/bakery down the street (wonderful muffins). Highly recommend Acadia Lobster boat, bike rentals from Bar Harbor bikes (splurge on the e-bikes, hilly Acadia national park trails makes it worth it) and Thurston's Lobster Pound.

2021 Fall Colors Family Vacation

We LOVED our stay at Cove End but there were a couple of issues that I will address. 1)For the reviews that talk about the cold water....we did not have ANY issues with the cold water. We discovered you have to make sure to turn the shower lever around quite a bit; then the water is VERY hot. The downstairs bath did have lukewarm water, but it was manageable. 2) For the reviews about the traffic noise, there was traffic noise but it was really not that much of a distractor. The reason I did not rate as 5 star is as follows: 1) While the house was clean, it could use a deep clean, 2) Directions to house were a bit challenging to follow. We discovered our GPS gave us better directions, 3) there was no hairdryer (while that is not a big deal it would be nice to have one), 4) cleaning expectations are excessive and unrealistic for people with super early flights. With a 9:30 a.m hard check-out, and early morning flights, having to have the sheets, bath mats, and towels washed is excessive and unrealistic. With that said, I would like to say Cove End is VERY roomy and homey. There is plenty of seating for everyone in both the living room and the sunroom. We all had our own space and did not feel like we were under each other. The property manager, Jennifer, was extremely responsive when I contacted her. The office is AWESOME and fully stocked with two monitors, 3 docking stations (hp, dell, and one other one), a printer, and various office supplies (great perk as one of us had to work two of our vaca days!!!). The grounds around the home were wonderful....tons of outdoor space and a beautiful waterfront view. The tide is about 12ft so it is fun to see the different views from low to high tide. The house is FULLY stocked with pots/pans, all sorts of dishes as well as other hardware (extension cords, etc.). Finally, parking is EXCELLENT!!! We had private parking directly in front of the house with plenty of room to park our two vehicles. Overall, I highly recommend Cove End for your family vacation. It was a great house, but NOTE: handicap accessibility is not ideal because there are a lot of step-up and downs throughout the house (it is an older home..not a distraction for us, but others may need to know that). Would not hesitate to stay at Cove End again.

Fair Distance from Acadia Np

We were a group of friends staying at this property for a week, it’s as advertised , good location from the Acadia NP Hulls Cove entrance, and Bar Harbor, check in process was smooth, some of the appliances did not work , like the Ac in one of the bedrooms, as I read in an older review one of the bathrooms had some drainage issues in the shower, there was no hot water available in the shower the day we arrived, but the manager quickly responded and got that fixed, but since we were 7 of us we only got lukewarm water through our stay. Overall it was a decent stay, downside is that the check out time is firm.

Location, location, location!

I was traveling with my 80 years young parents and a few of my siblings and we had a blast. So convenient to Bar Harbor, and all of Acadia. Some drainage issues in a few of the showers but other than that, the house was extremely well appointed And functioned well for us. We would all return to the property.

Hulls Cove

This old Maine Cottage has abundant character...but is for the healthy and limber. We qualified and managed the steep stairs and multiple level changes in almost ever room. The location had only one draw back...the highway noise in the morning. Had the house been clean, a better rating would be warranted. We swept and dusted and were happy. None of this dampened our enthusiasm and we made the most of the charm , the fabulous view and easy location.

Family Vacation

Overall, Hulls Cove is a beautiful property and we enjoyed our stay. However, we did think that for the cost, a couple of important things should have been disclosed and a few updates made . There is a guest house on the property which is extremely close to the main house with no bushes or trees to provide privacy to either home. Also, the property sits close to Route 3, a very busy road. While the view was breathtaking, it was dampened a bit by the constant noise from the highway. A railing in the gazebo needs to be replaced and it could use a paint job. Seating abounds on the lawn, which is great, but the Adirondack chairs would have been more comfortable with cushions. A few mattresses indoors should be replaced and something seems to be going on with the windows in the sun room because many black flies would gather around them. To conclude, the house had immense character and stunning views but could use some updating and renters need to know what to expect with the adjacent property and nearby road.
