Wow! What a view! We really enjoyed our stay at Josh and Megan’s cute home.We didn’t mind driving an hour to the main Acadia entrance and Bar Harbor since Corea is close to the Schoodic entrance of Acadia.This is our third stay near Acadia NP and second stay in Corea. For us, this quiet fishing town feels like the real Maine. There are many wonderful restaurants nearby and the Corea Co-op makes getting fresh lobster for dinner very easy.As for the house, it was very warm thanks to mini splits and it was evident that changes have been made to make this home comfortable. It was very clean.The home was very well stocked. Its decorations are very much thrifted and eclectic.Our kids loved searching for shells on the beach and walking down the road to continue our search for treasure on the wide and sandy Newman Beach during low tide.The adults really enjoyed waking early to watch the sunrise and lobster boats.10/10 would recommend this home!

This is a beautiful home and property in a gorgeous part of Maine. The house is comfortable and well-equipped with plenty of space for a family. The view every morning is outstanding, and so nice to watch the moon rise from the firepit. My kids had fun exploring the tide pools. The location is remote, but it's easy to get to area attractions, especially Acadia (and the Schoodic side of Acadia is much less busy and therefore very peaceful). The owner is very responsive and helpful. Good restaurants and ice cream in the area. All in all, this is an excellent property and a great value!

Family Acadia Trip

This house was the perfect spot for my family of seven to vacation to Maine and visit Acadia National Park. I did not want to be right in the middle of the busyness of the park traffic, and this was far enough away but not too far (only 30 minutes to Schoodic Point). The property was clean and spacious and the yard was amazing for the kids to play outside, check out the tide pools, etc. Very highly recommend!!

Fantastic property on the Schoodic Peninsula

Just a fantastic location, beautiful views of the bay, super quiet and peaceful. My 18 year old sons loved it there. The house is cute and well-cared for. The beds are quite firm, so if you prefer soft beds, you might want to bring some foam pads. The kitchen is basic but functional. Josh was easy to communicate with. I would definitely stay here again.

This is a phenomenal place

The perfect house, grounds, and view. The house is compact but even so the 5 of us had 4 places to sit and talk inside, plus on the deck, plus at the fire pit, and we never felt crowded. The owner is responsive and helpful. Everything you need for cooking, entertainment, and comfort is here. It's homey and comfortable, not fancy, which is so good. Neighbors are not too close. The view over the water is gorgeous. On clear nights, turn off the house lights and see a zillion stars. And enjoy the silence. Very highest recommendation.

Quiet and amazing views .

Enjoyed being on the Schoodick peninsula in a quieter area than Bar Harbor . An easy hour drive to Acadia which was beautiful. Took the ferry from Winter Harbor to Bar Harbor which was fun . Lobsters fresh from the boat in Corea and oysters just down the street . The view from the property was amazing.

Beautiful sunrise and moonrise over the water

My family of six adults enjoyed this property. Very spacious. Well stocked. Fantastic waterside location for beautiful sunrises. We enjoyed the fire pit by moonlight too. Lots of brochures, maps, history. The washer and dryer are a real saver. Smaller suitcases! There is an hour ride to spend a day at Acadia NP, but we prefer nearby Schoodic for the smaller crowds. Plenty to do. And the Schoodic point has plenty of room for wave watching. Thank you Josh and Megan. I recommend it.

Better than expected

This house was perfect for us (3 adults + 3 kids). The lawn was lovely and looking out into the bay was magical when the sun was down and the bay was reflecting the pink sky. Lots of good stuff to do around Gouldsboro including Bunker’s Wharf restaurant. Lots of cool hiking around the Schoodic part of Acadia here. The house was amazing with great views of the bay even when the weather was a bit inclement. Rooms were great, but heads up all the beds are a bit firm. I like it that way, but just be aware. Overall, I'd totally book this place again. Thanks!
