Property itself was pretty nice, one bedroom however smelled terrible, to the point my wife had to sleep in the kids room. Pretty easy to get into town and see the sights. The “bad”. We received absolutely no communication from the host prior to our arrival, we reached out several times via phone and through the VRBO app and never got a response. Luckily the house was just unlocked when we got there. Once we were there the phone was ringing off the hook, after answering a couple of the calls we realized that is why the host never got back to us, the number listed online is the house phone so everyone who wants to stay there or wants information calls the house phone. The rest of the stay was pretty uneventful until we went to checkout, the email we received from VRBO said checkout was 11, however as we were packing and getting our two small children ready for the long car drive, a rather disgruntled cleaning lady asked me how much longer we were going to be and I said well checkout is 11 so maybe another 45 minutes. She then told us no checkout is 10 so we needed to get out as soon as possible. So as to not cause problems we rushed to leave. We were out at 1030, received a call from the host complaining the house wasn’t clean enough upon our departure. We attempted to explain why we didn’t clean as much as we would have but she just wanted to charge us another 50! As a member of the military and landlord i would highly recommend improving management of the property

Wonderful! Check-in was a breeze! Great location - across from the ocean with great views of the sunrise. Walking distance of 1/2 mile from Acadia visitor center and on the Island Explorer bus route. Restaurants and coffee shop very close by. Best of all, the cottage was extremely clean and had all necessary amenities including a washer and dryer. For chilly evenings there is an outdoor gas firepit with Adirondack chairs. HIGHLY recommend!

Wonderful!
Cove Cottage is a spotless and comfy place to stay while exploring all that Bar Harbor has to offer. It provided everything we needed and more for our five night stay. We loved the place!
The entrance to Arcadia is just 1/4 mi down the road and a great place to eat is right across the street.

Cute little cottage
It was our second stay at this cottage. It’s small but has all the necessary amenities. Comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, TV, WiFi, small area outside overlooking the bay with beautiful sunrises if wiling to get up by 6:00am. Very close to Hulls Cove Acadia National Park, walking distance. Couple of miles away from Bar Harbor. It was perfect for a family of 3 with a dog. Will be returning again.

Entrance to Acadia is close by. Cove Cottage offers alot and it's great to have a washer and dryer available. Another great stay.

Convienent to Bar Harbor
The cottage is quite nice and in our case perfect for just the 2 of us. We did not have pets with us this time but they are permitted at this rental.
The good - spacious, cozy house with just about all amenities you would need, while being only 10 minutes from center of Bar Harbor and a little more to Acadia.
The bad - there is now a second restaurant next door. There are 2 parking lots that face the property, and at any given time you may have cars sittings with headlights pointed on you while trying to enjoy the fire pit.
The noise from patrons of Bar Harbor Lobster Bakes can be annoying - as well as the trash or delivery trucks that were showing up between 2-4am almost daily and will wake you up.
The house is situated on the corner of 2 busy roads, so traffic can be intense, as well as confused tourists turning around in your driveway.
We also had an odd encounter with the neighbor mowing the lawn of the property while we were there - she rode past the main living room window twice, barely 3 feet from us, which we just found bizarre to do while the rental is occupied.
Overall if you want peace and quiet you will need to look on backroads or further from town - but it's tough to beat for convenience and proximity to Bar Harbor itself, especially being pet friendly.

Everything We Needed for Our Stay
Cozy cottage with a nice view and all the ameneties that we needed for the week that we stayed there. We had two dogs and the owner was very pet friendly.
The owner's sister lives next door and she is engaged in the rental process so if there are any issues (we had none) there is a level of comfort that they would be addressed promptly.
Good laundry facilities, decent TV, dishwasher, etc. There are two viable restaurants VERY close by and it's a very conveniant 2 mile drive to Bar Harbor.

Perfect cottage.
The cottage was perfect for a family of 3 plus a dog. It was half a mile from Hulls Cove entrance to Acadia Park and 4 miles from Bar Harbor. It had everything we needed: comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, fast internet ( son had to work remotely and was happy with internet speed), TV for rainy days, although we had fantastic weather and did not have to rely on all the satellite channels provided. The house was very clean which is of utmost importance and had cleaning supplies to maintain it spotless. Acadia is a magical place and now we have a perfect place to stay. We will be back.
