I wish words could explain our experience. It was truly magical. It’s was so peaceful and tranquil. The scenery from the deck over the water was breathtaking. The house felt very loving and peaceful. My wife and 2 kids felt very secure and happy there which means everything. The host was great and you could tell that hospitality JS very important to them. We will be back, cannot wait to see the lobster boats again some day.

This cottage is so charming, clean and cozy. Very thoughtful and comfortable decor. Brand new appliances in the well equipped kitchen. Neighborhood is incredibly quiet and relaxing, and close to many great restaurants in Corea and Winter Harbor area. The views of the ocean on both sides of cottage are incredible. Owner is very fast to respond to questions. A 25 min drive to Schoodic Point or just over an hour to main part of Acadia on MDI. Gorgeous coastline and hikes all around the area. Highly recommend!!!

Such a special place

We just got back from a great family vacation at Compass Point. It was perfect for our family of 4- cozy and so thoughtfully appointed. Being on the water was incredible- my kids climbed all over the rocks and found crabs and other tide pool critters and we enjoyed wine and sunsets on the deck. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed. It's definitely on the "quiet side" so you may want to bring some provisions, but it was also nice to be away from crowds in MDI. It is a special place and we hope to return.

Magical and serene getaway

We had an awesome time at Compass Point. The owners promptly answered our questions before we arrived. The house is only a few miles from the Schoodick Peninsula and we were able to ride our bikes. We absolutely loved the location, about an hour north of Acadia. We enjoyed the oceanside firepit and the astronomy platform. We saw the Milky Way and a shooting star! The house was immaculate and had everything we needed. We would love to come back.

The PERFECT Getaway!

We found Compass Point Cottage on VRBO, and the pictures (while BEAUTIFUL) don’t compare to what you’ll see in person. The cottage is situated in your own private Maine paradise- close enough to Bar Harbor to enjoy the fun activities available, but far enough away to enjoy peace, quiet, and the raw coastal beauty Maine has to offer. We sipped our coffees on the back deck overlooking the bay each morning, and cozied up around the bonfire at night. The hosts thought of every detail possible to make your stay special and so very comfortable. A truly remarkable experience.

This was our first trip to Maine, and we were blown away by the beauty, but even more with these stunning accommodations. Everything was just as described and communication was seamless. This property is about 45 minutes from Bar Harbor, but so worth the drive. My family and I enjoyed the star gazing deck and loved the fire pit right on the water. There was a view from every window. I would definitely stay there again and I will be back.
