Lookout Point is a lovely house with amazing views, beach access, and an easy drive into Bar Harbor and Acadia. We enjoyed kayaking in Hulls Cove area and the wildlife - eagles, seals and loons were highlights. The house was clean with amenities well thought out, the kitchen well equipped, communication excellent, and the rental process smooth.

1940s cottage summer home for an affluent family, cliffside. Great views and vibes! Ocean front. We watched Bar Harbors fireworks from the living room. Amazing! Master bed needs replaced, no A/C and there are plenty of bugs. Inside and out!

The house was as advertised, including the view! Glad to have the history of the house to read, as it gave a whole new perspective to the house and it's history. The layout of the house fit out needs perfectly and LOVED the location... Incredible views everywhere in a quiet and secluded area but close to everything! Just as good as the house were the Host/Owners, which is not always the case when using VRBO or other sites.SO GLAD we chose this house for our vacation. If we ever venture back to the Bar Harbor area, it will at the top of our list!
