This property was not what we had expected based on the VRBO listing. The owners said that VRBO had changed the description and info without their knowledge, so I thought I'd leave a detailed comment so future renters know what exactly is included.
The property is two homes with 5 bedrooms total. The listing when we rented said 6 bedrooms in two homes, plus a bunkhouse. There are three bedrooms in the main house (Briar Rose) and two in the guest house (Ariel's Grotto). There is a tool shed in the backyard (Bunkhouse) that has two futons.
Briar Rose has two full bathrooms upstairs with showers. The downstairs bathroom has a shower that I think is wheelchair accessible, meaning it had no shower curtain and was open to the rest of the bathroom. The main house first floor has a kitchen, dining room and two living rooms with couches. The guest house had a full bathroom upstairs as well as a kitchen and living room area with three futons. The lower level has several sofabed couches.
Pros:
The view is amazing. It is a 5 star view
Huge backyard with playset and lots of picnic tables and nice outdoor grills
Proximity to Bar Harbor and Acadia was very nice
Accommodates a large group
Has two houses for privacy if wanted
Well stocked with pots and pans - even a crockpot is provided
Includes toaster, coffee pot and blender
Plenty of nice bath towels, washcloths and hand towels are provided
Both houses have views and nice decks
Cons:
No sheets provided for any of the futons or sofa beds (just blankets and sleeping bags)
Some dirty pans and a broken glass were found in the cupboard
One of the back sliding doors did not lock
Briar Rose has one dining table with 6 chairs - one was broken
The bunkhouse is a tool shed with plywood floor, two futons and a fan. There is electric and two little windows, but it was not what I would consider a true bedroom.
Things to note:
Contract requires you to remove all paper and food products at the end of your stay. In other rentals, we've been able to leave and use items from previous renters. So prepare to bring napkins, extra toilet paper, and any salt/pepper, spice, oil, etc. that you may want.
If you have a paddle board or kayak, you would love this property as it has a great beach for those activities.
