Poor maintenance and not clean
Unfortunately the waterfront location does not make up for the poorly maintained condition of the house, the inaccurate listing descriptions, and the expensive rental rate. They advertise a screened in dining porch, but it is NOT screened in, they advertise a separate deck, but it is only a narrow walkway to the entry door. Window and slider screens are in poor condition with a few holes and splining is coming apart. The slider screen door to dining porch falls off the track constantly, the main entry doesn't have a screen door on it so you can't leave it open for airflow without letting yet more bugs in. We found the kitchen smoke alarm on the counter with a dead battery, a few lightbulbs didn't work, corners had cobwebs that had been there a while, several bath towels had large brown stains, the bathroom tissue box was empty, and the fans had a lot of built up dirt on the front fan cage that could be easily wiped off. Yet we received a text from Vacasa telling us the cleaning crew finished early and we could check in an hour early. Only one living room window opens, and neither have interior window shades or exterior awnings, so the house just bakes even when the temp outside is in the 70s. We found a few dry towels folded on top of dryer, but all other towels were in cupboards, really damp to the touch as though they had been pulled out of dryer only half way through cycle. Despite the large bathroom space downstairs, they haven't provided enough hooks or towel rails to hang 6 bath towels (one per guest) to dry. The basement smells of mildew, and the bucket of DampRid in the utility room was black with mold. This is the second Vacasa managed property I've rented, and both were an experience in good eye candy for VRBO listing pictures, but poor cleaning, maintenance, and overall comfort.

Nice, but Do Take Note
This home has amazing views, and overall, we had a great time in and around Bar Harbor as this home offers a "forty minute" drive to just about anywhere we wanted to go. Yet, I think a little 'heads up' on a couple items are important here. The home has a thermostat, but it doesn't seems to be working, and the place is hot. The lower level is cooler, but quite musty (in feeling and smell) with no where really to 'hang out.' A larger bathroom is on that lower level with a nicer shower, but it is odd using it as the primary bathroom since you are going through a bedroom to get there (and then using that bathroom through a paper thin door that sticks and barely shuts . . . and if a person is in bed, that person would be staring right into that door). The alternative upstairs bathroom then offers its own challenges. The toilet is circular and tiny (with a padded seat making it smaller) and leaves you facing up against (if not hanging over) the sink. Grown men can't use this bathroom without cussing. The shower here is then half into a wall . . . with a dresser at the other end . . . also with a window looking out to the street you access the home from. Granted, not a crowed street, but worth noting. The contents of the kitchen, then, really need to be updated. The pots and pans each have something about them that makes them not quite what you need/what and/or impossible to use with loose/missing handles, etc. Then, BYOTW (tupperware). If you plan on using the kitchen to make meals and save some money, know that the home offers no temporary storage. Plan on storing all food in Ziploc baggies of various sizes and hoping for the best and/or for when you need a baggie of Mac n Cheese to go. In light of all that, I think it is priced a little high for the complete experience. I did enjoy the views, but for a vacation, I could have been more 'comfortable' than I was at that price range. Yet, if none of those details matter to you, the views were great, the drive was reasonable, and the area was peaceful.

Could be cute, but needs work
We stayed 3 nights at Lorimer Shores, a 1961 home situated on the water with great views. We enjoyed the letter from Brian about growing up in the home; it's clear he dearly loves the place. We enjoyed the living and breakfast areas and the quiet neighborhood. However, we did find the listing to be misleading in several points, and the homes "quirks" made it a rather challenging, and even somewhat dangerous stay. Least concerning, the "screened porch" is not screened. This didn't bother us as we were not there during buggy weather, but it would probably be a major issue in summer or spring months. More concerning, the stairs to the basement bedroom (which isn't the least bit tranquil, but could qualify as creepy) are super-steep, so narrow my mom's size 6.5 feet would not even fit on them, and the carpet tacks are poking through in several places. I found navigating these to be difficult and dangerous and would definitely not recommend it for older guests or children. The outdoor stairs are also broken and in need of repair. They do pose a tripping hazard if you are not aware of the damage and careful to avoid the areas that are unstable, especially descending. Additionally, the bathrooms are awful. Just awful! The upstairs bathroom, though well-cleaned, we found to be practically unusable. It had a strong cat-pee smell that we suspect is being caused by mold. The pictures and virtual tour are very deceiving as to the space in the bathroom and the setup of the shower. My mom, a very petite person, attempted to shower in this bathroom on our first morning and basically gave up as she did not have any space to move. She also said the tub was very slippery and had no grips of any kind to assist. The toilet and sink are positioned so close you could brush your teeth while seated. After the first morning, we gave up using the shower altogether and relocated to the downstairs bathroom... which is much bigger but also provides an RV-like experience shower-wise. The water pressure was excellent and the supply of hot water was more than sufficient for 2 people, but we were very happy to say goodbye to both bathrooms on check out. We also found that the A/C did not seem to work. Heating appears to work, but the home is cooled by oscillating fans and open windows (hence the fly paper in the kitchen). The door that leads from the downstairs bathroom outside to the beach does not completely close or lock. Overall, could be cute, but needs lots of work.

Beautiful location, "quirky" place, cleanliness issues
BEAUTIFUL LOCATION/gorgeous view! Per owners comment, the place is "quirky"/eclectic furnishings. 3 bedrooms/roomy enough. Upstairs bath/shower small/cramped. VERY narrow stairway to lower level. Large bathroom, but carpeted, and shower damp on floor outside. Dark stains near toilet. Not owners fault, but biggest issue was cleanliness: Kitchen/dining floors were sticky, handprints on outside glass doors, dirty "wipe" smears on refrigerator, dead bug smashed on door moulding. We called to have cleaning come back out, they never showed.

We enjoyed our stay. The cottage is small but you simply can’t beat the view of this property and location. About a 20 minute drive to Acadia National Park. We loved our time and Turnkey was awesome! The only tip would be to work on the stairs leading to the basement.

Wonderful Stay!
Our stay at this cottage was wonderful! extremely clean and comfortable. Definitely felt like home away from home. incredible views! right on the water with shared access point. we did have an issue with the WIFI not working when we got there but were able to contact the rental company and they gave us a different WIFI to connect to and all was well. we were there mostly to visit Bar Harbor and Acadia National park. it was a bit of a drive to get to either (about 30 minutes). but if you're looking for a quite place to relax, this is where it's at! would, without a doubt, book again.

Nice Place
Easy to find and beautiful view of the ocean. When we first arrived, the access code did not work. The property manager was contacted however had to go through multiple instructions along with pushing buttons then wait for awhile for someone to answer. I also was texting for assistance and hoping one of the two access would let us into the home. A new code was sent and entry was not a problem. Top floor was beautiful and clean however bathroom was very small. The bathroom mirror was not cleaned. This was easily seen in the fogged mirror after the first shower. Kitchen was well stocked. Getting down the steep stairs to the lower bedroom was quite interesting even for my 75 yo uncle. As stated before in previous reviews from 1.5 yrs ago, the lower level was very musty smelling. It was recommended that the carpets be removed and I too believe it should be done. The bedroom was very dark. Not the same in the pictures. The website needs updated photos. Recommend dry walling over the particle board to help with the odor. Not a place recommended if one has Asthma. Did not care to pay $260 for professional cleaning especially when we had to start the first laundry. Recommend having a backup of clean linen. The house was too warm during the day. We were using all the fans for the upstairs however cooled off nicely at night once the sun had set. In all, a nice place but I think we will try another home next time. Thank you

Wonderful Vacation Stay in Maine
This property is wonderful for many reasons, but two that stand out are the view and the cleanliness. We were very very pleased with both factors during our stay, and only wish we would have stayed there longer. I have already recommended this property to three friends. It's that good. I will say that the mainstory bathroom is not new, but it's very clean, and completely functional. I don't think I read the property description very well. Two bedrooms are on the main floor and one is in the basement. All that being said, this property was perfect for us. Thank you to the owner and to TurnKey Rentals.

The view says it all!
The water views from this cabin were incredible and we spent hours relaxing in front of the large windows in the sunroom/dining room. And the location was in an attractive neighborhood while being relatively close to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. The property was well equipped, especially the kitchen (no lack of dishes, utensils or cookware). Bed were comfortable, but squeaky in one of the rooms. Stairs to the lower level were a little precarious. All things considered, we would definitely come back here.

Nice house on the water
The property was clean and well maintained. The water out back was cold as expected and better to swim in during hightide because of the vegetation. The house itself was very clean and comfortable. If I had to change anything it would be to have a lock on the door on the upstairs bathroom and the replace the downstairs bathrooms rug floor with tile. It is kind of nasty to have rug in the bathroom in my opinion. Beside that, it was a great house that was a perfect distance from acadia and I would recommend it to anyone.

Lovely in Lamoine
Our family spent a lovely four days at this cottage with our three young children. The location and views make this property special. The cottage is quaint and a little rustic, but very clean and comfortable. Do note that there is no A/C, which I neglected to notice, but even in the height of summer we were comfortable with the windows open. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. My husband and I went on morning runs through the area and enjoyed seeing deer and wild turkey. We drank coffee on the patio every morning watching the sunrise and the lobster boats checking their traps. Our children explored the rocky beach and found new treasures every day. Access to town and Acadia was very convenient. We had everything we needed to prepare meals and do laundry. There was a slight hiccup when we discovered there was no hot water, but the management company was extremely responsive and had the issue addressed quickly. We can safely recommend this property and management company to other renters.
