Disappointing
There is black mold throughout the house. You can see it and smell it. The furniture is old, unmatched and uncomfortable. The staircase is narrow and steep.Beds are uncomfortable. I would not recommend this property.

Location, location…
Great location for hiking Acadia NP. Inquired if there was a fire pit, the booking agency said no, but we found out as we were leaving that there was a shared fire pit-disappointed. Stairs to bedrooms were very steep-ok for able adults, but hazardous for children and others. Enjoyed the accommodations and location.

Should not be listed until renovated.
I do not like writing this review as the property is a fun little house in a perfect location. Unfortunately, the mold/mildew in this house makes it unlivable for anyone with even the slightest sensitivity to mold. The shower has wood walls and is covered in black mold which permeates the entire first floor. We only slept in the house and could not use it for cooking, cleaning or relaxing. In my opinion this property should be removed from listing until the aforementioned mold issue if remedied permanently.

Needs a lot of work
House needs a lot of work; gas grill barely works, trash cans missing, shower door leaks, doors & windows hard to open, and the kitchen is barely stocked. Listing should mention more clearly that there is no A/C, backyard is not fenced, and the landline doesn't work (didn't need it). Liked how close house was to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Not recommended for seniors due to steepness of stairs.

Sad Property
First of all I will say the stairs are DANGEROUS!! 2 beds upstairs make it difficult to use the downstairs bathroom at night. It would be very dangerous for young children or older adults! The home was filthy and outdated. The furnishings were torn and dirty. The shower was old and the toilet was rusted and cracked. Coffee pot was disgusting. Beds were lumpy and very squeaky. Plenty of towels and the linens were clean. The property management company was wonderful to work with but the stay was awful. Also NO washer and dryer as advertised and no closets to hang clothes in the bedrooms.

Very disappointed
The beds were terrible. They are old, worn out and lumpy. The stairs going up to the bedrooms are very steep and narrow. They were hard for me to climb and my service dog could not make it up them and actually fell down the stairs. She had lay on the landing all night and not be with me. The couch is old and uncomfortable. The landlord kept putting the privacy screen on the patio up without asking so no privacy. I had a lovely view of the neighbor on the other side in his underwear every morning. The driveway is small and hard to get in and out of and the property itself was difficult to find. Kitchen is stocked with bare minimum yard sale quality dishes and utensils. Stove is very old and dirty. The house is not nearly as nice as the staged photos of it. Overall it sucked.

Close to it all
We really enjoyed our stay in Seal Harbor. The house was clean, cozi, and a great location for everything Mt. Desert Island has to offer. A return trip is in our future! Thx for the memories
