Great House in Searsport

The house was perfect for grandparents, parents, AND kiddos. Everything is all on one level, plenty of space for everyone. The house is bright and clean, with easy walkable access to a lovely quiet beach. Jason was extremely communicative and available. Would certainly stay again!

5 star experience

This was an outstanding property. The house was clean and beautifully decorated with exceptional attention to detail. The bathrooms were modern and efficient and the beds extremely comfortable. The kitchen was superbly equipped. We enjoyed the peace and quiet walking along the private beach at the end of the garden and enjoyed visiting some of the pretty towns in the local vicinity. A terrific rental and extremely helpful hosts.

Perfect Maine Coast Getaway!

Absolutely magical stay in Searsport - couldn’t have asked for better!We just returned from an incredible four days at this beautiful Searsport property. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations.The location is absolutely perfect - just a short, easy walk to the private beach. We loved being able to stroll down to the water whenever we wanted, whether for morning walks along the shore or playing in the tide pools.The house itself is immaculate and thoughtfully appointed with everything we needed. The kitchen was fully stocked with quality cookware. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and we loved the peaceful setting - close enough to easily walk to the beach but tucked away in a quiet, relaxing spot.What really made this special was how authentically Maine it felt - we were just minutes from Searsport and Belfast charming downtown with its antique shops. Fort Knox and Bucksport were easy day trips, and we loved exploring the nearby state parks.

Perfect

This house was perfectly located, clean, and well appointed. I was so comfortable there and loved the extra blankets, coffee left for me, and the water pressure in the shower! The neighborhood was quiet and there is a short path down to the huge beautiful private beach where I watched the sunset. Loved it, will be back.

Stunning Cottage

My wife and I stayed here three nights and were blown away by the beauty and attention to details of the place. Everything was clean, comfortable, convenient, and well thought out. The host was friendly and welcoming and the check in process was very easy. The beds were comfortable—as was everything else, and the beach, which was just a short walk away, was amazing. I highly recommend this place. I told the host it was one of the nicest vacation homes we’ve ever stayed in.

Amazing vacation

Can’t say enough about our stay. The house was so modern and clean and plenty of space for my family of 4. The pics of the beach doesn’t do it justice for the real thing. Steps away and so secluded and relaxing. The location of the house was great too, so close to cute towns of Belfast and Camden. Also not far from Bar Harbor and Acadia! Perfect family vacation and we hope to come back again one day.

Excellent location for exploring mid-coast Maine

We stayed here with our three kids, ages 7 and 16. The proximity to the private beach was a huge selling point and it didn’t disappoint. At low tide there is an expansive beach that has all kinds of treasures. Bar Harbor is about an hour away and going down to Camden and other mid-coast towns was an easy drive. The house was well equipped and made for a very enjoyable and relaxing stay. Beds were comfortable and we really enjoyed cooking in the kitchen. Thank you for a great family vacation spot!

Perfect family getaway!

This house was perfect for what our family was looking for! It was a great home base with kids for our vacation as we traveled around to the different towns and places in Maine like Acadia, Bar Harbor, etc. It was clean and comfortable from the moment we got there and our 2 year old daughter found the toys and kid plates right away! This was a huge plus for us. We loved playing in the grassy backyard and the short walk to the beach was even better than we were thinking. We got some amazing family pictures and the kids loved looking for shells and rocks. Our weather was perfect and it was even better that we got to watch the trees change color by the day! The communication with the host was great and we truly enjoyed our time at the Heart Rock House!

Just book it and then read the reviews so you don't miss out!

The Heart Rock House was even better than advertised! The pictures were beautiful but the real thing will blow you away! The location was a perfect spot to launch our excursions to Belfast (really could have walked there), Camden, Rockland, and Booth Bay. It also was amazing to return to after the days travels as it was so warm and welcoming - which was appreciated on the rainy days. The walk to the beach is short and the steps with the railing to the sand made it accessible for everyone. At low tide the beach gets pretty expansive and is a great place to sip coffee and walk and pick up sea glass! The house was perfect! Coming from being a previous property owner I can appreciate the touches the owners put on this house. The kitchen was very well appointed and we made some great meals. It is so well designed and beautiful. The house itself was very comfortable to lounge and read a book or play any of the games provided. There was plenty of space for 4 adults. The beds were all very comfortable and the rooms spacious so everyone could spread out and have their own space. The house is also very accessible. My elderly mother traveled with us and walks with walking sticks or a cane all the time and there was only one step up into the house and in the master there is a step in shower. She loved that aspect. If it was not raining so much we would have for sure taken advantage of the fire pit and the supplied beach chairs!

Beautiful property - highly recommend

We really enjoyed our stay at Heart Rock House! There was more than enough room for the 4 of us, and would be great for a family. The amenities were amazing. The kitchen was fully stocked...everything we needed for cooking. The home is beautifully furnished and exquisitely decorated. Jason was a responsive host...always getting back to me promptly. A short 5 minute walk will get you down to the beach. It was November, so no swimming for me, but it would be great in the summer months! And who said the East coast doesn't have sunsets!? I saw a beautiful sunset over the ocean by simply turning to the right. It was about a 3.5 hour drive up from Boston, and only another hour up to Acadia National Park for a day trip there. Plenty of cute port towns to get some amazing lobster/seafood. I highly recommend this property if you want a nice place to stay in Maine!

Beau séjour

Nous avons passé du bon temps à Searsport. La plage privée est vraiment jolie. Merci à Jason qui est un hôte très attentif tout est bien expliqué dans cette maison très confortable et jolie. Je crois qu’avec le temps un peu plus d’intimité sur le terrain serait vraiment bien. Je conseille cette maison à proximité de parcs, Belfast, Camden.

MAINE thoughts - almost heaven!

We stayed in this house over Christmas - in addition to all the other lovely details, the Christmas decorations were beyond wonderful. We felt right at home! The house is exactly as shown on the website. The week flew by and we will be happy to come back. - The host was responsive at all times and when we had a two-day power outage due to the storm, he took care of alternatives and was also promptly there in a pinch. In addition to being close to the beautiful town of Belafast, we really enjoyed the walking distance to Moose State Park and its beautiful beach. A destination worth visiting! If you are considering this house: book it!
