It was great! Loved the fire pit evenings watching the sun go down over the water! Great location! Plenty of space!! This home doesn’t work for someone who is disabled, because of all bedrooms being upstairs, and all the steps from room to room downstairs!.

We loved our stay. Puffin House is beautiful and the scenery is breathtaking. Loved sitting outdoors watching the bay. The house is very roomy and nicely decorated. We visited nearby Blue Hill for some shopping and to eat at two local restaurants. Watching the orange moon come up and "cue the coyotes!!" was quite an experience. We wished we'd had longer time to stay. Definitely check this out for your next Maine coast get away.

Puffin Rock checked all of our boxes for a fantastic 2-week family vacation with extended family and local relatives in nearby Brooklin. The kayaks and SUP’s, expansive beach access, fire pit, deck and overlook seating near the beach provided so many ways to enjoy the woods and coastline. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking in, and the house was roomy enough for everyone to feel comfortable. The proximity to Brooklin, with its nice market, a few good restaurants, a great library, the Wooden Boat School, and plenty of hiking trails just out of town meant there was something for everyone to enjoy. We look forward to another visit!!

Eight members of our family enjoyed our stay at beautiful Puffin Rock on the bay. Puffin Rock is quiet and peaceful with lots of space for us to spread out and do our own thing. The house was fine and well equipped. We rented two kayaks (not-sit-on-tops) and using these and the paddleboard took turns to explore the tiny islands and different parts of the bay. A playful seal was often behind us. Naskeag Point, the Wooden Boat School and Harriman Point are local places we especially liked. On a walk toward Naskeag Point, on the right-hand side of the road, there is a small hard-to-see entrance to several short trails through the woods. Lovely walk. At Harriman Point, we were surprised to see a porcupine and later learned there are many around Brooklin. There are many, many things to do outside of Brooklin. Some of us biked the Carriage Trail at Acadia. We went to Deer Isle and Stonington. We hiked the mossy wooded trail at Barred Island Preserve and spent some time in Northeast Harbor. On our last day, with the help of a local contact, we were able to get lobsters off the boat in Brooklin which was a fantastic ending to a wonderful week. My one suggestion is to put more information about the amenities on the website – that the coffee pot is Keurig, that there are beach towels, that there is propane gas and fire-starter. And, it would be helpful to know about the kayaks: what kind (sit on-tops only?) and how many kayaks are there.

Puffin Rock was a great place for my family & my sisters family to stay. There were nine of us who stayed there….4 adults & then our children ranging from 19 years old to 15 years old. The four full baths were a blessing & the 5 bedrooms with comfortable beds was a bonus. There was plenty of towels, wash cloths, kitchen appliances & dishes. The view was breathtaking & the peacefulness around the house was exactly what we needed. The boys thoroughly enjoyed the canoe & kayaks & the adults enjoyed sitting around the camp fire. We would also go out at night & gaze at the millions of stars in the sky. We ventured into Acadia & Bar Harbor while we were there. It took us right at an hour to reach our destinations in Acadia, but we knew that going in so we weren’t surprised by it. Acadia has the most beautiful scenery around & everyone we met was super friendly. I encourage everyone to go there… I would highly recommend this quaint place to anyone. We were not ready to leave.

My family and friends all enjoyed our stay at Puffin Rock! The house had ample space, was very clean with plenty of supplies, and the access to the water/beach was amazing! I walked the beach area all but one morning; it was so peaceful. Plenty of things were provided to occupy the kids when the weather was bad. It is a bit of a drive to Acadia, but not unbearable, and after the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor it was nice to come back to quiet. The pace of life felt so much slower in Maine, and we thoroughly enjoyed it! Would come back in a heartbeat!

My husband and I stayed with our five children ranging in ages from 17 to 5. We all had a great time. The house had everything we needed and the kids enjoyed the water toys. If we ever decide to vacation in Maine again we would love to stay here again.

The house was dirty! Not sure what the cleaning fee is used for but not to clean the house! Dog hair all over! Stale doughnut holes laying on the floor. Location was good and view was very good.

The house was adequate for our needs and sat on a beautiful coastline! Beds were somewhat comfortable and the provided necessary items were appreciated. A regular coffee pot would have been nice. I have no complaints about the property. My complaint is with the property management!! HUGE lack of communication, did not receive instructions on accessing the property timely! Called the property management number multiple times and left multiple messages with no response. Had to call VRBO and get them involved… finally received access code when we were 5 mins from the house! Very stressful situation as it was 9 pm at night and there were no hotels inside of an hour drive to stay the night. Hopefully the next family will have better service! Personally, I will look elsewhere!

The floor had not been swept. There was dirt all around the walls, hearth, and under the furniture. The house smelled like garbage and we discovered a pile of trash in the garage after a few days. The master bath had not been cleaned, floors, rug were dirty and hair had stopped up the shower drain. The bath above the garage also had hair in the drain causing it not to drain. The light in the shower is burnt out and we couldn’t find the tools to change it. The pans and range top in the kitchen have a grease buildup and we were not able to get them clean. We did clean the countertops and range but they still needed more scrubbing. We swept the floors but the living room rug is very dirty. The furniture in the hearth room seems broken down and very dirty. We are all senior adults and like things clean but didn’t expect to clean up after others on our vacation. The beds were comfortable and made but we had to hunt for towels and washcloths, they were all in one bathroom. There was no dishcloths or towels in the kitchen. The house is nice if you are just staying there and playing games, but very isolated and hard to reach. No restaurants or shopping close, so a lot of driving involved. The view and surroundings are very pretty.

Our family has a wonderful time at this home. It was extremely well equipped with kitchen supplies, things to use outdoors, and there was a lobster pot, which we were able to use and had an amazing lobster dinner! The location is perfect - private and right on the water. We were thoroughly entertained watching through our binoculars to spot the seal catching his dinner every day. The wildlife was beautiful to see - lots of birds, a bunny was seen grazing in the yard multiple times, and a doe and her two fawns passed right through the side yard! There was some trouble with the refrigerator and toaster oven, but Nichole was quick to respond and remedy the situation. We’re very much enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this place!

3 generations of our family had a great time at Puffin Rock. The setting is gorgeous and we utilized the waterfront every day. Waterfront access was great and having the kayaks, paddleboard and float was a great bonus. The house was very clean. Linens and towels were plentiful and good quality. Everything you could need was there. House is very spacious and well appointed. The seperate 2 bedrooms and bath were great for us. Enjoyed the deck, yard, firepit and beach.

Lovely house with lots of room for large families to spread out in several rooms. Bunk beds and one queen room are in separate area of the house, which is nice for teenagers or an individual family. Ample water toys. Kayaks: 1 tandem, 2 single adult, and 2 single kid. Plus 2 paddle boards and a super fun floating raft like thing that the kids loved. We spent a lot of time on the deck, which was lovely. Would definitely stay again. Thanks for sharing your home!

Great home, great view!

Great home, great view!

We loved this property. It was large and spacious for our family of 10. Lots of room to spread out. The home was fully stocked with anything we needed! We loved using the kayaks, grill, and fire pit. Contact with the property management company was excellent, though we didn't require much because we had all the info we needed in the Welcome book in the home. The property was very clean. We saw lots.of deer, rabbits, and birds right from the house. I gave the online details section 4 stars because it shows the home as 7.4 miles from Acadia National Park. It was over 1 hour drive to the park, which was fine, but before our stay, I was under the impression we would be a lot closer. Thank you for a great stay!
