The house we rented was delightful, it could have done with an extra arm chair in the living room. A pull out sofa and one arm chair was not sufficient for four adults to be comfortable. There were no supplies at all other than dish soap, a litt clothes detergent and hand soap. The reason for the low rating is the 30 days to return the security deposit. We paid what was asked , when asked by wire transfer and we were disappointed with the very slow return of our money. Mt Desert Island is Lovely and worth the visit but, make sure you rent through someone who returns money faster!!
Nick at Knowles Realty was a delight to work with. We were first time home buyers and had little background knowledge on the process. He always took the time to slow things down and explain things thoroughly so that we could make educated decisions each step of the way. He was realistic with the pros and cons of each property and each negotiation. He was patient with us as we made big decisions and asked fundamental questions, always responding to our emails and phone calls immediately and in depth. We couldn’t recommend him enough.
We stayed at their Southwest Harbor Port location for a week and have nothing but good things to say. The rental is separated with one unit on the bottom and one on top, both with great working harbor views and access to gardens and water. Both units were spacious and comfortable and the property is within a quick walking distance to downtown Southwest Harbor, and about a 15 minute to Bar Harbor and Acadia. It is a quiet location, great for relaxing but still close enough to do things. Down the street (near the end towards the coast guard) is a fantastic lobster pound with the best prices and food. So lobster + harbor view + great price on rental and space = one awesome trip. I would highly recommend this place for people who want some breathing room from the heavy tourist areas but still want to be able to get to everything. The hosts at the location were very nice and answered all of our silly questions about where to eat and what to see there. We will definitely be returning customers!
We completely enjoyed our stay at Cove Point Cottage. The outdoor porch overlooking the sound was the highlight of our stay. We also enjoyed playing pool and ping pong downstairs. The house was filled with natural light and very spacious---for a family of 4 who live in the city with a small dog, closet space and 3 bathrooms was a real plus. We were within a short car ride to all the attractions in Acadia Natl Park and yet not bothered by the hustle and bustle of tons of tourists that visit the area. A true gem!
Trying to buy a house is never easy, but it’s especially more difficult when you’re 3,000 miles away. Thankfully we had the team of Mia Thompson and Lili Pew of The Knowles Company to help us with the task. From coordinating inspections to our final video walk through, Mia and Lili were our eyes and ears on the ground throughout the home buying process. They were prompt to respond to our questions and thoroughly explained issues to help alleviate any concerns we had. We are very pleased with the outcome as we love our new home and would highly recommend their services.
