Gorgeous private waterfront property — scenic, quiet. Winter harbor has essentials and a few nice places to eat. Taking my morning coffee out back to watch the lobster boats check traps and seals bob around in the harbor was a treat.

A Little Piece of Heaven
This cabin on the water is a little piece of heaven. Not only are the views amazing, the home itself is warm and inviting and reminds me of an artist's loft. We hardly wanted to leave. We spent time doing puzzles, reading, exploring the rocks and the ocean outside, and relaxing. We did spend a day in Bar Harbor, which isn't too far away, which I highly recommend. The little town of Winter Harbor is cute and quiet, as well. I can't imagine that anyone would regret staying here.

Birthday Weekend
It’s a beautiful property and comfy stay. The only two issues we had was when it was too dark, the boys wanted to watch a movie, but the internet was not quite fast enough or stable enough to stream a movie for the kids. The other issue, was probably due to my incompetence, but I couldn’t get the oven to work. Probably user error. Great VRBO, beautiful experience.

Great spot on the ocean.
We enjoyed our stay and the cabin was as advertised. The kitchen stove was troublesome and difficult to light and use. The host had it repaired quickly, but it should have been or replaced before we arrived.

Waiting out Hurricane Lee
We arrived at Regina’s Cottage the night the storm started. It was spacious, clean, and well-stocked. The hosts made sure we were comfortable and safe. We lost power for a few hours, which added to the fun adventure. We got to see the property at low and high tide. We stayed in and watched football, played cards, etc. By the next morning the sun was shining and we enjoyed collecting shells before we left. It was a great location to wait out the hurricane!

Charming beachside cottage
Regina's cottage is a wonderful piece of property truly on the water. The kitchen and baths are fully stocked, and the onsite laundry makes everything very convenient. It is a rustic-ish cabin, a great experience for our city dwelling kids. Only issue we had was with the upstairs toilet, the chain kept falling off but we are handy people and are capable of such simple fixes though it needs tools for a proper fix. The cottage is clean and comfortable, a true retreat. We also really enjoyed dinners at the nearby restaurants, The Pickled Wrinkle, and Treehouse Seaside Grill. No regrets on this booking!

Peaceful location with beautiful views
The views from this property are stunning, and we saw seals in the bay. You can see a beautiful scene of the night sky on a clear night-awesome. Lots of boats to watch, and we saw a lobster fisherman checking his traps. Shower pressure was good. I did not think the bed in the master was very comfortable; we could not get the oven to work (used the toaster oven instead), and the dining table made us nervous, because its' in need of repair. The stunning views and tranquility outweigh those things. This stay created many great memories! Don't miss the 15-minute trip down to the end of the peninsula to the portion of Acadia NP - it's gorgeous! We wish we had taken the ferry ride to Bar Harbour (which is just a couple minutes away from the property), but didn't get that done - hope to next time!

Second stay, a truly lovely spot
This is our second time back to this house, we found it last summer. It’s a gorgeous, incredible spot on the water, with privacy and beautiful sunsets, and a short walk to town and to the ferry. It’s just a few minutes’ drive to Schoodic Peninsula. It was, once again, very clean when we got there. But the price had increased a lot since last year. Some improvements had been made in the house—chiefly, more comfortable furniture in the sitting area. I don’t mind that the house is dated and sometimes things break. One of our fans was dead when we arrived, and the owners sent over two new ones immediately. We appreciated that! My quibble is minor, and that is that, for this price point, I expect all windows and doors to work properly (a few say “do not open”, the screen slider needs replacing, the downstairs bedroom door doesn’t close fully). I expect a more functional stove (it’s small and well-used, doesn’t work well) and dishwashing area (small), if not a dishwasher. The downstairs bathroom is fine but it’s very dated (fluorescent mirror lighting) and the tub is slippery and there’s no non-slip mat. The spot is worth a lot, but the house needs some updating and maintenance. You can also only contact the management company via app or email, no phone number is provided. Given that internet and cell are often poor here, it would be nice to have more communication options. I would stay here again and I do recommend it if you love sunsets and walking to town.

Wonderful unique cottage
This property was so unique and exceeded our expectations. Kids loved the rocks and tide coming in splashing up. Plenty of space for all 5 of us (Me and wife, 3 kids (12,10,8). We drove to Acadia one day (about an hour), took the Puffin tour, watched movies at night with the windows open and perfect breeze, and went to several cool local spots to eat. Great experience great property!

I had been dreaming about a relaxing vacation at this lovely cabin. I fantasized about enjoying a cup of coffee while admiring the fantastic view. Unfortunately, weather events and overbooked airlines ruined my much anticipated plans. We were never able to get there. I hope to rebook this cabin in the future.

Awesome cottage on the water
This cottage is truly amazing. The location is just beautiful. I wish so badly we had better weather while we were there but we made the best of it. The cottage has everything well stocked. The kitchen is great. Loved watching the loons on the water. Hope we get to go back some day when the weather is better.

Cute Waterfront Cottage on Acadia’s Beautiful Quiet-side
Regina’s Cottage was even nicer than described. Everything needed was provided, it has quaint knotty pine and interesting art, plus the yard was just gorgeous! Our favorite things: combing the pebble beach for sea glass, shells and interesting stones, watching the tide come in/out, sailboats at the yacht club, and lobsterman checking their traps, eating blueberry pancakes and amazing lobster dinners while overlooking the beautiful bay. Conveniently located near the ferry to Bar Harbor, which in and of itself is a delightful trip well worth the cost! Winter Harbor has gorgeous scenery, interesting geological features, friendly people and an authentic atmosphere. Best decision was to pick this cottage to relax and enjoy the quiet side of Acadia NP.

Our family of five stayed in Regina‘s cottage for a wonderful weekend. My husband‘s 99-year-old aunt safely enjoyed the downstairs bedroom with full bathroom.Our teenage children slept soundly in the twin beds at the top of the steps while we gazed out at the water from the second floor bedroom. Everything was gleaming and spotless. We hope to return next year.
