Great location for park and town!

For our first visit to Mount Desert Island we were a bit confused about where to stay. We are so glad we chose Hulls Cove and the Great Haven Town Homes. Hulls Cove is in the perfect location of going into Acadia to hike and for visiting Bar Harbor to shop, eat and sightsee.
We have 5 children (ages 15-5) and the seven of us were very comfortable in Great Haven. The pool is a big plus (our weather didn't agree but we did swim once!). The place was clean and well stocked for our stay. There is a pizza shop just across the parking lot for an inexpensive dinner "at home" without cooking.
The rental process was a breeze and the customer service deserves more than the 5 stars. Information was delivered to us to help us plan our trip. The owners even quickly returned a few items that I left in one of the drawers!
I'd stay in Great Haven again in a heartbeat!

Owner's Response: I've said it before and I'll say it again: Great Haven attracts the nicest guests in the world! We know what it's like to plan a vacation in "uncharted waters", so we go the extra to make you feel confident and comfortable with your choice. In the end, the one thing our guests always tell us is that Great Haven totally exceeded their expectations. And you can't ask for better than that, can you?

We traveled to the Bar Harbor area with our kids, 11 and 13, and grandparents. Having the space to spread out, eat breakfasts and an occasional meal in made the entire trip carefree and relaxing. The free bus also let everyone "do their own thing." Whale watching, hiking, Ranger Programs, the pool, wonderful restaurants, L.L. Bean, the Loop Road, the Lumberjack Show, the Oceanarium and Lobster Hatchery, lots of lobster...We'll be back!
Owner's Response: As our MI family says, there's so much to do in our area in addition to Acadia National Park that it's wise to choose a "home base" that is both centrally located and easily accessable to transportation options. Great Haven has a stop for the Island Explorer free shuttle service right out front---how easy is that? You'll really appreciate the neighborhood, too, with a pizza shop, waterfront restaurant, small general store with gas, and post office all within a two minute walk from your spacious townhome.

My family of six plus a one and half year old grandson had a great time staying at this property. It was clean, comfortable, every modern amenities, and all the things you'll ever need on a vacation home. It was a home away from home, but much better because it is right next door to the beautiful Acadia National Park. I would stay all summer here if I could.
Owner's Response: As our guests from Troy point out, Great Haven is very comfortable for multi-generational familes. Pebble beach (kids), heated pool (parents), room to spread out without crowding each other (grands)...or mix and match!
And there is definitely something to be said for a place with new appliances that you know how to operate from the start, a full laundry near the bedrooms so no lugging baskets up and down stairs, and that extra half bathroom by the kitchen where you can easily clean up little sandy feet when you get home from a happy/busy day at Acadia National Park. All this and Grampa still can find a comfy chair with his name on it. That's Great Haven!

Recently, my friends anb I just returned from a vacation in Bar Harbor. We all enjoy riding bicycles and were anxious to ride the Carriage Trails in the Acadia Park. Our selection of Great Haven as a rental was a wonderful choice. Not only was the location to the Park very convenient, but also the Bonds were fabulous to work with. The Bonds provided loads of information about surrounding attractions and website links of interest and were always gracious when replying to our inquiries.
The rental house met all of our needs from DVD's to laundry with a lobster dinner delivered to our "home"!
I highly recommend them and hope to return to Bar Harbor and Great Haven again someday in the future.

Long Pond looked great from the photos, but we were pleasantly surprised that those photos didn't do the house justice. It was as if we had a home, not just a rental, while we were up in Bar Harbor. The amount of space we had for the price was amazing. It couldn't have been any closer to Acadia and gettting into town was a piece of cake. Of course our kids thought it was the coolest thing to watch the changing of the tide just across the street. I highly recommend Long Pond if you are looking for a nice home to stay in while in Bar Harbor.
Owner's Response: I took all the photo's of Great Haven that you see here and believe me, it was a struggle to try and make things fit into the frame! (Gotta put a wide angle lense on my letter to Santa next year...) With 1800 square feet and a casual living style open floor plan, you're pretty much guaranteed not to be tripping over each other. That could be a vacation all in itself!

Our stay at Great Haven was truely great! From the start of booking our stay the owner was very kind and gave us all the information we needed to start planning our trip to Acadia National Park. When we arrived at Great Haven the townhouse was extremely clean and well cared for. The townhouse is very spacious and allowed my big family to feel as though we were not on top of each other. The Pool right outside our door was clean and warm and looked right over the ocean, at times we had the pool to ourselves as though we were at our very own home.
The location is only about 3 miles outside of downtown Bar Harbor and just around the corner from the entrance to Acadia National Park. We were very close to everything we wanted to do, hiking, biking, going to local beaches and shopping.
Great Haven is right across the street from the ocean. We spent hours with our kids looking for crabs, starfish and what other ocean life we could find when the tide was out.
I would highly recommend Great Haven to anyone that asked, we have many fond memories of our time there and look forward to going back again.

Owner's Response: As you can see, Great Haven really is a perfectly located vacation home for folks and families who are looking to make the most from their Bar Harbor/Acadia Park experience. Great Haven's location affords you easy access to all the sights and activities yet your homebase is in more of a neighborhood than tourist hub area. We are long time locals who truly enjoy helping our guests plan their visit to our little slice of paradise--or Eden, as Bar Harbor was first called--with insider tips and good humor. We built and we own Great Haven, and as you can tell from our reviews, we take a great deal of pride in maintaining a clean and comfortable vacation home for our guests. We would be honored to welcome you to Great Haven, too!
Highly Recommended!

We had never used Home Away before but while surfing the web one night, we decided to make some inquiries. Jaye and Bob were very easy and a pleaure to deal with. Everything about settling the contract was straightforward and clear, and they went out of their way to make our travel to, and our stay at the condo a wonderful experience. The condo itself was sparkling clean and more than comfortable. Our family of four stayed at Great Haven July 26-Aug2/08. The condo is located at the doorstep of Acadia Park and the shuttle bus stops right outside for easy commuting to the Park and to Bar Harbour. It couldn't get any easier to explore the area! There is lots to do - hiking, swimming, seaside exploring, shopping in downtown Bar Harbor and every restaurant there was better than the last one! Brewery tours, kayaking (Aquaterra was amazing), window shopping, bicycling...the list goes on - something for everyone. Great Haven is easy to find and offers a vacation that our family found to be both interesting and relaxing as well as affordable. Five stars! Thanks Bob and Jaye for some great memories!
Owner's Response: Visitors who want to spend their vacation having fun, not taking lots of time getting to it, will really appreciate Great Haven's location on Mount Desert Island. You are only 5 minutes from downtown Bar Harbor and can easily walk to Acadia National Park's Hulls Cove enterance. And there's plently of easily accessed safe storage in the entry level of your condo to park all your "toys" like bikes, kayaks, or canoes, in addition to a heated garage for your vehicle. If you're seasoned travelers like Barb and Jay and you're coming to downeast Maine to get out and play, Great Haven just might be exactly what you're looking for in a vacation home!

Our family of six adults stayed at Great Haven Town Homes June 21-28, 2008. The town home was spacious, clean, and included the necessities. A cove and restaurant were across the highway within walking distance and we were close to Bar Harbor. The management was responsive to an initial request. Because the facility was so perfect, we were able to concentrate on having fun and enjoying Bar Harbor. It was a wonderful family vacation with our adult children.
Owner's Response: One of the wonderful aspects of vacationing at Great Haven is that it "works" for all kinds of visitors; families with young children, those with teens on the go, or as you can see, adult gatherings too. It's a wonderful feeling knowing that we're able to make so many people--with so many different lifestyles--all feel right at home at Great Haven.
