All three generations of our family who stayed at the Heart Rock House had a fabulous time. We loved the house and the beach. The house had everything we needed and it was incredible to have a beach mostly to ourselves each day! We loved looking for sea glass, exploring the tide pools, paddle boarding (we brought ours), and swimming. We also loved watching all the various birds including osprey, hawks, eagles, loons and more. Ending the day with dinner from the grill and then a fire with smores, was perfect.

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.

Great stay in Searsport!

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.

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.

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!

We had a wonderful family vacation at the Heart Rock House. Five star hosts and home and we would definitely stay again. The AC kept the entire space comfortable during a hot week. The house is clean with comfortable beds and furniture, and more spacious than it looks in pictures. Everything is updated and the kitchen plenty stocked for cooking. We enjoyed the small yard which provided some welcomed shade and a place for kids to play in the afternoon. We appreciated the beach wagon and a few kids toys available. Jason was fantastic and quick to communicate. We had a hiccup at check in but it was resolved quickly and fairly. The beach at low tide was our favorite. We only saw a couple of other people during our one week stay, we pretty much had it to ourselves. We found lots of treasures - sea glass and many shells and even 7 sand dollars. The water was calm but we didn’t swim because there were too many jellyfish washing up on shore. From what I’ve heard this had been common around Maine this summer, not just here. The house was closer to town than expected with all the amenities nearby. Hannaford, restaurants, ice cream, even a small bowling alley a minute down the road. Stop at Perry’s nut house if you have young kids - a neat little general store. Thank you for a lovely getaway for our family. We hope to return!

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!
