Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Castine

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Samantha's place in Cushing. To say that she is "very responsive" would be an understatement. She typically responded within 10 minutes no matter what my question was. She lives a short distance away which really helped facilitate things. We had a minor issue with the Internet which required communication with the service provider, but she coordinated everything and resolved it right away. The house is totally charming - old, a bit creaky and adorable - and well maintained (no issues there). We imagined how great it would be to visit in wintertime and snuggle up to a roaring fire. They have an expansive yard with gardens great for a short evening stroll. Forest habitat behind the property was great for bird watching. The area is absolutely beautiful - quintissential coastal Maine. The Olson House (local attraction) is a few minutes drive from the house. The grounds have a walking trail along the water with fantastic views of the coast.

We came to Bar Harbor for the MDI Marathon, and this ended up the perfect location, just two blocks from the start line. Price-wise it was comparable to any hotels for the four of us and the full kitchen helped us save some time and money by prepping most of our own meals. Having laundry was a huge plus for a longer stay and being able to pack less. Everything was well-maintained and Sara gave us great info and local recommendations before our stay. Would definitely recommend!

Better than pictured and Christina was great! Will definitely stay again!

We chose this adorable house in Rockland for our second annual book retreat! It was the perfect size for the three of us with comfortable accommodations and lots of places to sit and relax and read. The beds gave us some of the best nights sleep we’d had in a while and the living room was great for late night conversations and movies! The location was perfect and we walked into town every day for a little adventure! Alicia provided us with so many incredible recommendations for spots to try in town. One week here just wasn’t enough, and we’re already looking for reasons to come back! Maybe for the Lobster Festival?! Overall, this was a fantastic stay with a wonderful host!

Our stay was absolutely perfect. Robard did everything he could to make us feel welcome. We had a few questions given that we were visiting in the off seasoning and he always responded quickly and helpfully. His place was clean and cozy!

We enjoyed our stay in Ellsworth! Everything was clean and as described. Brian was great at communicating before both check in and check out

"From my daughter: This is our 3rd trip to Acadia National Park, but the first time at this Air B&b. Originally it was supposed to be for 5 of us, but 3 couldn't make it, so it ended up just being my husband and I. The Air B&b is in a remote enough area that it is nice and peaceful, but still an easy 20-30 minute drive to almost anywhere on Mt. desert island. The house has so many thoughtful touches, like an area outside for a campfire, supplies for smores, basic seasoning and condiments, all the light switches labeled (so thankful for that!), etc. We did a grocery run our first day and came back to the house for almost all our meals. This was a cozy place and we'd recommend to anyone visiting Mt. Desert Island and would return here again if we come back in the future."

lovely family home. Had every thing you would need. rules are explicit. it may be helpful to know that the one bathroom is on the second floor.Although family is not in the area, they were responsive in a short period of time. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

We sent our children to school and chose to stay here. It's close to the main road and also very quiet. The room looks bigger than the photos. There are amenities such as a refrigerator, microwave, induction cooker, etc., which is convenient for us to cook instant noodles and boil some water. You can see little squirrels in the snow outside when you lie in bed. It's very comfortable. I'm very lucky to be able to stay in this historic old house. The Host will respond promptly if there are any small problems. We will stay here again if we have the chance.

Our stay was fantastic. The place was clean and laid out nicely. It was also close enough and an easy drive to Acadia National Park. Highly recommend, and I would definitely come back and stay here again!

Great stay with Dom. Exactly what we were looking for. Short walk to everything. Comfy beds.

Not only is Nicole a gracious host and cheerily responsive to questions, the space is adorable! Everything you need to be comfortable, in a great neighborhood, within walking distance to EVERYTHING downtown, including a very sweet harbor! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This spacious place was perfect for a getaway! So close to restaurants , shops and Belfast Harbor walk, yet so quiet at night.

The bright open concept upstairs apartment was very clean and uncluttered. we appreciated the seasoning and coffee and Maine books left for us to use. I liked the TV feature which automatically canceled our Netflix connection at the end of our stay.

Perfect location for a short visit to see my mom. Apartment was cozy and comfortable, and Blue Hill being nearby for groceries and restaurants was very handy. If you are planning a trip to the area you should check this place out.

Staying here to go into Acadia NP was the best decision of our whole trip. The place was clean and well cared for, and Renee and partner were super friendly. Renee had a ton of little things in the apartment that made the trip/stay so much better. She clearly thought this through very well. My family and I had a fantastic experience and will definitely stay here again if in the area.

Love this Condo. Superb location in Blue Hill Village, easily walkable to everything downtown. Modern and updated making it very comfortable. Well equipped with cleaning/cooking supplies so you can "live normally". The hosts are super responsive and helpful as well. Highly recommended.

We were very happy start to finish. The location was just so unique and incredible. Right on a working marina, but very quiet. Plenty to see and do nearby. Walk across the pier and buy live lobsters. Christie was extremely helpful and quick to respond when asked. Condo was very well done with plenty of touches to make it homey. A good value! If we come back to Maine, we’ll call her first.

We really enjoyed this cozy garage apartment! I love owls, so that was a bonus. The privacy offered by the blinds was nice (rare to find in an AirBnb). Comfy sofa, ample towels and all around great! Sadly, now that AirBnb has voiced its support for DOGE, I will likely no longer use to book, but I’d stay again.

This place was amazing! The host was very responsive and accommodating! The place had so many accommodations! The main house offered snacks for both humans and dogs! There was board games, a large fire pit area, and grill area. The host answered my many questions about local recommendations. The kitchen was fully equipped. This place is a great find and you will surely return home relaxed, refreshed, and recharged!

The location and size of the unit for our needs was perfect. The staff was very helpful, knowledgable and friendly.

She made cookies the moment we checked in and delivered them to us with warm milk. Wonderful host with great knowledge of the beautiful Pemaquid region

Lovely, clean apartment with a terrific location! We highly recommend and hope to return soon--maybe even for Pumpkinfest again next year. Thank you especially for the extra blankets, that was such a kind gesture.

We had a wonderful weekend at Derek's house. I have never seen an Airbnb with such a whole kitchen kit. The house is about 30 minutes away from Acadia National Park and has an easy access to all kinds of food at the town center.
