New prices, summer getaway at Seashore Cottage, Great Views and cozy fireplace

Sea Shore Cottage is a charming 1920's style cottage with a large, sloping lawn right down to the ocean. This property is right in the heart of Acadia National Park, within minutes to such sites as Bass Harbor Head light, Echo Lake, Somes Sound, and Beech Cliffs.

This house has been recently renovated, it overlooks Southwest Harbor, Sutton Island, the Cranberry Islands, and Greening Island. This ideal spot is within walking distance of superb restaurants, specialty shops, a full service marina, galleries, and sea glass hunting. Coffee shops, an ice cream parlor, and children's playground are just a few things that are within a five minute walk. In just minutes you can drive to Echo Lake, Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse, and many other popular Acadia National Park destinations.

Don't want to drive? Load up on the free Island Explorer shuttle that stops directly across the street! During the summer stop by the farmers market or take a sunset sail on one of the many boats offering them. There are also many opportunities to take a ferry to one or more of the surrounding islands for hiking or biking.

This house is on a property shared with three houses. There's a shared fire pit with seating adjacent to the shore.

Everything was perfect. The host thought of everything. We didn’t need to buy anything except food. She even provided coffee. My only complaint was the marina next-door. It had a docking area but also a separate working area for repairs so was a little noisy on workdays when I wanted to sit by the water and enjoy coffee in the the quiet.

Well kept and appointed home. Very comfortable. The owner was quick to respond to inquiries and lives close so is able to replace or fix anything quickly. (nothing was broken but a lobster pot had a hole in it and was replaced within 30 minutes!) Great location.

We had a great stay at the home, which was well accommodated and very comfortable. The beds were comfy and the in window air-conditioning unit units were very effective. While the home is not large, it is well laid out and the space is used efficiently so we still felt very comfortable with our family of five and our dog. The area is beautiful with so many different things to do and lots of good food and hiking.

Very comfortable and well-appointed cottage for our family of four. Great location, peaceful and quiet but we were able to walk to town to visit shops and restaurants. Quick drive to hikes and other Acadia activities. Host was proactive and responsive -- check-in and checkout were a breeze.

Maine/Acadia Family Vacation

Our family of 4 (2 parents and 2 adult children) drove from Chicago to Maine to experience Mom's East Coast heritage. This house in Southwest Harbor delivered! Things we loved: walkabilty to town and short drive to Bar Harbor, functional kitchen allowed us to shop/cook and save money on meals, king bed in primary bedroom, 3 other separate sleeping areas, laundry area, view of the boats from the back deck, niceties like TVs ( didnt turn them on once) and AC. The host is helpful and responsive and the home is clean, comfortable and loaded with East Cost charm! We enjoyed hiking in Acadia National Park (very close), Beals Lobster Pier, a Lighthouse and Puffin cruise, shell/sea glass hunting, antiquing, LOTS of ice cream at the Salt Shop and coffee from Top Notch. Salt Shop and Beals were AMAZING with Mom's gluten allergy. Wonderful memories made here.

House is very cute and kitchen was well stocked and clean. We only used the king bed and it was very comfortable. Washer and dryer are located in the basement, which explains why there were no photos of them in the listing. Only complaint is the bathroom sink faucets are too small for the sink which made it hard to wash hands. The living room rug could use some cleaning, but other than that the entire house was very clean. Nice deck for enjoying meals. Lots of towels and wash clothes, which we appreciated. Location was good.

This house has charm. It was a darling house that was super clean! The beds were very coney and the deck was nice to relax on. Christy was extremely easy to work with and willing to help! The only caution I would have with this house is if you have small children just know 2 beds are on an enclosed front porch with a door. Even my young adults were nervous to sleep there! Overall though I would definitely stay again at one of Christy’s properties!

Charming and nicely decorated inside

Charming home, nicely decorated. Nice view of SW Harbor. Close to grocery store, restaurants, Acadia. If you cannot walk up a flight of stairs, you may want to contact the host, though. Great location. We took a ride on a lobster boat, went to Bar Harbor, went to Cadillac mountain, and drove the park loop. We really enjoyed the island and its beauty.

We stayed at the house for three weeks and it worked very well. Our boys (5 & 8) enjoyed the firepit next to the water, the short walk to the shops, library, ice cream, etc. and close proximity to a working harbor.

Maine

The property is beautiful there wasn't anything we needed that wasn't provided to us. Christie was an amazing hostess. We took the ferry to Swans Island and go stuck on the island due to the dock breaking and I reached out to her, and she sent her nephew to come pick us up from Bass Harbor once we got back to the main island because we had to leave our rental on Swans Island! We were so grateful for her all her help. I highly recommend staying in the Cottage and on Southwest Harbor.

Christie was an exceptional host and we very much enjoyed having this charming house as our base to a wonderful family vacation. The house was very clean and offered everything we needed for the week. We enjoyed making a camfire by the water many of the nights we were there. That was a treat that we miss by not camping...thumbs up.

Perfect MDI Family Trip

Our stay at Christie’s cottage was the perfect stage for having a wonderful family vacation with my wife and I, two parents, two young children, and the family dog! We could walk into quaint Southwest Harbor for a meal and shopping, or make the 20 minute drive to Bar Harbor and the Acadia Loop. The house itself too, with large deck, fire pit and access to the ocean offered plenty to do. We would highly recommend and will return!
