Location: Southwest Harbor, Mount Desert Island, Acadia, Maine, USA
Accommodations: A Sea Captain's Home, 3 Bedrooms, 1.5 Baths (Sleeps 7)
Built in 1879, this home is located on Mount Desert Island, Maine. Cartain Beal, sea captain and light house keeper up and down the Maine coast, lived in this house from 1923 until his son-in-law began living in it in 1943. This was his son-in-law's home for over a half century.
His natural affinity for wood and woodworking is still reflected in the wainscoting and woodwork within. This home is still owned by the family and is located in Southwest Harbor on the Manset side, and it's but a few minutes walk to the shore, the town dock, and the Free MDI shuttle bus which will take you all over the island.
It is also a 5 minute drive to town and the local restaurants. The Home has a very large private yard and is just a few short miles from Acadia National Park and within easy access to all of the MDI towns and Cadallic Mountain.
