Maine the Way It Used To Be
I was born in Maine (too many years ago to discuss!) so I know this to be true, the Schoodic Surf Cottage is Maine the way it used to be.
As others have said, the photos do not do this cottage and its location justice. The house is larger than it appears (1,800 sq. feet), this was on the internet information, but I did not pay attention, so I was pleasantly surprised. I loved the décor. It has a cottage feel, but includes many personal touches that make you feel right at home. My family owns vacation property, so I understand how hard the owners have worked. I also know they do a great job keeping the home clean. Yes, clean! You just never know when renting, do you? The phone numbers to the owner, caretaker and rental agent are posted where you feel you really could call if there was anything wrong. The owner has even put together a great book about the area to help with day trip decisions.
Prospect Harbor is small (no red lights), but the people are friendly. There is a deli just down the street and a cute library with a lovely view. The next town, Winter Harbor has a couple restaurants, art galleries and a neat 5&10. Also, an IGA if you need supplies. Ellsworth is only 30 minutes away and has everything from McDonalds, Super Wal-Mart and a cute downtown with good restaurants.
The beautiful Schoodic Point portion of Acadia National Park is only five miles from the cottage. Bar Harbor is about 45 minutes away.
Now for the best part - the ocean view is amazing. The rocks are real Maine pink granite. Yes, large granite rocks, not pebbles or sand, and real deep water Atlantic Ocean, not that Maine mud at low tide. It’s the real thing! Waves crashing and everything. Lobster buoys, lobster boats and life-altering sunrises (sleep with the shades to the ocean up). There are Adirondack chairs and even a hammock. I don’t know if you can get a view like this anywhere else. If so, I have yet to find it.
HIDDEN GEM
We can not say enough about this wonderful Schoodic Surf Cottage! We felt welcomed from the moment we walked through the door. It was warm, inviting, clean, sunny and welcoming. Special touches awaited us at every turn. We appreciated every one of them. This house is bigger than it looks, there is plenty of room for entertaining. The new deck on the ocean side of the house is just lovely. Perfect for sitting for morning coffee, and even better to watch the tide come in with a glass of wine! Of all the rentals that we have stayed in, this is BY FAR my favorite. Anyone that chooses this home WILL NOT be disappointed! I am already planning 2 weeks here next year! This is a HIDDEN GEM!!!
Quiet & Relaxing
We had an absolute wonderful time staying at Kent & Lynell's cottage! We arrived late at night so when we awoke we were in for a wonderful surprising view! The pictures can't put into words how awesome the back ocean view is! We spent many nights down on the granite watching the water & exploring & even got the see the bald eagle twice as we were eating lobster at the picnic table!
Kent & Lynell have a huge book of ideas and locations to go explore around the area (which was great!!) Some of our favorite stops were Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park, the local lobster boat/fishing place about 5 min from the house (yummy lobster!!), and Bar Harbor for some evening entertainment.
We would highly recommend this place to stay, especially if you're looking for something that feels like home, but gives you the cozy authentic Maine feel!! The location is quiet, but there are enough amenities around to keep you entertained for your stay. The home was very well kept & clean and had everything we needed to get by for our weeks visit.
This place is a must!
Relaxing and Surreal
This house was wonderful and so were the owners. A storm had just gone through and there was not any electric when we arrived and Kent and Lynell were wonderful to work with. The house is just as pictured and the setting is very relaxing! Everything you could need is provided and the house is very clean! You can go to sleep every night with the windows down and hear the waves crashing. The house is right around the corner from the best section of Acadia National Park. There were three of us that stayed and all of us loved relaxing at the house on the ocean. Our deposit was quickly returned which is always a plus. We hope to be able to make it back one day and that this house will be available again. We definitely would recommend this house. Thank you Kent and Lynell for opening your home to us. The Bolyard Family.
Perfect Location, Perfect Home, Wonderful Owners
We've been coming to Downeast Maine for several years and love it (hope to retire here), but this is the first rental home we wanted to come back to. We've already booked for next year.
The location is beautiful. The house is in a quiet development in woods adjacent to the Prospect Harbor Lighthouse. As others have said, the pictures on this site don't do justice. It's a perfect Cape with an open layout (and gorgeous pine floors) downstairs and a well-done dormer'd two bedroom and bath space upstairs. The furniture is very nice, and the owners have supplied decent linens and dishware (not all of them do) as well as good cookware. WiFi made being up here for two weeks manageable work-wise, and we especially appreciated the ability to use the no-charge land line (cell service is not good). The best part, though, is the backyard ... lovely garden beds and stairs that lead to huge pink granite boulders that you can walk at low tide. No mud flats here! We arrived just before Hurricane Irene, and watching the pitch pines sway in the wind over the rocks was an amazing experience.
The owners and their property manager are terrific. Both Kent and Lynell checked in before, during, and after the storm, and Wendy is as responsive as anyone we've ever dealt with.
This place is a treasure. Be sure to check out the Fisherman's Inn in Winter Harbor, Le Domaine in Hancock, Jordan's Snack Bar in Ellsworth, and the Prospect Harbor Farmers Market.
Schoodic Surf a Sure Delight!
Schoodic Surf Cottage is a charming cape nestled on a wooded lot. The best part of each day was sipping coffee in the cozy, yet spacious master bedroom while watching the sun rise each morning. Everything in the cottage is excellent: the cleanliness, the furniture, the decorating scheme, the well-organized kitchen. The owner has thoughtfully provided a notebook detailing where everything needed is located in the house as well as activities and attractions in the area. Vacationers can choose whether to simply sit by the ocean and enjoy the sounds of the sea, or use Schoodic Surf as their home base while exploring Downeast Maine. This house is a treasure!
