Seal Cove Cottage by the Shore

Lovely spot. Very clean and well stocked. We cooked in a few nights and enjoyed the view of Seal Cove as we ate. Sunset was amazing with many great shots as the sun set. My two daughters, 2 dogs and my husband and I stayed very comfortably in the cottage. Loved having access to laundry. We played some of the games they had as well. It’s a quick 30 min drive to Bar Harbor, with closer hiking in Bass Harbor and Southwest Harbor as well. Many great trails near by and recommendations from our host. Hosts were easily accessible because but not bothersome. It felt very remote, safe and cozy.

Seal Cove Cottage was a wonderful, quiet location sitting on the ocean.looking out with wonderful views from the deck and living room. We launched our kayak from the beach/dock daily for paddles in Seal Cove and adjacent areas (could have used theirs). Ten minutes from SW Harbor's restaurants and market. Exactly what we were looking for, and would love to come back.

We arrived our first night just at sunset. The views from the cottage were amazing. There was also a path down to the water. We spent our days hiking, biking and kayaking, but tried to make sure that we were back each night for sunset and tide pooling. When the tide was low, we could almost walk out to the seal that hung out on a rock everyday in front of the cottage. They had kayaks, rowboats and a motor boat there for us to enjoy. The cottage was well stocked with everything you need from soap to laundry detergent as well as all the spices you need for cooking. We cooked almost every night. I even boiled lobsters for the first time. The hot water heater was broken when we arrived, but I was very impressed with how fast management responded. The owner, Ginny, came out with the plumber within the hour. They had to order a part and again, I couldn't believe how fast it came. In the meantime, she made sure I had somewhere to shower with hot water. Thank you for a wonderful time! We were sad to leave!

Cabin was well equipped, views from the deck were awesome. Enjoyed being on the "quiet" side of MDI.

We stayed over Columbus Day weekend and had a wonderful time. The location of the house is amazing, right on the water. The sunsets were gorgeous and we really enjoyed sitting out on the porch in the evening. The house was dog friendly, which was a huge plus because we were able to bring our two dogs. We didn't have the right weather to be able to use the kayaks or row boat, but wandered the beach right in front of the house and did some exploring. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet retreat with amazing views!
