3 Season Oceanfront Studio.Floor to ceiling windows, artsy, in-floor heat, decks

First of all our host, Dee was fabulous. She let me know we could check in early and that we could use the cottage deck with great views of the water and Cadillac Mountain in AcadiaNational Park!! The studio was adorable and furnished with an artistic flair. The heat is radiant so you could walk on the floors barefoot and feel the warmth. Everything was clean and tidy!! It was super peaceful and not hard to get into your zen place. Thanks Dee!

We had a terrific week at this great property in Downeast Maine. The studio was very comfortable and well equipped. Many nice touches. We truly felt like we were staying in someone's home rather than just a vacation property. Dee was easy to deal with and we definitely plan to return in future years. Perfect location to see the surrounding sights and to top it off, there is a lobster shack just three miles away. Heaven on earth!

Perfect spot for a get away; comfortable, well kept, Dee was welcoming, great suggestions on eating places and touring. Enjoyed most sitting on back deck, listening to the waves, and strolling the beach area. A special thin place.Would love to return.

The Studio by the Sea is an amazing, cozy retreat, right by the waters edge. While it may technically be a studio, it was plenty spacious for us and meticulously appointed with everything we needed. Dee, the owner was a lovely and gracious host with lots of great suggestions for things to do. Hopefully you get to meet her dog Conrad too.

We loved sitting out on the deck, sipping coffee or drinks, reading and relaxing with the nice ocean breeze keeping us cool and comfortable during what was a hot week. The ocean temps were perfect for swimming which we did nearly every day. You must have a fire on the beach and roast some marshmallows - delightful! We loved the lobster rolls at Perry's just down the road, the hike up Blue Hill Mountain, the shops and restaurants in Blue Hill, the beaches in East Blue Hill, and even ventured up to Winter and Prospect Harbor as well - so quaint. Be sure to check out Lee Glass in Gouldsboro and U.S. Bells in Prospect Harbor. Also, we rented kayaks for the week from the Activity Shop and paddled out in the bay (they deliver them right to your doorstep!). If you're into the craft brews (who isn't these days), head on over to Strong Brewing in Sedgwick - just a short drive from the cabin. We chose to avoid MDI and Bar Harbor to avoid the summer crowds but would absolutely stay here in the future for a fall visit to Acadia given the proximity. It was the perfect getaway for us and we left feeling relaxed and recharged. You won't regret renting this place. It's lovely!

Hagen and I spent Jul 28- Aug 4 in this beautiful studio cottage. Dee met and warmly welcomed us. We settled in immediately & went right down the beach which was glorious. We were blessed to have perfect weather throughout. Our cottage was well appointed, very tidy- with everything we needed. Perfect for a couple. We were able to easily prepare breakfast and coffee in the morning and have a good size studio fridge for our snacks and beverages. While we spent the majority of our time down on the rocky beach reading and walking, we did take daily trips to Blue Hill, Ellsworth, Schoodic Pt & Acadia.

Dee gave us terrific recommendations for local eateries and attractions. While we live in southern Maine, it was nice to have a local’s perspective on best places to go Downeast. We highly recommend Thurston Co. in Blue Hill and Provendors in Ellsworth for a great dinners. Day trip to Schoodic Point/ Winter Harbor is a must. Lunch at the Gallery and Wharf in Corea ME was amazing.

This visit was the highlight of our vacation experience these last several years, most definitely for 2018. Dee and Jon were lovely hosts, with a beautiful home, and the even shared their adorable dog Conrad with us!
