We enjoyed our stay due to the ocean view while we had dinner and from the bedroom waking up to an ocean view. We appreciated the fully stocked kitchen and the abundance of steaming hot water for a luxurious shower. The grounds and atmosphere were serene: no noise just meditative quiet. A great stay!

Beautiful inside and out!

We came for the ocean view. What we got was the famous Maine coast, the most comfortable and well appointed cabin, a beautiful landscape and garden, and the sweetest most gracious hosts. A wonderful base to explore Acadia and all of the towns and harbors.

Just Perfect!

Everything about our stay was wonderful! The cottage is comfortable, clean, and well equipped. The view is beautiful. The hosts are kind. We saw deer and bald eagles right from the porch. The sound of the waves was so soothing. A great place to stay!!!

Great couples retreat

Me and my wife first visit to the Acadia-Bar Harbor area. The cottage was a perfect place to have easy access to the area. It was quite with beautiful views of the ocean. The cottage met all our expectations and hope to stay again on our next visit to the area. Grant and Becky the cottage owners were great and very hospitable. After staying one week it is easy to understand why this cottage gets such great ratings.

Wonderful Vacation at Seawall Cottage

Everything we expected and more! This was the perfect getaway: serene, peaceful, beautiful, private, and very relaxing. We hope to come back in the future and enjoy the wonderful island of Mt.

We had a beautiful week in Acadia, and having this lovely cottage as our home base made it all the more special. The bed and linens were exceptionally comfortable, and the rain shower was a luxurious treat. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed — from sharp knives to a salad spinner!We loved the stunning views and the peaceful sight of deer grazing regularly in the yard. And our host was extremely warm, friendly, and helpful. Having stayed in many homes and cottages in Southwest Harbor over the years, we can honestly say this was one of the most memorable. A truly special place!

We loved our stay at Grant and Becky's cottage! The cottage is so comfortable and very, very clean. The beautiful grounds and spectacular view made it such a relaxing place to come back to after hiking and biking. We cooked a fair amount while there, and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Feeding apples to the deer was also daily bonus. But mostly, we really appreciated our gracious hosts. Grant and Becky went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed and made us feel right at home! We hope to return!

Couple in our Sixties

My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful week at Seawall. The newly renovated cabin is in a great quiet location just yards from the sea and within easy travelling distance to S.West Harbor and hiking all around Acadia. The place is tastefully done, with everything you need for comfort, warmth and any kind of cooking. We'd highly recommend it for couples or single people of any ages.

Exceeds Expectations!

My wife and I have had the pleasure of staying at quite a few wonderful places from Portland to Lubec. Seawall Cottage at Stone Beach is truly a gem! The location is spectacular with the overall property being serene, offering great views and the pictures of the grounds do not do justice for the beauty this place offers. It's no wonder the reviews are so high, the 5 stars are deserved. My wife and I will definitely plan a return trip to this wonderful spot on Mount Desert Island.

Thanks so much for staying with us. As the first guests of the the season, you were troupers to live through the water heater's failure with great tolerance and style. Please come back and join our regulars!

Heavenly!

The cottage, property, and surrounding area far exceeded our expectations. Grant and Becky’s property is beautiful, and their care of it meticulous. Especially appreciated the well outfitted kitchen, books about local topics, comfy bed and linens, cannot express enough that every detail of the cottage was perfect. Only wish we’d scheduled two weeks to enjoy the oceans views, lovely garden, deer and fawns, mama mallard and her chicks popping their heads out each morning on our way into Acadia—a true slice of heaven. Thank you for having us.

Perfection

One word pretty much sums it up - “WOW!” I’ve rented many a house and it’s all too rare to have reality turn out better than the photos, reviews and pictures, but this one did - by miles. The property is stunning, the sound of the ocean is ever-present, the cottage is clean and has everything - including brilliantly sharp knives and a sharpener. A rare thing indeed. And on top of all of it, Grant and Becky are lovely and warm and beyond welcoming. A total pleasure and joy of a week - in one of my favorite places. Wow indeed.

Wonderful cottage, Wonderful vacation

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Seawall cottage close to Southwest Harbor. The cottage was delightful, comfortable and a pleasure to call home for a week. The view was amazing and a wonder to see first thing each morning. The deer were welcome visitors a few times during our stay! The cottage was well appointed and the bathroom was beyond amazing. We have visited the Acadia National Park area a few times and this was the best place we ever stayed and was very reasonably priced. The town of Southwest Harbor had wonderful restaurants and services. Whereas it was a little difficult to get in and out of the town due to road construction, the peacefulness and quietness of this part of the island was well worth the minor inconvenience. When we travel back to the area, my husband and I will definitely stay at this cottage if available. I only wish Grant had a larger property for rent here so we could bring the whole family!
Response from VrboOwner on Mar 6, 2020
So glad you enjoyed the place. The Fall is a beautiful time of year if the weather cooperates and it's a perfect time to explore all day and build a fire and keep cozy at night. The cottage seems to be just what a couple needs for a week. Sorry we can't accomodate more people. Past visitors with families have rented a second place nearby and loved being alone sometimes and together at other times. Come back next year!
