About this property

Tides-oceanfront cottage near Acadia

Tides Cottage is a beautifully situated waterfront retreat on a quiet tidal inlet in Bass Harbor near Acadia National Park. Designed for comfort and relaxation, this inviting coastal cottage offers peaceful water views, modern amenities, and the perfect location for exploring the quieter side of Mount Desert Island.

The home features 3 bedrooms, each with it's own private bath, comfortably accommodating up to 6 people. The king bedroom includes a newly renovated tile walk-in shower, the twin bedroom also offers new tile walk-in shower and the queen bedroom features a shower stall.

The open kitchen, dining, and living area is filled with natural light from vaulted ceilings and large windows facing east over the water. Relax by the cozy wood-burning fireplace after a day exploring Acadia or enjoy the comfort of both heating and air conditioning throughout the home.

Outdoor living is just as special at Tides. The deck offers comfortable seating for morning coffee, waterfront dining, or taking in beautiful sunrises. Just off the front porch, guests can gather around the wood burning fire pit and enjoy meals off the grill at the picnic table.

Guests also have access to a shared dock with the neighboring cottage, complete with kayaks and a rowboat. Conveniently located within walking distance of Archies lobster and close to many Acadia National Park hiking trails, Tides is also just three miles from the center of Southwest Harbor where you will find shops and restaurants.

About the host

Hosted by Stacy Just

Host profile image
We purchased 2.5 acres on Bass Harbor in 1974 and built our home and the cottages in the following years adding upgrades and renovations almost yearly. We are native to Mount Desert Island, have 2 grown children and 4 almost grown grandchildren. We enjoy boating the Maine coast, kayaking the local waters and walking the trails of Acadia.

Why they chose this property

This cottage is all wood, no smelly carpets, is located right at the water's edge on Mill Creek off Bass Harbor and is only 3 miles to down town Southwest Harbor and 25 minutes to down town Bar Harbor. Entrances to Acadia are all around us.

What makes this property unique

Sitting in the swing at the water's edge with morning coffee and again at the end of the day is a peaceful start and ending to every day. The white washed vaulted ceilings and glass front gives the combined living/kitchen a spacious feel and perfect spot for bird watching with our binoculars. Each bedroom will have its own private bath with completion of renovations in May for added privacy for all guests!
