The house was beautiful, roomy, and cozy. Our host checked in on us several times to make sure we didn’t need anything. They left numbers we could contact if anything came up. When we arrived they had a welcome sign with wine sitting on the counter. The views from the house were gorgeous and we even got to see a seal and deer. I would 100% recommend staying here for your Maine trip.The SC Girls

We had an unforgettable stay at this magnificent property in Prospect Harbor. The location was ideal, with breathtaking sunrises and ocean views to wake to and just a few minutes drive to good restaurants, art galleries, hiking trails, and scenic drives.The cottage was roomy, spotlessly clean, and equipped with everything one could ask for to enjoy a relaxing coastal getaway. Our hosts were incredibly welcoming, responsive, and provided great recommendations on finding fresh local seafood. If you’re looking for a peaceful Maine oceanfront experience, this is the ideal location. We’re already planning our return.

Kent and Lynell are amazing! They answered any and all questions we had and even had a small surprise for us as it was our 30th anniversary celebration trip. The cottage is beautiful and had everything we needed for a week stay with 4 adult children. We enjoyed the different places to sit as well as climbing down to the rocks. The view is to die for and we were very sad to have to leave it behind. We 100% recommend this host and the Schoodic Surf Cottage! We hope to be able to come back some day. Youngberg Family

This property was absolutely perfect. Even smelled brand new from the moment we opened the door. Oversized windows made for magnificent views from every room. Even the decor was well selected and offered a sense of place. Comfortable seating looking directly across the harbor invited us to sit, relax, and just enjoy the tides ebbing and flowing across the rocks. After a day of exploring the area we turned onto the tree lined drive and arrived to see the cottage welcoming us back. The hosts were kind and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Even called us to be sure we had arrived safely and to share information about things to do and see in the area. Perfect place to renew a sense of spirit and calm.

The house was everything you would want for comfort, beauty and relaxing. The views were gorgeous as you would watch the sunrise from inside the house, on the porch or the chairs in the yard. It was very clean and comfortable and had anything you would need. The host was very friendly and checked to make sure all was good upon arrival and gave excellent info about the area ( also, the big book about everything local was helpful). Best VRBO we have ever stayed in.

We had a wonderful week at the Schoodic Surf Cottage! The house was so clean and comfortable. The view is outstanding! We woke up to the most beautiful sunrise each day. The owners checked in the evening we arrived to make sure everything was okay. We can’t wait to go back.

Beautiful well maintained home with breathtaking views of the harbor. Well stocked kitchen, clean and fresh interior, very comfortable beds. Nice decks and clean sturdy deck furniture. Really enjoyed a few other sitting arrangements overlooking the water. Cannot beat freshly steamed lobsters right at the water with salty breeze and pine smell. Definitely recommend!

Another Great Schoodic Surf Cottage Vacation

This was our 5th year staying at SSC. The slower side of Acadia National Park in the Schoodic Penninsula allows us to enjoy all things Maine at a relaxing and enjoyable pace. We especially love the ocean front location of the cottage and the great hosts. Looking forward to next year!

An early spring getaway.

We loved our stay at the Schoodic Surf Cottage! The location is stunning. The sounds and smells of the surf on the granite coast are healing. The amazing sunrise. The SSC has everything you could ever need and the hosts made the visit more like a stop at a friend's house than a run-of-the-mill house rental.

Another Great Vacation By the Sea

This is our 3rd summer at Schoodic Surf Cottage. We love this lovely cottage and feel so fortunate to be able to spend time right on the ocean. It is obvious that the owners, Kent and Lynell, take great pride doing all they can to make sure their guests have the best stay possible. We are looking forward to returning next year!

Idyllic Week For Small Family

Visited with my wife and two young children (8 and 5 yrs old). Great owners, very communicative; clean home and beautiful location; away from tourist hotspots but only a 30 min ferry ride or hour's drive to Bar Harbor, Cadillac Mountain, and other Mount Desert Island attractions. Enjoy!

Relaxing Ocean Retreat

This was our second year at Schoodic Surf Cottage! We so enjoy our days of sitting by the ocean, watching the tide come and go, reading, and slowing down in the beautiful Prospect Harbor. This cottage provides an idyllic Maine experience. We had a wonderful time exploring the Schoodic Peninsula, eating lobster and whoopee pies, and picking blueberries. Looking forward to next year!

Another Great Week at SSC!

We had another amazing summer vacation at Schoodic Surf Cottage! This place is a gem! This year we saw the eagle that landed in a tree on the front lawn for about 30 minutes, harbor seals playing in front of the property, and dear wandering through the lawn several mornings. It was a relaxing week, already looking forward to next year!

Wonderful Stay!!!

From the moment you arrive at SSC you know you are in a special place. Hosts truly care about your stay and call upon your arrival to answer any questions. The property is wonderful, quiet and relaxing. We enjoyed exploring Schoodic, Acadia National Park and towns along the way. Take a puffin cruise on a lobster boat. Sit out and gaze at the stars at night. A perfect place. Thank you.

Perfect Setting

This is our third visit to Maine and our favorite house! The view is beautiful, the house decor and details are perfect. We love being close to Schoodic and driving over to the more crowded Bar Harbor when we desire. The kids loved fishing off of the rocks and even finding crabs and starfish after high tide. They equally loved the indoor and outdoor games provided. Just a perfect week thanks to the thoughtfulness of the owners. We will return!

Serenity on the Coast

This is our 2nd time booking this cottage because the quiet and the views are incredible, and the hosts are so hospitable and helpful! They appreciate their guests, and it shows in every way! There is NO noise here but the wind in the pines and the water on the rocks outside. It is only a short drive into town for supplies or a meal. You are close to the Schoodic part of Acadia, which is less busy and has unique places to hike or explore the coast. After a day of exploring and shopping, this quiet place is the ultimate in relaxation that you can't wait to return to each evening.

This was our second stay at this exceptionally beautifully cottage. The setting is quintessential Maine with fir and spruce scented forest and large sun-warmed, sea-kissed boulders.The house is equipped with everything you could need for a comfortable stay!Cottage is beautifully furnished with comfortable beds and furniture. The back deck has several Adirondack chairs for early morning coffee and evening wine while listening to the waves of the ocean. We have been visiting this area of the coast for 25 years and this is by far our favorite cottage to rent! Owners always check in to make sure we have everything we need and to tell us not to hesitate to call with any concerns or questions.First class accommodations all the way! We will definitely be back.
