Great Stay on the Bay

We had stayed in the area previously, and we really enjoyed finding and staying at Seashells. It was the perfect spot for our family of four to unwind and come back to after a day of exploring. The views to the bay are simply beautiful. We really enjoyed our stay!

The house was exactly like described. Beautiful waterfront setting away from the crowds. Slightly longer drive to Acadia, but worth it. Great local places to eat and explore.

Erica, I am happy to hear that the Cottage is all that is was expected to be and more :). The good thing about Maine is that despite the drive time to get to places, there is always something beautiful to see along the road; wildlife, bodies of water, flowers, etc. Also am happy for you that you got to experience some time in Acadia! It is so breath takingly beautiful. We hope to help to assist in any future vacations. Acadia is known to be a top spot to visit during the fall season as well with all the fall colored leaves that mirror off the water. Have a wonderful rest of your summer! Cheers! :)

A quiet and relaxing getaway

We loved this property! The charming A-frame acted as a great home base for our activities in the area, and there were books and other things to do supplied for those rainy rainy days. It's not far to town, and a reasonable drive to Bangor and Bar Harbor. Located in a quiet neighborhood, we couldn't hear or see the neighbors, and the beach in the property made for good exploring at lower tides. Thank you!

It was lovely staying here, it’s so nice to sit on the deck looking out at the water. Couldn’t find the second key, though we didn’t need it. It is not a quick trip to Acadia and we knew that going in. It was like staying at my parents place but that’s where the fifth star is missing, the property is a little dated. The kitchen was up dated with a nice convection stove though.

Hope that you were able to make some yummy dishes and put it to good use. In regards to the key, I apologize if there was any inconvenience there with not having access to a second key. Happy to hear though that even with that, the stay was a pleasurable one and that you were able to enjoy some of the beauty of Maine :)

Acadia Getaway

This home had it all! We loved the big picture windows looking out to the water! Our girls are 10 and loved going down to the water and skipping rocks or looking for sea glass during low tide. The home had everything we needed to cook some meals and sleep comfortably. The location was great also! 40-45 minutes to Acadia and Bar Harbor and gorgeous views along the way! We would definitely stay here again!

Very nice.

House was very nice, clean, and very comfortable. Hancock Point is beautiful. Frenchman's Bay was deafeningly quiet during the week except for the howl of a colony or two of seals during low tide on the rocks. Bean Island in the middle is a nice calm 10-15 minute paddle out in the morning. Would definitely do this again!

Very nice stay. Was a little to far from Acadia to do things. Spent alot of time traveling. Overall nice, house was dusty when we arrived. Website said there was a drip coffeemaker, it was a Keurig? Not prepared for that.

I am hoping you visited Carters Beach, 3 miles from the house. Schoodic Point? A part of Acadia National Park that is a must see! Ellsworth? 5 miles with lots of restaurants, antique shops, and things to do. I am sure you saw this, it is all in the guest book at the house. Were you able to use the firepit under the clear Maine skies? Take in the waterfront or seaglass hunt in front of the house? I hope so!! Thank you for the 4 stars, we will make sure that we deserve 5 stars next time!! Simply Rentals USA

Didn’t want to leave!

This place was just want our family needed. House was exactly as advertised with a brand new fire pit. Bald eagles hang out in the trees, we saw seals, harbor porpoises, and maybe something a little bigger out in the water. My girls found plenty of seaglass, shells and crabs along the beach. Bar Harbor and plenty of places to eat about 40 minutes away. Remote, but beautiful place to be, especially on a clear night I’ve never seen so many stars! Owners responded quickly even though we had no major issues. I highly recommend this place!

A lovely summer spot

We loved our stay! The private beach just steps from the house was magical! I would go down and drink coffee in the morning, and my kids loved skipping rocks. Water shoes (not flip flops) are strongly recommended! We happened to visit during a heat wave, so the bracing water was indeed nature’s air conditioning. We also attended a concert at the Pierre Montreaux School, which was a delightful evening. Highly recommend this special experience, even if classical music is not your normal jam. We really enjoyed driving the Schoodic Loop and the Sculpture Trail. We visited Bar Harbor for a day because we had plans with others, but would not bother again, as the Schoodic Peninsula of Acadia has fewer crowds and equally breathtaking vistas.

Wonderful View, Short Drive to Acadia, nice house

We got delayed a day, so we had to call the manager to let her know, and figure out the door code. She immediately answered and got it sorted out! The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our own meals and enjoy the views instead of paying a restaurant for them. The bathrooms were clean, had all the towels we needed and the bed was cozy. We went searching for sea glass every night and never went away empty handed. We saw harbor seals, porpoises, and what we believed to be a whale all from our back deck. The neighborhood is quiet and calm and we enjoyed taking walks. YU takeout has the best deals for lobster rolls and Sailor and Hook had great souvenirs from Bar Harbor. We definitely recommend Sail Acadia for a fun adventure on a historic sailboat, and Country Store Antiques, Books and Wine was a fun to look for local treasures. 10/10 would recommend staying at this amazing waterfront house for a getaway!
