The house is very convenient for everything Acadia. The hostess was always reachable if we needed anything, and we needed nothing because the kitchen is well stocked, everything is properly marked and there is plenty of linen and towels. There were five of us, two couples and a single, and with four bedrooms, it would easily accommodated four couples. I would strongly recommend this home if you’re going to spend some time in Acadia.

Oh the ledges are a great swimming spot! Beechwood is located just two miles from three (if not more) of the best freshwater swimming areas and one ocean swimming area. Beechwood is so centrally located that any area of Acadia National Park that you would want to explore is never more than 10 or 15 min away.

Great house for spending time on Mount Desert

This house was perfect for our two families. We had 4 young teen agers and 4 adults and enough room for all of us. Great location to be able to experience all that there is to see and do. The house is very well maintained and comfortable. Jen is wonderful to deal with. All the local books/brochures on hikes and history of the area were a welcome addition and well used by us. We loved every moment there.

Home away from home

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Beechwood. The view from the deck each morning of the fall colors and misty fog layer was truly memorable. As promised, the home was cozy and comfortable, a place to relax and recharge after a day in Acadia National Park and the surrounding area. We found the location to be close to the park, restaurants, and shops, but also off the main road just enough to provide quiet surroundings. The kitchen had everything we needed to make some simple meals. All in all, it was a great place for us to stay.

Lovely Hide-a-way

The home was just as described and worked out perfectly for our (extended) family of 6. plus our dog. There was no shortage of amenities and we enjoyed gathering around the huge table for meals and board games. The property is close to many park entrances, grocery stores, and is a short car ride to Bar Harbor. Just off a main street, the home itself is secluded and on a quiet road. We enjoyed the deck as well. All-in-all a great place to stay when visiting beautiful Arcadia. :-)

The deck is a fantastic place to read a book in the sun, grill up lobsters, or watch the birds that love this particular area. It is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Mount Desert. Thank you again for our wonderful review and we sure enjoyed having you as our guest. We hope to see you again soon.

Great property for a family vacation

The house looked just like the pictures and was clean, well stocked and well maintained. We loved the deck in the back overlooking the marsh especially in the shady mornings. The grill was great and the kitchen had all the dishes and utensils needed for a crowd. Loved the air conditioning because the upstairs bedrooms could get hot at night. The manager of the property was outstanding and always responded promptly. They also had a good website. We would love to return again next year.

Well stocked and in good condition

We rented this house over the Memorial Day long weekend, with another family; four adults, two kids and a baby fit very comfortably. Everything was clean and in good condition, and the place was well stocked - even the kitchen and bathrooms. There was a huge grill on the patio in great shape, and even the knives in the kitchen were sharp. Communication with Jen was easy and she was very helpful with info. You should have no reservations about renting this place.

Cute house, clean, great location.

The home was great, with the exception of the beds being too hard for each adult in our family. However, bed firmness is subjective. Enjoyed the deck a great deal, as well as the grill. We utilized the grocery service Mountain Sea Properties offered and we're very happy we did. Worth every penny! A visit to Beal's Lobster Pier is a must! Thanks to Jen at Mountain Sea Properties for the recommendation.

Pleasant and/but Homey

The property was very nice - we were grateful that it was available during early summer. The house was homey - not resort-like, and as advertised. We felt that there could have been more, and more comfortable indoor furniture (sofas, recliners, etc.) for a house that could possibly accommodate 8 people. The kitchen was clean and had everything we needed, but not spacious - again, homey. We were not dissatisfied at all, but also not "pleasantly surprised" as we have been at some other properties.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback about your recent stay at our property. We're thrilled to hear that you found the house to be nice and that it was available during your travel dates. It's always a pleasure to provide a welcoming and comfortable home away from home for our guests. We appreciate your honest remarks about the indoor furniture. We understand the importance of having ample and cozy seating options, especially when accommodating a larger group. We'll definitely take your comments into consideration when considering updates for the property. It's great to know that the kitchen was clean and equipped with everything you needed. We strive to provide our guests with all the essentials to make their stay convenient and enjoyable. While many rental properties have the most basic of kitchen equipment, this home is lived in by its owner during the winter and so has an abundant kitchen of serviceware and equipment. As for furnishing, if there is one thing we've learned over the years, everyone likes a different mattress firmness and everyone has their own preference for interior decorating! We do our very best to make sure a property is as honestly represented as possible so there are no surprises upon arrival. We do always look for ways to exceed expectations, so your feedback is always appreciated. We hope that you were able to create wonderful memories during your time at our property. Once again, thank you for your valuable feedback.

Mount Desert Family Get Away

This is really a charming place that says "Maine" all over it! At first I wasn't sure about the location as its about a 15 or 20 minute drive from Bar Harbor. But it turned out to be perfect as Bar Harbor turned out to be incredibly busy and congested with traffic. So this location was really peaceful and offered easy access to Acadia National Park. It also offered the opportunity to discover the west side of Somes sound. There is some really great hiking there and the nearby town of Southwest Harbor is absolutely charming. The house itself is well appointed and has everything needed for a comfortable stay. The communication with the manager was also fabulous as the day before our arrival a storm had knocked out power to the area. So we were well apprised of what was going on ahead of check out. I would certainly recommend this property to anyone visiting the area.

Perfect for our family

We stayed here as part of a family vacation with my husband, mother, sister, and aunt. My mother has an ankle injury so it was great to find a house with bedrooms and bathrooms on the main level, and easy entry through the front door. It was equipped with everything we needed, including some games and puzzles, and we especially appreciated having a washer & dryer. The property manager was very helpful and responsive. When we couldn’t find a tea kettle, she brought us one within half an hour The house is centrally located on the island so very easy to get to Acadia, Bar Harbor, Southwest Harbor, or off the island, but in a nice quiet area. We were glad we decided to stay here rather than in Bar Harbor. Only a few minor quibbles. Some of the bedroom & bathroom windows don’t have curtains or blinds, and there aren’t enough places to hang towels. There is only enough comfortable seating for 5 people in the living area, so it might be awkward for a larger group. Oh, and a few unwelcoming spiders when we first arrived, including one that built a web across the front door. Overall, the house worked well for us and we would definitely consider staying there again if we return to MDI.

What a gem of a place and of a property manager!

We were so lucky to come across Mountain Sea Properties and the property Beechwood. We were out of electricity (for days!) and Jen had Beechwood open for our use. We were able to move in, get warm, catch up on laundry, cook meals, and finally feel at home, even though it was a home away from home. What a respite! The house was super clean, beds made, and towels laid out! Everything was there you could ever need including local guide sheets/maps, dishes, games, and books. The location on the island is perfect- 15 min from the bustle of Bar Harbor and 10 min from the quaint South West Harbor. The House was super cozy, yet roomy enough for our family, and could have easily accommodated more. Jen was amazing to get us in on such a strange schedule and was so amenable, warm, and the perfect host- there when needed, but left us alone when we were doing our own thing. She even came by to check on the hot water heater right before bedtime when we had troubles getting hot showers (a minor problem because of the generator use). All was fixed in no time! I wish we could have been able to stay for longer, and extend the staycation to enjoy all of which Mountain Sea Properties has to offer, so many extras available like- guided hikes, grocery delivery, and full luxe packages! Jen is so organized and useful, a true gem of the island. We were thrilled to utilize Mountain Sea Properties and hope to take advantage of their incredible properties again in the future. We highly recommend them without hesitation!

Indeed Mount Desert Island experienced an unusual wind storm that left some without power for an extended period. We were more than happy to help out in any way that we could and were able to move this local family with young kids into the Beechwood home until their home was safe and comfortable to move back into. Our philosophy is that a business is not just a means to support one's own family, but it's an opportunity (I would go so far as to say, it's an obligation!) to be a positive change agent in the community and for it's customers. We take that obligation seriously giving financially back to the local community, helping to facilitate customers (and our own staff) to engage in local community service, and perhaps most importantly, helping support you, our guests and tenants, to have quality time with friends and family so that you can return home renewed and refreshed to help bring positive change back in your own home communities. I find it truly an honor to do this work and am grateful for the ability to do so. Perhaps we will be able to host you and your family at the Beechwood home sometime soon. - Jen

Marathoners

I rented this property for friends/family to enjoy during the MDI marathon and to explore beautiful Acadia National Park. The home had all the necessary amenities, a great location, and was spacious for a large group.

Nice location.

The location was perfect. We were just a few miles from everything. We enjoyed being out in the woods. The stars were amazing. The house itself was nice but we felt it could have been a little cleaner. We removed several cobwebs.

Family fun in Maine

The property was clean and exactly what we expected. Bedroom and bathroom set up was perfect for 4 adults and 1 baby. 2 of us traveled solo, so you could easily add spouses and still be comfortable. The location is excellent. Easy drive to hike in Acadia and sight see all over the island. Only 15 mins to Bar Harbor for shopping, and eating! I highly recommend this property.

À propos de l’hôte

About Mountain Sea Properties:

Adam and Jen have a deep love and understanding of the natural beauty surrounding the Acadia/Mount Desert Island area. Jen grew up summers on Long Pond and Adam on a 110-acre farm in Western Maine adjoining the Appalachian Trail. They met here in Bar Harbor working as sea kayak guides in the summer of 1993.

Over the years, they have hiked, biked, paddled, and sailed every conceivable route on and around Mount Desert. Adam completed his goal of hiking every trail on the Island in the summer of 1994 and Jen authored The Sea Kayaker's Guide to Mount Desert Island published by Down East Books in 1997. Together they paddled the Maine Island Trail, a 175-mile 28-day kayaking trip from Portland to Machias, up the entire Maine coastline.

In the summer of 2000, Jen and Adam started Mountain Sea Properties with a single house, Eagle Cliff, where they were married that same summer. The owner had approached them expressing her frustration renting the home through larger rental operations on the island. She complained that her house was one of hundreds represented so the service she received was minimal. She also stated that those who rented the house were not as well informed as they could be. The tenants were also one of hundreds and the service they received was minimal.

Adam and Jen offered to represent the house committing to providing top quality service to both owners and tenants by representing a limited number of houses and providing personalized vacation services.

Since then, Mountain Sea Properties has grown along with the Wales family. As year-round members of the Island’s community, Adam and Jen are dedicated to the vitality of the people of Mount Desert Island. Thus, each year they donate a portion of their proceeds to local organizations devoted to sustaining the beauty and well-being of the Mount Desert Island area.
