Sunnymead is a fantastic cottage in the quietside of the island and was a perfect location for 6 adults who love to hike! We used the fireplace when it was drizzly and cool out and enjoyed the living room which held all 6 of us comfortably. We ate a few breakfasts at Vacationland and our favorite dinner was at Harbor Table in SW Harbor. The house's location is perfect and we loved the quiet (and the turkeys and deer wandering through the yard)! The showers have great water pressure and the kitchen had everything we needed for a fabulous lobster dinner. We can't wait to return!

Maine escape

This cottage was a great charming escape for our trip to Mt Desert island. There was a lovely welcome gift on arrival, plenty of space, and it was an easy walk to the beach. Also a picnic table at the beach for lunches. It’s located not far from Acadia trails and down the road from restaurants and town.

Fun historic house

Although not fancy, this was a fun place to stay. The location was wonderful and within about a 30 min drive of Bar Harbor. Deer were often sighted in the yard including one taking a nap under a huge tree while it was raining. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was fully stocked. I believe I even saw a fondue pot in the dining room cabinet. If you desire Ritz Carlton, this isn't the place for you. If you want a place that is relaxing and has charm it is!

Peaceful, Charming Bliss

We booked Sunnymead for a family trip, and oh my, what a perfect property! Plenty of room, nice room layout. Stocked with anything you could need to enjoy the perfect, relaxing Maine retreat. Kids loved the front yard swing, and watching the deer in the yard. The property is on the quiet side of the island, with plenty to do, but limited crowds. Property owner is responsive and pleasant, and even left a lovely local bakery welcome treat for our family! We spent most our trip debating if we could stay forever. Highly recommend, would book again!

The house is charming! The proximity to the water on the private path was an added benefit! The children loved the swing out front and we enjoyed sitting outside watching the deer stroll by. Very peaceful!The bathrooms were a bit rustic, and unfortunately the shower downstairs was not working, but the owner was very responsive to us letting her know about the issue and sent someone over immediately to fix it. She is accessible and cares about her property being perfect for her guests!Lovely property!!!

We spent a week at this cottage with positives and negatives. The house has a rustic charm that fits perfectly with its wooded Maine setting. Built in the 1930s, it features exposed beams, wall studs, a large stone fireplace, and decor that creates an authentic New England cottage feel. The large yard and five-minute walk to the ocean were highlights. The home comfortably accommodated our group of eight, with spacious bedrooms, ample seating areas, and a well-stocked kitchen.Prospective renters should understand that this is an older home and it shows its age in places. Access to the primary suite requires walking through another bedroom. While the house was generally clean, we noticed a few areas with mold and some musty curtains. The mattresses were worn and tended to sag toward the middle. The bed advertised as a king is actually two twin mattresses pushed together, creating a noticeable ridge down the center.We also experienced slow Wi-Fi, inconsistent electrical outlets, and limited hot water in the older section of the house. To the host's credit, they attempted to arrange a plumber during our stay but were unable to get one there in time.Overall, we enjoyed our week and appreciated the home's character and location. Guests looking for a rustic cottage experience may find it a good fit, while those seeking modern comforts should be aware of the home's age-related limitations.

Expansive Seawall Cottage

In a last minute attempt to escape Hurricane Ian, my family of eight—myself, adult children, significant others, ninety plus year old parents—switched our vacation to Bar Harbor, a favorite. We found the tastefully and creatively decorated rustic cottage of Sunnymead in Seawall. We were greeted with a delicious blueberry pie from a nearby bakery and our hosted responded promptly to house issues throughout the week. The home reminded me of my parents—beautiful with years of history and physical aging. The location on the southern part of the island provided us with new hiking trails, scenery, shops, and eateries. Our favorite dining spot was Dry Dock. Even though the water was not visible, on a short meandering walk you arrive at a beautiful beach and view. We were thankful to find a place to accommodate our large group during the busy fall season

Last minute plan change turned out wonderful

We planned to go to Ireland but due to COVID-19 decided to stay state side. We weren't disappointed. House fit our large group of adult couples very well. Short walk to the water. Kitchen had everything we needed. Beds we're comfortable.

Charming Maine House

House is very large, great for a group. We were a family of ten and fit comfortably. The kitchen had all the necessities. Adorable quaint town to grab food and shop a bit. When you want the hustle and bustle it’s a short drive to Bar Harbor. The host was really nice and very responsive. This home is large yet cozy, very rustic. Acadia is a beautiful vacation spot!

Absolutely loved the cottage. The location, layout and furnishings were ideal. The walk to the beach down a dirt road and through the woods was magical to the grandchildren. A beautiful memory of summers in Maine.

Our family loved Sunnymead. It has charm and character, and is well laid out. The privacy and the proximity to a private beach area were a bonus. My family had a wonderful time, created many memories, and look forward to returning to this special cottage.

The Perfect Maine Cottage

We like "the quiet side" of Mt. Desert Island, and found a perfect Maine cottage right off the road to Seawall, with a short walk to the water, to spend a week enjoying the island. The cottage is spacious and decorated just the way a Maine cottage should be, and the kitchen is sufficiently outfitted for family dinners. The owner was very easy to work with and responded quickly to any question that arose. We would definitely rent again!

Lovely home with tons of character, space and warmth.

Absolutely lovely home! Tons of dishes, linens, and space. Wonderful yard and friendly neighbors. Jennifer was easy to work with, great directions and helpful ideas of things to do. The beds were comfortable as was all the furniture. My only problem was the weather, it was hot the week we went, but no worries, a great experience in all.

Beautiful location, poor management of business

My family and I checked in to this cottage and the first thing we noticed is it had not been fully laundered. Floors were filthy, the refrigerator as well. The beds had not been made. As if this wasn't disappointing enough after a 2 day drive, we found the toilets and showers had not been cleaned as well. I won't go into full detail of what we found there. So my family and I spent the first few hours after a long trip cleaning the house. We tried to salvage the initial let down, and enjoyed the next few days, as it is in a beautiful location. On day 3 (I believe) we had a strong storm come through, knocking out the internet. Considering we have teens in our family, this was a big deal. We tried everything we knew how to do as far as re-setting the wireless routers and such. Finally, my wife decided to call the owner (we had tried to not complain up until this point) to ask for help. We were told to contact the internet provider...so we had no choice but to handle it ourselves. After an hour on the phone with them, we had it back up and running. My wife had mentioned to the owner the problems we had with the place being dirty. She graciously apologized and as a token of her good will, she sent over 7 lobsters for us to cook. A nice gesture....until we tried using the lobster pot only to discover it had a hole in it. After the trip was over, I noticed that our deposit check that we had sent 6 months prior had never been deposited. We contacted the owner, who at that point said she had a copy of the deposit and the check and we should check with our bank again. We did, and no record of the check had ever been deposited. So, we contacted her again, and were simply told thanks for bringing it to her attention and please mail another check. Our bank is 1/2 hour away and we were required to cancel the check and sign the form in person. Grudgingly, we obliged and mailed out another check. A very frustrating experience indeed. We felt like we had to do a lot of work throughout the stay that paying guests should not have to. I personally am educated and 25 years employed in the hospitality industry, and this was not handled properly at all. She is fortunate we are patient and honest people. We were disheartened with our experience here, which is especially unfortunate considering we were celebrating our parent's 50th wedding anniversary. She did say that she would rectify the housekeeping problem for the future. For the next family's sake, I certainly hope so.

As the owner of Sunnymead and the hostess for these guests, I was most upset and embarrassed when I learned that this year's cleaning staff who had replaced my long time housekeeper, did such an unacceptabe and poor job for these guests; on hearing of the condition of the house on their arrival, I apologized profusely and offered to rectify what I could. The guests were most kind and understanding and said it was not necessary. In addition to the welcoming gift I had left for them, I did send over a number of lobsters and a new lobster pot to them as a small apology It was the least I could do. The cleaning staff was replaced immediately, and their replacement has done a magnificent job this season. We have received only compliments which is the way it should be. The guests' deposit check somehow got lost in the mail or within the bank's systems; it has never turned up, and I expresed to them that I was most grateful to them for letting me know it had not been negotiated.The internet did go out on the island due to a storm during their stay; after contacting the provider, I was told by them that it would be more produtive if the guests, who were on site, could call them directly so that they could walk and talk them through what needed to be done, to rectify the problem. Sunnymead has provided 25 years of happy visits and created hundreds of equally happy memories for many guests and for my own family.I am so sorry that their stay was anything less than what it should have been..

Vacation of a lifetime

Our family enjoyed this vacation more than we could have possible imagined. We arrived after dark so waking up at Sunnymead and discovering all the special things about the house and grounds was like Christmas morning! The three bedrooms in the main house were perfect for our son and his children, who are super-early risers. The rest of us (4 adults) were more than cozy and comfortable in our lovely rooms; the house provides so much space for an active family. It was the perfect home-base for all of our park activities (hiking, biking, climbing, etc) as well. Jennifer's delightful touches - the gazebo set for dinner, fresh flowers around and a personal note - made us feel like special guests. We read "Fudge-a-mania" by Judy Blume while there and especially enjoyed identifying the settings Blume referenced in the book. We visited Charlotte's Lobster Pound twice - it was so much fun and DELICIOUS! We appreciated being able to prepare and eat our meals at "home" when we were not out at one of the fabulous eateries. (Beals for lobster, Grumpy's for breakfast) We picked up fresh blueberry pies, fresh crabmeat and more. Heaven! We loved walking to the beach and exploring tidal pools. Truly, we could not have chosen a more perfectly "Maine" cottage and will remember this trip forever.

Perfect family vacation spot!

Our family use to camp on Mt. Desert Island years ago. We decided it was time to return but with real beds instead of tents and sleeping bags. Sunnymead is so charming and has such character. With adult children, we needed a house for everyone to have their own space. Our family of eight fit nicely here. The house is older and more like a real Maine cottage. It is well maintained and very clean. There are plenty of towels and bathrooms for everyone! The bedrooms are good size and the beds comfortable. We loved all the windows to open for the magnificent Maine breezes. The house is well supplied with dishes, glassware, pots and pans. The grounds are very nice with a good sized yard for children, surrounded by tall, lush trees. Our grandson LOVED the swing! We enjoyed dinner in the gazebo as well has taking our lobster dinner to the private shore area that is a brief walk from the house. Just remember flashlights if you stay til dark to stargaze. There are several picnic tables at the shore. Our grandson loved the history of the house as it relates to the book Fudgmania, and had fun looking for all the items mentioned. The house has one TV but you are in Maine and on vacation so I encourage you to not think about that! There is Internet available. The owner is so helpful. We had a minor issue in the first day and she was easy to contact and it was handled immediately. The house is not far from Southwest Harbor and is just off the road so it is very quiet and peaceful. Check out Cookies and More just up the street, or Little Notch Bakery for breakfast pastry in town. I hope it doesn't take me another 15 years to return!!

The Best Decision

"Maine, the Way Life Should Be" certainly described our holiday at charming Sunnymead. It was an ideal match for our family's quest for the quintessential Maine cottage expereince. So well appointed and so cozy. Spacious grounds. Our family's favorite?-- our private right of way to the ocean's edge. Some days we stayed to read books, have a picnic and watch the boats and some days we enjoyed the golf and fabulous hiking. All in all--a perfect spot. Highly recommended.
