Sullivan Cove - Ocean-front family gathering place near Acadia National Park & Bar Harbor

Large 7BR family home on the oceanfront, great for reunions and gatherings.

New for 2026 - a newly remodeled high end kitchen. Picture Soon!
Enjoy the best of the Maine coast by spending your vacation on the ocean! With loads of space and plenty of character, this legacy home is ready for your extended family to vacation together under one roof and enjoy a spectacular spot on the shore of Frenchman's Bay. About 7 miles north of the village of Bar Harbor and 5 from the Park Visitor Center in Hulls Cove, it's convenient to the attractions of Acadia National Park and Mt. Desert Island, while being extremely private.
Park-like grounds feature a story-book stone overlook on the expanse of the Bay, with steps down to the water for swimming and exploring.

The house has three continuous levels: on the lower floor, there is a bright king bedroom suite with a beautiful granite fireplace and eastern views of the water (great for sunrises), two small sitting rooms with daybeds, a full kitchen with laundry, and full bath. The lower floor opens onto a large brick patio and sprawling oceanfront lawn.

The main floor has a spacious living room with wonderful large granite fireplace, cathedral ceiling, built-in shelves with hundreds of books about Maine or by local authors, and comfortable furnishings; attached is the sun porch providing spectacular ocean views, and a 'card room' with windows all around, great for family game night. A huge family kitchen occupies much of the main floor, fully-equipped and featuring water views, cathedral ceiling, a large island, and outdoor deck with stairs down to the lower patio and lawn.

Four bedrooms of all sizes are on the main floor, including three with attached bathrooms (1 with claw-foot tub, 2 with showers); one is a large primary suite with king bed, sitting/desk area and wheelchair accessible full bath. The remaining three bedrooms on the main level include one with a queen bed, another with two twin beds, and a third with a single bed. There is an additional half bath and a laundry closet off the hallway. The main floor is wheelchair accessible from an entry near the parking area.

Upstairs are two large wood-paneled rooms with gabled ceilings, one with a queen bed and single w/trundle, the other a sitting room with window seats, TV and multiple sofas (no bathroom on this level).

Sullivan Cove has ceiling fans and portable fans and is well ventilated. There are pleasant cooling breezes blowing off the ocean in the evening. This property does not have air-conditioning currentlly.

You can bring as many as 12 family members and still have plenty of room --depending on the makeup of your party (# of adults and # and ages of kids), the owners permit up to 14 total guests ($100/ea for 13th & 14th guest over 1 year old).
