Let Shellseekers Cottage be your home away from home for your Acadia getaway during the quiet time here on the island. From October through April, this home offers 2 bedrooms accommodating up to 5 guests, a fully equipped kitchen, dining room, and a large living room overlooking the ocean. The Queen bedroom has ocean and mountain views, and also has an attached full bathroom. The 2nd bedroom has a full-sized bed and a twin size bed.

There is no place on Earth like the solitude of the Maine coast. Come find your slice of serenity along the iconic rocky shoreline at Shellseekers Cottage. Privately located on its own stretch of beachfront in beautiful Mount Desert Island, and only minutes away from downtown village shops of Bar Harbor, this beach house offers an escape like no other. Take in that fresh ocean air from your secluded deck overlooking Frenchman's Bay and the granite summits of Schoodic Mountain in the distance. For beach lovers, take a stroll down the woodland path from your back door, and descend the staircase to explore the quiet rocky beach, home to sea caves and rock sculptures. The ocean has been the artist here.

"Shellseekers" gets its name from the bountiful treasures that flow in and out with the tides. Because this stretch of shoreline has no public access, the sand dollars, sea glass and shells are plentiful at low tide. This is an ecologically rich and unique coastline at your fingertips, offering solitude, seabirds, and the occasional sailboat. Kids and adults alike will enjoy the series of trails that wind down, from the ocean views through the mossy woods. An enchanted forest can be discovered, and added to from the treasures you find on the beach below.

Acadia National Park, which is MDI's crown jewel, is right at your fingertips. The park entrance is 2 miles from your front door. If you are an outdoor enthusiast and nature lover, you will enjoy the miles of coastal walks, mountain hikes, cross country skiing, all in close proximity.
