New prices, summer getaway at Seashore Cottage, Great Views and cozy fireplace

Sea Shore Cottage is a charming 1920's style cottage with a large, sloping lawn right down to the ocean. This property is right in the heart of Acadia National Park, within minutes to such sites as Bass Harbor Head light, Echo Lake, Somes Sound, and Beech Cliffs.

This house has been recently renovated, it overlooks Southwest Harbor, Sutton Island, the Cranberry Islands, and Greening Island. This ideal spot is within walking distance of superb restaurants, specialty shops, a full service marina, galleries, and sea glass hunting. Coffee shops, an ice cream parlor, and children's playground are just a few things that are within a five minute walk. In just minutes you can drive to Echo Lake, Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse, and many other popular Acadia National Park destinations.

Don't want to drive? Load up on the free Island Explorer shuttle that stops directly across the street! During the summer stop by the farmers market or take a sunset sail on one of the many boats offering them. There are also many opportunities to take a ferry to one or more of the surrounding islands for hiking or biking.

This house is on a property shared with three houses. There's a shared fire pit with seating adjacent to the shore.

Very Enjoyable
We stayed at the house for three weeks and it worked very well. Our boys (5 & 8) enjoyed the firepit next to the water, the short walk to the shops, library, ice cream, etc. and close proximity to a working harbor.

Good location
The house was clean and well set up for a family of 5. The location fit exactly our needs, close enough to all the things we wanted to do but still quiet. The communication with the host was easy and prompt.

Charming home
Christie was an exceptional host and we very much enjoyed having this charming house as our base to a wonderful family vacation. The house was very clean and offered everything we needed for the week. We enjoyed making a camfire by the water many of the nights we were there. That was a treat that we miss by not camping...thumbs up.

Perfect MDI Family Trip
Our stay at Christie’s cottage was the perfect stage for having a wonderful family vacation with my wife and I, two parents, two young children, and the family dog! We could walk into quaint Southwest Harbor for a meal and shopping, or make the 20 minute drive to Bar Harbor and the Acadia Loop. The house itself too, with large deck, fire pit and access to the ocean offered plenty to do. We would highly recommend and will return!

Walking distance to restaurants and trails. 25 minutes to Bar Harbor. Well equipped. Very responsive owner. 3rd row from the water with views and beautiful sunrise.

We had a great stay - our visit was made very comfortable by our host Christie. Everything was as pictured and the house was well appointed. We were able to make family meals, play board games on a rainy day, and enjoyed time in the yard and with our neighbors for the week. There was also great bike storage as an added bonus! Highly recommend.

Southwest Harbor
Have visited Mt Dessert Isle many times (7-8?) and although we've explored Southwest Harbor, we've never stayed there until this past week. Definitely the quieter side of the Island. Christie's house was perfect and just what we were looking for. She communicates VERY well and her house was in a very convenient location. A very short walk to several restaurants in town and only about 15 minutes from the park entrance on Rt 233. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend both this side of the Island and Christie's house!!

Clean, but location is not what was expected.
The cottage was comfortable and clean, and close to everything that we could want to do, but I was surprised that there was no real view of the water (there were 2 newly built houses in front of the cottage that blocked the view of the water) which diminished the pleasure of sitting on the large deck (be careful of the loose/wobbly railing). The cottage also sits on a very busy road. Neither of these details were apparent from the description of the cottage.

Charming and nicely decorated inside
Charming home, nicely decorated. Nice view of SW Harbor. Close to grocery store, restaurants, Acadia. If you cannot walk up a flight of stairs, you may want to contact the host, though. Great location. We took a ride on a lobster boat, went to Bar Harbor, went to Cadillac mountain, and drove the park loop. We really enjoyed the island and its beauty.

The property is beautiful there wasn't anything we needed that wasn't provided to us. Christie was an amazing hostess. We took the ferry to Swans Island and go stuck on the island due to the dock breaking and I reached out to her, and she sent her nephew to come pick us up from Bass Harbor once we got back to the main island because we had to leave our rental on Swans Island! We were so grateful for her all her help. I highly recommend staying in the Cottage and on Southwest Harbor.

Southwest harbor at it’s best
Ideal location, helpful creative guidance to learning about activities for children by host. Beautifully decorated house. Ate every day out on the deck with a nice cross breeze. I hope to be able to rent this house again

We loved staying at this house and had a great vacation in Southwest Harbor. Christie is a wonderful host and provided us with everything we needed. We loved sitting around the fire pit and enjoying the evening right on Southwest Harbor. Thank you!!

Fabulous house!
My husband and I rented this house for a week to celebrate our 20th anniversary and could not have been happier! It was the perfect set up for us and the house was wonderful. It was very, very clean and really well maintained. The deck was perfect for morning coffee overlooking the marina and we used the fire pit two nights. It was everything that we wanted. Loved the location so that we could walk to the shops in town and great restaurants. Also very close to some great hikes! Our trip could not have been better and we plan to return and, if we’re lucky, rent this house again. Perfect setup for a family too!

off season quiet getaway
This house was perfect for two couples to enjoy some quiet time in Southwest Harbor during the shoulder season. The house was great and we enjoyed the deck and firepit overlooking the harbor. As it was the shoulder season, many of the area shops and restaurants were closed for the season. The local hiking was fabulous.

Great stay
Loved the quiet side location. My kids liked playing on the rocks and exploring. House is exactly like described. My only recommendation would be a few more lights, very dark inside and it’s hard to read( especially if your over 40:). We loved drinking our morning coffee on the huge deck. Thanks for allowing dogs, my dog loved it as well.
