Elegant oceanfront home on Southwest Harbor minutes to trails and village center
Watch the video at the end of the photos that displays all aspects of this beautiful cottage and it's surroundings. This adorable sea side cottage located on the pebble beach of SW Harbor is literally over hanging the water at high tide. A second floor master king suite with private balcony, bath, wet bar and refrigerator has a magnificent view of the harbor and mountains of Acadia National Park. The second bedroom is a queen suite with private entrance to the first floor balcony. Just 2 miles to Seawall Beach of Acadia, an easy bike ride or walk for many. Some may not leave the cottage at all and just watch the boating activity from the large relaxing decks. If you do explore the island, you'll find many beautiful hikes, shops, restaurants, golf, museums, cinemas and more .

This is a truly stunning property. It is right on the water and you could not ask for better views. The property was very well maintained and clean. A perfect stay on the quiet side of the island.

Absolutely beautiful. We could have stayed the home all day and just looked out at the water. Very comfy for 4 adults or small family. Had everything you needed for cooking and all other home stuff. We will definitely stay here again.

Beatiful house right on the harbor. No other neighbors and right on the water. You also get to watch boats go in and out all day. Within driving distance of many great places.

Ideal for two couples or some sibs to get away. I'm particular and the kitchen is very nice and well supplied. As are the bedrooms, the bathrooms (excellent water pressure!), the whole place. Very comfortable and we'll be coming back!

What an amazing house! Perfect for two couples. Loved watching the working harbor and the dry dock in the morning with a cup of coffee. Highly recommend this house. Walking distance from Peter Trouts Tavern .

We had a great time at your house. The area is quiet and quaint. Our boys enjoyed waking up to the beautiful views off the deck. The only negative is that we couldn't find the kayaks to use and the downstairs bedroom was very hot.

Everyone really had a good time, had a plus that next door got to see the company take the large boats out of the water for the winter, very interesting.

Awesome place and location . The only downfall was the spiral staircase . My in laws were looking forward to the upstairs king bedroom but bc if the spiral staircase were not able to make it up . Also TV in upstairs did not work for our child with us .

The house was so clean and the kitchen was stocked with all the items to cook for the week. The views from all the rooms were amazing. The king was bed was so comfortable as it felt like sleeping on clouds. Speakers throughout the house were nice added touch as well. I would recommend this house to anyone!!!

The property was perfectly located, it was immaculate and the amenities were extensive. It had everything you could have wanted. We were there just before hurricane Lee and watching the Hinkley crews remove the boats from the water was entertaining. we look forward to staying there again. Dealings with our host were quick efficient and responsive. Thank you!

We had a wonderful stay in mid June 2024. The house is even more beautiful in person and everything we could need was included. Each evening we sat on the porch with a glass of wine and watched the sailboats. It doesn’t get better than that! The A/C system was difficult to use but that could likely be user error :) Overall, we would recommend to all our friends and family!

We love staying on the “ quiet side” of Acadia. We found this house on VRBO and it was perfect. The house is so nice and the deck overlooking the harbor was amazing. The has worked out great for two couples. Having one bedroom and bath downstairs and a huge living space upstairs with it’s own deck allowed us to enjoy a fantastic week while giving us plenty of personal space and privacy. The washer and dryer was an added bonus. We would definitely stay here again!

As soon as you walk in you are in love with this house. Can’t fault anything about it. We did have a wifi issue (boo Spectrum!) but convenient accommodation was made and the cellular service was great (we use Verizon). Definitely recommend.

This property redefines oceanfront. At high tide the water surrounds 3/4’s of the house. The house is beautiful and in a great location! The owners were very attentive and helpful. We loved it here. Only thing to note is that the property is next to a working boatyard. Work can start as early as 7:00 AM. For us it was really fascinating sitting on the deck and watching boats being lifted out of the water and put back in. Always something happening!

Very nice stay, clean, fun to be near harbor. As another reviewer wrote there is action early in am on dock so you will get waken up with boats being put out and such. The only thing that I had not looked at before booking was that checkout is at 9am! That was too early for us with kids but they were unable to change it to later. So if that’s an issue , especially if you have young kids , I would check with them before booking if they can give you a later checkout. Otherwise house is awesome.

We spent the Thanksgiving holiday at Seashore Cottage in Southwest Harbor and could not have been happier. Working with Stacy was a pleasure and the house was spotless when we arrived. Breathtaking views of the harbor and mountains and we really enjoyed watch the boats go buy. The house is finished beautifully - wonderful walk-in showers, modern appliances, well equipped kitchen, and comfortable beds and furniture. Flat screen tvs in living room and bedrooms - everything worked great. Location is excellent, just minutes from downtown Southwest Harbor. We will defiintely be back!
