We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage was well equipped, comfortable, and had an excellent view. We appreciated the collection of books and board games, along with the fire pit for relaxing in the evenings.We enjoyed walks on the beach, collecting sea glass at Carter’s Beach, and the easy access to hikes in Acadia National Park. The location was convenient — close to Walmart for provisions and an easy drive to Bar Harbor for the lighthouse and puffin boat tour. Overall, an excellent location and stay.

Great Stay on the Bay

We had stayed in the area previously, and we really enjoyed finding and staying at Seashells. It was the perfect spot for our family of four to unwind and come back to after a day of exploring. The views to the bay are simply beautiful. We really enjoyed our stay!

We absolutely loved our stay at this cottage! The views were incredible—some of the most beautiful sunrises we’ve ever seen right from the property. The cottage was exactly as described in the VRBO listing and was exceptionally clean when we arrived.The kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed, making it easy to prepare meals during our stay. We especially enjoyed relaxing around the fire pit in the evenings, and it was such a fun surprise to find sea glass along the shoreline.The host was wonderful to work with, providing great communication before and during our stay. While the cottage is about a 30–40 minute drive from Bar Harbor, we found it to be an easy and scenic drive each day.If you’re looking for a peaceful waterfront getaway with amazing views, this is the place. We would absolutely stay here again! The sunrise , water views, and cozy evenings by the fire made this a memorable part of our Maine anniversary trip.

A quiet and relaxing getaway

We loved this property! The charming A-frame acted as a great home base for our activities in the area, and there were books and other things to do supplied for those rainy rainy days. It's not far to town, and a reasonable drive to Bangor and Bar Harbor. Located in a quiet neighborhood, we couldn't hear or see the neighbors, and the beach in the property made for good exploring at lower tides. Thank you!

Acadia Getaway

This home had it all! We loved the big picture windows looking out to the water! Our girls are 10 and loved going down to the water and skipping rocks or looking for sea glass during low tide. The home had everything we needed to cook some meals and sleep comfortably. The location was great also! 40-45 minutes to Acadia and Bar Harbor and gorgeous views along the way! We would definitely stay here again!

Very nice.

House was very nice, clean, and very comfortable. Hancock Point is beautiful. Frenchman's Bay was deafeningly quiet during the week except for the howl of a colony or two of seals during low tide on the rocks. Bean Island in the middle is a nice calm 10-15 minute paddle out in the morning. Would definitely do this again!

It was lovely staying here, it’s so nice to sit on the deck looking out at the water. Couldn’t find the second key, though we didn’t need it. It is not a quick trip to Acadia and we knew that going in. It was like staying at my parents place but that’s where the fifth star is missing, the property is a little dated. The kitchen was up dated with a nice convection stove though.

Didn’t want to leave!

This place was just want our family needed. House was exactly as advertised with a brand new fire pit. Bald eagles hang out in the trees, we saw seals, harbor porpoises, and maybe something a little bigger out in the water. My girls found plenty of seaglass, shells and crabs along the beach. Bar Harbor and plenty of places to eat about 40 minutes away. Remote, but beautiful place to be, especially on a clear night I’ve never seen so many stars! Owners responded quickly even though we had no major issues. I highly recommend this place!

A lovely summer spot

We loved our stay! The private beach just steps from the house was magical! I would go down and drink coffee in the morning, and my kids loved skipping rocks. Water shoes (not flip flops) are strongly recommended! We happened to visit during a heat wave, so the bracing water was indeed nature’s air conditioning. We also attended a concert at the Pierre Montreaux School, which was a delightful evening. Highly recommend this special experience, even if classical music is not your normal jam. We really enjoyed driving the Schoodic Loop and the Sculpture Trail. We visited Bar Harbor for a day because we had plans with others, but would not bother again, as the Schoodic Peninsula of Acadia has fewer crowds and equally breathtaking vistas.

Wonderful View, Short Drive to Acadia, nice house

We got delayed a day, so we had to call the manager to let her know, and figure out the door code. She immediately answered and got it sorted out! The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our own meals and enjoy the views instead of paying a restaurant for them. The bathrooms were clean, had all the towels we needed and the bed was cozy. We went searching for sea glass every night and never went away empty handed. We saw harbor seals, porpoises, and what we believed to be a whale all from our back deck. The neighborhood is quiet and calm and we enjoyed taking walks. YU takeout has the best deals for lobster rolls and Sailor and Hook had great souvenirs from Bar Harbor. We definitely recommend Sail Acadia for a fun adventure on a historic sailboat, and Country Store Antiques, Books and Wine was a fun to look for local treasures. 10/10 would recommend staying at this amazing waterfront house for a getaway!

We stayed at Seashells last year and enjoyed it so much that we decided to book it again this year. The location is great - we love being on the water, plus, it's halfway between both parts of Acadia National Park. It's clean and well-stocked with various things you may need during your trip. We had a situation come up our first morning and the host team quickly responded and helped out. Overall, it was a great experience!
