Oceanfront Cottage - spectacular Views Minutes from Acadia National Park

ONE WEEK LEFT IN 2024 - Sept 28 to Oct 5
This comfortable, fully equipped, 3 bedroom, 2 bath, ocean front cottage has stunning views of Blue Hill bay. We are located in West Tremont, between Bass Harbor & Seal Cove, on the western side of Mt. Desert Island, minutes from Acadia National Park. Some of the best hiking is on this side of the island. Enjoy views from the large wrap around deck or sit on the rocks feet from the ocean to enjoy sunsets and listen to the loons. PETS ARE WELCOME - NON SMOKING

We are seven mi. from Southwest Harbor’s stores & restaurants, and Bar Harbor is only 20 miles away. There is a fully equipped kitchen, washer & dryer, and heaters in both bathrooms, downstairs bedrooms and the main area for cool coastal mornings. Sea breezes provide cooling on hot days, fans are provided. Upstairs bedroom with king bed, small private deck and bath with shower. Downstairs bedroom with queen bed, bedroom with two twin beds, bathroom with full shower and bathtub. Gas grill, Wifi, Cable TV, DVD, plenty of parking, and screened shed for storage of bikes.
There are houses along this shore, we do have neighbors on both sides, but the area retains a rural feel with woods and trails and much wildlife.
We are on the rocky Maine coast, you can sit and climb on the rocks at the water's edge but it is difficult to launch kayaks from the rocks. There are many launch sites (sea and lake) nearby as well as a rental directly on a nearby lake.
This is our family’s seasonal cottage which we welcome you to share. We live in the house for several months each year so it is set up as our home, not just as a rental, and is very comfortable. The view is amazing!

Note: Weekly rentals only. Saturday to Saturday.

Other Nearby Activities: Walking, hiking, biking, swimming, kayaking, boat rides, bird watching, star gazing, whale watches, nature cruises

Pets Welcome: We welcome your well behaved pets

Internet / Phone: Wifi, unlimited US & Canada phone service.

First trip to Maine

Beautiful and cozy stay in west tremont Maine. Such a cute little cabin on the ocean. Everything we could’ve asked for lodging wise for our first time visiting the east coast. Beautiful sunrise and sunset on the ocean, marine wildlife to observe. Accessibility to Acadia was easy and not a far drive at all, same with bar harbor for when we wanted to venture out and do some shopping or see the downtown. The house was clean and had so many amenities which were all useful during our stay. Ann was a wonderful and communicative host to work with, she was very attentive to us and had our vacation at the top of her priority list.

Perfect Maine Cottage!

This beautiful property made this our best trip to Acadia yet. Everyday, our children eagerly rushed to the small pebble beach to search for sea glass and other treasures. My husband and I enjoyed mugs of coffee each morning on the bench overlooking the ocean. And we ate dinner each night on the porch with a perfect view of the sunset over the water. The cottage was cozy but plenty spacious for a family of five. Every detail was thought of, including coloring supplies and story books for the children. We had an absolutely magical week and would love to stay here again!

Finding peace on the Quiet Side!

Everything is as stated on the property description. I love to cook and found the kitchen functional and important staples at hand: sugar, flour, spices (all not expired). We were also invited to pick the fresh lettuce, mint and chives that were in the garden, which was very convenient (and tasty). We did all the touristy things at Bar Harbor, went on a delightful 3 1/2 hr puffin boat tour, ate at some fabulous restaurants, visited some wonderful gardens, but the view and serenity is what we came for and this property was just perfect! Every morning I took my cup of hot tea out to the lone bench sitting on the edge of the ocean and was enveloped by the salty ocean breezes and delightful sounds. Ann is a delight to work with, very responsive, the property was clean and inviting and extremely easy to find. Loved our stay!!

This is THE BEST cozy hide-a-way!!!!

This house is a hidden gem, in a quiet area, surrounded by natures beauty!! It is away from the traffic, hustle and bustle, tucked back in a long driveway, sitting right on the harbor but close to small, artisian towns, close to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. We saw loons, eagles, deer, fox and watched the seals, right off the back deck!!! We have rented houses, on the beach, in Myrtle Beach and the Outer Banks but I would chose this home, over the beach houses, any day!!!! We are planning on returning here next year!! This place was just fantastic!!!! The owners are very friendly and keep you updated on everything!! Highly recommend!!!

About the host

Hosted by Ann Stuart

We inherited our family cottage in 2006. The family has spent many wonderful vacations here since 1969. Since retiring we live in the house for several months each year in the spring and fall and live nearby during the rental season.

Why they chose this property

The Maine oceanfront with it's stunning views. Great bird and wildlife watching. Acadia National Park has miles of trails and carriage paths for walking and hiking, miles for bicycling, paths by the ocean and through the woods, ocean and many lakes, great kayaking, swimming and canoeing. Any outdoor activity is available. We love the ocean and we love the outdoors. Mount Desert Island combines both and offers endless outdoor opportunities at any level and everywhere you look is beauty.

What makes this property unique

We think our view is one of the nicest on the island. We never tire of sitting on the deck watching the ocean, sitting on the benches by the water viewing the sunsets and wildlife and being on the rocks right by the ocean. Because we live in the house for several months each year is it set up as our home and is very comfortable. Pets are most welcome.
