About this property

Sea Spray - Modern Oceanfront Cottage with Views of Cadillac Mountain & Acadia

Imagine scanning the internet for your perfect vacation home - on the waterfront, quaint but modern, small enough to manage but ample room to relax and enjoy the quiet. THIS IS SEA SPRAY.

Two bedrooms with one full and one half bath. Within feet of Frenchmen's Bay, a glorious view of Bar Harbor and Cadillac Mountain - the crown jewel of Acadia National Park.

This property is conveniently located in Hancock, between Bar Harbor (Mount Desert Island) and the Acadia National Park Schoodic Peninsula allowing for easy access to the hustle and bustle of everything Bar Harbor has to offer but offering the quiet, "off the beaten path" break that you have been looking for.

Fully equipped with all the modern conveniences yet packaged in the traditional Downeast Maine Cedar Shake, this home is positioned well off the road for the ultimate intimate get-away. Enjoy the full kitchen or take a short drive to local lobster pounds to enjoy the sweetest lobster you have ever eaten. Ample off road parking for two cars. Complete private use of the house and property with the exception of the on site detached garage. Perfect for two but easily accommodates up to three guests.

Low tide encourages walks along the water’s edge and many guests enjoy the treasure hunt for sea glass or the rare lobster buoy! This area inspires some of the most talented artists. Sea Spray boasts an eclectic sampling of these local artists.

Enjoy the flat screen TV, cable, wireless internet, Apple TV or bring your own DVD's in case you are planning to stay home. Perhaps you are looking for a long needed rest - enjoy the King Size Sleep Number bed in the Master bedroom or the new Queen bed in the guest room. Most days offer a wonderful breeze off the water but Sea Spray has air conditioning for that occasional hot and humid day. New full size Washer and Dryer are included.

Take a seat on the deck, relax on the Adirondack chairs by the water, or enjoy a nice fire in the firepit under the stars. Whichever you choose, enjoy your favorite drink as you breathe in the sea air.

Local attractions offer ample hiking, biking, kayaking, mountain climbing and more. Your hostesses are eager to share recommendations for special hikes or other local attractions.

Sharon and Carol are your hostesses. They vacationed in Maine in 2015 and fell in love with the rugged coast and the unspoiled natural beauty that still exists in this area. They loved it so much they made it their full time home and live year round in close proximity to Sea Spray. Living in the area allows them to provide the best personal guest experience instead of the all too common distant owner who has placed their rental in the hands of a management company. They strive to maintain guest privacy while being totally available when needed.

Great cottage and location

We had a wonderful time staying at Sea Spray! The cottage is impeccably maintained and spotlessly clean. The location is spectacular and a perfect spot from which to visit Acadia. On top of that, the hosts are most gracious! Would definitely stay again.

Beyond Perfect

There aren’t enough good words to describe this house: amazing, beautiful, stunning, perfection, spotless… and more. It started walking in and finding a basket of freshly made popovers, a jar of Maine blueberry jam, and a card with our names on it with a handwritten note from the host welcoming us.There is a 12-14 page binder with everything about the house such as how to operate appliances, the weekly generator test time, local grocery stores, restaurants, and any other detail you could think of.I’m former military; the dishes, pots, pans, Tupperware containers, closets and everything else is perfectly aligned as if the inspector general is coming in. Not one speck of dirt was to be found anywhere. The interior decorum is as if HGTV recorded a show there. Not a mark on the walls and the color coordination is great. The balcony has an amazing view of Cadillac mountain across the water. The sky was so dark and clear one night that the Milky Way galaxy looked like cotton balls in the sky.The host was amazing in providing extensive details about hiking in Acadia National Park as well as promptly answering my numerous questions prior to our visit.I’ve been in all 50 states and about 20 countries and due to decades of work travel (plus personal travel) I’ve stayed in hotels or VRBO type places over 2,500 nights. My wife and I have stayed in some nice places, some of them REALLY great places to stay. This house is clearly on our short list of “the best of the best.”

Beautiful home away from home

This property is absolutely beautiful and the hosts are very amiable. We had most breakfasts in the well supplied kitchen after watching the sun rise from our bed and searched for sea glass on the little beach off the back porch. We didnt have a chance to use the fire pit but it was well equipped. Would definately recommend.

Amazing views and super clean!

By far, our favorite VRBO to date. Spotless home with epic views enhanced by a firepit we used nightly. Away from the hustle of Bar Harbor but close enough to hike the elic trails of Acadia.

Tranquil and Beautiful

If there is a more peaceful place to vacation and get away from it all, we have not found it. However, it is a short distance to anything you wish to do in Bar Harbor, Acadia or Schoodic. The cottage was immaculate and had everything we needed to feel at home, including freshly baked popovers, butter and jam upon arrival -- what a treat! We can't wait to return.

Sea Spray was amazing!

We had a fantastic stay at Sea Spray! Sharon and Carol were wonderful hosts, ensuring that every aspect of our visit was perfect. The house was impeccably clean and beautifully decorated, making it a true home away from home. Located on Frenchman’s Bay, the views were absolutely stunning. We spent countless hours enjoying the scenery from the deck, and the sunsets were breathtaking. The location was ideal, a perfect distance from Bar Harbor and Ellsworth for eating and shopping. Sharon and Carol were incredibly responsive and provided great recommendations for dining and activities. I can’t recommend Sea Spray highly enough—this is a perfect getaway for anyone looking to relax and soak in the beauty of Maine. We can’t wait to return!

A Perfect Getaway

We had the most wonderful time staying at Sea Spray. The cottage was perfectly clean, and Sharon and Carol were excellent hosts! It’s the perfect location between all points of Acadia- although we could’ve stayed on the porch looking out at that view all day! Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a perfect Maine getaway.

Absolutely Positively Wonderful

This was our fifth trip to Maine and the most wonderful VRBO we have ever stayed in! The view was spectacular, the house was immaculate, thoughtfully furnished with charming decor and a well-stocked kitchen. The location is ideal. We shot off in multiple directions: to Quoddy, Tinder Hearth in Brooksville, Jordan Pond, Thuya Garden (be sure to go through the Curtis house), Deer Isle and Bar Harbor. We were also in excellent proximity to fresh lobster. Morning coffee on the porch overlooking the bay was beautiful, peaceful and refreshing. Our hosts were wonderful as well. We will be savoring the memories of our stay at Sea Spray for days and years to come.

We use VRBO often in our travels and this is by far the best home we have stayed in. The house itself is beautiful and the views are a rare find. Sitting on the deck and watching the water and the birds was very relaxing and the sunset views from the fire pit are stunning. The house had all of the amenities we could think of and the hosts are so thoughtful and welcoming. I’m still dreaming of their home made popovers. Like the title says… just book this house!
