About this property

Mint Renovated 6-Bedroom 1920 Gem In The Heart Of Acadia

Do you want to live right in the heart of Acadia in a historic Maine “summer cottage” but still have the modern conveniences of ensuite bathrooms, Subzero appliances, separate water closets, his and her showers and designer decorating? Look no further than Passage West. Pristinely renovated with mint appliances and plumbing, including Waterworks bathrooms and featuring luxurious Matouk linens and robes throughout, Passage West is the perfect summer getaway for those who appreciate nature and love the outdoors but want to have the epitome of modern luxury for their summer vacation.

Unique in Seal Harbor, Passage West is a truly special place, ideal for those who appreciate historic homes, authentic to its 1920 design while updated with all the conveniences of the 21st century.

Situated on prestigious Ox Hill in Seal Harbor, and only 0.3 miles from Seal Harbor Beach, and less than a mile from the entrance to Acadia National Park, the home is perfect for biking, hiking, and kayaking on the ocean. Rental homes are hard to come by in this exclusive neighborhood as most summer residents stay and return year after year. This shingle style 1922 home has been completely restored and renovated, sparing no expense to maintain the prewar charm while updating the home with every modern comfort and convenience. The home faces south over the Eastern Way to Sutton and the Cranberry Isles, and west over the mouth of charming Seal Harbor with its library, yacht club, and harbor teeming with picturesque sailboats. There are spectacular water views from almost every room.

The home features a living room, dining room, family room, eat in kitchen, pantry, 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, and multiple porches. Decorated by interior design firm Davis Designs (www.davisdesigns.com), the home has been featured in interior publications. Live in complete comfort while being a stone’s throw from acclaimed Acadia National Park.

Ride to the carriage trails from your front door or access every hiking trail within a 5 minute drive. The only sandy beach open to the public on Mount Dessert Island is within viewing distance from your front porch. Or just relax in the sunny screened in sun porch or any one of the multiple open-air porches and decks and breathe in the fresh ocean air and gorgeous uninterrupted views over the ocean.

** Note: The house has 6 bedrooms but we do not allow more than 5 adults to share the home. There are two primary bedrooms with gorgeous primary bathrooms, so the house is perfect for two families looking to share a vacation home. The other bedrooms are twin beds or full size beds and we do not allow those beds to be pushed together. We do not allow "share" houses or girls weekends or bachelor/bachelorette weekends.

Family Fall Getaway

This property is truly exceptional. Our family loved the thoughtful details, the stunning location, and the incredible views. During our 3-night stay, we walked to the beach and biked into Acadia National Park. We made the most of family meals, relaxed on the outdoor decks, and appreciated the peaceful setting. One night, the power went out in the area, and the home's generator seamlessly kicked in, which really impressed us! This home was the highlight of our family vacation, and we are already dreaming of returning soon.

Beautiful property

This home is amazing! The kitchen is well stocked with all the kitchen necessities and the coffee/beverage areas were well equipped. Each bedroom has its bathroom. No need for air-conditioning even in August! Back balcony was extremely comfortable with the lounge set and the breeze.

Quintessential Maine Home

The Home in Seal Harbor was the perfect destination for our family to explore Mount Desert Island. We were located near an entrance to Acadia National Park in a beautiful neighborhood. The newly renovated 1920s home was beautiful with all the amenities one could ask for. We loved it and hope to come back soon.

A Magical Weekend

This beautiful home was our family gathering place for my daughter's wedding in Acadia National Park. It was so wonderful to spend time with everyone in this meticulously renovated home. We cooked together in the chef's kitchen. We had family dinners in the dining room, lunch on the porch. On the lazy days, we read in the library/sunroom. The bedrooms were beautifully designed and incredibly comfortable! Spending time together in your home made the wedding weekend very magical. Thank you!

Stunning!

This property is stunning! Absolutely every detail is thought of to make your stay effortless. The quintessential coastal decor is fabulous. We spent most of our stay on the back porch enjoying the view of the harbor and gorgeous Maine weather. This was the loveliest VRBO we have ever stayed at and will definitely be back!

Beautiful house and area

My husband and I stayed at this house with 2 other couples for a week. We loved the area, and the house is beautifully redone and decorated. It is provisioned well-- we made several dinners at home, and it had everything you might need. The view from the deck was lovely and so peaceful!

A Special Maine Experience

A beautiful home tucked away in Seal Harbor, ME. You are close to the "hustle and bustle" of Bar Harbor, and Acadia National Park is a short drive or walk, but the neighborhood is quiet and secluded. It’s a hidden gem. The home is comfortable and thoughtfully decorated. It has personality and is unique. My family had plenty of room to stretch out find their own spot to relax. The porches were a nice bonus. We highly recommend staying in this special home.

Amazing stay steps from Acadia!

Passage west was an amazing time for me and my family - a quick walk from the beach or spots to get coffee, incredibly easy access to Acadia, and perfectly located near multiple towns on the island to access anything you could need for a relaxing vacation. It was great to wake up and enjoy coffee on the many decks and porches, cook dinners in the beautiful chef's kitchen, or relax in a clawfoot tub after a day in the park. As a design lover, the house provided so much beauty and inspiration in a serene setting - cannot wait to return!

My family has been coming to Mount Desert Island since I was a baby, and my children are third generation in Seal Harbor. Passage West is very special to me as it is the house I grew up coming to when I was a child. Acadia National Park is a very special place and we look forward to sharing it with you!
