About this property

Mount Desert Island Waterfront. Acadia National Park. Luxury Suite.

Located in the midst of Acadia National Park, on Mount Desert Island, this private, self-contained. waterfront suite is luxurious and caters to those who love wildlife, water, and tranquility. Located on Seal Cove, just steps from the beach, the view is spectacular and is considered "one of the best locations on MDI to watch the sun set."

Bring or rent a kayak to explore the outer islands and their conservation trails or spend the day in the park knowing you have a quiet, immaculate suite to return to - surrounded by hundreds of acres of virgin forest.

Seal Cove is four miles from the restaurants, shopping, and marina of Southwest Harbor, and fifteen miles from the bustling hub of Bar Harbor. Just two miles away are the hiking trails of Acadia's Western Mountains. Just beyond are Echo Lake and Long Pond (where you can rent kayaks and canoes).

Enjoy waking to bird song, seeing resident bald eagles, seal, wild turkey, and deer. If you are a writer, artist, or musician, a screened-in pergola in the woods offers a magical setting to create.

Step through double, sliding-glass doors into your own living room complete with sofa, chairs, a large, flat-screen television with Roku, and a separate food and beverage nook. This is an independent unit. Set up for the person or couple who prefer to start their morning with Nespresso coffee or tea and end their day with a glass of wine and cheese platter, the bar/coffee station with fridge is perfect.

A hallway that has doors to the shower and a separate powder room (with a view) leads to your king-sized bed in the master suite on Seal Cove. Open the screened doors and windows to smell the ocean and sea roses as you enjoy coffee in bed with a good book and/or someone you love.

Cozy Beach Cottage

My husband and I had a fabulous stay. We enjoyed being on the quiet side of the Island. The suit had everything we needed and was extremely comfortable. Jenny was an amazing host and made us feel very welcomed. I highly recommend her place.

30th Anniversary Trip

A wonderful property for an adult couple. Beautiful views, amazing location for easy access to outdoor activities. We kayaked, hiked, biked ans swam in less traveled venues within 10 minutes of this property. Jen was a wonderful host and a great resource regarding sights to see!

Vue de Vie

Staying on this property was a dream. Jennifer is an amazing host, and human as well! The property itself was bright, clean, and gave a very luxurious feel. Being able to wake up and walk down the driveway to watch the sunrise and sunsets was just incredible. Only about a half hour from bar harbor and Acadia was far enough from the tourist traps and crowds. I hope to return again!

Unforgettable Anniversary Accommodations

Words cannot express the amazing time we had in Maine while staying at Jennifer’s seaside estate! Her sense of style and attention to detail were seen throughout our quarters. Luxurious finishes and furnishings throughout made us feel comfy, cozy, and pampered. Her thoughtful and timely communication was key and much appreciated. She went above and beyond in welcoming us, ensuring our privacy, and making us feel valued. She genuinely cares about her guest's experience and we were thrilled to spend a little time getting to know her better. We are already talking about our return trip next year and definitely plan on staying with her again. Don’t hesitate to book this property. You won’t regret it!

A quiet stay on the quiet side

The unit was beautiful with lots of charm. The property is right next to the cove, where there is little traffic or tourists. If you are looking for an elegant place to stay and rejuvenate between long hikes are other outdoor activities this is the place to stay. Local restaurants and stores are around 15 mins drive away and Bar Harbour is 30.

Secluded Quiet hideaway

Jennifer's house is hidden behind the bushes which stand tall in front of the amazing water view. The area is super quiet and secluded if you're looking for a getaway from the house. The apartment like floor is 10x better than any hotel I've ever stayed at! Don't forget a screened in porch up top is included and you can watch the Sunday flicker across the water as it sets behing the mountain. Will likely stay again in the future!

Quiet Corner of Acadia

The property is the bottom floor of a house, with a living room, bedroom, and bath. Jennifer was very welcoming and helpful. The property is about 25 minutes from Bar Harbor, which was blessing because it avoids the crowds. But it is easy to get to some great hikes.

10 year Anniversary

This was just the perfect place for our 10 year anniversary. We could not have asked for a better hostess, Jennifer really helped to make this the comfortable, peaceful getaway we really needed! The sunsets are amazing, the beach and waves are literally steps away and the sounds of the birds and the water really help to take your stress away. The location is perfect. We highly recommend a stay here, you will not be disappointed. Thank you Jennifer!

Home away from home

We had the best experience staying in Jennifer's VRBO! Everything was impeccably clean. The bedding was comfortable and inviting after long days of hiking. This place had everything we needed to rest between our adventures. Jennifer made us feel at home and was a very kind and gracious host. It was wonderful making a new friend! And DO NOT miss out on the opportunity to gaze at the starry night skies right outside! AMAZING!

Absolutely quiet with a gorgeous view

This was out 1st trip to Maine and our 1st VRBO. Was a wonderful experience staying at Jennifer’s place. Her location was great for us! Staying along the waterfront with a quiet serene atmosphere. Her home was just as pictured, beautifully decorated, nice bed, and wonderful amenities for us. She recommended places to eat and see. She’s a wonderful hostess and accommodating to what she can do for you. Jennifer thanks for the warm welcoming and having us celebrating our upcoming anniversary you made it special. Tim and Cindy

A Slice of Paradise in Seal Cove

Our stay was absolutley perfect. The property is located in pristine Seal Cove on the quite side which is very tranquill and peacefull. The unit is immaculate and extremely well appointed. However, the best part of our stay was meeting our host Jennifer who is very kind and generous. Jennifer made us feel like a part of her extended Acadia family and being a Bar Harbor native s has intimate knowledge about everything Acadia. My Wife and I now feel we have a dear friend in Maine. Thanks for everything Jennifer.

Quintessential Maine experience

This is an extraordinary property. The house is just across the very quiet street from the ocean. The view from the screened porch is fabulous. What truly separates this property from others is the elegance of the care, design and elegance of the appointments and furniture. This is a truly 5 star accommodation. Location is superb 10 minutes from Southwest Harbor, and 30 minutes from Bar Harbor but this area of Mount Dessert well deserves its name as the "Quiet Side".

Cozy comfort in a lovely setting - inside and out!

Host and owner Jennifer met us in the driveway and gave us an orientation to the beautiful apartment in the ground level of her waterfront home. For those who want a quiet getaway near Acadia and Bar Harbor, this exquisitely decorated and comfortable place was our haven after busy days of hiking, shopping, whale watching, etc. We weren't trying to do our own meals, so the small fridge and microwave were all we needed. Jennifer is welcoming and engaging; she encouraged us to use the screened porch on the second level for the sunset and views of Seal Cove. A perfect week and place for our time on Mt Desert Island.

Truly a gift . . .

What a serene sanctuary in the heart of Acadia. We were pampered in every way - luxurious bedding, an espresso from the maker in our room, soft towels, an incredible shower, and such a sense of peace. At night, you could hear the waves of Seal Cove and sometimes hear the loons. Sunset is a gift. Jennifer makes you feel so at home and cared for. She has the soul of an artist (ask about her book!) which resonates throughout this "gift of place". A five- star experience, hands down. So grateful to have found this special place.

Divinity when we needed it the most

The property is beautiful inside and out. We received tragic news our first morning there, and our host Jennifer provided us a harbor. Her kindness and wisdom helped us through our stay. Of course, VRBO wants to know about the property. We especially appreciated all the quality touches. Fresh garden flowers throughout the unit. Tasteful and personal touches in the decor. The small appliances are high quality, and that really makes a difference. All in all, it is a remarkably peaceful and relaxing spot of divine peace. Absolutely the best VRBO rental we’ve ever been to.

Serenity and Warm Hospitality at Seal Cove

Believe the reviews! “Tranquility Base” could not be more aptly named. Want to experience the best sleep of your life surrounded by the beauty of Blue Hill Bay and just a mile away from Acadia? This is the place. Jennifer made sure every thoughtful detail in the unit was attended to and then some. Her pride of ownership means you will experience MDI as a well treated house guest rather than just another renter. if there is a more beautiful spot than the upstairs screen porch on the island I must have missed it. If you are looking to experience the “quiet side” of MDI, this is the place for solitude and an easy 15 minute drive across the park to get to SW Harbor. We didn’t mind the lack of a kitchen, between the fridge, the toaster and the nespresso machine we had plenty of room to have breakfast, make sandwiches for our Acadia adventures, etc. We have stressful jobs and really needed to unwind and unplug—Tranquility Base delivered on all counts and then some. Thank you.

MDI in the Spring

We truly enjoyed our stay on Mt Desert Island in Jennifer's suite. The space is clean, comfortable, accommodating to conveniences we are accustomed to. (coffee) The air is refreshing, the views during sunset are lovely. This space was perfect for two us, we took daytrips to various parts of the National Park and enjoyed Bar Harbor. It was more than a comfortable place to recharge during low tide before our late afternoon/evening plans. Sleep comes easily when you have been oxygenated and are in a comfortable bed. Make sure to get up in the middle of the night and check out the stars - you can almost touch them! We are very appreciative of Jennifer for allowing us to experience her awesome space and look forward to coming back. This was our first trip to Maine, but it will not be our last.
