About this property

Morningside a Private Secluded Rustic Seaside Cottage In The Village Of Corea

This is a rustic 2 bedroom/1 bath seaside cottage in the village of Corea it is a very remote setting where you can rest, relax, and rejuvenate a great place to escape from reality. Sit and relax on the shore in front of the cottage and watch the lobster boats hauling their traps or take a walk along the beach searching for shells and sea glass. The evening sky is great for star gazing or build a fire and toast some marshmallows. Our cottage is conveniently located only 6 miles from Winter Harbor where the entrance to the Schoodic section of Acadia National Park is, as well as the ferry service that goes to and from Bar Harbor. A true Coastal Maine experience

Spectacular location!

The Highlight of our New England visit! This beach cottage was perfect! We are from California, and wanted a Maine coast experience. The view is just spectacular…. Sunrise out the bedroom and front windows, passing lobster boats, lots of birds. Just right for nature lovers like us. Small fishing village, lovely to look at harbor. It is a drive to get to Acadia main park and Bar Harbor, but we loved being away from the crowds! Took a small ferry from Winter Harbor to Bar Harbor one day, the ride was awesome and people so kind and informative. Would love to return some day!

Morningside is Great!

This was an exceptionally clean cottage, and was furnished with basic necessities, to include laundry detergent, firewood, and equipment to cook lobster. The owner was easy to reach and we communicated by text message. The beach is secluded, and during a one week stay, we only saw one couple walk through our portion of the beach. We typically would hit the beach early in the morning and in the evenings and look for sea glass and other treasures that might have washed up on the beach. In the evening I would sit by the campfire and watch the ocean and the stars. I got to see a seal swimming near the cottage. The cottage location is perfect for those that want to avoid the more heavily crowded areas. We explored the coastline from Schoodic Pennisula and Winter Harbor, up to Lubec, and saw Jasper Beach, and stopped in Machias. We look forward to staying at this cottage in the future.

Beautiful Acadia Cottage

This is a special and gorgeous spot. A quiet corner of the Acadia area all to yourself. Close to unique and charming places to eat, explore, and discover. The surroundings are pristine. The cottage is perfect for a small family. A small beach right in front of the house provides the perfect natural playground. We want to go back! Thank you so much.

Morningside cottage in July

This was a wonderful weeklong rental experience for us. The cottage was situated in a quiet, lovely wooded area with a full view of and access to the ocean along with a grassy area perfect for kids to play outside. The owners clearly take very good care of everything. The cottage was clean, fully stocked and aesthetically pleasing. We had everything we needed for a fun, comfortable vacation exploring the coast of Maine!

Everything you need and nothing you don't

The pictures don't do the place justice. It's about the perfect quiet little cabin retreat! A great section of beach right out the front door, and a cozy space inside with all the important ammeneties you need for a short or long stay. We fell asleep to the sounds of the waves lapping just feet away from our bed. Didn't hurt the weather was about perfect. We're already talking about when we would want to return.

The perfect way to experience coastal Maine

Our family had the most amazing time at Morningside. From the second we drove up to this adorable beach cottage we were in love! The cottage is rustic, but comfortable and well-appointed with everything we needed for our stay. Our daughters loved being able to just walk a few steps to the beach and we loved getting to sit and relax and watch them. I spent many mornings watching the (very early) gorgeous sunrise and the lobster boats drive by. Melissa and Dan were incredible hosts and we also went on the lobster boat tour run by their awesome family and it was one of our favorite experiences on our trip. We cannot wait to come back again! We miss Maine and this area so much already!

Great Taste of Coastal Maine

Morningside Cottage was the perfect home base for our first visit to Maine. Our 5 and 7 year olds loved playing on the beach out back and the firepit. The cottage was immaculate and very well-stocked. We would definitely return!

Perfect little cottage on the coast.

This was such a gem off the beaten path. Be sure to catch an amazing sunrise. If you are lucky you can see the deer that come to visit. The night sky is truly amazing. The cottage is comfy and well maintained. Melissa was extremely helpful. You wont go wrong with this property.

Perfect!

Wow! This little cottage is exactly like it is shown in the posting. It is furnished with everything you could possibly need in the kitchen and throughout. It was so peaceful to sit on the deck with morning coffee and watch the sunrise. I was sitting out there one afternoon, looked up, and a little baby deer was peeking at me through the deck railing. :) The owner, Melissa, was always available if I needed her and she replies promptly. The area is quiet. It was a short drive to Acadia on the Schoodic Peninsula, and only a few minutes to a little cafe called "Lunch on the Wharf". This was the best part of our New England road trip!

Perfect cottage getaway

The cottage was better than anticipated- the photos don’t do it justice. It was in an excellent, quiet location and we had everything we needed for a comfortable few day stay exploring Acadia and the surrounding area and checking out the fall leaves. It was great to have ocean access to search for shells during low tide. Would stay here again!

Amazing Morningside!

We had an incredible stay at Morningside! We were fortunate enough to meet the owners, Dan & Melissa, on our first day there and they were fantastic! The cottage is everything they say it is; the view is spectacular (can't beat being right on the water!) it's clean, neat, organized, and came with all the "extras" we needed. They even provided sample soap and shampoo from a local shop called Prospect Harbor Soap Co. We loved the samples so much, we shopped there and took home some of our own goodies :) (thank you for providing these!). They also provided campfire wood, which we utilized a few days during our stay. The area is quiet and semi-secluded, which was exactly what we were looking for. We also enjoyed being able to travel a short distance to different harbors. There is also a company, less than 1 minute from the cottage, where you can go and purchase lobster, crab, etc. right off the boat...we did this twice during our stay and it was affordable and very delicious! Overall, we really enjoyed our time here...it was the perfect place to stay for our first visit to Maine! Highly recommend! We hope to come back again someday. Thank you!!

Wonderful!

We absolutely love this place! You should have heard us when we walked in after dark. Everyone was delighted! We were a little concerned about booking a rustic cabin because our family has mold allergies, but we had absolutely no problems. It smelled great and we all felt so good while we were there. Wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you for such a wonderful cabin to stay in on the coast of Maine.

A True Maine Experience

Nice older cottage right on the water! Our kids loved the beach as well as the natural land bridge just a small walk away! Plenty of space outdoors to explore and the fire pit was great every night listening to the ocean. Try and book a tour with their own lobster boat tours. You literally catch your dinner. Dan does a great job and you will learn so much. Only 5 minutes from the cottage.

Dreamy coastal cottage getaway

We enjoyed our stay at Morningside. The sunrises were amazing and it’s the perfect little beach cottage. We had everything we needed and enjoyed being so close to Schoodic Point. It’s an easy drive to Bar Harbor/Acadia National Park. We timed it really well this time with the leaves changing color! The owners had the fireplace going for our arrival and it stayed on the entire stay (on a timer). It was our 3rd trip to the area and we almost didn’t make it due to being Floridians and Hurricane Ian’s timing. Melissa and Dan were very gracious and patient with us while we were finalizing our plans and debating on whether or not we could make the trip. The Pickled Wrinkle is our favorite little place to eat close by! We hope to return!

Seaside paradise

Morningside was an ideal coastal Maine experience. The kids had a blast on the seashore tide pooling. Following the coastline, you can walk into town for lobster rolls and lunch on the wharf. The distance to Mount Desert Island and Bar Harbor is right around 45 Minutes, which is perfect to get "away" from the tourists that descend the island. The house was nicely stocked with kitchen essentials (spices, aluminum foil, etc.) Melissa was quick to respond to any and all questions. They even provided the cruise ship schedule so we could plan our visit to Bar Harbor to avoid the thousands of ship cruisers. We had the coastal Maine vacation we had been dreaming about!

The quiet side of Acadia cottage

This cottage put a smile on our faces each time we pulled into the driveway. The property, right on the water, was secluded with fire pit, plenty of seating and private rock beach that was visited every day by seagulls and a family of deer. The interior, while rustic, was comfortable and large enough to let our family of four spread out when needed. There were plenty of plates, pots/pans, utensils, spices and cleaning supplies. There was even a sampling of local soaps/shampoos that led us to visit the shop to purchase more for home. Fears of not having air conditioning in August were put to rest as the nice breeze from being on the water kept the interior cool. The location of this cottage was perfect for visiting the quieter Schoodic side of Acadia National Park but was about an hour drive from MDI and Bar Harbor. That was fine for us, so we could avoid the crowds and hike/explore in peace. One good thing to know is that everything in this area closes early so plan ahead to make sure you have everything needed for dinner/snacks. If we ever visit Maine again, we would stay at the cottage again.
