About this cottage rental

Strong Wifi. Seclusion. Fabulous oceanfront setting. Nothing beats a seaside cottage for a change of scene in summer. Convenient to all Acadia has to offer, or just enjoy the sparkling view out your window across the very private cove out to green-blue islands and to open ocean beyond. There’s plenty to do inside, as well, with games, puzzles, books, and an oversized screened-in porch that maximizes that spectacular view in comfort. Idyllic.

We make cleanliness a priority. We’re committed to providing you a safe and enjoyable vacation experience. Cove’s Edge Seaside Cottage is cleaned and sanitized at every turnover to new industry standards so you can enjoy both comfort and peace of mind. Welcome!

Cove's Edge Seaside Cottage offers you an opportunity to sample all that Acadia National Park has to offer. You can enjoy lobster, chowder, dining out, boating, sailing, canoeing, kayaking, ocean and freshwater swimming, hiking, walking, bicycling, blueberry picking, birding, garden touring, shopping in quaint boutiques, and more -- or just get some quiet relaxation and reading time. You are surrounded by gorgeous ocean views that you can enjoy from nearly every room in the house. And you are steps away from your own private stretch of beach, where you can enjoy the view out to Maine's famous island-dotted shore, with the Nature Conservancy's Placentia Island in the distance, and Swan's Island just beyond. Every bedroom has an en suite bath. You are less than five minutes' drive from the Acadia National Park trails called Wonderland and Ship's Harbor, which bring you out to gorgeous rocky bluffs along the open ocean and Maine's famous rocky coast. A minute more and you're at Bass Harbor Head Light, the most photographed lighthouse on the U.S. East Coast. In five minutes you’re in Southwest Harbor with ample opportunities for shopping, dining, and boating; in two more minutes you’re hiking Acadia Mountain or swimming in Echo Lake; and in ten minutes you're in Bar Harbor, with its quaint shops, restaurants, whale watching, naturalist boating, sailing, deep-sea diving, Park tours, and many other opportunities.

Cove's Edge Seaside Cottage is a 3-bedroom, 3-bath house right on the water with your own access to a private stretch of pebbled shore, with expansive views of the cove, islands, and open ocean beyond. It has a game room and a relaxing patio in addition to living, kitchen, and dining rooms with high-end, custom finishes in this architect-designed home. It is well suited to accommodate multiple generations or a small group of friends, where you can both enjoy common rooms as well as preserve your privacy. Two separate guests may be staying in the tiny artist's studio in the back yard who do not share your amenities.

Few locations in the United States can compare to the beauty and diversity of Mt. Desert Island (MDI) and Acadia National Park. Acadia National Park and its famous gateway towns are treasured the world over as some of the most beautiful spots “where the mountains meet the sea.” Ocean, lakes, mountains, miles and miles of hiking trails, dedicated bicycling and walking trails, gorgeous countryside, and the towns of Tremont, Southwest Harbor, Northeast Harbor, and Bar Harbor provide unlimited opportunities for relaxation and recreation. Come for some much-needed rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation at Cove's Edge Seaside Cottage!

My husband and I have been enjoying MDI in September for years and we wanted to bring our adult sons! We love being on the quiet side although it does add to the driving time for some of the activities. This house has a great kitchen and the screened porch is wonderful! We loved the easy access to the rocky beach and enjoyed walking down there at low tide!

Serene home away from home. If you love Acadia but not the crowds, this is the perfect location. Joy and Peter are excellent hosts, and you'll want for nothing!

Our family loved staying in Duck Cove! The house provided ample space for our family to spread out and have their own space. The house was well stocked for travelers - Joy and Peter thought of most things a traveler would need. The house was clean, neat and well cared for. It was quiet and secluded which is nice after a spending time in the busy streets of Bar Harbor. We enjoyed the yard, beach/cove area, and grill (we grilled our “catch” after a day of fishing and other meals). It is close to Bass Harbor and Southwest Harbor which provides all the necessities (groceries, restaurants (Beal’s vs Thurston’s), and shopping. Thank you Joy and Peter for making sure our every need was addressed. Great stay!!! We would definitely stay here again!!

We really enjoyed our stay. The property was lovely and well maintained. Had everything we needed. Sunrises were beautiful. We travelled with another couple so the layout was perfect where we each had our own space and separate bathrooms. The location is in a quiet neighborhood only a short 20 minute ride to Bar Harbor where it was quite busy. Easy access to many hiking trails in Acadia. There are good choices for restaurants near by in Southwest Harbor, our fave was Hearth & Harbor. Overall a great stay. Will definitely be back!
