About this house rental
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.

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.

We had an amazing time at Sea Spray! Lovely campfires by the water with an amazing view. The house was lovely and pristine, and we enjoyed some delicious popovers from Sharon and Carol! Can’t recommend enough!
5.0
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!

This was a beautiful home and area to relax and unwind. The hosts were super helpful and considerate. Sitting by the fire, watching the water and birds, visiting Acadia, and good food; we had a perfect get away.

We spent a month in this home and it was simply wonderful. The home is updated and immaculate, the kitchen is well stocked, the view is beyond beautiful, and the owners were friendly, responsive, and extremely helpful. They greeted us with homemade popovers and Maine jam, and gave us recommendations for hikes we loved and restaurants that served delicious meals. We could not have been happier in this delightful place, and can’t wait to return. Thank you for everything, Sharon and Carol!

My husband and I spent a week at Seaspray for our 40th wedding anniversary and for his birthday. It could not have been more wonderful. The house is perfect and Carol and Sharon have thought of absolutely everything that one might need. It was the most serene and peaceful and quiet vacation we’ve ever had. we did not leave the house very often because it was so wonderful to be there, but there are lots of things to do if one chooses to take advantage of Acadia and Bar Harbor. We were perfectly content staying at the wonderful home, enjoying the view and the crisp air and watching the Harbor Seals and all the birds. Thank you Carol and Sharon for sharing your home.

The cottage was clean, well appointed, and the perfect place to relax after full days at Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor! The hosts communicated well, seemed to have accounted for everything, and were eager to help with any lingering need! 10/10… would recommend!

Our four day stay in Sea Spray Cottage was simply amazing! The bay view from almost every window is just the beginning. There's a wonderful deck overlooking the sound and a fire pit steps from the house. There's privacy and quiet. The cottage is charmingly decorated and the house is thoughtfully furnished with anything one might want or need. Hosts went above and beyond with home baked welcome treats and a s'more kit. It is an easy drive to the entrance to Acadia National Park. The cottage is also close to the Schoodic Peninsula part of the Park, which has a different feel and is worth a visit. We loved our first trip to Maine and our stay in this lovely cottage.

We started the tradition of taking our grandchildren on a 1 on 1 trip with us. We could not have picked a better spot. The property gave us constant views of Cadillac Mountain and, the Ocean tides, seals, lobster boats. We had nightly campfires. We were greeted by a handwritten note and freshly cooked popovers. Our hosts could not have been more kind. The home was beautiful and fully equipped. We could not more highly recommend. We used this as a base to visit Acadia National Park and the Schoodic peninsula. It was so nice being away from the busyness of the park and Bar Harbor each night. Expectations exceeded!
5.0
This little home is just as lovely as its view. Every detail was taken care of to make our stay perfect. You can truly just show up with your bags and know that everything else you might need is provided for you. The hosts are available for any questions. We could not have been happier with our stay and HIGHLY recommend this vacation rental.

Sea Spray was the perfect location with thoughtful surprises from the owners and a most beautiful view!
5.0
The home is immaculate, beautifully designed and decorated with love and care. The art pieces are both beautiful and fun. Everything you need inside is at your fingertips, including a great bed. The location is central so one can enjoy the many sights the Acadia area has to offer. The view of Cadillac Mountain is wonderful and the ocean, just steps from the house, offers a wide variety of wildlife--loons, seals, bald eagles, and much more. Quietly invigorating!
5.0
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.

We just returned from our 3rd, stay at the Sea Spray and already booked again for next winter! This house overlooks the ocean and has magnificent views of Cadillac Mountain. Carol & Sharon are amazing hosts and keep their property pristine and welcoming. Sea Spray has become our special place and we are so grateful . Michelle & Ed

We were blown away by the amazing view of Frenchman’s Bay from the waterfront home. The house was cozy and had anything you needed. The hospitality of the hosts was wonderful. They even left a thoughtful gift basket for us knowing we were celebrating our anniversary and a birthday. I highly recommend this Sea Spray. We couldn’t be more pleased.

This one is special! If it’s available and you are looking at “down east” Maine, you should reserve it now! The owners offer a welcoming line of communication from the start. The home is immaculate!! The house is truly stocked and ready to welcome its guest. It is just as advertised! This is one you will want to repeat!!! We enjoyed our stay here and a heartfelt thanks to Sharon and Carol!!

We could not have been more pleased with our stay!!! Perfect location for Arcadia National Park. Peaceful, Private house on the ocean. Our hosts thought of everything and gave great suggestions for hikes and adventures in the area. Thank you!

My wife and I spent 4 days at Sea Spray and had a great experience. The view of Frenchman’s bay from the house is spectacular. The house was perfect for the 2 of us and fully equipped with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We especially enjoyed evenings sitting around the fire pit, looking out on the bay. We are looking forward to coming back.

5-Stars is not enough for this incredible property. Impeccable attention to detail. Every room is perfect in every way. Sharon and Carol are the ultimate Hosts. They are there if you need them but give you your privacy.
My Husband and I were so pleased that we booked 9 days to come back in Spring. Every VRBO home could take lessons from these wonderful ladies that go out of their way make sure your stay is PERFECT in every way.
Can't wait to return to this Peaceful Haven.

Property was very clean and welcoming. The cottage and grounds are meticulously maintained. The water views are so relaxing and the location was perfect for exploring Acadia and the surrounding areas. Plenty of small fishing towns, hiking, walking trails, restaurants and gardens are nearby. The property manager was great at answering questions prior to booking and was always readily available if needed during our stay. We’ll definitely be returning to Sea Spray when visiting this area again.
5.0
Our trip was affected by Lee (the storm), and Sharon & Carol were very communicative and accommodating in helping us deal with it. We appreciated their flexibility a bunch. The home told us that they really put themselves in the mindset of being the guest and included so many thoughtful and helpful touches. Highly recommend.

We love staying at this property! We came in 2020 for our honeymoon and went back this year with our 1 year old. The view is breathtaking and it’s so close to lots of activities! The hosts are always more than accommodating- they make us feel like family!
We will continue to come back

We had a great time even though the weather didn't cooperate entirely:) The house was extremely clean and very comfortable. The views from the back deck are spectacular. We will most certainly rent this place again if we take another trip up to Bar Harbor. Sharon and Carol were amazing hosts, I can't say enough about their hospitality and attention to detail. You will not be disappointed in the private rental getaway!

We stayed at this property from August 20-27, 2023, and found everything to be perfect. Sharon and Carol are premier hosts and go out of their way to welcome you - fresh flowers on the kitchen table and a loaf of wild Maine blueberry coffee cake. The house is well appointed and the decor is perfect for the surroundings. Above all, the view is spectacular!
5.0
Sea Spray was an excellent place to stay. The hosts were absolutely perfect and provided everything you needed. But, if any need arises, all you have to do is contact them and they are quick to respond. The home was very clean and well furnished. The views are spectacular. My wife and I recommend this home to all that want a great place to relax and enjoy the surrounding area.

Our hosts were amazing.

My husband and I were able to spend three glorious weeks at Sea Spray. We spent hours gazing at Frenchman Bay - watching the tide come and go. There were PODS of dolphin swimming, there were seals circling fish and jumping out of the water! We watched two families of osprey fledging their young and had Eagles visiting on the trees on either side of the property... cormorants, loons, terns, gulls, herons, eiders and more. So very peaceful with wonder all about. We left refreshed and look forward to returning next year.
Oh, the house was absolutely awesome and comfortable, Sharon and Carol beyond accommodating... and the location is Flawless- between the Schoodic peninsula and Acadia. Perfect for all hiking and biking.
Book it Danno!

Everything about the house was new, tasteful and of first-class quality, like it had been decorated just for us. The furniture was comfortable as was the bed. All details were attended to and anything we forgot was already there. Plenty of dishes, glasses and towels including beach towels. Great outdoor furniture both on the porch and next to the fire pit. Down East is a special place and Sea Spray is a special house.

This cottage is everything and then some! If you are looking for serenity and tranquility… look no further. Sea Spray has it all! Beautifully appointed with an an amazingly well equipped, superb kitchen, stunning home decor, and views that can’t be beat! From the seals playing, the eagles hunting, and the fog rolling in and out, we were simply mesmerized by the beauty of it all! Thank you for what your paradise with us, the amazing coffee cake, the extra special birthday balloon, and your overall hospitality! We can’t wait to book another trip with you in the future!!

Everything about Sea Spray was perfect! Wonderful hosts who welcomed you into their cottage with all the touches of home. The homemade blueberry lemon coffee cake was absolutely delicious!
The cottage itself was immaculate and well-appointed. We had everything we needed. Very comfortable, accessible home with good lighting inside and outside. The cottage is in a very quiet, peaceful neighborhood. We spent most of our days hiking in Acadia NP (about 30-40 min drive) and spent our evenings relaxing in the cottage or by the bay. Plenty of good restaurants nearby also! We fell in love with Maine and Sea Spray. Many thanks to our hosts!

If you’re thinking about booking this amazing home, don’t think twice, book it! As soon as we pulled in we felt the magic of Sea Spray. When we entered the home we had a hand written note from Sharon and Carol and a homemade blueberry/lemon cake which was amazing!! There was also a basket with the makings for s’mores. The home was very clean, the beds are super comfy, the kitchen is very well equipped, and the guide book was very detailed and gave some great recommendations for restaurants and things to do and see in the area. The location on the bay was amazing - we sat on the deck having coffee, watching the seals, loons and seagulls, and just enjoying the peace and our family time. Sharon and Carol really gave this home a personal feel - it was refreshing and inspiring to see how they support the local vendors and artists in the area. We recognized so many pieces in the home after a day in Bar Harbor and we actually visited Gull Rock Pottery and purchased a few items, which is just down the road from Sea Spray. No matter what you’re in the area for - do not hesitate to book Sea Spray. Our family enjoyed every aspect of this home and to Sharon and Carol THANK YOU for allowing us to experience the magic and for your superior hospitality!

Our stay at Sea Spray was wonderful! It truly is one of the top VRBO rentals we have stayed in! :) The quality of the furnishings, attention to detail and how clean the home was exceeded our expectations! The mattresses were top quality and provided a wonderful night's sleep! The kitchen was well stocked with high quality items which was very much appreciated! The instruction booklet provided by the hosts was clear and concise and made for a pleasant stay without frustration in figuring out the TV, how to work the appliances, trash removal etc. They also had great suggestions for restaurants etc. The view was wonderful and the porch seating was new and clean. The communication with the owners was top notch from booking to after checking out. They are very professional, courteous and willing to go above and beyond what is needed or expected to make sure their guests are well taken care of. Ellsworth was a town not far from the home where we went to Walmart to purchase a few food items. We also enjoyed Pat's Pizza and Helen's Restaurant while in the area. Despite a couple of days of rain we made the most of our time and hiked, visited Bar Harbor and had the best ice cream at Jordan Pond Ice Cream and Fudge Shop! We also did a 2.5 hour kayak trip from Bar Harbor and took a day trip to Portland to see a Sea Dogs baseball game and visit the Portland Lighthouse as well as LL Bean in Freeport, Maine. Don't hesitate to book your stay at Sea Spray! You will not be disappointed!

We had a great stay at this house. The house was amazing with great views of the bay. The hosts provided a very easy checking / check out process and welcomed us with fresh flowers and a delicious Blueberry Lemon Pound Cake. It rained the entire time of our stay in early June, but it was a great deck to watch the rain on the bay. Would highly recommend.

From the moment we walked through the door we were amazed at how thoughtful and caring our host was we have never felt as cared for by people we've never even met. Sea Spray is so warm and inviting it was exactly as the pictures look. Everything was perfect. The guide book is full of great local information and recommendations. We are already trying to plan another visit to the area and are hoping that another stay at Sea Spray is in our future. We can't recommend this house or host enough, they are both amazing!

Truly one of the best VRBO vacation homes we've stayed in. Very comfortable and homey. Every detail from the decorations of the home to the quality of the furnishings was perfect. The best part was the location and the view. Sitting on the deck or by the fire relaxing, reading or staring at the night sky filled with stars made for a perfect vacation. The owners were very responsive and prompt with inquiries.

Sharon and Carol provided an unparalleled and absolutely magical stay in the Acadia region. The house is gorgeous and its location is so beautiful we were stunned on arrival because it felt like a dream. We woke up everyday with what seems to be the very best possible view of Cadillac mountain from both the living room and bedroom. We adored seeing harbor seals in the water right in front of the house, and of course, because Sharon and Carol have thought of every possible detail, we were to able to use the binoculars provided at the home to get an even closer look at these cute little creatures, along with others, including loons. The location is ideal. We visited Acadia everyday for hiking then returned to the house to relax on the beautiful porch, cook meals in the well equipped kitchen (lobster twice!), make a fire in the fire pit near the waters edge, and also grill. I was so impressed by all the little details they provided- it made the stay that much more comfortable and smooth. Everything is clean and spotless. The towels, sheets etc were high quality. Sharon and Carol were available promptly for our questions - where to hike, where to get live lobster. The art throughout the house is beautiful and Maine-themed, and is a wonderful touch to an already amazing home. I could go on and on about how much we loved this place. Simply put, there is a reason there is an unending supply of 5 star reviews. This place is really special. Would give it 10 stars if we could.
