About this cottage rental
Sip your morning coffee on the spacious oceanfront deck while watching the sun rise over the mountains of Acadia and Blue Hill Bay. Listen to the sound of the waves and shorebirds as you watch lobstermen check their traps in the bay in front of the cottage. Explore the secluded, rocky beach and look for sea glass and shells. Enjoy an evening cocktail and watch the moon rise over the Blue Hill Bay Lighthouse. Count the stars in the Milky Way and bask in utter peace and contentment.
‘Sea Meadow’ is a charming, shingle-sided cottage perched 75 feet from the ocean’s edge on the western shore of Blue Hill Bay. It has spectacular open views of the Blue Hill Bay Lighthouse set against the backdrop of Mount Desert Island. The cottage sits on four acres of land and is surrounded by grass and wildflower meadows. A private staircase provides access to the deepwater shorefront and beach with granite boulders. It is only a one hour and 15 minutes drive to Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island.
The living room/dining area walls are covered in antique barn board panelling and stone with a beamed ceiling. The den includes an entertainment center that is stocked with board games, puzzles, Roku television, Blu-ray player and more than 80 DVDs. There is a large deck that faces the ocean with a dining table and plenty of seating. The master bedroom has a queen-sized bed. Two additional bedrooms each have a single twin bed.
Brooklin is located on the southeast tip of the Blue Hill Peninsula between Blue Hill Bay and Eggemoggin Reach. It is a beautiful, quiet village that boasts it is 'the boatbuilding capital of the world.' Author E.B. White and his wife Katharine made it their home. Brooklin is the home of many fine boat builders, lobster fishermen, and the headquarters of WoodenBoat Magazine. People come from around the world to attend boat building or sailing classes at the WoodenBoat School. Brooklin is, quite simply, a very special place.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sea Meadow cottage. The cottage itself was beautiful and well appointed. The furniture was comfortable and everything was very clean. The location is gorgeous being right on the bay with amazing views and within an hour of Acadia National Park. We enjoyed exploring the park, Bar Harbor, Bangor, and other smaller towns nearby. Mary Louise was responsive when we had questions. Couldn't recommend more highly and would love to come back to stay again!

Peaceful perfection
We can’t recommend Sea Meadow Cottage highly enough. Its location is utterly stunning, with astonishing sea and mountain views - you could stay in all day watching the light change and the seals playing in the water and listening to the birds. It’s so incredibly peaceful and beautiful, and the cottage itself is generously and comfortably equipped and furnished. But the wider area is wonderful too, with much to explore and discover - from Acadia National Park to the little towns of Blue Hill and Brooklin, and coastal walks and sea swimming. All round, a magical place....

Spectacular view
We had a wonderful stay. The view was spectacular and the house had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and fun. Plus Mary Loise was very helpful and gave us a ton of information to help us navigate the area. We couldn't have ask for more. Thank you!

Slice of Heaven
My husband and I chose Sea Meadow for our 25th wedding anniversary getaway. We couldn’t have been more pleased! This is the quintessential Maine cottage of your dreams. The beautiful views of Mt. Desert Island are simply breathtaking. The cottage is beautifully appointed with every comfort, including a perfectly stocked kitchen. Sea Meadow is also a good jumping-off point for visiting Acadia National Park and charming local towns. The property is very private and quiet. And having your own private beach on which to hunt for rocks and shells is a big bonus! We are already looking forward to our next visit to Maine and this lovely cottage.

What a View !!!
My husband and I stayed at Sea Meadow the second week of Sept. What a wonderful time of year to visit the
the Maine coast....warm days and cooler nights. It was so peaceful and relaxing sitting on the deck enjoying the
view or walking the shoreline at low tide. We explored the surrounding area and ate fantastic seafood. The
cottage was perfect...very clean...and supplied with all the comforts of home. We hope to return next year.

Perfect Maine Cottage... really!
My husband and I stayed at Sea Meadow and were very happy with everything! You are right on the water and the 180 degree views of the bay, lighthouse and Cadillac Mountain are incredible. The cottage was beautiful, clean and very well cared for. We had wonderful meals at a few of the local restaurants. It is very convenient to the Wooden Boat School and a great place to stay if you are thinking of taking courses there. We will definitely be back next year!

I stayed at Sea Meadow with my husband and daughters (6 & 8), and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The cottage is perfect with great attention to detail, and the views of the water are stunning. We loved exploring the beach just steps from the porch and the girls loved collecting treasures (shells and rocks). The decor is lovely and the cottage is very comfortable. We explored Brooklin and the neighboring towns and cannot wait to return. Mary Louise was a pleasure to deal with, provided helpful information about the area, and even called to check on us. We would definitely recommend Sea Meadow to anyone looking in this area for the perfect cottage.

We've been vacationing on Penobscot Bay for many years and doubted anything could surpass its beauty until we pulled down the driveway to “Sea Meadow.” Truly, a breath-taking moment! The cottage, inside and out, was also spectacular. The attention to detail and the design of the cottage could not be more perfect. All of the previous reviews are completely accurate without any exaggeration. If you are looking for a great place to relax and enjoy Down East Maine, this is the place.

Impeccable Cottage
My husband and our two daughters (ages 3 and 5) stayed here for a week in the end of June. We wanted a quiet comfortable spot to relax and explore the Maine Coast and found exactly that. The owners' decor and attention to details for its guests - of all ages - is impeccable.
Our daughters spent every morning looking for sea glass on the beach, just steps away from the cottage. We enjoyed beautiful sunrises on the deck and relaxing and reading on the cozy furniture in the evening.
Brooklin, Maine is a great location for exploring the many Down East towns, it was easy to get to Bar Harbor/Acadia, Deer Isle and Blue Hill from our central location.
We felt incredibly at home and comfortable in the house and look forward to returning in future years.

We loved "Sea Meadow Cottage" it was perfect for us with it's spectacular views and classic Maine cottage feel we felt right at home. It is equipped with everything you could possibly need to make your stay an enjoyable one. We highly recommend this property and plan on returning next year.

Highly Recommend!
My husband and I stayed at Sea Meadow for a week this summer when he took a course at the Wooden Boat School. While he was pretty much gone from sun up to sun down, Sea Meadow was the perfect spot for me. Private, yet not isolated, I felt very comfortable there on my own and hope to return one day. Besides Blue Hill there are other lovely towns nearby to explore while you're in the area.
Everything the other renters have said about the property is true without exaggeration. The view is gorgeous! Attention to detail is tastefully given to the decor and amenities. Yes ,even the bunk beds are comfortable. I never had any problems with internet service, and there is a land line available so you're well connected in addition to your cell phones.
Mary Louise is a wonderful hostess and sincerely wants you to enjoy your stay. Like the other viewer said, it definitely is easy to recommend Sea Meadow.

A most beautiful cottage!
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Sea Meadow this August. The cottage is immaculate, beautifully appointed, and very comfortable. Mary Louise has anticipated every imaginable need, from comfortable beds and furniture, to a wonderfully equipped kitchen, to entertainment possibilities, to ways of enjoying the stunning vistas, to thoughtful suggestions of activities in the area. The setting on Blue Hill Bay is very peaceful and extraordinarily beautiful. We especially loved eating/sitting on the deck and observing the play of light on the water, walking the beach, looking at the night sky, and, perhaps most amazing of all, experiencing the sunrises. The Blue Hill Peninsula area is a special place to visit, and to be able to stay in such a lovely home is a gift. We hope very much to return.

Our Perfect Get Away!
My wife and I stayed for a week and quite simply, everything was perfect! My wife grew up on the ocean and missed smelling the salt air and listening to the waves and sea birds. Sea Meadow provided that an much more. It was a private and relaxing stay. Everything we could have wanted was provided and the cottage is in perfect condition. We had the opportunity to relax when we wanted to, but there are also many things to do and see in the area. All of the local residents are extremely welcoming and we made many friends during our stay! We look forward to returning one day!

Charming seaside cottage!
My husband and I stayed at "Seameadow" in June of 2015 and we cannot say enough good things about this lovely vacation rental. It is tastefully decorated, comfortable, spacious and stocked with anything you might need for the week. This was our first time in Maine so we made our way over to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, both of which are just an hour from Brooklin. We also enjoyed several days just relaxing at the house. We have already recommended this home to our friends and family. If you decide to make this your vacation destination (and I highly recommend that you do!), do not miss the opportunity to star gaze.

Amazing Views, Stunning Home
We had a great week here with our two teenage children. What a spectacular view to see every morning! The house is well stocked with all you need to make your stay here comfortable and enjoyable. We watched movies, played games, walked the beach, and explored all the surrounding towns. My daughter and I baked cookies in the VERY well-stocked kitchen. Mary Louise is an excellent hostess with lots of information for surrounding sights and eats. THANK YOU!!!

Lovely home in a spectacular and convenient setting
Sea Meadow is a lovely and immaculately kept home, in a spectacular setting on the edge of Blue Hill Bay. The first morning of our stay, a school of Harbour porpoises swam through, close to shore, and throughout our stay, birdlife was abundant. The call of a loon at dusk is an experience not to be missed in this lifetime. Sea Meadow cottage is in a very private location, but only minutes away from the Wooden Boat School in nearby Brooklin, and puts all of the eastern arm of Penobscot Bay within easy reach. It is the nicest vacation rental we have ever stayed in, and we look forward to returning!

Perfect getaway, great vacation!
My husband and I had a perfect week with two of our adult children at Sea Meadow Cottage. The cottage was immaculate but cozy, and we felt at home at once. Inside we played cards, watched movies, and had some wonderful meals, all cooked in the pristine, fully-equipped kitchen. Outside we enjoyed playing Frisbee on the lawn and having snacks on the deck while soaking in the amazing view. We took walks on the beach and did a lot of kayaking directly from the cottage. We already have a framed picture that we took from the deck of the sun rising over Bernard Mountain. We cannot imagine a more perfect place to spend a vacation.
Our only regret about Sea Meadow Cottage involves next year. Three day after returning home we tried to reserve any week in the same month in which we rented this year but found that the cottage was already fully booked for all dates within our possible 8-week window!

Relax in Maine
My family had a wonderful time staying at the beautiful Sea Meadow Cottage. My boys had fun exploring the tidepools and beachcombing for shells and seaglass... while we took in the view of the Maine coast. We enjoyed hiking up to the church, playing Maine Monopoly, and going for icecream at the Brooklin General Store. It was a peaceful and relaxing vacation. The cottage was very comfortable and clean. It was a great place to come back to after exploring the small towns of Maine and Acadia NP. The cottage was equipped with everything that a family needs to feel at home. The beds were VERY comfortable. We will definitely be back. Thank you for your hospitality Mary Louise.
