About this house rental

Come visit Acadia and stay at our fabulous oceanfront retreat. We are located in Tremont, 5 minutes from Southwest Harbor on Mount Desert Island, home of Acadia National Park. Enjoy Acadia while avoiding the crowds in Bar Harbor! The "quiet side" of MDI has some of Acadia's best hiking, biking, paddling and swimming. Southwest Harbor is a lively little town with some of the islands finest restaurants, galleries and shops as well as a true working waterfront where you can enjoy lobster cruises, sunset sails or take a ferry to one of the neighboring islands. The western areas of Acadia National Park (Echo Lake Beech, Long Pond and dozens of the best hikes and beach trails) are just 10 minutes away and Bar Harbor and the park loop road are 25 minutes drive. Or if you just want a peaceful retreat, you can work remotely with a sparkling view out your window. Explore the shore on a leisurely stroll. Kayak in the peaceful cove, or paddle further out to the open ocean on an adventurous whim. Then return to your private hideaway. There’s plenty to do inside, as well, with ping pong, games, puzzles, and a lovely screened-in porch that maximizes that spectacular view in comfort. Idyllic.



Acadia Sunset Seaside Cottage Rental is a 3-bedroom, 3-bath house with private access directly to the shore. With en suite bathrooms and separate dining, living, reading, and game rooms, the cottage is well suited to accommodate multiple generations of family or a small group of friends, while still preserving your privacy.

The Master Bedroom on the first floor, with king bed, is furnished in iron and sturdy 19th century New England oak, with a handmade quilt and adjacent full bath.

Upstairs, the Blue Room is a bit more playful with its two twin painted cottage beds, wave and buoy décor, and a private bath.

While all three bedrooms boast a view of the ocean or mountain or both, the Waterfall Room upstairs features the same stunning view shared by the living and dining rooms, looking out to the mouth of the cove across Blue Hill Bay to Swan’s Island and beyond. A queen bed and his-and-hers dressers complement the private bath to complete your comfortable stay.

There is a fourth sleeping option (Double Sofa Bed) in the family room off the game room.

Add to that a fully equipped kitchen, private steps to your own stretch of shore, a porch with cedar glider and additional seating, a gas barbecue grille, CD/Radio/TV/DVD player, a good collection of short stories, a ping-pong table in the game room downstairs, board games, puzzles, and cards for a rainy day or cozy night – and you’ve got everything you need for your vacation, special occasion, getaway, or holiday in beautiful Maine!

We had a great visit to Maine, and our VRBO selection was great. It was private enough for us but close enough to the national park and surrounding towns that we didn’t feel isolated. The property was wonderful. It was very clean, well supplied, and the view was beautiful. I would definitely stay again and would recommend to friends and family.

We loved this cottage on the quiet side of MDI near Acadia national park. Far enough away from Bar Harbor etc to feel peaceful, but close enough to everything to not feel like we spent our whole trip in the car. The backyard space was amazing with beautiful sunsets, the game room downstairs was great for our 4 kids, the kitchen was pretty well stocked and each bedroom having its own bathroom was a nice touch. Owner was easily accessible by text. Would stay again for sure.

We really enjoyed staying at this house. There are stairs down to a rocky shell-filled shoreline which was fun to explore at low tide. It is a drive to Bar harbor and some of the more popular spots of Acadia but we didn’t mind the beautiful trips over (about 20-30 min). There is a lot of yard where my kids played football, saw deer and just enjoyed. The ping pong and game area were also a plus! The house is clean but I would love to see the wall to wall carpeting removed upstairs. There was sometimes a mildew smell because the windows are open since there is no AC. There are a few small repairs that need to be tended to but I think the owners are hoping to do those in the off season in order not to interrupt rentals.

My husband, myself, and my friends stayed here for a few days and had the best time. It is so quiet there and is just like the pictures portray it to be. The sunset view is awesome and being right on the water was perfect. It was a bit stuffy at night but having the fans in all of the bedrooms helped.

Quiet and peaceful. The house was great, with indoor and outdoor places to relax. (And we didn't even use the game room!) The downside of being in such a quiet area is that it's a bit of a drive to the sights and food. Of course that's also an advantage--we were away from the busy parts of the island. I'd stay here again.

Everything was fantastic all the way around. The place was absolutely beautiful and very clean (the sunsets are truly phenomenal)! It was a perfect hub to our adventures in Acadia National Park. The blend of mountainous terrain, water, trees, etc. creates a wonderful landscape. Also, the communication from the property manager was great. Our family enjoyed the hikes, lobster, ocean, etc. in Maine and we highly recommend this place!

The VRBO was as listed--not fancy, but functional with 3 BR and 3 Baths, and clean. It allowed our group to sit around the table or LR and enjoy each other. Our group also enjoyed sitting on the patio and looking over the cove and walking down to the beach. The property seems to slightly neglected: 1) the light or light bulb over the island was out 2) there is not enough light in the upper BR, which has one small lamp; 3) Some windows lack screens--and without AC, you need to open windows, 4) one upstairs window does not work and may be broken 5) the curtains on the upstairs windows do not cover the window, etc.
