All the comforts of home in a beautiful setting. Perfect!

In rereading the other reviews I think every superlative that could have been used has been and deservedly so. Although we saw very little sun (not one sunrise or sunset) we loved every moment at Seacliff. The location right on the ocean listening to the waves was such a balm for too busy minds. We, also, made very good use of the great fireplace on those chilly nights and found everything we could possibly need in the kitchen to stay home and enjoy meals. We would have loved to eat outside but not to be this time. This was the first time we had stayed in this area and found it to be a perfect location to resupply the kitchen and travel north or south on Rt. 1 to the too many to mention walking choices along the coast. There are 3 conservancies with great trails that are described online: Maine Coast Heritage Trust, Downeast Coastal Conservancy And Cobscook Shores. We have been traveling to this area since the 80's and still never tire of the beauty of this coast and woods. Staying at Seacliff was such a perfect, really perfect, place to return to each evening but sadly, we had to leave.

We stayed for a week and it definitely was not enough time. Whether you just want to relax at the cottage or use it as a base camp to explore the area, you will have a wonderful time here. We went somewhere everyday and would come back to the cabin in the evening and relax with a fire, either on the deck by the beach or the beautiful fireplace inside. We went to Acadia and rented e-bikes one day. We visited St John and Campobello in Canada on different days. The rest of the days we spent exploring other cities along the coast and hiking. Mary was very easy to get ahold of and we never had any issues at the property. If you are like me and have always wanted to spend some time overlooking the ocean in Maine, I can’t recommend this place enough!!

Wow, what a fantastic home, right on the ocean. Cabin and grounds exactly as described. Fireplace is amazing, we are from Florida so we made good use of it! Just a relaxing week in some of the most beautiful parts of Maine. Explore the Bold Coast or relax with a book, choice is yours. Best week we have had a in a ling time, thank you so much for sharing your little slice of paradise with us.

We really enjoyed our stay. The location was so peaceful and beautiful. The cottage was comfortable, clean and well supplied. We hope to go back next year. Thank you Mary and Bill.

Seacliffe was beautiful! Thank you Mary and Bill for renting your lovely beach home to us. There was nothing that we needed that you did not provide. The cottage was spotless, the kitchen very well stocked, there were sheets and plenty of comfy towels, and plenty of firewood for our nightly bonfires. The view was spectacular and the ocean sounds lulled us to sleep at night. We thoroughly enjoyed our very own rock beach. We also walked a few times to the fresh Maine stand a mile away and brought back delicious baked goods. We day tripped to Lubec and stopped in Bar Harbor on the way home. It was a wonderful first time trip to Maine!

Setting is idyllic and sunrise unsurpassed. The house and furnishings are wonderfully complete so no need to go buy things you didn’t think to bring

We were looking for somewhere beautiful and quiet. We found it here. Perfect place to read, relax, and enjoy life. We enjoyed our twice daily visits from a seal—who we named Ralph. If you like remote, quiet, and beautiful, this is the place. Beautiful home.

My dog and I had a terrific week at Seacliff. The location is stunning and the cottage was one of the cleanest, best maintained and best stocked properties we’ve ever stayed at. Can’t wait to return.

The property was absolutely gorgeous. The views were spectacular and there was so much to do right on the property. We roasted hot dogs on the fire pit, warmed up the cottage a few nights with the fireplace, had morning coffee on the porch in the rocking chairs. We are a big “rocking” family, the rocks right in front of the property we some of the best in the area. Everyday we picked a different hike/ beach to go to. So much fun. Thank you Mary and Bill for the great stay!

Un endroit merveilleux pour relaxer avec une vue magnifique de l'océan. Bien situé pour visiter les lieux touristiques au sud comme au nord. Tout l'équipement fourni nous a assuré un séjour sans tracas. On recommande cet endroit fortement!!!

Fantastic home! However, I left 94 degree Orlando and arrived in Machiasport at 33 degree. Yowza. It’s still cold in May! The fireplace and tea kettle was put to immediate and non-stop use. lol. A wonderful and relaxing week.

A comfortable home, perfect space for our 4 adults, nice bathrooms, efficient kitchen, everything we needed was on hand. And total privacy. We appreciated the nice, new gas grill, the gas lobster pot set-up, the indoor fireplace (amazing), and the little fire pit on the deck overlooking the water. We used the Downeast Cabin too, which gave our grown son a little space of his own. Chose Seacliff because of the proximity to our other son who lives and works in Machias, and he could bring his dogs when he came to visit. They did fine there too! We did a little sightseeing, some walks around the area, a lot of hiking at state parks, and just relaxing on the property.

This was our second visit and it was the second of many to come. Ideal location and has everything we could want or need. Planning next year's trip already.

Our week at Seacliff is my family’s favorite week of the year. Mary is a wonderful host, and easy to communicate with. The house is lovely, clean, and easy to settle into. The area is simply magical!

We spent much of May 2021 at Seacliff. It has everything in abundance. Lot's of dry firewood! And really, everything you could possibly need including beautiful sunrises. Very much right on the water with a tremendous porch overlooking it. Have many wonderful photos but don't see any place in VIRBO to submit them.

We were welcomed into this Machaisport cottage the moment we entered Sea Cliff and began our week-long stay. Everything was set up as if to say, "Your comfort is our priority." Special attention to thoughtful hospitality was evident in every room. My husband and I as well as my parents had no problem filling 7 days with fun, hiking, sight seeing, rock collecting and most importantly - relaxing!! Bill and Mary gave quick responses to our questions and were so caring.

What a beautiful location and charming cottage! This is our family's second time staying here and we are just as pleased as we were 6 years ago. The location of the cottage is perfect, with its beautiful water views from back porch and deck. Morning coffee on the porch in the rocking chairs was a delight, with the sound of the waves on the rocks below. We love that there is a section of beach for rock skipping, hunting for snails and other critters, and just throwing rocks into the ocean (my youngest!). The cottage itself is clean and well furnished with towels, linens, and even extra sweatshirts in the closet for those who didn't bring enough warm clothes for Maine. The kitchen is loaded with pots and pans, bakeware, knives, etc., and even details like marshmallow roasting sticks and corn on the cob holders. There is a handy supply of dry firewood and we had a fire in the fireplace during the chilly evenings. We took some day trips to surrounding areas--45 minutes to Lubec and West Quoddy lighthouse, and 2 hours to Acadia National Park. However, just the serenity of the water, sky, and rocks from this little cottage was what drew us back a second time, and we were not disappointed! (Note: My mother was with us and stayed in the extra guesthouse on the property, and that is an adorable little living space as well. We were very happy to have a "together but separate" vacation experience.)
