About this property

The Sea Captain’s House is an excellent choice for multi family or large groups. Conveniently located in Southwest Harbor and just minutes to Acadia National Park. Easy, quick annd walkable into the village of Southwest Harbor.

The fully stocked kitchen with dinnerware for 14 has all stainless steel appliances; large refrigerator, 5-stove top gas burners, convection and regular ovens, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, crock pot and stainless food prep table. Seating for 5 at the kitchen bar allows you to enjoy your company, while leaving enough space to move around the kitchen to prepare meals and cook. Bluetooth stereo system and cocktail station included. Just off the kitchen is a half bath and enclosed washer and dryer for guests to use.

The main house living room has heartwarming hardwood flooring with couch seating for 12. Double patios doors overlooking the back yard lead outside to the deck and BBQ area. Shelves are stocked with games, cards, puzzles, and a 65" smart Roku TV for movie nights or rainy days.

All three bedrooms in the main house are located upstairs and each one has extra blankets and pillows. The master bedroom is complete with a king size bed, ceiling fan, 65” Roku TV, and a balcony overlooking the mountains, Norwood cove, and most mornings a magnificent sunrise over the Atlantic ocean. The master bath has a corner shower, a deep claw foot bathtub and a granite vanity with plenty of storage under the single sink.

Outside on the back deck is a picnic table and patio seating for 14, the back deck is the perfect place to soak up the sun, entertaining friends at sunset or stay out late to watch the stars. The quaint and covered front porch is a great place for morning coffee while observing small town life on Mount Desert Island.

Accessible from the back deck and above the garage is the two bedroom, full bath and kitchen suite. Amazing sunrise views over Norwood cove from the living room and kitchen make it easy to relax. The separate suite adds a lot of privacy for multi-family groups but remains easy to facilitate everyone hanging out together for dinner or a movie night in the main house.

For safety and security, I have Ring video doorbells located, outside, each, entrance to my house. Happy to share access with you during your visit.

I invite my family and friends to vacation at my home and I hope all who stay, enjoy Vacationland as much as I do. I’m sending an open invitation to your family. See you in the Summah!

Weeklong Stay

Property was perfect for multi generation group. There was plenty of space for privacy, but communal areas fit everyone. It was right on main road leading into Southwest Harbor about 20 min from Bar Harbor and 25 into Acadia depending where you are headed. It was really nice to be away from Bar Harbor crowds and being close to Echo Lake (5 min) was perfect for our toddlers and the grandparents. Highly recommend and Zane was attentive throughout stay.

Family Vaca

First, the area is very beautiful. We thought the house was a little further off the road, but it was a little too close. Road traffic was heard in the house. The house was clean, but it does show somewhere in tear. The kitchen was well stocked with needed items. The week we stayed. The weather was warmer than normal. The owner installed window air conditioners to help with the heat. He was very responsive to any requests that we had. The outdoor decks are very nice. The yard and landscaping along with the fire pit could use, a little more attention as far as the vacation goes. We had a wonderful time and a really good experience.

About the host

Hosted by Zane Beesley

Originally from Utah but once I visited the area, I fell in love with the granite mountains disappearing into the Atlantic Ocean. Took me 4 visits over about two years to make the move east and I haven’t looked back since.

Why they chose this property

I’m grew up in Salt Lake City but spent summers helping my grandparents with their cattle farm in rural Utah. This house reminds me of those simple times living on the farm but Southwest Harbor has everything you need, like a city would have. So for me it’s the perfect combination, I can walk to the grocery store or walk to a trailhead.
