Clean, convenient and charming Seal Harbor house

Great communication from the owner throughout, lovely location, quiet neighborhood. Two bedrooms, one bathroom was enough for our needs. House was in excellent shape, highly recommend!

awesome house

This was our second summer at the property (2 adults + 1 teenager). Great location—you can be parked at Jordan Pond and out walking within 5 minutes of leaving the house; a nice early walk/hike to start the day. The house is spotlessly clean and well stocked. Particularly nice for a NE vacation rental: sheets, towels, beach towels are all provided (and there is a washer+dryer if you need it). Recommendation: book the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Garden in advance if you are interested, it is a special place and just a couple minutes away from the property. Recommendation: Ambergris Voyages (captained by Patrick, out of Southwest Harbor) is an ideal way to sail aboard a schooner without the crowds of some of the Bar Harbor boats—6 passengers max so you can really move around the boat, which is beautiful.

Nice Cottage

The house is very charming and clean. Matt was communicative and helpful. The house is away from downtown which I actually found to be nice. Very quiet and there are some carriage trails and bike rental down the street. Easy drive into Bar Harbor so don’t worry about the distance. Overall a great stay.

Perfect for Acadia

My husband and I stayed here the first week of October. It was perfect for us. There is a path down the street that will take you right to one of the carriage roads that lead to Jordon Pond, no driving required! Of course it was an easy drive to Bar Harbor and the Quiet side. The house was immaculate. We ate in most evenings, and the kitchen had all the supplies we needed - pots, pans, utensils, dishes, Rubbermaid containers, etc. Matt left detailed instructions, including wifi info, what to do on departure day, contact info how to use the tv's and so on. The neighborhood was quiet. We slept upstairs in the king size bed. It was quite comfortable. The bathroom was large and the plumbing worked well. The extensive library was a joy to browse through, and if the weather had been bad (it wasn't!) we'd have had plenty to read. Having just the one bathroom upstairs was no problem for us. I could see that if you were with other people it might be a little weird. The house is terrific and perfectly located, though! Would definitely stay there again.
