Sea Spray - Modern Oceanfront Cottage with Views of Cadillac Mountain & Acadia

Imagine scanning the internet for your perfect vacation home - on the waterfront, quaint but modern, small enough to manage but ample room to relax and enjoy the quiet. THIS IS SEA SPRAY.

Two bedrooms with one full and one half bath. Within feet of Frenchmen's Bay, a glorious view of Bar Harbor and Cadillac Mountain - the crown jewel of Acadia National Park.

This property is conveniently located in Hancock, between Bar Harbor (Mount Desert Island) and the Acadia National Park Schoodic Peninsula allowing for easy access to the hustle and bustle of everything Bar Harbor has to offer but offering the quiet, "off the beaten path" break that you have been looking for.

Fully equipped with all the modern conveniences yet packaged in the traditional Downeast Maine Cedar Shake, this home is positioned well off the road for the ultimate intimate get-away. Enjoy the full kitchen or take a short drive to local lobster pounds to enjoy the sweetest lobster you have ever eaten. Ample off road parking for two cars. Complete private use of the house and property with the exception of the on site detached garage. Perfect for two but easily accommodates up to three guests.

Low tide encourages walks along the water’s edge and many guests enjoy the treasure hunt for sea glass or the rare lobster buoy! This area inspires some of the most talented artists. Sea Spray boasts an eclectic sampling of these local artists.

Enjoy the flat screen TV, cable, wireless internet, Apple TV or bring your own DVD's in case you are planning to stay home. Perhaps you are looking for a long needed rest - enjoy the King Size Sleep Number bed in the Master bedroom or the new Queen bed in the guest room. Most days offer a wonderful breeze off the water but Sea Spray has air conditioning for that occasional hot and humid day. New full size Washer and Dryer are included.

Take a seat on the deck, relax on the Adirondack chairs by the water, or enjoy a nice fire in the firepit under the stars. Whichever you choose, enjoy your favorite drink as you breathe in the sea air.

Local attractions offer ample hiking, biking, kayaking, mountain climbing and more. Your hostesses are eager to share recommendations for special hikes or other local attractions.

Sharon and Carol are your hostesses. They vacationed in Maine in 2015 and fell in love with the rugged coast and the unspoiled natural beauty that still exists in this area. They loved it so much they made it their full time home and live year round in close proximity to Sea Spray. Living in the area allows them to provide the best personal guest experience instead of the all too common distant owner who has placed their rental in the hands of a management company. They strive to maintain guest privacy while being totally available when needed.

Sea Spray was amazing!
We had a fantastic stay at Sea Spray! Sharon and Carol were wonderful hosts, ensuring that every aspect of our visit was perfect. The house was impeccably clean and beautifully decorated, making it a true home away from home. Located on Frenchman’s Bay, the views were absolutely stunning. We spent countless hours enjoying the scenery from the deck, and the sunsets were breathtaking. The location was ideal, a perfect distance from Bar Harbor and Ellsworth for eating and shopping. Sharon and Carol were incredibly responsive and provided great recommendations for dining and activities. I can’t recommend Sea Spray highly enough—this is a perfect getaway for anyone looking to relax and soak in the beauty of Maine. We can’t wait to return!

Beautiful home away from home
This property is absolutely beautiful and the hosts are very amiable. We had most breakfasts in the well supplied kitchen after watching the sun rise from our bed and searched for sea glass on the little beach off the back porch. We didnt have a chance to use the fire pit but it was well equipped. Would definately recommend.

Absolutely Positively Wonderful
This was our fifth trip to Maine and the most wonderful VRBO we have ever stayed in! The view was spectacular, the house was immaculate, thoughtfully furnished with charming decor and a well-stocked kitchen. The location is ideal. We shot off in multiple directions: to Quoddy, Tinder Hearth in Brooksville, Jordan Pond, Thuya Garden (be sure to go through the Curtis house), Deer Isle and Bar Harbor. We were also in excellent proximity to fresh lobster. Morning coffee on the porch overlooking the bay was beautiful, peaceful and refreshing. Our hosts were wonderful as well. We will be savoring the memories of our stay at Sea Spray for days and years to come.

If there is a more peaceful place to vacation and get away from it all, we have not found it. However, it is a short distance to anything you wish to do in Bar Harbor, Acadia or Schoodic. The cottage was immaculate and had everything we needed to feel at home, including freshly baked popovers, butter and jam upon arrival -- what a treat! We can't wait to return.

By far, our favorite VRBO to date. Spotless home with epic views enhanced by a firepit we used nightly. Away from the hustle of Bar Harbor but close enough to hike the elic trails of Acadia.

We use VRBO often in our travels and this is by far the best home we have stayed in. The house itself is beautiful and the views are a rare find. Sitting on the deck and watching the water and the birds was very relaxing and the sunset views from the fire pit are stunning. The house had all of the amenities we could think of and the hosts are so thoughtful and welcoming. I’m still dreaming of their home made popovers. Like the title says… just book this house!

My husband and I spent a week at Seaspray for our 40th wedding anniversary and for his birthday. It could not have been more wonderful. The house is perfect and Carol and Sharon have thought of absolutely everything that one might need. It was the most serene and peaceful and quiet vacation we’ve ever had. we did not leave the house very often because it was so wonderful to be there, but there are lots of things to do if one chooses to take advantage of Acadia and Bar Harbor. We were perfectly content staying at the wonderful home, enjoying the view and the crisp air and watching the Harbor Seals and all the birds. Thank you Carol and Sharon for sharing your home.

Sea Spray Cottage is delightful!
Our four day stay in Sea Spray Cottage was simply amazing! The bay view from almost every window is just the beginning. There's a wonderful deck overlooking the sound and a fire pit steps from the house. There's privacy and quiet. The cottage is charmingly decorated and the house is thoughtfully furnished with anything one might want or need. Hosts went above and beyond with home baked welcome treats and a s'more kit. It is an easy drive to the entrance to Acadia National Park. The cottage is also close to the Schoodic Peninsula part of the Park, which has a different feel and is worth a visit. We loved our first trip to Maine and our stay in this lovely cottage.

We started the tradition of taking our grandchildren on a 1 on 1 trip with us. We could not have picked a better spot. The property gave us constant views of Cadillac Mountain and, the Ocean tides, seals, lobster boats. We had nightly campfires. We were greeted by a handwritten note and freshly cooked popovers. Our hosts could not have been more kind. The home was beautiful and fully equipped. We could not more highly recommend. We used this as a base to visit Acadia National Park and the Schoodic peninsula. It was so nice being away from the busyness of the park and Bar Harbor each night. Expectations exceeded!

We had the most wonderful time staying at Sea Spray. The cottage was perfectly clean, and Sharon and Carol were excellent hosts!

Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a perfect Maine getaway.
