About this property

Deluxe Waterfront Cottage on Somes Sound

Built in 2005, our beautiful cottage, just steps from the beach, has every amenity to make your stay in Southwest Harbor a delight, beginning with its ideal setting on Somes Sound. It is a perfect place to relax while enjoying the beauty and activities of Acadia National Park and the quaint Mt. Desert Island villages. Treat yourself to an oh-so-fresh Maine lobster, watch sailboats drifting by, and enjoy the other activities, sights and experiences that Mt. Desert and Acadia National Park offer.

The large deck is a perfect place to grill or to watch the busy activity on the ocean. Step down from the deck to the shore on a soft pine needle path. Enjoy the home's beautiful professional landscaping. Walk to the charming village of Southwest Harbor or to the free Island Explorer bus which will carry you and your bikes throughout Mt. Desert and Acadia National Park.

The house has three bedrooms, primary with a king bed and ensuite bathroom, secondary bedrooms, one with queen bed and one with two sets of bunk beds. There are two modern bathrooms, each with double marble sinks, one with washer/dryer. The large open plan living/kitchen area has wonderful views , skylights, decorator designed furnishings, top of the line kitchen appliances and granite counter tops. The living room is open and airy with cathedral ceiling and huge glass doors and windows opening to the deck and Somes Sound.

Also provided: wireless internet. Central thermostat-controlled heat – cozy for cool evenings and cooler times of year.

Great Autumn Getaway on the Quiet Side
This was our second stay at this wonderful property. Comfortable, very well appointed and equipped, gorgeous setting and view in a wooded lot on Somes Sound. Easy walk to SW Harbor and its stores, restaurants, etc. Modern kitchen in a spacious and comfortable great room. The host lives nearby and is friendly and accommodating. The house feels a bit like a camp because of all the wood (which is of superb quality!) and the use of appointments from days gone by, but is in fact spacious and modern with all the conveniences. We thoroughly enjoyed this place and plan to return.

Stunning 😍 oceanfront cottage
Quiet SW Harbor cottage town. Perfect for a getaway for families wanting to enjoy the deck and rocky beachfront. Lots to do in Acadia National Park only 25-30 minutes away. Would definitely come back for some much needed rest and relaxation.

Why they chose this property

Summer in Maine! Whatever you have heard is true. We discoverd Mt. Desert Island, Acadia National Park and Southwest Harbor in the 1970's and every summer has been wonderful. So many things to do. Never enough time, so we have to return year after year.

What makes this property unique

The house is steps from Somes Sound with beach to play, wade and enjoy lots of activity. There are lobster boats working daily. In summer, sailboat races go by most afternoons.
