About this property

3 Beds, 2 Baths - Minutes From Acadia National Park & Bar Harbor

SeaStone Cottage is geared towards vacationers who want to get the most out of their adventures on Mount Desert Island. We offer flexible scheduling, great rates, a relaxed atmosphere and local flair! SeaStone Cottage is perfect for honeymooners, families, business travelers and backpackers.

On a budget? Or just looking to spend more time with the family? Dine in with our fully furnished kitchen, or cook out with our backyard gas grill. Come and relax! Enjoy coffee on the deck, read in the gardens, and soak your cares away in our giant master Jacuzzi tub.

Nestled amongst a pine wood forest in a private 5-home condo development, SeaStone Cottage is centrally located for your convenience. We are just 4 miles from the entrance to Acadia National Park, 7 miles from Bar Harbor, and 3.5 miles from Somesville, Southwest Harbor and the quiet side of the island! We are also located less than one mile from the Atlantic Brewing Company and the Town Hill Market, known for its delicious homemade sandwiches and snacks, and where you can access the free Island Explorer shuttle.

Take the bus or drive to Cadillac Mountain, Sand Beach, Thunder Hole, or Bar Harbor.

We offer:
- customized vacation planning assistance
- local advice and expertise
- a library of brochures, guidebooks, menus and everything you need to plan your own perfect vacation getaway!

The rental unit is 1,120 sq. ft., with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and an open-concept kitchen and living area. It features a private entrance and parking for 2+ cars. The private deck and side-yard offer outside dining for 6, gardens and flower plantings. Enjoy grilling or dining outdoors with the propane BBQ, and end your evenings relaxing under the stars.

Inside the home our visitors love the full kitchen and the home library filled with guidebooks, local authors, brochures, maps, menus, magazines and novels. As an Island native, I have also included a binder filled with local tips, suggestions, can't-miss opportunities and all of my family's personal favorites from restaurants, hikes, tours, and hidden-gems. On rainy days, or evenings in, play one of the many board/card games or enjoy a movie. We have a VHS collection, or you can stream a free movie from our Roku or from your own streaming service.

Below the vacation rental unit is a separate walk-out basement apartment with private entrance and additional shared parking. This apartment is not available as a part of the vacation rental.

September Getaway

The property matched the listing. Lack of kitchen table/chairs is the only observation I missed when booking. Not a big deal for adult groups (Breakfast bar with seating for two exists.) It was great that a hard sided cooler was provided!

About the host

Hosted by Amber Howard

SeaStone Cottage was purchased in the spring of 2013 by Amber Howard, a local island resident. As the daughter of a stone mason, Amber decided to pay homage to her heritage and name this property after the stone cairns that guide hikers through Acadia National Park. With SeaStone Amber hopes to share her love of adventure and travel, all on the island she first experienced as a little girl. Amber continues to live and work in Bar Harbor at one of the local restaurants and as a massage therapist. Her family lives nearby and often helps with gardening, maintenance and property management.

Why they chose this property

Mount Desert Island was selected as the 25th best island in the world by Travel & Leisure. Sand Beach was featured as the Destination of the Day by The Huffington Post. Acadia National Park was rated as the 2nd best for biking in the country. And Bar Harbor's Town Square was honored as one of the most beautiful by Travel & Leisure.

This island is known as 'Eden,' and I hope that while you visit with us you are able to Live, Travel, Adventure, and experience this amazing place and come to love it as I have.

What makes this property unique

SeaStone Cottage is in the ideal location for those looking for a complete vacation experience on Mount Desert Island. Spend your morning swimming in Echo Lake, or jumping off the secluded cliffs into Long Pond. Enjoy the view of Somes Sound from the top of Acadia Mountain. Hike the Beehive in the afternoon, or if you're daring take a chilly dip at Sand Beach. End your evening in Bar Harbor enjoying dinner or watching the sun set from the top of Cadillac Mountain. Don't forget to end the night with some ice cream while you enjoy live music in the Village Green, or a cocktail at any of the local watering holes. Wherever you go, you are always just minutes away from SeaStone!
