Oceanfront Acadia Cottage With Rocky Beach

Enjoy this charming oceanfront cottage with its expansive panoramic windows. With 175 feet of private oceanfront beach at your doorstep, you'll enjoy unparalleled views of Bass Harbor.
Located on the serene "Quiet Side" of Mount Desert Island, this cottage serves as an ideal home base for your exploration of Acadia National Park.
This cottage was featured in both Condé Nast Traveler and Vice as one of of the Coolest Airbnb's Near a US National Park.

Just a stone's throw (less than 45 feet) from the ocean's edge, our tranquil cottage offers an unparalleled view of the charming lobstering village of Bass Harbor. Here, you'll be immersed in the quintessential Maine experience, with the salty sea breeze on your skin and breathtaking 180-degree vistas of the harbor and ocean. Whether you're indoors or outdoors, you'll be captivated by the mesmerizing wildlife and the rhythmic ebb and flow of the sea. Follow the meandering stone footpath down to our 175-foot private rocky beach.
Perched right on the waterfront, our cottage gives you the sensation of being on a boat.
A short 5-minute drive takes you to Southwest Harbor, home to exceptional dining options. Explore charming shops, wine and cheese stores, ice cream parlors, and bike rentals, all just minutes from our haven. Bass Harbor is known as the "Quiet Side" of Mount Desert Island, offering a peaceful escape from the tourist crowds of Bar Harbor, which is a scenic 30-minute drive away. Our neighborhood is serenely quiet and filled with friendly locals.
