About this house rental
Seaside Rose is an oceanfront cottage overlooking the traditional working harbor of Bass Harbor, where guests can enjoy panoramic views of lobster boats heading out in the morning, sailboats passing by, seabirds along the shoreline, and unforgettable sunsets over the water.
Relax and take in the scenery from the outdoor deck, the open-concept living and dining area, or the second-floor sitting area, all designed to showcase the beauty of the harbor just beyond your doorstep.
The cottage comfortably accommodates up to 6 guests with a first-floor queen bedroom and full bathroom, plus two cozy queen sleeping areas upstairs separated by a sitting area and a second full bathroom with a shower. The thoughtful layout provides both shared spaces for gathering and private areas to relax.
Seaside Rose offers a peaceful waterfront setting while remaining conveniently located for exploring Mount Desert Island. The Swans Island Ferry Terminal is just 0.4 miles away, Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse is 1.3 miles away, and guests can easily access Acadia National Park’s Seawall area (4 miles) and the Ship Harbor and Wonderland trails (1.9 miles).
The cottage is only 3 miles from downtown Southwest Harbor, with its shops, restaurants, galleries, and waterfront charm. The FREE Island Explorer Shuttle Bus stops right at the cottage, making it easy to explore Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, and the surrounding villages without the hassle of driving and parking.

Perfect size and layout for our group of 4, offering comfortable group space, but ease to have privacy when desired. Ocean breeze, sunrise and sunset, lots of natural light are nature’s offerings.Sea rose has all the conveniences of home in working order:Laundry, dishwasher, 2 full bathrooms, gas grill, deck. There is no air conditioning but we were there during a heat wave and between the breeze and the available fans, we were comfortable.My husband is wheelchair bound. The ramp to front door and fully accessible first floor including deck made our stay possible. Just be aware that It is not ADA compliant with grab bars for toilet or bath and doorways are standard and passible with care but not extra wide. The neighborhood provides a taste of traditional Downeast Maine in its timeless charm. A couple of family oriented seafood restaurants, neighbors with charming gardens and honor system pie stands, the roads are twisty and narrow, the lobster boats rumble out of the harbor around 5 am and the seagulls rule the low tide mudflats.A bit of a drive to Bar Harbor. For the most part, we tried to enjoy the quiet side of MDI.Sea snd freshwater kayaking, a sail trip out of Southwest Harbor, Bass Harbor light,Wonderland & Ships Harbor trails early in the am.Our family would definitely recommend this property.

The first thing we noticed when we arrived was how clean the place was and the beautiful view from THE living room. Amber communicated very well with us and was always available when we had a question. We would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to spend time in Bass Harbor-Bar Harbor-Acadia NP.

Beautiful, peaceful home in the perfect location. Located in beautiful, quiet Bass Harbor. Bedroom upstairs was perfect for my kids and they had their own bathroom. Located right near the water made for incredible early morning and evening views. House had everything we needed to feel at home. We walked to the nearby ferry and visited Swan Island for the day. Perfect vacation. The hosts were wondering and caring.

This place was perfect in every way. It was immaculate, comfortable, quiet, very adequate and a great location for exploring in Acadia National Park and the whole area. The kitchen was so nice and the grill worked perfectly. The 2 bathrooms were a plus.
