Spectacular Shoreview! Mt Desert - Acadia National Park Area - Best Sunsets!

Barbara was so helpful and informative as a host and we really loved the house. It was so nice to be on the quiet side. We had the best time exploring the beach just outside the front door. The house had everything we needed and it was just so charming and rustic. We had a genuine Maine experience and our family will cherish the memories forever.

The house is not fancy. Instead, the owners have done a wonderful job of maintaining the old wood an as much as possible replacing things that wore out without changing the feel. The setting is idillic, with a common yellow throat red-eyed vireo, and song sparrow serenading us all day. A number of bald eagles flew right over. The fish at Hodgdons Seafood (3 minutes away) was amazing.

The cabin is rustic, but clean,comfortable, and took my family back to a simpler time. What the home lacks in modern features it makes yp for with a gorgeous and quiet location. We saw eagles daily as we sat on the porch.

We stayed at this Seal Cove rental in mid June, 2017. And, yes, the home is lovely and definitely full of Maine "charm"....the views are amazing, the kitchen has everything one could want for fun lobster meals, there is lots of room, the location is convenient to all of the great hiking trails in Acadia, and all in all, our stay was fine. However, while we were staying at this home, there were a few things which hindered my partner and my ability to have a peaceful vacation. First of all, we rented this place because it was advertised as being "private". Well, renters beware...there is a home right next door and during out stay, there was construction going on...this loud construction woke us up a few very early mornings and hindered our much needed vacation. We did approach the owner, and she was responsive. However, out of our 7 day stay, we were awoken or bothered by loud noise 3 days out of the 7. This added an annoyance and much aggravation. Hopefully, this will not be a problem for any other renters in the future. Luckily, the owner gave us a small discount for our stay. Also, the bathtub/shower in the main bathroom was not really usable, as it was not steady, and somewhat dangerous. Our experience on the whole, left us with some what of a biter taste for this stay. We have rented many places in the past, and unfortunately, this was not our favorite. With this location, and charm of the home, this should have been stellar....and it ended up just being "so, so".
