Sea Spray - Modern Oceanfront Cottage with Views of Cadillac Mountain & Acadia

Imagine scanning the internet for your perfect vacation home - on the waterfront, quaint but modern, small enough to manage but ample room to relax and enjoy the quiet. THIS IS SEA SPRAY.

Two bedrooms with one full and one half bath. Within feet of Frenchmen's Bay, a glorious view of Bar Harbor and Cadillac Mountain - the crown jewel of Acadia National Park.

This property is conveniently located in Hancock, between Bar Harbor (Mount Desert Island) and the Acadia National Park Schoodic Peninsula allowing for easy access to the hustle and bustle of everything Bar Harbor has to offer but offering the quiet, "off the beaten path" break that you have been looking for.

Fully equipped with all the modern conveniences yet packaged in the traditional Downeast Maine Cedar Shake, this home is positioned well off the road for the ultimate intimate get-away. Enjoy the full kitchen or take a short drive to local lobster pounds to enjoy the sweetest lobster you have ever eaten. Ample off road parking for two cars. Complete private use of the house and property with the exception of the on site detached garage. Perfect for two but easily accommodates up to three guests.

Low tide encourages walks along the water’s edge and many guests enjoy the treasure hunt for sea glass or the rare lobster buoy! This area inspires some of the most talented artists. Sea Spray boasts an eclectic sampling of these local artists.

Enjoy the flat screen TV, cable, wireless internet, Apple TV or bring your own DVD's in case you are planning to stay home. Perhaps you are looking for a long needed rest - enjoy the King Size Sleep Number bed in the Master bedroom or the new Queen bed in the guest room. Most days offer a wonderful breeze off the water but Sea Spray has air conditioning for that occasional hot and humid day. New full size Washer and Dryer are included.

Take a seat on the deck, relax on the Adirondack chairs by the water, or enjoy a nice fire in the firepit under the stars. Whichever you choose, enjoy your favorite drink as you breathe in the sea air.

Local attractions offer ample hiking, biking, kayaking, mountain climbing and more. Your hostesses are eager to share recommendations for special hikes or other local attractions.

Sharon and Carol are your hostesses. They vacationed in Maine in 2015 and fell in love with the rugged coast and the unspoiled natural beauty that still exists in this area. They loved it so much they made it their full time home and live year round in close proximity to Sea Spray. Living in the area allows them to provide the best personal guest experience instead of the all too common distant owner who has placed their rental in the hands of a management company. They strive to maintain guest privacy while being totally available when needed.

A Perfect Getaway
We had the most wonderful time staying at Sea Spray. The cottage was perfectly clean, and Sharon and Carol were excellent hosts! It’s the perfect location between all points of Acadia- although we could’ve stayed on the porch looking out at that view all day! Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a perfect Maine getaway.

Perfect Spot to Relax and Enjoy
The home is immaculate, beautifully designed and decorated with love and care. The art pieces are both beautiful and fun. Everything you need inside is at your fingertips, including a great bed. The location is central so one can enjoy the many sights the Acadia area has to offer. The view of Cadillac Mountain is wonderful and the ocean, just steps from the house, offers a wide variety of wildlife--loons, seals, bald eagles, and much more. Quietly invigorating!

Amazing views and wonderful stay
We were blown away by the amazing view of Frenchman’s Bay from the waterfront home. The house was cozy and had anything you needed. The hospitality of the hosts was wonderful. They even left a thoughtful gift basket for us knowing we were celebrating our anniversary and a birthday. I highly recommend this Sea Spray. We couldn’t be more pleased.

Wonderful Relaxing Stay
Property was very clean and welcoming. The cottage and grounds are meticulously maintained. The water views are so relaxing and the location was perfect for exploring Acadia and the surrounding areas. Plenty of small fishing towns, hiking, walking trails, restaurants and gardens are nearby. The property manager was great at answering questions prior to booking and was always readily available if needed during our stay. We’ll definitely be returning to Sea Spray when visiting this area again.

Sea Spray
My wife and I spent 4 days at Sea Spray and had a great experience. The view of Frenchman’s bay from the house is spectacular. The house was perfect for the 2 of us and fully equipped with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We especially enjoyed evenings sitting around the fire pit, looking out on the bay. We are looking forward to coming back.

Wonderful Vrbo!!
Everything everyone says in all the reviews is true. This is a beautiful, perfect vacation spot. The views are magical. The cleanliness, and many extra touches like homemade dessert, coffee, supplies, etc. were much appreciated. Sharon and Carol went out of their way to help us have a wonderful stay, and we would love to return in the future!

Great House and Great Hosts
We had a great stay at this house. The house was amazing with great views of the bay. The hosts provided a very easy checking / check out process and welcomed us with fresh flowers and a delicious Blueberry Lemon Pound Cake. It rained the entire time of our stay in early June, but it was a great deck to watch the rain on the bay. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful Getaway
We had a great time even though the weather didn't cooperate entirely:) The house was extremely clean and very comfortable. The views from the back deck are spectacular. We will most certainly rent this place again if we take another trip up to Bar Harbor. Sharon and Carol were amazing hosts, I can't say enough about their hospitality and attention to detail. You will not be disappointed in the private rental getaway!

Sea Spray is the Best
Sea Spray was an excellent place to stay. The hosts were absolutely perfect and provided everything you needed. But, if any need arises, all you have to do is contact them and they are quick to respond. The home was very clean and well furnished. The views are spectacular. My wife and I recommend this home to all that want a great place to relax and enjoy the surrounding area.
