DownEast and Acadia Maine House | Shorefront Cottage in Northeast Harbor Maine

3 Bedroom House in DownEast and Acadia Maine, Seal Harbor

Our house on the beach has many attributes. These include the house’s seclusion (though still convenient to the Towns of Northeast Harbor and Bar Harbor), its walking distance to the Park entrances, and its self-contained activities, especially around the beach.
Located on Peabody Drive between the villages of Northeast Harbor and Seal Harbor, this well designed, shorefront home offers dramatic views of Bear, Sutton and Cranberry Islands, from each of its three levels. The place offers multiple activities associated with a private and sheltered beach - bird watching, sparkly stone and shell hunting, private picnicking on the picnic bench, boat watching and star gazing from the four linked chairs (with tables), and swimming (if you don’t mind chilly waters). One can spend considerable time, both inside and out, just listening to the ocean sounds of buoys, lobster boats and lapping water. As the house looks out to both the Eastern and Western Way, guests view all kinds of boats - racing sailboats and large yachts, lobster boats and motorboats - traveling into Northeast or Seal Harbor. You can also launch your kayak from the sheltered beach. Local kayak rental companies offer deliver and pick up.
Seal’s Repose's location makes it extremely accessible to the offerings of Acadia National Park. The house is walking distance to three key entrances to the carriage paths and hiking trails. The first carriage path entrance is 1/4 mile up the road. A short distance further up is the entrance to Little Long Pond, with its special walking and viewing attractions. Little Harbor Brook Trail is another key Park entrance (150 yards down the road), offering one of the Park’s most beautiful trails. All of these entrances link to other Park carriage paths and trails enabling you to walk to points of interest without the hassle of finding a parking space. For example, Jordan Pond and the Jordan Pond House is a pleasant 2.5 mile walk. Furthermore, the Jordan Pond entrance to the Park and the Town's public, sandy beach are 1 mile away. The town of Northeast harbor is about a 1.5 mile drive, with its art galleries, shops, market, community house.
When indoors, the house itself is very accommodating. Relatively new for an island house, Its architecture, including size (about 2,000 square feet), three levels, and thoughtful layout, provides numerous social and work settings with ample privacy. It has two cable equipped TV's and Wi-Fi throughout. It is well insulated for a warm and comfortable year–round retreat, with double-pane windows and individual heating controls in every room.
The First Floor has a spacious Living and Dining area and porch that face the ocean. On this floor are also a private den with queen-sized, pullout couch and adjacent full bath and a full kitchen and utility room with all necessary appliances.
Second Floor has a large master bedroom with high, two story cathedral ceiling, king sized bed, sitting area and large picture windows. The Master Bath/Dressing Room is equipped with whirlpool tub, shower and walk-in closets. The second bedroom has two twin beds convertible to a king-sized bed, a bay window and an attached private bathroom.

Summary: What a beautiful setting and home! Our 3 young adult children had their own spaces and there was excellent communal space as well. The master bedroom is gorgeous. The host was very helpful and we really enjoyed our stay!

Summary: This was the perfect property for my family of four. The location was perfect for accessing everything Acadia has to offer. Trails, carriage roads, and Northeast Harbor were within minutes of a drive, and Bar Harbor was easy to get to. The house was comfortable with beautiful views of the coast throughout. The beds were extremely comfortable and the water pressure in the showers were amazing! Our kids loved walking down to the rock beach and searching for sea glass, crabs, shells, and anything else they could find. We truly enjoyed our stay. Thank you, Mike! We will be back.

Summary: I cannot add much to the other reviews! The location is excellent and gave us easy access to Acadia national park as well as Bar Harbor, and Northeast Harbor. The house has large windows that let in a lot of natural light. The homeowner provides outdoor seating so you can enjoy the spectacular views. We enjoyed our stay!

Summary: We had a wonderful stay at Seals Repose. The location was close to Acadia and Bar Harbor. The view was amazing, getting up every morning to a view of the water made my vacation!! Our host, Michael, was very responsive and provided timely details. We had everything we needed. I would 100% recommend staying here for anyone visiting the area.

Summary: My family and I had a wonderful week at a beautiful place. Loved the location--far enough away from Bar Harbor that you had some peace, but close enough to multiple areas of the park. A few mile drive to Jordan Pond. Loved the view. Gorgeous view from the house/deck of the islands off the coast. Saw a seal swim by one day. Had a barred(?) owl in the yard one day as well. Loved the fact you could walk out your door and hike trails which can connect to Acadia. We did that one day and hiked to Jordan Pond. (avoiding the parking nightmare over there...) Loved the library in the house as well. Communication was great--probably the best I have had throughout my bookings with VRBO. Do bring bar soap, shampoo, and napkins/paper towels. No need for coffee filters, as of the time we left there were about 50 ;) Hope to be back some day!

Summary: The pictures can’t do this location justice. Wake up every morning to lightly rolling your waves and island views. A quick drive to Jordan Pond, Cadillac Mountain, and Bar Harbor. Mike was great and easy to work with!

Summary: My daughter and I wanted to enjoy a girls trip of hiking and relaxation. We certainly achieved both by staying here. From booking to checking out, everything went smoothly and efficiently. Communication was excellent, so much so, I feel I've made new friends. The house and location were perfect to explore everything Acadia has to offer. Crisp mornings started each day, sitting on the Adirondack chairs watching the tide go in out. We found some beautiful pieces of sea glass and listened to the harbor bell daily. If you are looking for peace and quiet, relaxation and tranquility then you'll find it here!

Summary: We loved the location of the Sea Harbor house. It was close to Bar Harbor and other smaller towns. We enjoyed the view from the house. Those big picture windows gave us a great view of the trees and the water. It was a very comfortable and clean house. We enjoyed our stay very much.
