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.

Welcoming home away from home in Maine
This one is special! If it’s available and you are looking at “down east” Maine, you should reserve it now! The owners offer a welcoming line of communication from the start. The home is immaculate!! The house is truly stocked and ready to welcome its guest. It is just as advertised! This is one you will want to repeat!!! We enjoyed our stay here and a heartfelt thanks to Sharon and Carol!!

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.

AMAZING Home to Relax.
5-Stars is not enough for this incredible property. Impeccable attention to detail. Every room is perfect in every way. Sharon and Carol are the ultimate Hosts. They are there if you need them but give you your privacy. My Husband and I were so pleased that we booked 9 days to come back in Spring. Every VRBO home could take lessons from these wonderful ladies that go out of their way make sure your stay is PERFECT in every way. Can't wait to return to this Peaceful Haven.
