Charming and nicely decorated inside
Charming home, nicely decorated. Nice view of SW Harbor. Close to grocery store, restaurants, Acadia. If you cannot walk up a flight of stairs, you may want to contact the host, though. Great location. We took a ride on a lobster boat, went to Bar Harbor, went to Cadillac mountain, and drove the park loop. We really enjoyed the island and its beauty.

Very Enjoyable
We stayed at the house for three weeks and it worked very well. Our boys (5 & 8) enjoyed the firepit next to the water, the short walk to the shops, library, ice cream, etc. and close proximity to a working harbor.

The property is beautiful there wasn't anything we needed that wasn't provided to us. Christie was an amazing hostess. We took the ferry to Swans Island and go stuck on the island due to the dock breaking and I reached out to her, and she sent her nephew to come pick us up from Bass Harbor once we got back to the main island because we had to leave our rental on Swans Island! We were so grateful for her all her help. I highly recommend staying in the Cottage and on Southwest Harbor.

The house was clean and well set up for a family of 5. The location fit exactly our needs, close enough to all the things we wanted to do but still quiet. The communication with the host was easy and prompt.

Charming home
Christie was an exceptional host and we very much enjoyed having this charming house as our base to a wonderful family vacation. The house was very clean and offered everything we needed for the week. We enjoyed making a camfire by the water many of the nights we were there. That was a treat that we miss by not camping...thumbs up.

Perfect MDI Family Trip
Our stay at Christie’s cottage was the perfect stage for having a wonderful family vacation with my wife and I, two parents, two young children, and the family dog! We could walk into quaint Southwest Harbor for a meal and shopping, or make the 20 minute drive to Bar Harbor and the Acadia Loop. The house itself too, with large deck, fire pit and access to the ocean offered plenty to do. We would highly recommend and will return!

We had a great stay - our visit was made very comfortable by our host Christie. Everything was as pictured and the house was well appointed. We were able to make family meals, play board games on a rainy day, and enjoyed time in the yard and with our neighbors for the week. There was also great bike storage as an added bonus! Highly recommend.

Fabulous house!
My husband and I rented this house for a week to celebrate our 20th anniversary and could not have been happier! It was the perfect set up for us and the house was wonderful. It was very, very clean and really well maintained. The deck was perfect for morning coffee overlooking the marina and we used the fire pit two nights. It was everything that we wanted. Loved the location so that we could walk to the shops in town and great restaurants. Also very close to some great hikes! Our trip could not have been better and we plan to return and, if we’re lucky, rent this house again. Perfect setup for a family too!

off season quiet getaway
This house was perfect for two couples to enjoy some quiet time in Southwest Harbor during the shoulder season. The house was great and we enjoyed the deck and firepit overlooking the harbor. As it was the shoulder season, many of the area shops and restaurants were closed for the season. The local hiking was fabulous.

Great stay
Loved the quiet side location. My kids liked playing on the rocks and exploring. House is exactly like described. My only recommendation would be a few more lights, very dark inside and it’s hard to read( especially if your over 40:). We loved drinking our morning coffee on the huge deck. Thanks for allowing dogs, my dog loved it as well.

Perfect cottage for a fabulous week in MDI. Daily walk to town to restaurants and shops, or down on the docks. Great fire pit (we sat during the early evening so no fire) and a nice deck for playing cards in the evening.

Great week in Southwest Harbor!
Our group (6 adults and 2 dogs) did well for the week. Christine was very responsive when we had a minor issue and she fixed it within a few hours. My only complaint was the noise from the road in front of the house was more than I anticipated. House was great - just as advertised. We will stay again in the future!

Late October Stay
We had an amazing week in southwest harbor! House was spacious and clean and perfectly homey. A picturesque view of the harbor demands to be admired. I found myself gazing off the porch every late afternoon. You will not be disappointed. We made daily drives to do various hikes and visit Bar Harbor. Never was in the car for more than 30 minutes. Christie is super friendly and quick to respond. Really can't say enough about good things about our stay.

Fall getaway-wish we could have stayed longer!
Seashore Cottage is exactly as charming and comfortable as the pictures depict it, while still providing a great array of amenities. The fireplace and two modern heaters helped keep the chilly fall air at bay. Even though we didn't end up using the kayaks or firepit, it was nice to know they were there if we wanted to. Christie was easy to reach and very helpful. The location is perfect too-an easy walk for good food and a scenic drive in any direction. We would definitely stay here again
