The place was well set up. Everything worked and was right where it should be. We loved it. Communication was timely and helpful. This was a favorite for my wife and I.

This property provided us the Maine experience we’d wanted: to be on a shore in serene surroundings, conveniently located while just far enough away from crowds and noise. The lupine blossoms cascaded along the road into this cottage. Beautiful!

Seashells by the seashore was the perfect secluded retreat during our trip to Acadia and Bar Harbor. It was about a 35 minute drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia, but well worth it for the beautiful scenery and immaculate, spacious, and well-appointed home. The drive to the park was almost as amazing as the drive through the park! Nights in the cabin were cozy, and we especially enjoyed s’mores at the fire pit! The house accommodated four adults comfortably, and if we didn’t spend every night hopping from one lobster place to the next we would have been very content cooking in the very spacious kitchen. We absolutely loved the time we spent there, and hope to visit again if we’re ever back in the area.
