Seaside Rose is an oceanfront cottage overlooking the traditional working harbor of Bass Harbor, where guests can enjoy panoramic views of lobster boats heading out in the morning, sailboats passing by, seabirds along the shoreline, and unforgettable sunsets over the water.

Relax and take in the scenery from the outdoor deck, the open-concept living and dining area, or the second-floor sitting area, all designed to showcase the beauty of the harbor just beyond your doorstep.

The cottage comfortably accommodates up to 6 guests with a first-floor queen bedroom and full bathroom, plus two cozy queen sleeping areas upstairs separated by a sitting area and a second full bathroom with a shower. The thoughtful layout provides both shared spaces for gathering and private areas to relax.

The cottage is only 3 miles from downtown Southwest Harbor, with its shops, restaurants, galleries, and waterfront charm. The FREE Island Explorer Shuttle Bus stops right at the cottage, making it easy to explore Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, and the surrounding villages without the hassle of driving and parking.

Host profile image
Seaside Rose is owned by Peter and Valerie, 30-year island residents and managed by their daughter Amber.

A message from the owners - Having lived on Mount Desert Island most of our lives, we can say that it is sometimes easy to take for granted all that we have here. But when we begin to describe all that the Island has to offer a visitor we remember just how lucky we are to live here. The mountains, the sea, the woods, lakes, and the people make this one of the most unique and enjoyable places we have ever known. We hope you will take full advantage of what Mount Desert Island has to offer your visit

Why they chose this property

Mount Desert Island has been home to our family for many years, and Seaside Rose represents a long-held dream of having a place where we could truly enjoy and share the beauty of this special corner of MDI.

We chose this neighborhood because of its peaceful, authentic Downeast character. This is a working harbor where lobster boats head out in the early morning, neighbors know one another, and the pace of life follows the rhythm of the tides. It’s a place to slow down, enjoy the view, and experience a quieter side of MDI while still being close to Acadia National Park and the island’s many attractions.

For our family, being on the water has always been special. We hope guests enjoy the same simple pleasures that drew us here: watching boats pass by, listening to the sounds of the harbor, exploring the coastline, and ending the day with a beautiful sunset over the water.

What makes this property unique

What makes Seaside Rose unique is the opportunity to experience authentic coastal Maine right from your doorstep. This oceanfront cottage sits directly on Bass Harbor, a traditional working harbor where guests can watch lobster boats head out in the morning, sailboats drift by, seabirds gather along the shoreline, and the sunset paint the water each evening.

Seaside Rose allows guests to truly experience the rhythm of the harbor from multiple spaces throughout the cottage, including the outdoor deck, open-concept living area, and upstairs sitting area.

As a family-owned home, Seaside Rose is thoughtfully cared for and reflects our family’s deep connection to this special place. We hope guests enjoy not only the beauty of the views, but also the peaceful, authentic Downeast Maine experience that makes Bass Harbor so memorable.
