About this property
Beautiful ocean-front home, wooded seclusion, private beach on Maine Bold Coast
All the beauty of Acadia in your own wooded corner of Maine’s Bold Coast, this property is truly medicine for the mind. Acres of forest carpeted by soft moss surround the home and a crystal clear brook meanders through on its way to a small waterfall on the small cliff at the beach. The walkable beach is covered with small smooth pebbles which makes an amazing pop-rock sound as the waves crash and retreat, exactly the same as the nearby Jasper Beach. Large bold pink granite veins are also part of the beach landscape and they stand defiant against the waves of the Atlantic.
The views of the islands and open ocean from all 3 levels of the home are truly breathtaking. Enough beds to sleep 6 adults comfortably, and with 2 bathrooms, this classic coastal Maine home features a spiral staircase, wall to wall windows on the first floor living space providing panoramic views of the water, and refinished original hardwood floors from when the cottage was built in 1905. There is a one of a kind bench available for guest use that provides a prime spot to chill by the sea and recharge. Guests can explore the trail through the woods that leads to an observation deck with two rocking chairs. The serene spot is next to a small water fall and overlooks the bold rocky coastline.
The property provides easy access to the beach via a gently sloping trail. The ocean in front of the property is surprisingly calm many days, especially mornings, and you can often see kayakers and paddle boarders making their way to Jasper Beach, which is just up the coast a bit from the cottage. The cliffs, canyons and caves between the cottage and Jasper Beach are truly phenomenal when viewed from the water or explored on foot. Guests must supply their own water sports equipment, which can be rented from outfitters in nearby Machias.
There is a king bed in the spacious upstairs lighthouse theme bedroom, a full bed in the second upstairs moose theme bedroom, a twin bed and two built-in bunk beds in the first floor blueberry theme bedroom, a queen size bed in the newly finished lobster theme bedroom in the walkout basement. The top bunk in the bunk room is available for luggage storage and the bunks have a weight limit of 180 pounds.
The home is heated by a combination of propane, electric baseboard and a mini-split heat pump with air conditioning as well. The best air conditioning however is most always the windows and there are window fans available for guest use in all rooms except the bathrooms.
There is an antique desk in the lighthouse bedroom with a monitor that can serve as an office space if necessary. There is also an antique desk and office chair in the basement bedroom and a fold down desk in the second upstairs bedroom each offering work spaces as well. The kitchen has a new dishwasher, full size refrigerator, gas oven and five burner cook top with built in griddle, microwave, and a custom built antique coffee cart with combination Keurig and drip coffee maker. The kitchen also has a blender, salad spinner, lobster pot, lobster and oyster shucking tools, and a toaster.
A few modern amenities include high speed satellite internet, high speed level 2 EV charger, and a 55 inch flat screen television in the main floor family room. There is also a second family room in the walkout basement with a smart TV on the wall. The universal EV charger has a J1772 adapter (and native NACS adapter) available for guest use.
We welcome your family pet to join you on your Maine vacation. Please note there is a pet fee of $175 with a maximum of 2 pets allowed. Pets need to remain on the 1st level (main floor) only using the supplied baby gates.

Beautiful home with the most amazing beach. This is our second year going to SeaClusion. So many improvements and the most comfortable home. This year my daughter brought her two pups. Our two granddaughters still consider the beach, The Best Playground Ever!
This was my family's second time staying here and it was just as wonderful as the first time. The house was very clean (that is extremely important to me!), it was well-equipped with absolutely everything we needed to enjoy our 10-day stay, and honestly - there isn't a thing we would change about it other than wishing we could have stayed much longer! We hope to return again and again!
Set right at the edge of the ocean made for the perfect place to unwind and enjoy some down time. Well stocked with everything you need to cook and even some basic spices and baking supplies. Lots of games and puzzles to keep children busy and a fun wild coast beaches to explore.
We absolutely loved our stay! The location was stunning and the house was everything we could ask for! The home is well stocked and cared for with so many nice touches that really made it stand out above most other vacation homes we have stayed in. We would definitely stay again!

Jenae, We are thrilled you enjoyed your stay and welcome you back any time! When you do stay again we will have completed the first observation deck located at the edge of the small cliff right next to the waterfall and will have two rocking chairs there ready for peaceful reflections and nature watching! Thank you for choosing our spot! Sincerely, The Gamage Family
Check in process was very easy and host was very helpful with the tips and overall communication. This is a secluded place with beautiful nature around. View from the house is amazing!

Thank you Alan…we are very glad you all (including your pup) enjoyed the place! We also love the natural surroundings and the view never stops hugging our soul!
Perfect spot for our 4 night getaway, love how quiet the Machiasport area is. House is cozy and unique (in a good way🙂). We had an issue during our stay that Brian couldn't have handled any better, he really went above and beyond! This is a great property steps away from the rocky coast of Maine, a true oasis to get away for a while.

We loved staying at this house. The spot was beautiful. Such a nice place to explore and just relax and enjoy the scenery. The house was cozy and comfortable.
The owners were very responsive; communication was great.
We love this area -- great hikes in Cutler and Roque Bluffs, and Jasper Beach is a favorite spot!

We are so happy you all enjoyed your stay at Seaclusion and explored the winter off-roading options in the Downeast Maine area. Thank you for choosing our spot and we look forward to sharing it with you again sometime! Sincerely Brian and Melanie
We had a wonderful time during our stay. The house and property are everything as described and more. We enjoyed the easy access to put in kayaks and explore the surrounding area. We spent many hours just sitting on the property taking in the views of the ocean and the lobster boats out for their daily catch. Also provided a nice central location to explore and hike the surrounding areas of Roque Bluffs state park and Machias. Highly recommend!
The location of this property is truly ideal. The house is secluded and tucked away in the pine trees with an amazing view of the ocean. You feel secluded, but you are very close to all the amenities of the cute town of Machias. The house is equipped with everything you would ever need. It is very cozy and the property owners are very attentive. The hardest thing about our trip was leaving. We can’t wait to return!

Katie, We are very glad you enjoyed the place and the space and look forward to hosting you all again in the future! We are continually making improvements some big and some small to enhance the experience of staying at Seaclusion. Thank you.
Beautifully decorated, well appointed, spectacular ocean views--
the cottage was everything we wanted and then some. It truly was secluded with no neighbors in sight. The owners answered all of our questions quickly and provided fun details about the property. We had a lovely time

Bill, we are thrilled that you enjoyed the property and did some good peaceful bird watching and relaxing by the water. Thank you for being such wonderful guests! Sincerely, Brian and Melanie
Rarely does a property exceed expectations like Seaclusion did. The location is absolute perfect. The home was decorated expertly. Seaclusion is a true gem. When word gets out about what a perfect rental is I’m sure it will be completely booked for months in advance. Thank you to the homeowners for a perfect vacation rental.

Matt, thank you so much for choosing our place for your time on the Maine coast, we are very glad you loved it as much as we do and look forward to sharing it with you again next year! Sincerely, Brian and Melanie and Family
The shoreline here is really beautiful, with rugged rocks and boulders and sea cliffs. The views from the cottage are lovely. The kitchen is well stocked. A very nice coffee pot! Views from the main bedroom are great. Cottage is rounded by beautiful evergreens and there is a set of rocking chairs where you can enjoy the view. A walk down the shore brings you to caves in one direction and a rocky beach in the other direction. Machias is a great town with a terrific brewpub and Helen’s for pie!
Our stay here was enjoyable in every aspect. The house was very clean, the communication with the host was clear and pleasant, and the location was beautiful. Our family of five (parents with three children ages 12-17) was very comfortable during our stay, and we enjoyed every single minute there! We are a family who enjoys simple things such as spending time oceanside, hiking on nearby trails, and sometimes just reading - all of which we did while staying here. We are thankful that Brian and Melanie have opted to share their most beautiful house through VRBO with others who appreciate this special place. We would certainly look forward to staying there again!
The property was even more amazing than it looks in the photos. The driveway in weaves through a mossy forest and opens up to a beautiful ocean view. Once inside, the home is exactly as pictured in the photos, beautifully updated and fitted with all the spices and cooking essentialls necessary for your stay. The view is ever changing as the tides are significant here, the shore going from a quintessential Maine rocky coastline to an expansive rocky beach walkable to an impressive cave. Brian and Melanie were super helfpul in making suggestions in advance and checking in during our stay. Would absolutely recommend staying here, excellent all around.
From the moment we pulled up and saw the house and the view we knew we were going to have a fantastic time. The house was beautiful from the statement staircase to the lovely kitchen. The rooms were comfortable and clean. We felt right at home.
We were looking for quality family time in a peaceful setting and thats exactly what we got. Brian was communicative and helpful. The details were all there, just as described in the listing. We look forward going back.
