Mount Desert Island Waterfront. Acadia National Park. Luxury Suite.
Located in the midst of Acadia National Park, on Mount Desert Island, this private, self-contained. waterfront suite is luxurious and caters to those who love wildlife, water, and tranquility. Located on Seal Cove, just steps from the beach, the view is spectacular and is considered "one of the best locations on MDI to watch the sun set."
Bring or rent a kayak to explore the outer islands and their conservation trails or spend the day in the park knowing you have a quiet, immaculate suite to return to - surrounded by hundreds of acres of virgin forest.
Seal Cove is four miles from the restaurants, shopping, and marina of Southwest Harbor, and fifteen miles from the bustling hub of Bar Harbor. Just two miles away are the hiking trails of Acadia's Western Mountains. Just beyond are Echo Lake and Long Pond (where you can rent kayaks and canoes).
Enjoy waking to bird song, seeing resident bald eagles, seal, wild turkey, and deer. If you are a writer, artist, or musician, a screened-in pergola in the woods offers a magical setting to create.
Step through double, sliding-glass doors into your own living room complete with sofa, chairs, a large, flat-screen television with Roku, and a separate food and beverage nook with a bar fridge, microwave, toaster, and coffee and tea making. This is an independent unit. Set up for the person or couple who prefer to start their morning with Nespresso coffee or tea and end their day with a glass of wine and cheese platter, before enjoying one of the nearby restaurants.
A hallway that has doors to the shower and a separate powder room (with a view) leads to your king-sized bed in the master suite on Seal Cove. Open the screened doors and windows to smell the ocean and sea roses as you enjoy coffee in bed with a good book and/or someone you love.

Wonderful retreat, comfy accommodations and very kind hostess. We stayed 7 days and enjoyed both the quiet side of island plus Bar Harbor and Acadia sites. Would certainly recommend!
The property was amazing and Jennifer was so kind and welcoming. Not only was the living space beautiful and clean, but Jennifer also included personal touches like fresh cut flowers. I would absolutely stay here again.
Jennifer was an incredible host! She communicated as well as any host I've ever had and included personal touches throughout. Her property is amazing and named as such. Tranquility Base was an absolute 5-star stay. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a way to visit Acadia without having to fight the crowds when you want some seclusion.
Jennifer was extremely hospitable and jumped through hoops with a minor HVAC issue that was completely out of her control. She literally went above and beyond for us. Seal Cove was beautiful and her place was as described but better than we anticipated. I highly recommend her rental.
This is a beautifully kept property in a stunning location. Very clean. Well kept space. The location is Quiet and intimate. A very special place. Didn’t need a full kitchen. Jenn the host is wonderful. She welcomed us on our arrival. Easy check in. She gave us great tips on how to get around and explore the area including Acadia park. Very informative and gracious host. We highly recommend and would stay again!
My husband and I had a fabulous stay. We enjoyed being on the quiet side of the Island. The suit had everything we needed and was extremely comfortable. Jenny was an amazing host and made us feel very welcomed. I highly recommend her place.
A wonderful property for an adult couple. Beautiful views, amazing location for easy access to outdoor activities. We kayaked, hiked, biked ans swam in less traveled venues within 10 minutes of this property. Jen was a wonderful host and a great resource regarding sights to see!
We stayed at the property for 6 days. Beautiful property, by the water, and breathtaking view of the sunset. Jennifer is very friendly and hospitable. We loved the area, the property and the host. So, it is on our list to book for next summer.
The house was super lovely and very clean. The views are outstanding! Perfect for watching sunset. Not far from Acadia NP and the host was super helpful with any questions we had. Highly recommend
My wife and I stayed here for our first wedding anniversary while hiking in Acadia National Park and also visiting Bar Harbor. It sits right on the ocean and has a beautiful sunset! It was perfect!
Great week in this beautiful tranquil spot. Well away from the busyness of Bar Harbor - the perfect recharge location. Property fabulously prepared, Jennifer wonderfully attentive to every detail. Could not have been better! Highly recommended.
Words can not do this location justice.From the peacful changing of the tides, driving on back roads, spotting deer ,eagles. Every direction and day was an adventure. Jennifer far outshines other hostess we have had. She had pages printed out for us on places to see and go which she verbally added to during our stay. Our rooms were very tastefully decorated. The bedding was dreamy to sleep in all night. The shower was bright and airy.
The unit was beautiful with lots of charm. The property is right next to the cove, where there is little traffic or tourists. If you are looking for an elegant place to stay and rejuvenate between long hikes are other outdoor activities this is the place to stay. Local restaurants and stores are around 15 mins drive away and Bar Harbour is 30.
If you love nature and peace and quiet, you'll love this! Right on Seal Cove, walking distance to a picnic area with views of lobster boats, rocky beach, amazing sunsets, and surrounding isles. Our host was fabulous, knowledgeable about the island (she's a native), and very welcoming! The porch provided amazing views, and it was replete with binoculars for great sea life spotting! We love how we could still get around the island and return to a quiet retreat. We thought we'd miss having a kitchen, but in reality, we visited Mount Desert Island for the seafood. Picked up some groceries for breakfast and snacks on the way to the island from Bangor, and we were good to go! Perfect vacation for couples! A full constellation of stars for this retreat!
Staying on this property was a dream.
Jennifer is an amazing host, and human as well!
The property itself was bright, clean, and gave a very luxurious feel.
Being able to wake up and walk down the driveway to watch the sunrise and sunsets was just incredible.
Only about a half hour from bar harbor and Acadia was far enough from the tourist traps and crowds.
I hope to return again!
Jennifer's house is hidden behind the bushes which stand tall in front of the amazing water view. The area is super quiet and secluded if you're looking for a getaway from the house. The apartment like floor is 10x better than any hotel I've ever stayed at! Don't forget a screened in porch up top is included and you can watch the Sunday flicker across the water as it sets behing the mountain. Will likely stay again in the future!
The property is the bottom floor of a house, with a living room, bedroom, and bath. Jennifer was very welcoming and helpful. The property is about 25 minutes from Bar Harbor, which was blessing because it avoids the crowds. But it is easy to get to some great hikes.
Tranquil Luxury for Two Overlooking Seal Cove with it’s Peaceful Maritime and Wildlife Activity
A thoughtfully designed property, luxuriously furnished and appointed to enhance a restful vacation.
The boat launch at Seal Cove was less than a then minute walk away and a great place to start the day with a cup of coffee in hand [Nespresso machine at property].
Located on the southwestern side of MDI, it was an easy journey to visit Acadia National Park, Long Pond and Bass Harbor lighthouse.
The property owner was extremely welcoming, exceptionally accommodating, very resourceful and a real pleasure to meet.
We would absolutely stay at this property again.
This was just the perfect place for our 10 year anniversary. We could not have asked for a better hostess, Jennifer really helped to make this the comfortable, peaceful getaway we really needed! The sunsets are amazing, the beach and waves are literally steps away and the sounds of the birds and the water really help to take your stress away. The location is perfect. We highly recommend a stay here, you will not be disappointed. Thank you Jennifer!
We had the best experience staying in Jennifer's VRBO! Everything was impeccably clean. The bedding was comfortable and inviting after long days of hiking. This place had everything we needed to rest between our adventures. Jennifer made us feel at home and was a very kind and gracious host. It was wonderful making a new friend!
And DO NOT miss out on the opportunity to gaze at the starry night skies right outside! AMAZING!
