About this property

This private, gem of a year-round house on the water with a wonderful rocky beach overlooks sailboat races, working lobster boats, the Cranberry Islands and the mountains of Acadia. The views from the deck amaze and astound, making it hard to want to leave the property.

This 15 year old house is just five minutes from the delightful village of Southwest Harbor with restaurants & shopping. Even closer, pick up fresh cooked lobster or a lobster roll (and don't for get the blueberry pie) at the end of the driveway. Sit on your deck and enjoy some of the best views on Mt. Desert, including mountains and the Cranberry Islands.

Sand Dollar Cottage is located close to the hiking trails of Acadia National Park offering many opportunities for recreation: walking, hiking, climbing biking, kayaking, sailing...or just relaxing! The nearest trails are within one mile, Wonderland and Ship Harbor. The Acadia Mountain Trailhead is just 10 minutes away. The Cadillac Mountain Entrance is a 20-minute drive from the house.

The house is very comfortable and well equipped with new furniture and linens. Guests can search for shells and sea glass on the shore in front of the house..

On the Waterfront

Enjoyed watching the boats go by and tides coming in and out. We stayed in the downstairs bedroom with bath and our friends had the upstairs beds and bath to themselves. With 2 couples, we look for equal sleeping arrangements. I rode my bike into the village, where we bought some groceries, cheese, bakery and went to dinner a couple times. The kitchen was fine for cooking. We visited nearby Bar Harbor, but we were glad to be here, and away from the crowds.

Great Get-away

The property everything we had hoped for! Amazing water and island view in a quiet area, but still close to to shops & restaurants. The house was comfortable and well stocked, but our favorite spot was definitely the deck.

Beautiful spacious home with unbeatable view.

We took our elderly parents here for a week, and loved the fact that there was a master bedroom DOWNSTAIRS with a full bathroom, so that they did not need to go up and down any stairs to access their room. The deck has a stunning view and the neighborhood is extremely quiet. A bonus is that there's a seafood shack restaurant that you can walk to in 5 minutes. The house was clean and the owners were SUPER responsive when we needed to ask questions. Our only complaint was that the upstairs bathroom had a few quirky issues.

Stunning Property

This was our fourth time at the house, and we were so sad to leave. The place is always clean and inviting, and the views of the ocean and Acadia are second to none. Truly a special place, and we have made so many great memories there over the years. We hope to make it back again.
