Summary:

Mark's Waterfront Sea Cottage, NEW!

This charming oceanfront cottage offers the perfect coastal retreat, complete with a private beach and breathtaking views of Frenchman Bay. Large windows and a well-designed layout maximize the incredible ocean views, filling the space with natural light.

We had a phenomenal week at Marks’ Sea Cottage. The house was very clean and comfortable. Beds were also very comfortable. The property is stunning with a view of Jellison Cove/Frenchman’s Bay and Cadillac Mountain! Easy access to Acadia National Park, Schoodic Point and many excellent restaurant options. We definitely plan to return!

The view would be hard to beat at any other place, big windows with that beautiful view, watching the tide come in and out, and the mountains over the water, picture perfect. Convenient to Acadia, Bar Harbor, and many of the other quaint little towns. Place was clean, had everything we needed, very comfortable. Would have no problem coming back to Mark‘s place.

Beautiful view from a clean and cozy cottage right on the water! It was a bit warm when we arrived (early July, so not surprising) and the property manager immediately dropped off fans! Overall the stay was amazing and we will return!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write out a quick review! We like to keep our standards as high as possible to keep the guests happy and comfortable. We are always here to help, just say the word! Looking forward to helping plan out your next future vacation with us :) Also, another favorite time of the year is fall when the leaves of the trees have changed color, it is so breath takingly beautiful seeing the reflections of all those colors, off the water. Have a wonderful rest of your summer! Cheers!

We’ve developed quite the obsession for visiting coastal Maine in the fall and Mark’s Sea Cottage absolutely hit the spot! The views are magical! We spent hours upon hours watching the tides go in and out and the birds and ducks feeding and floating about. Even had a seal visit one morning! Acadia in the background was the cherry on top! Thank you Mark for sharing your cottage and thank you Simply Rentals for the hospitality!

Little Slice of Heaven!

My family of four (and our fur baby) stayed at Mark's the week of July 4th. What an AMAZING place! We loved that we could hear/see the lobster boats in the bay every morning. The incoming and outgoing tides were fun to watch as well. The house was perfect for our needs and extremely comfortable. The best part was being able to see the fireworks from the living room couch on the 4th! Everyone was extremely accommodating and communicative. We would love to stay at this house again.

How wonderful to hear about your experience here at the cottage being a very pleasant one! How special, to be able to sit there with the family while watching the fireworks over the water, as well as having a little piece of what Maine is known for every morning right outside (lobster boats). It sounds like it was an all around very rewarding experience for you and your family! We would be so pleased to see you guys come back again and to have the opportunity to serve ya'll on your next vacation!

Would give it 4.5 stars if I could. Love the location and views! Basically right between Acadia and Schoodic and lots of good food options nearby. Beds were comfortable and had plenty of fans if you need them. The master bathroom tub didn’t work and the shower was very small, just a heads up. They did not have bar soap if that’s important to you. Recommend Bar Harbor Lobster Pound and The Pickled Wrinkle for food. Only one issue when we ran out of dishwasher soap and they brought it by promptly. Loved the steps down to the ocean, made it easy for kids to access. Area was very peaceful and beautiful!! Would definitely stay again!

Thank you, Nathaniel, for your thoughtful feedback! We're thrilled you enjoyed the location and views. The tub in the master works, I am so sorry you did not reach out with questions. Guests have been enjoying the tub all season! Your comments help us improve, and we can't wait to welcome you back for another peaceful stay by the ocean!
