The Sea Chimes House is a newly constructed 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom home in Cutler, Maine.
This house is located on scenic Holmes Bay with wide open views of the water. You will find yourself gazing out the windows of this home because the Sea Chimes boasts water views from almost every room in the house.
If open views to the water are the Maine experience that you are searching for, then this is your property. As soon as you drive into the property you are struck by the beauty of the Downeast coast.
The front lawn of the house is a rolling field with places to sit and enjoy the views. The house offers an outdoor fire pit as a wonderful evening gathering place. Spend time telling stories around the fire or sit and enjoy gazing at the stars. If sitting on the deck is more your style, the Sea Chimes offers this as well. Pass the time reading your favorite book or watching wildlife, boats and the harvest of clams on the bay.
The Sea Chimes House can accommodate 6-8 people comfortably on three separate floors. The master bedroom with king bed and private bathroom is located on the second floor. The ¾ wall allows for views of the water from two sides of the house. Lounge in bed and take in the water views from daybreak to sundown.

The kitchen offers a full sized refrigerator, gas oven, breakfast bar, dishwasher, microwave, Keurig coffee maker, toaster, dishes, pots & pans, glasses, etc. Settle in and discover your inner chef in this sunny, inviting room. The dining area is an extension of the kitchen and blends this area easily into the living room space. The focal point of the living room is a beautiful wood burning fireplace. Relax in front of the fire or spend time watching your favorite movie on the flat screen TV (satellite connection).
Guests that visit our area of Downeast Maine are certainly outdoor enthusiasts. The Sea Chimes House caters to that sense of adventure as well as those looking for comfort and elegance. Bring your kayak and launch easily from the property to explore the shoreline. If hiking is more your style, you will find several excellent hikes close by. Explore the Bold Coast trails, Western Head trail or Boot Head Preserve which are just a short drive from the property. These trails are nothing short of spectacular and are a “must visit”.
The Sea Chimes House is located only 10 minutes away from beautiful Cutler harbor where visitors can buy fresh lobsters or board the Barbara Frost for a trip out to Machias Seal Island where the Atlantic Puffins gather.
Guests can also visit scenic Lubec where West Quoddy Head lighthouse is located and its wonderful coastal hiking trail. Just across the bridge from Lubec is Canada's Campobello Island with its terrific golf course, quiet fishing hamlets, and towering East Quoddy Head light house where whales are often seen spouting in the distance.
Both Lubec and Campobello Island are only 30 minutes from Sea Chimes. Also, New Brunswick, Canada is only 1 hour and 15 minutes away and Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park are just 2 hours from the house. Both destinations are easy day trips from the property.

Beautiful cabin on the Bay! What a great place to spend our 40th wedding anniversary. The property was fantastic. The private beach was great. We spent hours beach combing and star gazing at night. We will definitely be back. Clean rooms and a great host to work with!

The house was perfect. The location was perfect. Overall the weather was pretty good for mid October. Got lobster on two different occasions from a local fisherman and it was fantastic. The only complaint we had was the local property manager was not very responsive. Other than that this property is a 10 out of 10.

Beautiful, amazing almost 360* Holmes Bay views. Cozy cabin with plenty of bedrooms/bathrooms and dog friendly! Our pups loved the rolling landscape and path down to the water! We visited many towns along the coast and up north. Scenic and peaceful and everything we were hoping for! Pure joy!!!

We are so happy that your stay was a good one! The views are wonderful from the Sea Chimes House!
Lovely home surrounded by meadow with fantastic views of the bay. There are things to do close by, especially hiking with a nearby coastal trail that runs over 5 miles. Or just sit and watch the bay - bald eagles, osprey, all kinds of shorebirds; we even saw seals hunting walking the shore near sunset. Cannot say enough.

The perfect place for relaxation and reconnection with adult children! Sunsets, countless stars, practically 360 water views, the fire pit, and that wraparound deck!!!

Stayed here last year and loved it so much we stayed again.
We were not disappointed! Beautiful location and a great home.
Plenty of room for the three couples who went. We all enjoyed the local fresh seafood and relaxing in the large yard playing games and enjoying a campfire. The owners are great and had everthing there we needed. Highly recomend this property.

My family and I had a wonderful vacation at the Sea Chimes house! It was so peaceful and relaxing. The views were incredible and the sunsets were amazing. My dog loved it too! We will definitely return to Sea Chimes.

Hi Sandy,
Thanks for your kind review. We are so pleased that you enjoyed Sea Chimes. Being able to relax on vacation is absolutely wonderful! Our area tends to be quiet, so relaxation just seems to follow naturally.
We would love to have you return some day!
My family thoroughly enjoyed our week! The location was beautiful and serene, and the views were amazing. The house was spacious, very clean, and met all of our needs. When at the house we spent the majority of our time on the deck and shared the yard with deer, turkeys, and at least ten babies who were fun to watch. We hiked nearby and took day trips to Lubec, Campobello Island, and St. Andrews NB, all short drives away. It truly was the perfect getaway, and we would definitely stay again!

Great home for our family vacation! We enjoyed the location and being able to make day trips to Bar Harbor and Lubec, as well as all of the local hiking. We took the Acadia puffin boat tour which was fantastic. Saw a seal lounging on rocks during one of our hikes as well. Loved exploring the shore and having campfires in the evening. The house was clean and offered us plenty of space! Thank you for sharing your home with us. We hope to visit Maine again!

We arrived late last Saturday night and got out of the car to a sky filled with beautiful stars and the the Milky Way visible! We woke up the next morning to a gorgeous view all the way around the house! It was a great spot to spend the week. We enjoyed daily walks on the beach, digging clams and muscles, and sitting around the fire pit at night. Great location for day trips too! We went south to Acadia/Bar Harbor and north to Lubec. Thanks for sharing your house!
