Quintessential Maine Summer Cottage with Private Shore Path

Although not fancy, this was a fun place to stay. The location was wonderful and within about a 30 min drive of Bar Harbor. Deer were often sighted in the yard including one taking a nap under a huge tree while it was raining. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was fully stocked. I believe I even saw a fondue pot in the dining room cabinet. If you desire Ritz Carlton, this isn't the place for you. If you want a place that is relaxing and has charm it is!

This cottage was a great charming escape for our trip to Mt Desert island. There was a lovely welcome gift on arrival, plenty of space, and it was an easy walk to the beach. Also a picnic table at the beach for lunches. It’s located not far from Acadia trails and down the road from restaurants and town.

Beautiful location, quiet, peaceful and away from the crowds in Bar Harbor. Loved the deer, got very close. Thanks

In a last minute attempt to escape Hurricane Ian, my family of eight—myself, adult children, significant others, ninety plus year old parents—switched our vacation to Bar Harbor, a favorite. We found the tastefully and creatively decorated rustic cottage of Sunnymead in Seawall. We were greeted with a delicious blueberry pie from a nearby bakery and our hosted responded promptly to house issues throughout the week. The home reminded me of my parents—beautiful with years of history and physical aging. The location on the southern part of the island provided us with new hiking trails, scenery, shops, and eateries. Our favorite dining spot was Dry Dock. Even though the water was not visible, on a short meandering walk you arrive at a beautiful beach and view. We were thankful to find a place to accommodate our large group during the busy fall season

Loved the location for visiting Acadia National Park. House well stocked. Nicely furnished. Plenty of towels and bedding. Enjoyed our stay.

We booked Sunnymead for a family trip, and oh my, what a perfect property! Plenty of room, nice room layout. Stocked with anything you could need to enjoy the perfect, relaxing Maine retreat. Kids loved the front yard swing, and watching the deer in the yard. The property is on the quiet side of the island, with plenty to do, but limited crowds. Property owner is responsive and pleasant, and even left a lovely local bakery welcome treat for our family! We spent most our trip debating if we could stay forever. Highly recommend, would book again!

We planned to go to Ireland but due to COVID-19 decided to stay state side. We weren't disappointed. House fit our large group of adult couples very well. Short walk to the water. Kitchen had everything we needed. Beds we're comfortable.

We loved our week at Sunnymead Cottage, the house was just perfect and it was incredibly relaxing for my family. I highly recommend this home.

House is very large, great for a group. We were a family of ten and fit comfortably. The kitchen had all the necessities. Adorable quaint town to grab food and shop a bit. When you want the hustle and bustle it’s a short drive to Bar Harbor. The host was really nice and very responsive. This home is large yet cozy, very rustic. Acadia is a beautiful vacation spot!

Just as lovely as when we first stayed here 13 years ago!
