Large 7BR family home on the oceanfront, great for reunions and gatherings.

New for 2026 - a newly remodled high end kitchen. Picture Soon!
Enjoy the best of the Maine coast by spending your vacation on the ocean! With loads of space and plenty of character, this legacy home is ready for your extended family to vacation together under one roof and enjoy a spectacular spot on the shore of Frenchman's Bay. About 7 miles north of the village of Bar Harbor and 5 from the Park Visitor Center in Hulls Cove, it's convenient to the attractions of Acadia National Park and Mt. Desert Island, while being extremely private.
Park-like grounds feature a story-book stone overlook on the expanse of the Bay, with steps down to the water for swimming and exploring.

The house has three continuous levels: on the lower floor, there is a bright king bedroom suite with a beautiful granite fireplace and eastern views of the water (great for sunrises), two small sitting rooms with daybeds, a full kitchen with laundry, and full bath. The lower floor opens onto a large brick patio and sprawling oceanfront lawn.

The main floor has a spacious living room with wonderful large granite fireplace, cathedral ceiling, built-in shelves with hundreds of books about Maine or by local authors, and comfortable furnishings; attached is the sun porch providing spectacular ocean views, and a 'card room' with windows all around, great for family game night. A huge family kitchen occupies much of the main floor, fully-equipped and featuring water views, cathedral ceiling, a large island, and outdoor deck with stairs down to the lower patio and lawn.

Four bedrooms of all sizes are on the main floor, including three with attached bathrooms (1 with claw-foot tub, 2 with showers); one is a large primary suite with king bed, sitting/desk area and wheelchair accessible full bath. The remaining three bedrooms on the main level include one with a queen bed, another with two twin beds, and a third with a single bed. There is an additional half bath and a laundry closet off the hallway. The main floor is wheelchair accessible from an entry near the parking area.

Upstairs are two large wood-paneled rooms with gabled ceilings, one with a queen bed and single w/trundle, the other a sitting room with window seats, TV and multiple sofas (no bathroom on this level).

Sullivan Cove has ceiling fans and portable fans and is well ventilated. There are pleasant cooling breezes blowing off the ocean in the evening. This property does not have air-conditioning currentlly.

You can bring as many as 12 family members and still have plenty of room --depending on the makeup of your party (# of adults and # and ages of kids), the owners permit up to 14 total guests ($100/ea for 13th & 14th guest over 1 year old).

    House is very spacious. Sitting in sunroom looking at ocean was very relaxing. Many eagle and deer sightings.

    The house had plenty of space for our 3 families and although the listing shows only 2 showers (and a bath) there was a 3rd shower on the basement level. The house was homey and quirky and the basement was a little bit damp but it worked out well for our visit.

    This was a beautiful family home in a wonderfully quiet location right on the cove. Sunrises were spectacular. The house was equipped with anything one would need to stay, with extras such as games and puzzles. We appreciated the use of the washer/dryer also. Home was large and more than accommodating for our group of 7. Nice 10 minute drive into Bar Harbor. We had a couple of housekeeping issues, but nothing that we couldn't handle ourselves, and reported at the end of the stay so that they could be corrected afterward. The staff at Acadia Rentals were very pleasant to speak with. Overall, a very comfortable stay and would stay again if we were back in the area.

    You can’t beat the location of this property. The secluded spot, the views from nearly every room, the access to the water and the proximity to both Acadia and Bar Harbor made this stay so wonderful, especially with small kids who couldn’t handle being in the car for long periods of time. We had everything we needed in the house and plenty of space for our group of 12 (9 adults and 3 kids from 4 different households). We loved being able to all cook and eat together in the large kitchen/dining area. The house came with so much for those traveling with small children; we were pleasantly surprised to even find toys and children’s books when we arrived. However, I would not consider the house “childproofed” so keep that in mind as you plan. The house was old and though charming did come with the issues that are to be expected from an older home especially in a damp area - mainly just old home smells. If there are two types of rental homes - those made to be more for rentals and made to be neutral in decor more like a hotel, and those that are more like staying in someone’s actual home - then this home is the latter, complete with family pictures and all. Both the kids and adults in the group loved exploring the rocky shore at low tide and we were so glad we had brought some binoculars for wildlife viewing. As an added bonus there was a very cute groundhog living in the backyard that our 3 year old named “Salami”. She has talked about Salami every day since our visit.

    The house was fully stocked with everything we needed. My father who was in a wheel chair was able to move around easily too. There was plenty of room to spread out. Thanks for a fabulous vacation!
