Salsbury Cove House | Oceanfront home only 2 miles to Acadia Natl Park & close to downtown Bar Harbor

2 Bedroom House in Salsbury Cove, Bar Harbor

Let Shellseekers Cottage be your home away from home for your Acadia getaway during the quiet time here on the island. From October through April, this home offers 2 bedrooms accommodating up to 5 guests, a fully equipped kitchen, dining room, and a large living room overlooking the ocean. The Queen bedroom has ocean and mountain views, and also has an attached full bathroom. The 2nd bedroom has a full-sized bed and a twin size bed.
There is no place on Earth like the solitude of the Maine coast. Come find your slice of serenity along the iconic rocky shoreline at Shellseekers Cottage. Privately located on its own stretch of beachfront in beautiful Mount Desert Island, and only minutes away from downtown village shops of Bar Harbor, this beach house offers an escape like no other. Take in that fresh ocean air from your secluded deck overlooking Frenchman's Bay and the granite summits of Schoodic Mountain in the distance. For beach lovers, take a stroll down the woodland path from your back door, and descend the staircase to explore the quiet rocky beach, home to sea caves and rock sculptures. The ocean has been the artist here.
"Shellseekers" gets its name from the bountiful treasures that flow in and out with the tides. Because this stretch of shoreline has no public access, the sand dollars, sea glass and shells are plentiful at low tide. This is an ecologically rich and unique coastline at your fingertips, offering solitude, seabirds, and the occasional sailboat. Kids and adults alike will enjoy the series of trails that wind down, from the ocean views through the mossy woods. An enchanted forest can be discovered, and added to from the treasures you find on the beach below.
Acadia National Park, which is MDI's crown jewel, is right at your fingertips. The park entrance is 2 miles from your front door. If you are an outdoor enthusiast and nature lover, you will enjoy the miles of coastal walks, mountain hikes, cross country skiing, all in close proximity.
Let Shellseekers Cottage be your home away from home.

Summary: Awesome little cottage! Great location to the park! Sherri was an extremely great host! We look forward to staying there again! I definitely recommend it!
Mary S. Apr 30, 2024 08:39:21 PM
Summary: Wow! the views were amazing as soon as we opened the front door, loved the trail going down to the beach, we went down every low tide. Found lots of shells. Saw a bald eagle fly over as well. Close to town and the park. Great vacation :)
Holly K. Oct 10, 2023 12:25:37 AM
Summary: We had an amazing time at Shell Seekers! The house was perfect for our two families with kids and the beach access and view were amazing. You are minutes from Acadia and Bar Harbor which is so convenient. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Summary: We stayed here for 5 nights while exploring Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. We absolutely loved Shellseekers Cottage! The location was perfect - near to Bar Harbor downtown, restaurants, and Acadia, but in an out-of -the-way private area. The beach access was great and our dogs especially enjoyed exploring during low tide. The view from the deck is gorgeous and a bald eagle came and visited for a couple hours one foggy morning. The beds in the cottage were some of the most comfortable we have encountered in all our travels, and the cottage was super clean. There were plenty of towels and extra fleece blankets, which was nice. All in all, Shellseekers was the perfect base for our adventures and we would definitely come back if our travels bring us back to Bar Harbor in future!

Summary: House was perfect for our family. Very clean - close access to Bar Harbor and carriage roads, but without the chaos of being in town. Short walk to a private beach with amazing caves and views. Found some sea glass and lots of sand dollars. Sheri had amazing communication and offered some fabulous local tips that were some of our favorite spots/hikes. A+ stay!

Summary: We had a wonderful first trip to MDI! While the house is not fancy, its immaculate, warm, comfortable, and perfectly located for all the things we wanted to do on our trip. The deck, views, and private beach were particularly great. After longs days of hiking and biking we loved coming back to the house to walk on the beach and enjoy the quiet of the back deck. We have never seen so many stars!! Furnishings were comfortable (including the beds), linens were great, and the host was incredibly helpful. Highly recommend, and hope to be back!

Summary: Our family has a wonderful trip and the shellseekers cottage was a great homemade. The location was perfect for exploring Acadia and Bar Harbor. The kids enjoyed the private beach and all the amazing sea life right out the back door. We spent mornings and nights on the deck overlooking the bay and watching the eagle land in the trees. Amazing trip that’ll we’ll remember for years to come!
Michael M. Jul 25, 2022 08:05:32 AM
Summary: Great views, beautiful shore, very comfortable home with upholstered sectional on the deck (why don’t more hosts think of that?). Above all, Sherri is a gracious host and very communicative and responsive. You can’t go wrong with this one!
Luke J. Jul 2, 2022 06:19:42 AM
Summary: The place is perfect. You can walk down to an amazing beach. There are views of ocean and mountains from the property. We will be back!
Tom J. Jun 29, 2022 10:59:10 PM
Summary: The location of the house was fantastic. It was so easy to access all parts of the island. The private beach access was such a huge treat every day. The character is so different with the changing tides. Sherri is a great host and the house was fully stocked with everything we needed. All we had to supply was food. We will definitely stay here again whenever we return.
