The Space:
This stunning property has everything you may need for a romantic vacation! There is a sandy beach, gorgeous sunsets, and a fire pit for those nightly chats while stargazing under the clear Maine skies.
Relax on the spacious lawn playing lawn games like you did in your childhood. Rent kayaks and take a morning tour of the cove as the tide comes in, or take a drive to nearby trails to hike in the clean air.
Enjoy the nearby fishing towns, local lobster co-ops and farmers stands as you venture out to explore, or check out Petite Manan a wildlife refuge with puffins and trails .
There are great restaurants minutes away, ice cream, shops, bicycle and kayak rentals and a ferry right to Bar Harbor. This is truly a Maine experience in a small fishing town with the coziness of a clean and spacious Maine waterfront Cottage.
First floor:
A full and super clean kitchen with all of the appliances and cooking supplies you may need, and that view!
The living room has a queen sized pull out sofa and doors, which can be used as a second bedroom for those extra guests.
The first floor has a full remodeled bathroom with a walk in shower.
The kitchen walks out to a deck for your morning coffee with the loons, eagles, and wildlife waking up too. Watch for seals playing in the tide, and deer grazing in the yard at dusk.
Second floor:
Main bedroom with a king bed, plenty of room and storage. There are two chairs to read, or just take in the sunshine over the waterfront view. This romantic bedroom is spacious and comfortable.
There is a full bathroom with a tub shower.

Our experience at the Beachy Watering Cove Cottage and Acadia was outstanding. The cottage was very clean, roomy, and very comfortable. Susan Luke was very easy to work with and took care of our every need. The property had outstanding views and we enjoyed an outdoor fire every night while taking in the sunset and massive star display. The hiking paths and natural landscapes at Acadia National Park are second to none. Our stay at the cottage far exceeded our expectations .
The house was clean and cozy! Perfect for our trip. We ventured out to Acadia and to the Canadian border and the house was a great central location! The views from the house are beautiful! We would for sure stay again if we venture back to the area!
The property is in a quiet neighborhood which we liked very much and the beach access was amazing. Also the house was super stocked with everything we possibly could need and more. Only down side is the lack of air conditioning but seems most nights are cool enough to do without.
This was an extremely nice place for our vacation. It has everything you could possibly want or need. Great location, close to Schoodic Point which is one of our favorite sites. Several place to eat; so no cooking was also a plus for us. The weather was great and the price was great for the high quality of the home. The privacy was also a plus. We enjoyed sitting at sea side watching the changing tides.
The property is wonderful for couples of any age. The cottage was immaculately clean when we arrived. The appliances were all clean and functioning perfectly. It is a great location for accessing all the region has to offer, though we also enjoyed many hours just relaxing at the property, either on the beach or just above in chairs, or enjoying the cottage. We would certainly consider staying there again.
Relaxing clean and cozy retreat in a quiet setting
Bed was VERY comfortable
All amenities well supplied
Upstairs bathroom needs modernizing
We should not need to go down severely steep steps to basement washing machine to start towel load upon departure
The property manager messages were obnoxiously frequent and unnecessary most of the time
This cute little house was just the right size for my husband and me. The neighborhood was very quiet and relaxing. However, the drawback of that is that it is at least a 30 minute drive to get to anywhere. Bar Harbor is an hour's drive (and we were not in peak season - it is probably longer if we had been). There were a few things to do closer, but you still had to drive as there are no shoulders on the road and consequently walking felt treacherous. This is not a criticism of the property - if your intention is to relax this is a wonderful place to do it!
Location in the cove was peaceful and scenic. House was so cozy. Kitchen and bedding needs were well stocked. I loved the artwork in all the rooms ! We would highly recommend this cottage !(we were there Oct 3-6)
Excellent location close to the Schoodic peninsula (scenery, hiking, etc.). Plus easy access to the ferry to Bar Harbor from nearby Winter Harbor. The cottage is charming with a view of Prospect Harbor. Sleeps 4 and also perfect for 2 people. There are several good restaurants including Lunch on the Wharf in Corea, and the Treehouse Grill in Winter Harbor. Stop in at the Pickled Wrinkle too!

Owners provided a clean space
Property manager’s primary function seems to be sending automated messages that repeat fees for late checkout. Spent the first night/morning figuring out how to a) get water on b) how to get hot water to work. Information in “welcome” book in addition to pages of for late checkout, starts with 3 pages of rules and penalties, no information on how to deal with water. Inconsistent information about exact internet password. Liked th house, really not sure what value property manager offered.
