Wonderful fall weekend

We had a wonderful fall weekend at the Sunny Saltbox. Perfectly located for enjoying both the quiet side of the island and the busy side. Very comfortable accommodations, which were perfect for family.

Wonderful Property

We were impressed with the service provided by Mountain Sea Properties. They were very prompt in answering queries and providing all the relevant information before our trip. The property was spotless when we checked in. The location was wonderful. We highly recommend it for those looking for a place to stay on Mt. Desert Island.

The property was absolutely perfect for our needs as a family of 7.

This house was stocked with everything you might need on vacation! And the location was great as well. We loved the back yard and watching for wildlife. We got to see a raccoon! We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful home, fully outfitted to make your visit to Acadia easy

This is a lovely home, with up to date and comfortable mattresses. It is fully appointed with pots, pans and all the cooking items you could possibly need. Perfect for our family group, made our visit to the National Park easy and very comfortable.

Perfect MDI Retreat

Beechwood is perfectly located—15 min to Bar Harbor and 15 min to Bass Harbor. We liked being on the “quiet side” of the island easy access to Acadia house is a home, with all the amenities we needed, including extra towels for our Echo ledges adventure.

Lovely Hide-a-way

The home was just as described and worked out perfectly for our (extended) family of 6. plus our dog. There was no shortage of amenities and we enjoyed gathering around the huge table for meals and board games. The property is close to many park entrances, grocery stores, and is a short car ride to Bar Harbor. Just off a main street, the home itself is secluded and on a quiet road. We enjoyed the deck as well. All-in-all a great place to stay when visiting beautiful Arcadia. :-)

Great property for a family vacation

The house looked just like the pictures and was clean, well stocked and well maintained. We loved the deck in the back overlooking the marsh especially in the shady mornings. The grill was great and the kitchen had all the dishes and utensils needed for a crowd. Loved the air conditioning because the upstairs bedrooms could get hot at night. The manager of the property was outstanding and always responded promptly. They also had a good website. We would love to return again next year.

Well stocked and in good condition

We rented this house over the Memorial Day long weekend, with another family; four adults, two kids and a baby fit very comfortably. Everything was clean and in good condition, and the place was well stocked - even the kitchen and bathrooms. There was a huge grill on the patio in great shape, and even the knives in the kitchen were sharp. Communication with Jen was easy and she was very helpful with info. You should have no reservations about renting this place.

Pleasant and/but Homey

The property was very nice - we were grateful that it was available during early summer. The house was homey - not resort-like, and as advertised. We felt that there could have been more, and more comfortable indoor furniture (sofas, recliners, etc.) for a house that could possibly accommodate 8 people. The kitchen was clean and had everything we needed, but not spacious - again, homey. We were not dissatisfied at all, but also not "pleasantly surprised" as we have been at some other properties.

Mount Desert Family Get Away

This is really a charming place that says "Maine" all over it! At first I wasn't sure about the location as its about a 15 or 20 minute drive from Bar Harbor. But it turned out to be perfect as Bar Harbor turned out to be incredibly busy and congested with traffic. So this location was really peaceful and offered easy access to Acadia National Park. It also offered the opportunity to discover the west side of Somes sound. There is some really great hiking there and the nearby town of Southwest Harbor is absolutely charming. The house itself is well appointed and has everything needed for a comfortable stay. The communication with the manager was also fabulous as the day before our arrival a storm had knocked out power to the area. So we were well apprised of what was going on ahead of check out. I would certainly recommend this property to anyone visiting the area.

Perfect for our family

We stayed here as part of a family vacation with my husband, mother, sister, and aunt. My mother has an ankle injury so it was great to find a house with bedrooms and bathrooms on the main level, and easy entry through the front door. It was equipped with everything we needed, including some games and puzzles, and we especially appreciated having a washer & dryer. The property manager was very helpful and responsive. When we couldn’t find a tea kettle, she brought us one within half an hour The house is centrally located on the island so very easy to get to Acadia, Bar Harbor, Southwest Harbor, or off the island, but in a nice quiet area. We were glad we decided to stay here rather than in Bar Harbor. Only a few minor quibbles. Some of the bedroom & bathroom windows don’t have curtains or blinds, and there aren’t enough places to hang towels. There is only enough comfortable seating for 5 people in the living area, so it might be awkward for a larger group. Oh, and a few unwelcoming spiders when we first arrived, including one that built a web across the front door. Overall, the house worked well for us and we would definitely consider staying there again if we return to MDI.

What a gem of a place and of a property manager!

We were so lucky to come across Mountain Sea Properties and the property Beechwood. We were out of electricity (for days!) and Jen had Beechwood open for our use. We were able to move in, get warm, catch up on laundry, cook meals, and finally feel at home, even though it was a home away from home. What a respite! The house was super clean, beds made, and towels laid out! Everything was there you could ever need including local guide sheets/maps, dishes, games, and books. The location on the island is perfect- 15 min from the bustle of Bar Harbor and 10 min from the quaint South West Harbor. The House was super cozy, yet roomy enough for our family, and could have easily accommodated more. Jen was amazing to get us in on such a strange schedule and was so amenable, warm, and the perfect host- there when needed, but left us alone when we were doing our own thing. She even came by to check on the hot water heater right before bedtime when we had troubles getting hot showers (a minor problem because of the generator use). All was fixed in no time! I wish we could have been able to stay for longer, and extend the staycation to enjoy all of which Mountain Sea Properties has to offer, so many extras available like- guided hikes, grocery delivery, and full luxe packages! Jen is so organized and useful, a true gem of the island. We were thrilled to utilize Mountain Sea Properties and hope to take advantage of their incredible properties again in the future. We highly recommend them without hesitation!

Home away from home

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Beechwood. The view from the deck each morning of the fall colors and misty fog layer was truly memorable. As promised, the home was cozy and comfortable, a place to relax and recharge after a day in Acadia National Park and the surrounding area. We found the location to be close to the park, restaurants, and shops, but also off the main road just enough to provide quiet surroundings. The kitchen had everything we needed to make some simple meals. All in all, it was a great place for us to stay.

Family fun in Maine

The property was clean and exactly what we expected. Bedroom and bathroom set up was perfect for 4 adults and 1 baby. 2 of us traveled solo, so you could easily add spouses and still be comfortable. The location is excellent. Easy drive to hike in Acadia and sight see all over the island. Only 15 mins to Bar Harbor for shopping, and eating! I highly recommend this property.

Beautiful views off back deck

This is a charming and spacious home with 4 comfy bedrooms. The views of the marsh off the back deck were beautiful and peaceful and a wonderful place to enjoy an early morning coffee. There were lots of amenities from spices to kids games and they provided plenty of information on the area. We truly enjoyed our stay! The location is also very convenient to accessing the whole island. Thank you for sharing your property with us!
