The Seawall is a naturally occurring granite, loose boulder and rock seawall with easy shore walks and tidepools to explore. The property sits directly across from it and is a short distance to the park's picnic area. From the apartment's balcony, you can watch the waves crash on the rugged shoreline and watch the sunrise over the Great Cranberry Island. On a clear night, it is one of the best places in the country for stargazing.

Just beyond the scenic area, you'll approach two of many walking trails of Acadia: Ship Harbor and Wonderland. Each is less than a two-mile hike along the ocean and nature trails. A short drive from these trails is the Bass Harbor Lighthouse that has been guiding mariners with its light since 1858. The dramatic setting, especially at sunset, is a photographer's dream!

Come enjoy what Acadia has to offer! Stay with us for a relaxing experience! Book now!

Great Place to Stay!
It was cloudy, foggy, rainy most of our week in Maine, but our condo made all the difference, being a cozy, comfortable place to hang out when the weather wasn't cooperative. Great view of the ocean front and seawall. Condo was nicely appointed with all the conveniences. Only thing lacking was a pizza cutter. Would go back in a heatbeat.

Lovely place on the Quiet Side
You can't beat the view: the Atlantic Ocean right out the window, along with ponds for viewing the Great Blue Heron. Very clean, well-equipped, and comfortable unit and a great place to relax after walks in Acadia.

Perfect in many ways
Perfect, brand new condo, perfectly situated for exploring Acadia. Also perfect just to sit on balcony and watch the ocean and wildlife. We all had a fantastic vacation. Very well, and thoughtfully supplied, and very comfortable. Lovely staff to deal with. We were sad to leave!

We couldn’t have asked for better location, people, and place. Gorgeous just like the pics. Would be an amazing place for a large group like a family reunion or even just a couple. Hope to be back!

Stunning Panoramic View
We spent hours on the deck, watching the birds, waves and boats. One night there was a beaver nibbling on the cat tails, and a deer walking down the road. The iconic Seawall stone beach and the border to the National Park are one minute away. Inside the kitchen has every amenity. Management is very responsive - we ran out of gas for the grill, and a replacement was delivered the next morning. This place is a gem. Added bonus: Charlotte's Lobster Pound, ~ a mile away.

Sublime views and fresh decor
Excellent experience. Photos accurately represent the property. The views off the deck are amazing any time of day. Property seemed recently constructed, fresh paint, new appliances, nice furniture. Even though a road runs out front, it is not highly traveled and we heard barely and road noise despite sleeping with the windows open. We can't wait to come back!

best vacation ever
This property did not disappoint!! The views of the ocean when you first walk in are breathtaking. The condo was beautiful and tastefully decorated with all the linens, paper towels, and toilet paper provided!! There was also a welcome bag from the owners for a personal touch. We felt so welcomed!! We have never been to Bar Harbor before and the location was the best because it was on the quietside, so away from the noise of crowded Bar Harbor but close enough to Bar Harbor -30 minutes-that we could get to do other things and not travel too far. We spent mornings drinking coffee on the deck and nights sipping wine. We got up early one morning to see the sunrise by just walking right across the street -it was perfect. I highly recommend Sea Star and we hope to come back again in the next year or 2. Thank you so very much!!!

Shining Sea Star
Sitting on the deck you can see the ocean on your left, and spend hours watching the boats sail by, the lobstermen tending to their traps, and the waves crashing on the rocky shore. On your right is Seawall Pond, with ducks, beaver, seagulls, frogs, and the occasional deer. The stars on a clear night are amazing (bring a blanket to wrap up in for cool nights). The kitchen is equipped with all the essentials, though we mostly used it for reheating leftovers from all the great restaurants in the area. The Sea Star is one of 3 rental properties, and is the one with the most stairs - hence the great view. It’s accessed by driving into the parking lot for the Seawall Motel, which is right behind you and clearly visible from the bedroom windows. We didn’t mind that, and actually had an emergency shipment delivered to the office - the staff are extremely helpful, in typical Maine fashion.

Every morning we woke up to a breathtaking view--the fog, the boats and the ocean.
My husband and I are seasoned travelers to Mt. Desert Island. I have been coming with my parents since the 1970's and my husband and I started vacationing together on the island in the late 1980's. We loved the quietness of this spot. The view from the balcony was spectacular. The rock beach area, with its creatures, was entertainment for our 10 year old. We loved being able to cook our breakfast and then take a vigorous walk in the morning. And cooking our dinners at night was relaxing after an active day. We felt we ate healthier than going to a restaurant for all our meals. We could get good food to grill from the local grocery stores and fish or lobster from Beal's Lobster Pier in SW Harbor. When we have stayed in Bar Harbor we do less driving than staying at this location. So, staying here we drove more to take ferries or boating excursions from Bar Harbor and Northeast Harbor. But, that was not bothersome to us. For our time at the Condo was so relaxing. The condo view was joyful. We saw many birds on the pond off of our balcony. We even saw otters swimming in the pond. The condo was exceedingly clean and very well decorated. We found it to be stocked with everything we needed. I had brought my own spices and herbs to cook our dinners with and that was a sound idea. All the cooking pan and dish types were available in the up-to-date and higher end kitchen. We had 4 adults and a 10 year old stay in the Condo and we never felt cramped or crowed. The owners we very gracious and exceedingly positive hosts. They were a joy to talk to and went out of their way to please us and add a peacefulness to our stay. We definitely plan to go back. It is a true gem on the island.
