Tides-oceanfront cottage near Acadia

  • Tides Cottage is a beautifully situated waterfront retreat on a quiet tidal inlet in Bass Harbor near Acadia National Park. Designed for comfort and relaxation, this inviting coastal cottage offers peaceful water views, modern amenities, and the perfect location for exploring the quieter side of Mount Desert Island.

    The home features 3 bedrooms, each with it's own private bath, comfortably accommodating up to 6 people. The king bedroom includes a newly renovated tile walk-in shower, the twin bedroom also offers new tile walk-in shower and the queen bedroom features a shower stall.

    The open kitchen, dining, and living area is filled with natural light from vaulted ceilings and large windows facing east over the water. Relax by the cozy wood-burning fireplace after a day exploring Acadia or enjoy the comfort of both heating and air conditioning throughout the home.

    Outdoor living is just as special at Tides. The deck offers comfortable seating for morning coffee, waterfront dining, or taking in beautiful sunrises. Just off the front porch, guests can gather around the wood burning fire pit and enjoy meals off the grill at the picnic table.

    Guests also have access to a shared dock with the neighboring cottage, complete with kayaks and a rowboat. Conveniently located within walking distance of Archies lobster and close to many Acadia National Park hiking trails, Tides is also just three miles from the center of Southwest Harbor where you will find shops and restaurants.

    Whether you're seeking adventure in Acadia or a quiet place to unwind by the water, Tides Cottage is the perfect Maine coastal getaway

The pictures did not do the house or scenery justice. It was perfect in every way! We will definitely be back. The host was so nice and accommodating. We loved the location away from bar harbor but also close to the national park. We loved our stay here and can’t wait to come back.

Family vacation w/ adult kids

Absolutely loved the cottage and the waterfront location! Having coffee looking out over the water was so peaceful. Nicely renovated and found everything we needed. Not too far from Bar Harbor or Acadia landmarks.

This property perfectly met our needs as a family of 5. I was very impressed with how clean it was! We’ve rented many houses in various locations and this was probably the cleanest yet!! The kitchen was well equipped which we appreciated since we like to save some money on meals. If you are looking to do a lot at Acadia you should plan accordingly- took us about 25 minutes each way to get there and to bar harbor. I didn’t really think it was a big deal and since it was our first time as a family I didn’t know. It does add up. If you’re planning on being out all day and are prepared to do so it’s not a big deal. I do appreciate the quiet of this side of the island! We were pretty active with our three kids though.

Wonderful stay!

We had a wonderful week staying at this property. The area was very quiet, and the house was clean. The entire process (checking in and out) was seamless. If we ever come back to the area, we know where we will be staying! We have no negatives to say about this rental.

Nice small waterfront 3BR/3BA cottage that was great for 4 adults and two kids. There was a lobster pound within walking distance of the cottage too! Beds were comfortable and it was nice having en-suite bathrooms with each bedroom. The only negatives are: 1. two of the bedrooms have no air conditioning so on hot days it will be uncomfortable; 2. Two of the bathroom showers have no doors making it nearly impossible to not get water on the bathroom floors. 3. There is absolutely no “horizontal space” in the King Bedroom and bathroom except the two night stands and a suitcase stand. We had to place some items on the floor. 4. King bed bathroom sink is tiny (like something you see on an airplane) with no horizontal space for your toiletries. Other than that, everything was great…

Cute Little Cottage!

We enjoyed our stay! Everything we needed was there already. We didn’t really use the kayaks like we thought we would though because the timing of low tide didn’t really work with the other things we had scheduled for our stay, but it’s a cute place in a quiet location.

Great location-peaceful setting

We enjoyed The Tides Cottage immensely! The location is beautiful—we loved watching the birds and the effect of the tides. Mornings and evenings on the deck were delightful. The cottage is lovely, well equipped, and convenient to wonderful attractions but away from the bustle. Southwest Harbor is a friendly&fun place, Acadia always gorgeous, and the Bass Harbor Cruises provided a fantastic nature tour.

Great Little Cottage

We enjoyed our four nights at the cottage. It was very clean, well-maintained, and had some great touches - like the cabinet lighting in the kitchen and beautiful quartz countertops. The view from the deck was amazing, and we enjoyed watching the seagulls, ducks and geese in the mornings and evenings. The cottage was extremely close to Acadia National Park, allowing us access to multiple trail heads on the quiet side of MDI. Overall, a great stay.

The great add

Really enjoyed our stay at Tides Cottage. Lots of hiking and biking and kayaking. Ate lots of lobster from Thurstons and Charlotte’s and steamed our own on two nights. Ate marshmallows outside at the fire pit. The cottage was clean and peaceful and pretty conveniently located.

Lovely stay at Tides Cottage!

My husband and I absolutely loved our stay at Tides Cottage! It was the perfect place for us and our friends to unwind, relax and enjoy the beauty of MDI. The cottage has a gorgeous view of the ocean and we spent many afternoons sitting on the deck overlooking the water, listening to the birds and enjoying the Maine weather while sipping a glass of wine or bourbon. The recently updated kitchen was well equipped to allow us to cook our own meals, and having a gas grill was a huge plus! Centrally located to most attractions, the location could not have been more perfect for our vacation. We would certainly stay here again in a heart beat.

Perfect location to relax and adventure

Tides offered a delightful retreat tucked away amidst the woodland by the waterfront. We cherished the captivating sunrises and the refreshing, comfortable climate that made us feel right at home. Its convenient proximity, just a 40-minute drive to Bar Harbor and near Acadia Park, made it an ideal base for our explorations. A highlight of our trip was a visit to Jordan Pond House, where we indulged in their mouthwatering popovers; the lobster popover was truly extraordinary. We also ventured on a scenic two-hour drive to Lubec, a charming coastal town nestled near the Canadian border. The journey itself was a feast for the eyes, and the destination proved equally enchanting.
