Oceanfront Sullivan Cottage on 6 Acres w/ Kayak!

Escape to the serene shores of Sullivan with ‘Captain Jack’s Maine Vacation Shack!’ This 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom vacation rental cottage is situated on Flanders Bay with views of Cadillac Mountain. Enjoy the privacy of 6 acres of land, along with the convenience of being centrally located to Acadia, Bar Harbor, and more!

-- THE PROPERTY --

Bedroom 1: Queen Bed | Bedroom 2: Full Bed | Additional Sleeping: Twin Air Mattress

Follow your wanderlust to this charming cottage nestled on 6 rolling acres of peaceful woods and lush greenery. Built in 2011, this Sullivan home combines a classic New England Character with modern-day comforts to provide the perfect East Coast retreat.

Beach-themed decor and pickled oak wood cabinetry help bring the coastal essence of the outdoors inside. Prepare a hearty breakfast in the fully equipped kitchen before setting sail on Flanders Bay. Upon your return, effortlessly fry up the catch of the day using the stainless steel appliances.

Serve your fresh fillet at the 6-person kitchen table, set in front of a wall of windows overlooking the water. If you prefer to dine al fresco, step out the glass doors onto the expansive deck furnished with multiple sitting areas. Enjoy your feast as you take in the picturesque scenery painted with tranquil waters and vistas of Cadillac Mountain.

Take the paddle boat or kayak out for a sunset cruise on the bay before heading inside to wind down for the night. Host a movie night in the living area, housing a flat-screen cable TV and comfortable leather furnishings, before you break for the bedrooms.

-- THE LOCATION --

This seaside getaway is situated on the calm coast of Sullivan, home to several easily accessible area attractions! Take a short drive to Spring Woods Gallery or The Granite Garden and Gallery where you can discover original works of local artists.

Visit the popular Sullivan Harbor Farm and beautiful Tidal Falls Preserve before dining at a local restaurant serving up fresh seafood favorites. Enjoy a seafood feast at Tracey's Seafood just 0.5 miles up the road, or head to The Galley By The Bridge for classic American cuisine.

Sullivan is centrally located near several nature areas, including Seal Cove Farm, Lamoine State Park, and Schoodic Mountain. For a day trip, venture to Mount Desert Island where you can explore the 47,000-acre Acadia National Park or the delicious restaurants, shops and water activities of Bar Harbor, a 35-minute drive away.

No need to communicate with property manager as everything was in good condition and self explanatory. Large group arrived at second property which did impact us a bit but we were leaving the next day so not an issue.

Great place to stay!
My husband and I stayed at the cabin in Sullivan for three nights and could not have asked for more. The proximity to Bar Harbor and Acadia NP. We took the kayaks out and enjoyed our books by the fire. The cabin is well stocked and we would stay here again.

Enjoyed our stay, one detail
The home overall is nice, with decent access to Acadia. To be clear -- there is another, larger home that significantly figures in the property's view of the water and scenery. That isn't reflected in the listing, so for future renters I'd like to reflect that here.

Incredible view
The reviews I read about the view of the Bay and Cadillac Mountain are accurate although I feel that it is something you must experience - it's incredible! If you're looking to minimize your time spent in Bar Harbor or a retreat in the evening, this place is perfect. The kitchen is the most stocked I have ever seen a vacation rental but the deck and kayaks were the best part for myself and friends. I highly recommend.

We LOVED this cottage, the beach access, and kayaking with the seals / right by “Eagle rock” (coined by our youngest)! We were sad when it was time to leave, as we could have happily stayed here longer. Thank you for sharing this property!

Great vacation spot
Great views and property! Enjoyed paddling across the bay to the islands. MDI and Schoodic Point were close enough to get out and do early morning biking/hiking, beating the crowds. House was clean and had a well equipped kitchen to include a Keurig and drip coffee machine. No a/c but the ceiling fans kept us cool enough even on unusually hot days/evenings for Maine in June (mid 90s). Overall, great vacation spot!

Wonderful Stay
Everything was great. House was very clean. As noted in description there is a second house on the property that is located between you and the water. No one was there so it was just fine, not sure if someone was staying there how it would be. Ability to access kayaks whenever we wanted was a nice touch.

Great getaway!
We had a fantastic stay at this lovely house! It was delightfully off the grid but still had all of the amenities that you’d look for anywhere else. We really enjoyed kayaking in the ocean and gazing at the stars at night. It was a nice ~45 minute drive to Acadia and we would definitely stay here again!

Relaxing retreat
My teenage sons loved exploring the bay in the kayaks. Seals were seen on every expedition. I enjoyed reading out on the deck. This was our base for our 4 days in Acadia. A little far, 45 minute drive, but the peacefulness and the views were worth it. 2 minor peeves were the inability to adjust the thermostat. It was in the off position and pin locked, so the only way to cool the house was to open the windows. The screen doors were extremely difficult to roll and made a screeching noise every time you went in the deck. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Maine Vacation
We had a wonderful stay in Sullivan, love it’s location as it is close enough to many areas we love, but still far enough away to provide peace and quiet. The guest house is very nice, clean and well equipped. We had a stretch of cool rainy weather while we were there, so we didn’t get to use the outside amenities, but did stay warm and comfortable inside.

Incredible!
I cannot say enough about how truly breathtaking this property is. The pictures do not do it any justice. We loved every second spent here - cooking, relaxing on the porch, exploring the waterfront, etc. It is about a 40 minute drive to Acadia from here, but we enjoyed being able to get away from the crowds to relax in complete peace after a long day. The kitchen is stocked. The main bed is extremely comfortable. Being able to have the porch doors open with screens was a huge bonus for us. We didn't get to use the kayaks but wish we could have - we just ran out of time. It was super nice to have the washer/dryer as well. Literally one of the best VRBOs we have ever stayed in - worth every penny. We hope to come back one day!!

This was by far the best rental I have ever stayed in. We started each day with hiking in Acadia and then enjoyed stopping at the roadside markets (highly recommend J&P) and ice cream shops on the drive back to Sullivan. Back at the house, we loved spending the afternoon kayaking, and we saw many birds and seals. Around dinnertime, we grilled and stargazed around the fire pit. Waking up to the gorgeous water and mountain views from the living room was the icing on the cake. Thanks for a fantastic stay!

Our family had a great time and enjoyed the beautiful view of the bay! I did try to contact the manager to ask about A/C but no one ever called back. Fortunately it cooled off the rest of the week and we were fine. Overall, it had everything needed and time went so fast we didn’t get to try kayaking, I would recommend this place!
