Our stay at the Tides Cottage was great! The property was in a great location with amazing views. The house was clean and as describes the owners listing. The check-in/check-out process was very easy. We look forward to coming back to this part of MDI soon.

We loved our stay in Maine at this cottage, especially the porch overlooking the water and the wood burning stove in the living area. The property manager was quick to respond when we had questions. Would definitely stay here again.

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.
