This is a well-updated yet classic Maine cottage at the ocean's edge perfectly situated between Acadia/Bar Harbor, the Blue Hill/Penobscot Peninsula, Ellsworth and Deer Isle/Stonington. Camden is but an easy daytrip, and Eastport/Lubec and Campabella Island aren't too far either! The beachfront is excellent with over 200 feet of private sand and rocks (note that a deep water mooring may be available if you inquire). There is also a shared canon and inflatable kayak. Located in the rural town of Surry, yet with amenities and attractions close at hand, cell phone reception good and cableTV with fast internet at your disposal. The home embodies the classic coastal cottage look and feel, but has a newly updated kitchen, bathrooms, gas fireplace and wraparound deck. It's the best of both worlds. An open living/dining area overlooks a large stone gas fireplace to one side, with plate glass windows capturing the views over the bay, as well as doorway opening to stunning and truly special wrap-around, covered porch where you will want to dine in the evenings after cooking lobsters and steamer clams in the well appointed and newly renovated kitchen, with added sitting area just off to the side with media nook, and half bath and laundry. There is a main level master bedroom and full bath, as well as 3 additional bedrooms and 3/4 bath on the second floor. For those looking for an old-style, oceanfront Maine Cottage with a convenient location to enjoy the amenities of both the Acadia-Bar Harbor and the Blue Hill region, this is one of the best examples in all of Downeast Maine. Note that a deep water mooring may be made available if desired. Also the sleeping arrangements are most appropriate for up to seven adults, but can accommodate 8-9 inclusive of kids using the fold out futon bed if indicated. This property has been historically listed off VRBO, but here are a smattering of reviews; Our stay was wonderful and comfortable October 25, 2023 A group of friends stayed at this property the third weekend of October. This is a four bedroom house right on the ocean, literally 20 ft from the bay waters. The directions and the check-in process we’re very organized. The property was clean. There are four bedrooms in this property. A few repairs were being done previous to our stay but that did not affect our stay at all. Tremendous wildlife was seen from the front porch from which we spent a lot of time. This property is close to the very charming town of Ellsworth, and a little over 20 mi from Bar Harbor. Our entire party gave the property five stars and would stay here again in a heartbeat. A couple of notes, I rented a very large vehicle to accommodate for people in our luggage, and that was a bit interesting getting into the property with that large vehicle as Stagecoach Lane is very narrow with some tight turns. Also note is that the House has no central heater air, the beautiful gas fireplace in the living room warmed that room nicely and there are some space heaters. Our stay was wonderful and comfortable and I highly recommend this property. Surry cottage October 17, 2021 Loved the front porch overlooking the bay. Great location. The house was clean and had everything we need to make for a comfortable stay. Beautiful waterfront stay October 5, 2021 Wonderful Maine cottage right on on the water! Our stay was cozy and comfortable. Amenities were great including a gas log fireplace! Only difficulty was having to pack out our own garbage, but found a place right in Ellsworth to drop it off for a negligible fee. Will come again! Peaceful and relaxing October 2, 2021 We enjoyed coffee and cocktails on the front porch watching the seals fishing, a very peaceful and relaxing setting. The drive-in was a little scary, especially at night. It is a dirt road that narrows and twists into the woods… Until you emerge to the open, yet secluded seaside cottage. Lots of room, updated kitchen. Upstairs beds are ok… But, we very much enjoyed our stay. Would definitely stay again. The location of this property is outstanding the view BREATHTAKING!! June 27, 2021 The house was as pictured it was clean but the floors turned socks and feet black we mopped the floor and had no other issues. Very limited towels we bought some at Walmart so everyone had at least 1 towel each. Stunning Location August 4, 2020 Beautiful house. Stunning location. Plenty of room to spread out. Lots of local lobster to be eaten! Superb September 4, 2019 Superb views, extremely quiet and relaxing. We had a great time with lots of seal spills and even saw a pork whale Fantastic Vacation August 20, 2019 Fantastic vacation spot! The location is unbelievable, with spectacular views. The house is perfect! We had 5 people and fit comfortably. The kitchen has all you need to prepare a great meal. The house is stocked with games and books and amenities. But that view! Breathtaking!! We kayaked and hiked and hit all the local spots. Easy drive to Acadia. So relaxing. We had a tough time saying goodbye! We highly recommend a stay! Wonderful Stay August 27, 2018 Wonderful stay. The bay is beautiful and the wildlife are amazing. The house was perfect!
