Tides cottage on quiet tidal inlet with kayaks and fire pit

TIDES COTTAGE WILL NOW HAVE 3 BEDROOMS AND 3 BATHROOMS! We have added a master bedroom with private bath at the back of the cottage with the twin bedroom now having it’s own private bathroom! Pictures will be added when the renovations are complete in Mid May. Be sure to watch the video at the end of the photo gallery to see the true setting of the Tides Cottage. Tides Cottage is a waterfront gem located 3 miles to down town Southwest Harbor on the quiet side of MDI. There are several entrances to Acadia nearby, Seawall, Wonderland and Ship Harbor to name a few. Our Cottage has a heat pump providing electric heat or cooling on those hotter days. There is a wood burning stove and wood is provided. The vaulted ceilings, white washed pine walls and a glass front make the living area very spacious, and the perfect place to watch the changing of the tides. Newly remodeled kitchen with quartz countertops. Bedding and towels are provided. We are on the western side of Mount Desert Island, home of Acadia National Park. There is a shared dock with two other cottages, row boat, and kayak at the water's edge for use of our guests. Tides has a gas grill, picnic table, and container fire pit in a private yard. The ocean facing deck offers additional seating. Tides is relaxing retreat at the end of the day and the perfect jumping off point for exploring all that our beautiful Island has to offer

The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and 3 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi.
