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.

Gorgeous location, as described. The bed was a bit firmer than our personal preference, but there were other options for sleeping. Spent most of the trip on the spectacular deck! Thank you.

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!

Beautiful view of the bay!
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!

This is our third time staying here, and everytime we do we have loads of fun. The location is beautiful-- rain or shine. You can see Acadia across the water. The updates to the location since our last visit were nice. Hope to stay again in the future.

Kayaking and great view
The kayaks were a big perk. The rooms were smaller than they appeared in the listing. The view, while lovely, was partially obscured by another house. The kitchen was well equipped. But the decor was a bit shabby and had too many Knick knacks. However we still managed to have a wonderful stay.

Overall okay experience but not what I paid for
Was pretty disappointed in the location. This is not on the water and it is not private the other home on the 6 acres is directly in front of this one and that one is actually on the water. This is not really waterfront but you are up at the top of the hill so you do get a great view. The photos of the screened in porch are of the other house. Fire pit, picnic table, rope swing and kayaks are behind the other house and below their deck so we didn’t feel comfortable using them. The “path” to the kayaks is extremely overgrown and gross to walk through. For how far away it is from acadia and not actually being on the water I think it’s a little over priced. I don’t like the fact that they were deceitful in their listing. The actually cottage Itself was nice clean and had basically everything we needed and stocked. Had games too! Make sure to bring your own seasoning condiments toiletries and paper products (paper towels and toilet paper is not provided)

This was an ideal location from which to explore the area including Acadia national and the Schoodic Peninsula. The property is situated on a quiet bay that was ideal for kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming, or just relaxing on the deck or waterfront with a spectacular view. Often it was just us and wildlife on the bay including seals, dolphins, bald eagles and Osprey.

A perfect getaway
This was the perfect location for our much needed getaway. The house is in a quiet location, just a quick ride to Acadia and Cadillac Mountain. We enjoyed peaceful mornings watching the fog lift to reveal a beautiful bay spotted with islands and birds searching for a shellfish breakfast at low tide. The kayaking with seals was a special treat!! We highly recommend this house if you are looking for a peaceful escape that is in close proximity to so many outdoor adventures in Bar Harbor.

Lovely place with stunning views of Flanders Bay. The house is ample, very comfortable and clean. There is a larger home close to this property, but despite of the fact that there were big families with kids staying at the same time, we welcomed the voices of the kids having fun. This was an ideal place to relax and renew the spirit.
