Elegant log home with unobstructed ocean views

The Sea Chimes House is a newly constructed 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom home in Cutler, Maine.

This house is located on scenic Holmes Bay with wide open views of the water. You will find yourself gazing out the windows of this home because the Sea Chimes boasts water views from almost every room in the house.

If open views to the water are the Maine experience that you are searching for, then this is your property. As soon as you drive into the property you are struck by the beauty of the Downeast coast.

The front lawn of the house is a rolling field with places to sit and enjoy the views. The house offers an outdoor fire pit as a wonderful evening gathering place. Spend time telling stories around the fire or sit and enjoy gazing at the stars. If sitting on the deck is more your style, the Sea Chimes offers this as well. Pass the time reading your favorite book or watching wildlife, boats and the harvest of clams on the bay.

The Sea Chimes House can accommodate 6-8 people comfortably on three separate floors. The master bedroom with king bed and private bathroom is located on the second floor. The ¾ wall allows for views of the water from two sides of the house. Lounge in bed and take in the water views from daybreak to sundown.

Two guest rooms (1 with queen bed and the other with 2 twin beds) are found on the main floor along with the kitchen, living room, dining area and another full bathroom. The walk-out basement level provides a family room, overflow sleeping with 2 additional twin beds, full bathroom and laundry facilities. The house also includes high speed Internet, DVD player, washer, dryer, cooking utensils, lobster pot and outdoor gas grill.

The kitchen, dining area and living room are an open design and flow easily from one space to the next. The kitchen offers a full sized refrigerator, gas oven, breakfast bar, dishwasher, microwave, Keurig coffee maker, toaster, dishes, pots & pans, glasses, etc. Settle in and discover your inner chef in this sunny, inviting room.
The dining area is an extension of the kitchen and blends this area easily into the living room space. The focal point of the living room is a beautiful wood burning fireplace. Relax in front of the fire or spend time watching your favorite movie on the flat screen TV (satellite connection).

Guests that visit our area of Downeast Maine are certainly outdoor enthusiasts. The Sea Chimes House caters to that sense of adventure as well as those looking for comfort and elegance. Bring your kayak and launch easily from the property to explore the shoreline. If hiking is more your style, you will find several excellent hikes close by. Explore the Bold Coast trails, Western Head trail or Boot Head Preserve which are just a short drive from the property. These trails are nothing short of spectacular and are a “must visit”.

The Sea Chimes House is located only 10 minutes away from beautiful Cutler harbor where visitors can buy fresh lobsters or board the Barbara Frost for a trip out to Machias Seal Island where the Atlantic Puffins gather.

Guests can also visit scenic Lubec where West Quoddy Head lighthouse is located and its wonderful coastal hiking trail. Just across the bridge from Lubec is Canada's Campobello Island with its terrific golf course, quiet fishing hamlets, and towering East Quoddy Head light house where whales are often seen spouting in the distance.

Both Lubec and Campobello Island are only 30 minutes from Sea Chimes. Also, New Brunswick, Canada is only 1 hour and 15 minutes away and Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park are just 2 hours from the house. Both destinations are easy day trips from the property.

The house is available all year around for Saturday to Saturday rentals. Rental rates cover the rent plus a cleaning at the end of your stay. Additional fees include the Maine state lodging tax and a separate refundable $500.00 damage/security deposit.

The Sea Chimes House allows well behaved, house broken dogs (limit of 2). There is an additional pet fee of $100.00 per dog charged.

Smoking is not permitted in the house.

A 50% reservation deposit (half of the rent + tax total) is due within 14 days of making your reservation. The balance of rent + tax fees are due 30 days prior to arrival. A $500.00 refundable security/damage deposit is also due on all rentals.

The house is 2 hours from Bangor International Airport and 5 hours from the Portland Jetport. The house is 7 hours from Boston and 11 hours from New York City.

Gorgeous Bucolic Setting
My 2 week stay was perfect. The house is clean, well-equipped and you can't beat the scenery. Took many short trips to hike with my dogs at Quoddy Head Lighthouse, Roque Bluffs, Beals Island and Cutler Preserve. At the property I watched mama deer and her fawn, Mr & Mrs Turkey with their 5 babies; a rare red raccoon at Cobscook Bay. Eating was fantastic, a favorite spot was Helen's in Machias for lobster rolls and pie. The house remained comfortable even though the last 2 days saw record heat for Maine.

Another Great Oceanfront Vacation!
Stayed here last year and loved it so much we stayed again. We were not disappointed! Beautiful location and a great home. Plenty of room for the three couples who went. We all enjoyed the local fresh seafood and relaxing in the large yard playing games and enjoying a campfire. The owners are great and had everthing there we needed. Highly recomend this property.

Great relaxing stay
My family thoroughly enjoyed our week! The location was beautiful and serene, and the views were amazing. The house was spacious, very clean, and met all of our needs. When at the house we spent the majority of our time on the deck and shared the yard with deer, turkeys, and at least ten babies who were fun to watch. We hiked nearby and took day trips to Lubec, Campobello Island, and St. Andrews NB, all short drives away. It truly was the perfect getaway, and we would definitely stay again!

Nice cabin
We enjoyed our stay in this cabin in Cutler. It was very quiet and the sunsets were amazing. Beds were comfortable and we really appreciated the extra room and extra bathroom. Lots of pots and pans to cook in kitchen and extras like spices were very much appreciated. The only problem we had was contacting property manager with questions. She seemed to have trouble connecting with my phone to return calls but I was able to leave her messages on her phone. Other than that we really appreciate the owners allowing us to rebook this year due to Hurricane Lee last year. We recommend this cabin for anyone who wants quiet and solitude. The cabin is easy to find and about 15-20 min from Hannafords where lobsters are plenty and they steam them for free.

Great home for our family vacation! We enjoyed the location and being able to make day trips to Bar Harbor and Lubec, as well as all of the local hiking. We took the Acadia puffin boat tour which was fantastic. Saw a seal lounging on rocks during one of our hikes as well. Loved exploring the shore and having campfires in the evening. The house was clean and offered us plenty of space! Thank you for sharing your home with us. We hope to visit Maine again!

Awesome Location
Quaint area, many lobster fishing warfs to discover. Excellent hiking trails, an abundance of wildlife. Acadia puffin tour was excellent owner/operator couple. Local restaurants all have great food and desserts. If you don’t enjoy this area and cottage you should stay in the city where you likely belong. Go looking for best priced lobster it’s an adventure in itself. Enjoy your turn!!

Isolation on the Ocean
Location was perfect for a couple who wanted to disconnect from the world for a week. We loved listening to the ocean from the deck, private beach access to walk the coast. WiFi was solid enough for YouTubeTV to stream movies/football on the rain day. House was spotlessly clean! Would have thought we were the first guests ever if not for the guest book.

Beautiful Vacation Spot!
We arrived late last Saturday night and got out of the car to a sky filled with beautiful stars and the the Milky Way visible! We woke up the next morning to a gorgeous view all the way around the house! It was a great spot to spend the week. We enjoyed daily walks on the beach, digging clams and muscles, and sitting around the fire pit at night. Great location for day trips too! We went south to Acadia/Bar Harbor and north to Lubec. Thanks for sharing your house!

Fun Filled Family Vacation
This property was beautifully maintained and provided stunning views all around. It was a wonderful experience to have a good old fashioned week of family time on this property. There was plenty of places to explore nearby. It was the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation spending time together at night playing board games and doing puzzles. The kids were able to spend a week barely looking at their devices. Highly recommend to anyone looking to unplug.

Loved it!
We loved everything about this cabin. The views from the deck and windows were amazing and the area was so quiet and remote which was perfect for our dog to be off leash and run! We found a local lobsterman, Mother Shuckers, and picked up fresh lobster they caught that morning - it was delicious! We spent our days hanging around the house and going for walks when the tide was out. It was the perfect cabin for us - we can’t wait to go back again!
