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.

Our family of 4 and 2 dogs had the best week at Sea Chimes. The views are spectacular that you don’t want to leave but there was so much to explore. Would definitely come back!
This was our first visit to Maine. The property was beautiful. Very peaceful and quiet. We enjoyed exploring the different lighthouses and towns around the area.
The perfect place for relaxation and reconnection with adult children! Sunsets, countless stars, practically 360 water views, the fire pit, and that wraparound deck!!!
We had a wonderful time in Maine! The house was exactly as advertised… only better! The views took our breath away and our daily beach walks were treasured family time. The house had all the comforts of home and was very clean and tidy. We would love to return someday. Thank you for sharing this very special place with us!
We had a lovely stay in this beautiful home. It was extremely clean and comfortable. The entire property was gorgeous and quiet, and the sunsets were spectacular - we enjoyed walking the beach with our pup. If you are looking for a place to get away from chaos, this is your spot. Thank you for sharing your home with us!
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.
Still dreaming of our lovely family getaway at the gorgeous, immaculate Sea Chimes cabin. Super comfy accommodations, astounding views of Holmes Bay from the wrap around deck, from the great room and master loft bedroom. Heaven! Incredible sunsets and cozy nights by the fire. This house really has it all. We enjoyed lots of day trips to Eastport, Lubec (our fave) and Campobello Island. Scenic hikes around Quoddy. We look forward to returning to this mystical corner of Maine again! Our big old (senior)) hound dog loved the daily romps down the private path to the bay/beach…it just really feels miles away from it all - it’s a very special place.
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.
What beautiful home and property and an even better view! We loved our stay here and it’s exactly the peace and quiet we were looking for. I highly recommend this property to anyone who is looking for a peaceful place to stay.
Beautiful cabin on the Bay! What a great place to spend our 40th wedding anniversary. The property was fantastic. The private beach was great. We spent hours beach combing and star gazing at night. We will definitely be back. Clean rooms and a great host to work with!
The house was perfect. The location was perfect. Overall the weather was pretty good for mid October. Got lobster on two different occasions from a local fisherman and it was fantastic. The only complaint we had was the local property manager was not very responsive. Other than that this property is a 10 out of 10.
Beautiful, amazing almost 360* Holmes Bay views. Cozy cabin with plenty of bedrooms/bathrooms and dog friendly! Our pups loved the rolling landscape and path down to the water! We visited many towns along the coast and up north. Scenic and peaceful and everything we were hoping for! Pure joy!!!
Lovely home surrounded by meadow with fantastic views of the bay. There are things to do close by, especially hiking with a nearby coastal trail that runs over 5 miles. Or just sit and watch the bay - bald eagles, osprey, all kinds of shorebirds; we even saw seals hunting walking the shore near sunset. Cannot say enough.
If you're in the area for the Bold Coast, this house is in the perfect setting. Within 20 to 30 minutes you have some of the best hikes in the area. Great views from the home.
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.
My family and I had a wonderful vacation at the Sea Chimes house! It was so peaceful and relaxing. The views were incredible and the sunsets were amazing. My dog loved it too! We will definitely return to Sea Chimes.
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!
We were fortunate to have found this wonderful property available. A great get away week for us. Everything was perfect. Spacious, clean (very clean), everything we needed was there. Property manager is delightful and quick to respond. Highly recommended. We would definitely stay here again.
