Welcome to Seawall motel
Find Your True North
About THE MOTEL
Situated along the ocean’s edge in Southwest Harbor, Seawall Motel offers a tranquil retreat on Mount Desert Island’s less-traveled western shore. Here, the Atlantic’s whispers greet you each morning, and the serene beauty of Acadia National Park lies just beyond our doorstep.
Our cozy, New England cottage-inspired accommodations provide a comfortable haven where guests can disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with nature, family, and themselves. Each morning begins with a complimentary continental breakfast, setting the tone for a day of exploration or relaxation.
Exciting news for our guests: Charlotte’s Legendary Lobster Pound is relocating on-site! In just a few weeks, you’ll be able to savor mouthwatering lobster dishes and more from our very own food trailer, complete with covered seating and that unbeatable ocean breeze.
While we offer a peaceful escape, convenience is never far away. The charming villages of Southwest Harbor and Bass Harbor, with their delightful shops and restaurants, are just three miles in either direction.
At Seawall Motel, we don’t just provide a place to stay—we offer a space where memories are made, friendships are forged, and the spirit of Maine’s rugged coast becomes a part of you.

“Sparkling, basic rooms with stunning location. Generous continental breakfast. We have returned year-after-year, for the reasonable rates, the hospitality and the helpful, friendly knowledge of the owners. Spring, summer or autumn this is a lovely, quality base to explore the island from.”

A great place to stay
“Convenient to Southwest Harbor, Charlottes Lobster Pound. Clean rooms. Very friendly proprietors living on the property. Nice continental breakfast included. Great shower. Walls a little thin so heard the snorers on both sides. However, after turning on the small fan included in the room, no more snoring. Will definitely return.”

For Your Safety
COVID 19 SAFETY PLAN
Rooms are thoroughly cleaned, and all common touch areas are disinfected prior to check-in. Windows will be left open until your arrival so that the ocean breeze can refresh the air in your room or suite. Guests that wish to have as limited interaction as possible may request contactless check-in/out.
COVID STATEMENT
Seawall Motel at its creation was envisioned as a place of solace, rejuvenation, and reconnection. As an established business for over 50 years, those values remain firm today. Though we abide by state and federal mandates, we ask that you do not have the expectation that we will exceed them. Beyond state requirements we do not require proof of vaccination or masks for our guests or staff. We feel that these are personal choices that we honor and respect for not only ourselves, but also our guests. It is our hope and ambition that ALL may find peace and comfort on these hallowed grounds as the comfort of each of our guests and staff members is of the upmost importance to us. If you are un-comfortable with these policies perhaps another choice of accommodations would be better suited for your stay.
