Exceptional renovated and clean cottage on the water with sunset views, 200 feet of private beach, Sleeps 6.
What is better than a sweeping view of a cove, the tide coming in, and your coffee with an ocean breeze? Watch the osprey, deer, occasional seal or bald eagle from the yard. Soak up some sun on the Maine pink granite shore line, or take a nap in the hammock. Time for dinner? Grill up some steak or lobster outside, and finish with smores by the fire pit under the stars!! Maybe tomorrow you will venture out for the local lobster roll, some antiquing, or a short drive to Schoodic Point. We are minutes away from Winter Harbor where you will find a ferry to Bar Harbor, local restaurants, local fishermen in the harbor pulling lobster traps (fishing for lobster) as well as sightseeing boat trips!!

First Acadia Adventure

This home was perfect for our first outing to Acadia. We enjoy being away from the crowds and exploring on our own and this was the perfect setting. We explored the Schoodic side first and later launched kayaks directly from the property to explore the surroundings by water. We ate at local restaurants and also had a well equipped kitchen for those nights we stayed in. We took our bikes over to Acadia by ferry avoiding the traffic and getting a bonus tour guide from the ferry owners as we approached Bar Harbor. We explored the carriage roads, hiked many mountains and enjoyed popovers at the Jordan Pond House. We booked a night kayak paddle off Hadley Point Beach and saw many shooting stars and enjoyed paddling through the bioluminescence. We had perfect weather and a perfect place to crash after our action-packed days. We can't wait to return.

Beautiful getaway!

The check in process was easy and the property managers very responsive. The washer and dryer on site was a huge selling point for our family with 4 young kids. The space was clean and open, and the views were beautiful. We enjoyed mornings on the porch. The kids loved the bunnies that visited often throughout the day and checking out the tidal areas. It was convenient to family and we’d definitely consider staying here again on our next trip to Maine.

Fantastic place would stay there again

Great place… very quiet and remote location, be prepared to drive on an unpaved road. The house itself is very clean and well taken care of. It has everything that we needed. There is an outside grill and fire place. Communication with the host was good. The place itself is about an hour away from Bar Harbor and main Acadia trails, but it was not a problem.We have made the trip multiple times. There are also few Acadia trails just 20 or so minutes away from the house. There are a few restaurants, an ice cream place, and a small grocery store just few minutes away. Overall very-very good place. We all enjoyed our stay… there is also a rabbit who lives right outside the house. He comes out every day… we named him “Harold” :-)

Nice and Quiet

Very unique location, and exactly what I wanted. Quiet location. Definitely bring sturdy shoes so you can explore the water front. Take advantage of the “Catch Your Own Dinner” lobster tours right in Corea. Good locations if you want to explore surrounding areas, but stay in a rural setting! Will visit again.

Amazing sunsets and stars

The place was clean, comfortable and very cozy and views of the bay were spectacular. We enjoyed a couple of beautiful sunsets and a couple of clear nights at the fire seeing the Milky Way and shooting stars with just our eyes. Susan was very responsive and helpful. While this is a beautiful waterfront property, I would not consider it having a “beach”. That said, you can walk down to the waters edge and the chairs are great for birdwatching. A very relaxing place in a very quiet part of Schoodic. We loved being away from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor.

Great Little House!

This property was fabulous! Even though it's out of the tourist area, there is a lot of things to do nearby! We especially enjoyed the waterfront of the property (I would not swim here, but the kids enjoyed looking for creatures and shells), Sandy Cove beach (at the beginning of the road), Me and Ben's Ice cream in Birch Harbor, Lunch on the Wharf in Corea, watching the waves at Schoodic Point. We also made a couple trips to Bar Harbor/Trenton to see Diver Ed and the Great Maine Lumberjack Show. We had a great time! Communication with the property manager was excellent, phone call and texts accepted and responded to promptly.

We enjoyed our stay. It was a great way to celebrate our 25th anniversary.

The place was beautiful, clean, and scenic. We enjoyed it very much. The downside was it was very out of the way, very dark( no lighting whatsoever… really not good to drive at night), and really no beach. Disappointed about that. It was, however, peaceful and relaxing.

NIce, comfortable, and simple serene location.

Sunset Cove Cottage is a great place to stay. The cottage is clean and comfortable and has a great water front view of the cove. The Cottage is on a private lot away from the busy tourist areas, but is close enough to drive and see all the sights. We spent time on Mt. Desert Island, visited Acadia National Park, many of the small harbor towns, including Bar Harbor, and drove the Schoodic Peninsula and Bold Coast Scenic byways. The backyard porcupine was also special. The host, Susan, communicated well and made the stay easy. It was a great time and a nice place to stay. The only thing that would make it better would be a second bathroom, but we would not hesitate to visit again.

Great house, amazing views, and a very private remote location

We had a wonderful time at Sunset Cove. We loved the big, stocked kitchen. The views of the water were amazing both in the morning and in the evening. We loved walking on the shore line in the evenings at low tide. The Pickled Wrinkle was our favorite place to eat at. We had a few hiccups that were at no fault to Susan, the owner. The next door neighbor had an excavator running early in the morning to about 4 pm for a few days we were there. That wasn't very relaxing but we made the best of it. The power did go out on the last few day we were there. I immediately let Susan know and she got on the internet and let us know that there was an outage in our area. Again, no big deal we made the best of it. We enjoyed our stay and we can't wait to come back.

Cute Cottage

We enjoyed our stay. The cottage is decorated nicely. The downstairs bedroom and the bathroom are cute and when we booked there weren't pictures up, so now you know. One bedroom upstairs has a sliding door. The other is an open loft space with less privacy. The kitchen was well stocked and we enjoyed our meals there. Buy groceries before arriving. We loved the blackout curtains in the sleeping spaces. More rentals should have them. We loved the location with the long driveway and few quiet neighbors. The water was beautiful. Be aware that if walking is difficult for you, it will not be easy for you to get to the water's edge. It's a bit of an uneven hill and slippery rocks once you get down. My kids still loved it. My daughter says go down on your butt. She's 4 and knows about these things. This home has several scented products. It's not heavily scented but it's enough that if you're sensitive to these things you'll notice. Right before you turn onto Grand Marsh Bay Road is a very nice sandy beach called Sand Cove Beach. You park on the busier road and walk down. We loved it there!

Beautiful Location

Beautiful, peaceful location. Cleanliness could be improved. Bathroom and downstairs bedroom had intense wet musty odor. Dishes needed to be re-washed as they had dried food on them. Lost power for about five hours. Manager said this happens often. Consider installing a generator like neighboring houses. Could not cook, shower with warm water, or flush the toilet without power.

Peaceful setting away from the crowds

My family enjoyed our stay at the Sunset Cove Cottage! The house itself was very clean and spacious, with beautiful views all around! The bay was ever changing with the rise and fall of the tide, and the quietness of the surrounding woods on the property was magical. This area is very remote…..but if you are like our family and would rather be away from the touristy areas (like Bar Harbor, which is about an hours drive away) then you will enjoy it! My husband is an avid fisherman, and was a little disappointed with the lack of good fishing at the property, but we loved being able to sit on the warm granite shore when the tide was up, and watching the crabs and muscles come out when the tide went out. Plus, Schoodic Point is a beautiful and quiet section of Acadia National Park, and a close drive (25 minutes) for amazing views and fishing - I highly recommend a sunset at the point! The kids loved exploring the woods, and while we didn’t see any wildlife on our trip, there was plenty of evidence in the woods that they are around 😊 The smaller towns around us (Birch Harbor, Winter Harbor, Corea) were scenic and quiet, with enough little restaurants and activities to keep us busy, but again avoid any type of crowd. Thank you Susan for providing great communication, easy check in/out instructions, and all the suggestions of things to do in the area! We enjoyed our time!
