Sunset Cove Cottage, private beach

Summary:
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!!

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!!

This is an open concept, WATERFRONT home with 3 bedrooms.
SECOND FLOOR: The loft bedroom has a queen bed, a ceiling fan and windows with incredible views. At the top of the stairs there is a door to the second upstairs bedroom with a king bed and more storage. There is a full bathroom on the second floor in between the bedrooms.
FIRST FLOOR: A full bathroom, and a bedroom with a queen sized bed, bureau and closet.
The open and spacious home sleeps 6 comfortably. The home is clean, beautifully decorated, and has a well stocked kitchen for all your cooking needs. Since the cottage has heat and is well insulated, its a great place for spring and fall, as well as the summer months!! With this water and sunset view, this is unique Maine home will keep your family busy from morning to night.
The spacious deck has an outdoor dining table and propane grill. The fire pit is off the deck with comfy chairs under the stary Maine skies.

This is a waterfront property, children under 8 must be watched at all times.

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.

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.

Great house
House has everything you need for your stay. Great, quiet location, just a little drive to all the places you want to go. Very clean. Waterfront very pretty, we were just unable to swim there due to the tidal schedules (but that's nature!!) Would definately stay there again.

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.

This home was perfect for our vacation! It felt like home from the moment we first walked in! Fully stocked linen closet, pantry, and kitchen! Box fans in the bedrooms so I could sleep! Views were amazing! I saw a deer swim across the cove and enjoyed the private beech!

Beautiful views, close to everything
We really enjoyed staying in this quiet home near the water. Lots of space for us to spread out with 4 beds. Kitchen was very well stocked with coffee, cooking oil, and all the sundries to make a meal. The host was helpful when I couldn’t locate the lock code previously given to me in my email.

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” :-)

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.

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.

Quiet, clean, and beautiful.
Our family had an amazing time at this cabin, which is tucked away in a beautiful bay. The house was adorably decorated, immaculately clean, and had every item that we could have needed. I was worried about the single bathroom, but it never posed a problem since we were outside most of the time. The kids loved exploring the shoreline with the changing tides and cooking smores on the campfire. We all loved kayaking in the bay and eating lobster on the deck as the sun set. I would recommend this rental to anyone looking for a quiet vacation on the ocean.

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.

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.

A nice and quiet place
I was looking for relaxation and quiet time, This place is nestle in the woods and it fit the bill. Spend 6 wonderful quiet days on this property listening to birds and nature by the water, The Schoodic Peninsula is only 20 minutes from this property and is absolutely breathtaking and It is far less crowded then Acadia/Bar Harbour area to the south. The only Negative (not owner's fault) was the road that leads to the house, about 1/2 mile of this road is gravel with really "bad" potholes, do not drive your low profile sports car here bring your SUV instead .

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 Remote Getaway
This was our 1st time visiting Maine and with travel at an all-time high we had trouble finding places to stay anywhere near Bar Harbor. Luckily we found this gem well off the beaten path in Winter Harbor. Sure, it's an hour drive into BH, but that area was crawling with tourists, and while we did enjoy our time there, the most peaceful moments were had right here at this property. The setting is idyllic and refreshing. The house was loaded with all the amenities we needed. And the hiking on the Schoodic was some of the most beautiful we've ever experienced! We likely would have missed this little corner of Acadia if we would have stayed in the tourism zone. If you're traveling up this way, do yourself a favor and consider this hiding spot tucked away down a dirt road far away from all the chaos of Vacationland. You won't regret it.

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.
