Oceanfront Maine Acadia Cottage

Tidal Ledge has a beautiful and secluded contemporary Atlantic seacoast design that blends perfectly into the Maine landscape. It’s exceptional location offers the quintessential Maine experience.

The main living area boasts floor to ceiling glass windows offering 180 degree views of the ocean. This home is well appointed with everything you expect to find in your own home to include a fully stocked kitchen, luxurious turkish bath towels, and comfortable high thread count sheets. For your convenience a washer and dryer are also available in the home.

The layout makes this house easy to move around with only one floor to include two spacious bedrooms each with a queen size bed, and one spacious bathroom. The house has a large 50 inch flat screen television with full cable and Roku packages, and the wifi maintains a strong signal. For cool nights a beautiful gas log fireplace warms the house. Note: Due to the proximity to the ocean and high decks, Tidal
Ledge is only suited for adults with children aged 16 or older.

Grab your chairs or blanket to walk over to the Frenchman Bay Conservancy sponsored Summer Monday evening concerts that make for a fun evening. These fun concerts are located within walking distance from the house, or you can take in the concert from the comfort of the large back deck.

Tidal Ledge sits next to a nature preserve that highlights some of the most exceptional viewings of Maine wildlife. It is not unusual to frequently see bald eagles, harbor seals and a wide cross section of bird species flying about, all seen from the privacy of the back lawn. At night, sit by the Oceanside fire pit taking in views of the Milky Way. Take a stroll in the morning down to the shoreline with a cup of coffee, and in July and August pick wild blueberries on property for your breakfast pancakes.

If your looking for a nice dinner out, look no further than the 4 star restaurants available in the area. Chippers, Ironbound, and Crocker House Country Inn are all within a short drive away. Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park are a 20 minute drive, and for shopping essentials Ellsworth is the largest town in Hancock county and is a 15 minute drive away. Hancock Point is located a short distance away. Visit Hancock’s 130 year old library, and take a stroll around the point enjoying views across Frenchman’s Bay to Bar Harbor.

5++ from us!
The incredible view off the back porch and the peace and quiet we experienced was just amazing! It’s about 45 minutes from Bar Harbor, but we would definitely choose this over some fancy new condo in the middle of town. The kitchen is well stocked, and the home is very quaint, which was exactly what we were looking for. The host(s) were super super nice and genuinely cared about making our stay the best possible!

Peaceful and charming
Tidal Ledge is a wonderful vacation spot. My husband and I just stayed for our second time, and we hope to go back again next summer. The cozy cabin is tucked away in a great location right on the water where you can hear the tidal falls. This year we enjoyed smores on the firepit outside and spent a whole day puzzling while enjoying the serene view. We were only an hour or so away from Acadia, which made it nice and easy to get up and hike. We had a lovely time!

Review of Hancock VRBO
Last year we stayed four nights... this year we stayed seven nights. We love this place. It feels like home. The view is outstanding... plenty of windows to bring the outside inside! The hosts invested in good cookware, sharp knives, plenty of towels...a good gas grill! It's all you would want in a home away from home. And a short distance away are wonderful places to bike along the beautiful coast of Maine. This place is easy to love!!!

Beautiful Tidal Ledge
What an amazing 5 weeks we spent at Tidal Ledge. The perfect cozy cottage. Beautiful views of the ever changing tidal falls. Wonderful kitchen, including my favorite Staub pan along with other great cookware and tableware. If you are considering this fabulous property do not hesitate for one moment to book. Tracey is a gracious host and her home is everything you could ask for....We loved our time and hope to return again..and again...and again.

We had the best time! Each day we watched the tides change and Tidal Falls come to life.
The rental process was very easy. Tracey was accessible and accommodating. The note and bottle of wine were a nice touch. Everything we needed was readily available. We cooked several meals and kayaked from the backyard when the tide was high. We watched seals, eagles and an array of birds from the beautiful backyard. Deer even visited. It was a wonderful week!

Beautiful Cottage at Tidal Ledge
The cottage was the perfect blend of location, convenience, and privacy. The tidal ledge location provided unique opportunities to watch the water in the narrows change direction with the tide as well as great wildlife viewing. The property was very well maintained and providing enough room for outdoor activities or just relaxing in the yard by the fire pit. The cottage was very clean and gave us enough space to be comfortable as a group or solo. It was stocked with all the amenities one would need for an enjoyable stay. We'd love to stay there again in the near future. Thanks!

Maine Vacation
Our stay at Tidal Ledge was OUTSTANDING! We couldn't have asked for anything better. The house was better then the descriptions clean, comfortable, with everything we needed. Waking up to the beautiful view out the windows was spectacular - even when it was rainy. Tracy couldn't have been a better host. She made us feel welcome and was available to answer questions. We really wished we could have stayed another week or two and hated to leave. If we ever come back to the area we will definitely try to stay at Tidal Ledge.

Maine cottage
This property was so wonderful! It was perfect for my husband and I. Comfy furniture, cozy fuzzy blankets, a working gas fireplace and a stunning waterfront view. Deer passed through the property most mornings and it was a short drive to Acadia which was in full fall color and was so beautiful for hiking and drives. Most attractions were closed for the season when we went (late Oct) but we found plenty of good food and the weather was perfect for hiking. We loved it here. I reached out to the owner with a question and she was prompt and friendly and actually called instead of messaging through VRBO which i appreciated. I would 100% recommend this property and i would love to come stay here again.

fabulous cottage along maine's mid-coast
in late Sept/early Oct. Location provides good access to Acadia, Deer Island, Bar Harbor and local walking trails. House is equipped with everything, really! Deck is a perfect spot to read a book under a furry blanket (provided). As a city person, I enjoyed the dark and the quiet and view of the tidal falls and associated water birds, eagles and a seal. My one caution for potential renters: glorious deck space is manageable but not ideal for little kids (i.e. <6 years).

Week at the Tidel Ledge
We just spent the week at the Tidel Ledge cottage. A wonderful experience - the cottage itself was a large part of our vacation - warm,clean, and comfortable with anything we needed. We spent the days hiking in Acadia National Park - were fortunate to hit the foliage at it's peak (Schoodic Pennisula, Cadillac Mtn. & Jordan's Pond- all within a short drive). We returned home to the cottage in time to sit on the deck to view the Tidel Falls - something we have never seen anything like before. The country there is truly magnificent !!!! Made use of the grill a few nights & also enjoyed a dinner out at an Inn nearby with local seafood at Tracy's recommendation. Tracy was very gracious hostess.. prompt and helpful responses to questions we had both before & during our stay. Thank you Tracy for sharing your lovely home -- it is a time we will not forget!!

Tidal serenity
I would give this property 100 stars if I could! Best VRBO I have ever stayed. It is immaculate, private, well appointed with floor to ceiling windows looking over the tidal basin. The tidal water changes are a show in themselves and the wildlife adds to its splendor. The gas fireplace warmed the rooms when the air cooled in the evening. Full kitchen to eat-in and use. A perfect size home for a couple or two. Bar Harbor and Acadia NP are a short drive, and Hancock has many hiking options. But the best part was sitting by the water's edge in the Adirondack chairs and watching the tide roll in, pause for a bit and roll out. Can't beat it. Tracey was fantastic - start to finish. I wish we could have stayed longer. We'll be back! Thanks Tracey! :)

Best experience ever.
This is the best VRBO I have ever stayed. The location is amazing, secluded in the forest just far enough away from town but not too far to drive and see the sights. The views are amazing and it is easy to spend hours looking outside at nature.The cottage is well appointed with everything you need to be comfortable. Tracy is easy to communicate with and answers questions quickly. I highly recommend.
