I would go back to this house in a heartbeat! From the daily squirrel and chipmunk shows to the almost constant eagle sightings, it was possibly the most beautiful and relaxing place I've ever been. The host was extremely helpful about providing information on directions to the property, places of interest, and where to stop for food and supplies on our way in. The fire pit on the rocks, by the bay was my family's favorite part. We all agreed that the air there was the freshest we had ever breathed. I would (and have already) recommend this area, and this house specifically, to anyone!!! It would be impossible not to enjoy a stay here.

My family had an absolutely amazing stay here. Drinking coffee on the rocks overlooking the bay is something I would never get tired of. All my kids found something they loved about this place; from scrambling the rocks to looking for sea glass to watching the hummingbirds to seeing the Milky Way for the first time. And when my husband left his laptop at the house, the owner was quick to send a message before we were too far away. Fantastic slice of paradise.

Wonder Place to Relax

This House was amazing. If you want a place that has nature, views, a place to enjoy friends or just to relax this is the place. Everything is perfect. It was clean, had everything in the kitchen. The best party was the Book the owners have put together with everything to see, eat, history etc. Thank you so much. And the best party they are Buffalo Bills Fans!!!!

Amazing!

The location of this property is fabulous! The views are stunning, the house itself is clean and homey. The location?? The location is perfect! Far enough away from Bar Harbor and Acadia that is peaceful and non touristy, yet close enough to be able to do those places and come back to a relaxing atmosphere! We loved it there

What an incredible home

We just got home from an amazing week in Maine. And this house and location made it special. Exactly as advertised and the view beats the description. Great location for heading north to Campobello or south to Acadia. Or just sit on the Adirondack chairs and read and take in the amazing setting. We hope to be back again next year.

Perfect Maine Getaway

This home was so inviting! Felt welcomed from the minute we walked in. The owners have thought of everything that you could need for a perfect Maine vacation. The home was clean, very private. Numerous seating areas around the home to enjoy the bay and watch the lobster boats. Close enough to all the coastal attractions. Owner very quick to respond to questions. Would highly recommend!

Lovely & Quiet

We did not spend a lot of time at the property, as we were out most days hiking, kayaking and exploring, but it was exactly what we needed - a comfortable, clean and quiet cottage on the ocean to begin and end our day. Never turned on the television a single time; just enjoyed nature.

Gorgeous Place - even better than the pictures. Very thoughtful Hosts!!

We had an amazing time up at this waterfront, Maine property - only 15 min away from the Schoodic Acadia park and ~70min from the main Acadia parks. What really blew us away, however, was how thoughtful Bob was as a host -- there was a huge visitor's guide waiting on the dinner table and the house was stocked with everything you could want (grill, lobster pot, all the utensils, etc.). Amazing experience -- would 100% do it again.

So Beautiful!

Described as "beautiful and private" and that's exactly what it is! We really enjoyed our stay at this cottage in the woods on the beach. Mornings were so peaceful, having coffee on the deck with a nice cool breeze and so relaxing! Great way to start the day! The cottage was equipped with everything you could possibly need while on vacation! We loved it!

The PERFECT getaway

We stayed at Sunrise to be far from but still close enough to Acadia for day trips. The cottage exceeded our expectations. It was a great place to come back and relax at. My kids thoroughly enjoyed the rocks and tide pools (us too). The house is very well stocked. Besides bringing our own food we had no reason to go to the store for anything. Bob was such a help prior to our trip with sending us helpful tips. If we are ever back in Maine (kids keep asking when we get to go back!) we will definitely try and stay here again!

Peaceful and Relaxing Retreat

6 of us spent 7 days at Sunset Point. It was the perfect accommodation for four adults and two teens. We felt so at home here. The house was equipped with everything we needed and more. The kids enjoyed putting together one of the many puzzles. We all enjoyed the beautiful view of the bay, sitting on and exploring on the rocks and watching the changing tides. We even watched a seal fish in the bay, enjoyed watching a bald eagle and two hummingbirds. This property is perfectly located between Bar Harbor/ Acadia and other points of interest to the east. One of our favorites experiences at the house was having a campfire on the rocks.

Gorgeous Steuben Cabin

We loved our stay at this cabin. It is more of a beautiful home than a cabin, and the best we have ever stayed in. It was recently remodeled in beautiful wood paneling. The owners have thought of everything for your comfort. The towels, linen, silver ware and dishes were all top notch. The beds were all extremely comfortable as was the furniture. I have a bad back but never had any problems there. Every utensil and spice you could need was also there, and the porch had a large number of great chairs with cushions for a really comfortable time of reading or just watching the fishing boats. They also had a big HDTV with a great selection of cable. Didn't miss my football, although their cable tended to show more of those east coast teams over the Cowboys or Texans. It is the best cabin we have ever stayed at, and the nicest owners. GREAT stay!

Perfect get away

If you want to slow down and relax this is the place for you. The host, Bob was surprisingly generous. The location is sheltered from direct winds and waves from the ocean which moderates the temperature. We watched eagles and went to Chipman's Wharf regularly. There's not a lot to do in Steuben in September. That's just what we wanted. The house smelled a little musty when we arrived. Opening the windows alleviated that. When we closed up at night I burned a candle in one of the bedrooms. Also a couple squirts of Febreeze air freshener solved the problem. If you want to walk along the ocean you will have to go to a park. The beach is gorgeous but walking on it won't work. The queen beds were very comfortable. One is softer and one is firmer. The cupboards are well stocked. We would definitely return to this property. The description was accurate. We loved our time in Steuben.

I can't say enough good things about this cottage, or how homey it feels. Having grown up with family cabins in the northwoods of Wisconsin, this place immediately felt like home. Bob and his family obviously love the place, and it's in impeccable shape. It also gives the impression of being loved and shared, rather than being used as an investment property....meaning the house feels warm and welcoming and real, rather than stripped of all personal details like most vacation rentals are. In my eyes that's a huge plus. I only wish we lived closer so we could stay here every summer.We used this as our home base to explore Acadia, both the island and mainland portions. The drive to the Acadia loop is about an hour, but the Schoodic portion is very close. We enjoyed both immensely. Bob's recommendation of the Raven's Nest overlook was fantastic, and we were thrilled with the crashing waves at Schoodic Point.The house is set up marvelously, and you don't need to bring every little thing with you-- basics like cooking spray, spices, salt/pepper, shampoo/conditioner, laundry detergent, ice trays etc. were all there, and the fridge was spotless and empty (except for the hummingbird food, which our teens loved using in the hummingbird feeder). There are plenty of pots and pans and cooking utensils, though I would recommend a new nonstick pan or two. That's seriously the only thing! Everything here was absolutely ideal...a dream stay, honestly. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Lovely stay with a few issues

The property was very cute and rustic located in the woods right on the bay with your own private deck and access to the water. Upon arrival we noticed the bedrooms had cobwebs on the ceiling with spiders, even saw some go into floorboard cracks and dust covering dressers. We must have killed over 6 spiders the first night (only in the bathrooms & bedrooms). The kitchen & eating area were very clean. I took pictures & contacted the owner right away (11pm) full expecting we may not get a response until morning & he responded shortly after which I appreciated. However, the reply from the owner was not what I was hoping for, stating that this has never been an issue and would let the cleaning crew know. I guess I was hoping for more of an immediate action such as having the cleaning crew come the next day to clean & spray for peace of mind. I did not hear from the owner after that. There was a review from a few days before us with no issues so maybe we just looked closer than most. We shouldn't have to do this type of cleaning when arriving on vacation thus the cleaning fee. We were traveling since 3 am so it wasn't the best way to enter our vacation. We stay near a National Park every year in rustic settings so we aren't new to this type of setting. To sum it up, I do think this place and owner have all good intentions but I do believe the bedrooms need a deep clean and rooms be sprayed. +private property, direct access to bay, deck seating, firepit by water, board games...

This lovely cottage provided us with one of the best vacations we have ever had. As soon as we stepped in the door we knew it was special. The rooms were spotless, the view of the bay from the large, ceiling- to-- floor windows was breath-taking. We enjoyed sitting on the deck having morning coffee and having a vist from the humming bird. We had three bald eagle sightings during our week stay. Also Loons, Cormorants and a seal came to play every day The cottage is stocked with everything you could possibly need...towels ,bed linens, washer/dryer, fully stocked kitchen, numerous chairs outside. We took some day trips and visited local sights, but mostly enjoyed the peacefullness of the cottage on the bay. so, grateful for the opportunity to stay at this amazing cottage.

We loved it!

This was our first VRBO so we were a little unsure of what to expect. As soon as we walked in it really did feel like walking into a friend’s home. It was incredibly welcoming. The view from the backyard is majestic and this location is perfect to explore various points in Maine. We went up to Eastport and down to Bar Harbor finding fun things to do along the way.
