Romantic Downeast Ocean Front Cottage ~ Amazing Views ~Near Quoddy Head Park!
Imagine arriving at a place so breathtaking that your eyes can't help but linger, absorbing its natural magnificence. A place immersed in the heart of one of the largest bird reserves, where flocks of birds gather gracefully by the water's edge. As you drive up to this charming cottage, you immediately recognize its uniqueness—it stands in a class of its own.
Welcome to Sunrise by the Sea. Sunrise is rustic 1900 ocean front cottage that has been recently renovated down to the studs, while keeping it's original charm. You will find spectacular views of the Bay of Fundy, Campobello Island & Quoddy Head State Park. Sunrise is immersed in the South Lubec Sand Flats. This saltwater marsh is on the top 10 birding spots in Maine. High tide you may see flocks flying overhead to nest nearby, while low tide you may see them return to the shoreline. TO VIEW YOUTUBE VIDEO, SEARCH SUNRISE BY THE SEA, LUBEC ME.
Sunrise is a small space, but can comfortably fit up to 5 + guests. Two bedrooms are shared on upper level of the cottage. The bedrooms overlook the bay and ever changing tides through saltwater marsh. The king bedroom has their own personal upper level deck to enjoy that breath taking view that words or photos can not convey. On a clear sunny day you can see Grand Manon Island 8 nautical miles away as well as spectacular views of the Bay of Fundy, Campobello Island & Quoddy Head State Park.
The other bedroom has 2 full beds with it's own privacy door. The king bedroom does not have a privacy door due to the age of the cottage. The lower level has the bathroom, kitchen and dining/living room. It also includes a spacious lower level deck where meals can be enjoyed while taking in the view. The cottage is equipped with 300 speed internet for video conferencing. Please note: There is no smoking of any kind in the cottage. Thank you.

About the host
Hosted by Debra

Hi Folks! I am originally from Nebraska, farm raised, and have been in New England for over 30 years. My husband and I fell in love with Lubec while vacationing here in 2010, looking for the end of America. We decided to learn more about this beautiful place, and now plan to retire here. We frequent the area and hopefully can answer questions you may have about Lubec. I love to host guests, and give them the experience that hopefully will make their stay memorable. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve you as your host!
Why they chose this property
The minute you drive down South Lubec road, and then come upon this tiny cottage, you feel the peacefulness that Sunrise offers. It sits right on the edge, or shall I say submersed, in one of the most pristine waterfowl environment in northern Maine. Sunrise sits closest to the water's edge due to 1900 construction age. It has its own walking path down to the shoreline, and if you walk to the very edge of the water, take a left at low tide there is a walking beach .3 miles away.
If you are looking for a new modern experience, this is not the cottage for you. Sunrise is all about classic, comfort and inviting, unique old Maine stay.
Sunrise has neighbors directly in back of the cottage, so we ask to be respectful to them. Please do not to drive on the lawn or park in front of their garage. Thank you.

What makes this property unique
Sunrise is located on the desirable stretch of South Lubec road, and is one of the oldest cottages in Lubec. Sunrise is all about giving comfort, while still giving you the classic old Maine stay, one the reason why people come to visit Lubec. Sunrise is the true experience of Maine, a memory that you will not forget!
