About this cottage rental

Oceanfront cottage situated just 60 feet from the rocky shoreline of Dyer Bay. Nestled among spruce and fir trees with water on two sides and over 185 ft. of frontage, this home provides access to all the best that DownEast Maine has to offer. Whether you are kayaking on the bay, bicycling on any number of local bike paths or hiking one of the spectacular ocean trails, this is a perfect place where you can relax and unwind.
Appropriately named "Sunset Point", this cottage is located on a private drive on Goods Point in Steuben. It was completely rebuilt in 2016 so everything is new! Relax and enjoy the wonderful views on the wraparound deck or down on the rocks by the water's edge. You can watch the lobster boats work their traps in the bay, and then anchor them for the night in front of the cottage. In the fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances you can steam your own lobster in our pot, or grill steaks on the gas grill on the deck. The living area and dining room are open with a cathedral ceiling with wall to wall picture windows which flows into the kitchen. Two doors lead you onto the deck which has a full complement of deck furniture including (2) bar height tables. Every room has a ceiling fan (including all three bedrooms), which will keep you cool while watching the 42" HDTV with blu ray DVD and satellite service. Plus the cottage has WIFI. Three bedrooms (two queen and one with twin beds), 2 bathrooms, one with tub/shower, stackable washer and dryer and all the amenities you would expect for a perfect vacation getaway.
Bring your kayaks and launch them from a private cove next to the cottage. Then paddle out to explore Dyer Bay and Fish Island. Go around the bend to see if bald eagles are perched in their nest. Sunset Point Cottage is an ideal spot to venture off and visit any number of amazing places. Explore beautiful McClellan Park in the neighboring town of Milbridge or hike the trails on Pigeon Hill or in the Petit Manan Wildlife Refuge. Just 30 minutes away is the absolute "must see' of Acadia National Park's Schoodic Point with it's spectacular granite cliffs and crashing surf. This park has walking and bike trails and is much less crowded than the larger and more well know park to the south. 1 hour south is Bar Harbor, Mount Desert Island and the wonders of Acadia National Park, which includes Cadillac Mt., Thunder Hole, Ocean Drive, the Bass Harbor Lighthouse, Jordan Pond countless hiking trails and the wondrous 40 miles of Carriage Roads (available only to foot traffic, bikers and horseback!) To the north you can drive 1 1/4 hours to hike the Bold Coast Trails at Cutler and then visit the West Quoddy Head lighthouse at Quoddy Head State Park. Don't forget to bring your passport to cross into Canada to visit the summer home of President Franklin D. Roosevelt on Campobello Island.
With the cottage's central location on the DownEast coast you have many options to choose from when planning the day's events. You may just prefer to put your feet up and read a book on the deck. Maybe spend the day painting or let the camera lens capture the beauty. Whichever you choose, this is a perfect place to disconnect whether you are here for a peaceful retreat or a family adventure.

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.

Wow! It was amazing! Everything we could ask for. The best part was bonfires on the beach and proximity to Schoodic Penninsula!

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!

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...

We got away for a short holiday weekend and fell in love with this property. Everything was as they stated and the firepit on the rocks was as wonderful as we expected. Thank you for sharing your property with us!

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!

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.
