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.

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!

Was very comfortable and relaxing! Beautiful views all around and sunsets!!

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.

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.

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.

We enjoyed our stay. The cottage is decorated nicely. The downstairs bedroom and the bathroom are cute and when we booked there weren't pictures up, so now you know. One bedroom upstairs has a sliding door. The other is an open loft space with less privacy. The kitchen was well stocked and we enjoyed our meals there. Buy groceries before arriving. We loved the blackout curtains in the sleeping spaces. More rentals should have them. We loved the location with the long driveway and few quiet neighbors. The water was beautiful. Be aware that if walking is difficult for you, it will not be easy for you to get to the water's edge. It's a bit of an uneven hill and slippery rocks once you get down. My kids still loved it. My daughter says go down on your butt. She's 4 and knows about these things. This home has several scented products. It's not heavily scented but it's enough that if you're sensitive to these things you'll notice. Right before you turn onto Grand Marsh Bay Road is a very nice sandy beach called Sand Cove Beach. You park on the busier road and walk down. We loved it there!

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.

Everything was great! Watching the sun set across the bay from the rock beach on a 74 degree in July ... just perfect. Thank you!

My family enjoyed our stay at the Sunset Cove Cottage! The house itself was very clean and spacious, with beautiful views all around! The bay was ever changing with the rise and fall of the tide, and the quietness of the surrounding woods on the property was magical. This area is very remote…..but if you are like our family and would rather be away from the touristy areas (like Bar Harbor, which is about an hours drive away) then you will enjoy it! My husband is an avid fisherman, and was a little disappointed with the lack of good fishing at the property, but we loved being able to sit on the warm granite shore when the tide was up, and watching the crabs and muscles come out when the tide went out. Plus, Schoodic Point is a beautiful and quiet section of Acadia National Park, and a close drive (25 minutes) for amazing views and fishing - I highly recommend a sunset at the point! The kids loved exploring the woods, and while we didn’t see any wildlife on our trip, there was plenty of evidence in the woods that they are around 😊 The smaller towns around us (Birch Harbor, Winter Harbor, Corea) were scenic and quiet, with enough little restaurants and activities to keep us busy, but again avoid any type of crowd. Thank you Susan for providing great communication, easy check in/out instructions, and all the suggestions of things to do in the area! We enjoyed our time!

Beautiful place that is in a wonderful location

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.

We came to celebrate my now fiancés 40th birthday and had the most perfect time. Secluded and surrounded by stunning views.

We very much enjoyed our stay. The home is beautifully decorated and has everything you need. It is comfortable with plenty of space for the three of us, indoors and outdoors. It is remote and serene with beautiful views of the bay.

The location was very peaceful and beautiful. Susan was a great host with a ton of local suggestions. Would 100% recommend and wish we were still there.

Nice and would definitely stay there again.

The cottage was very relaxing! We enjoyed watching the tide come in everyday. It was close to Bar Harbor’s restaurants and shops as well as Acadia’s wonders. The only complaint was from my son about the wi-fi which couldn’t be helped. We played board games instead!

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.

My friend and I spent almost a week here and enjoyed being able to relax. The cove was quiet and was the perfect place to watch the sunset.

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 .

This was a great rental property. Lovely area! Just a few items need to be cared for which I submitted to the rental agency.

Such a special property. Surrounded by nature. (Only wish they’d fix the potholes coming in!)House is lovely, gorgeous views, super clean; and a great home base for exploring the Acadia area. Great and fast communication with rental manager. Highly recommend

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The land itself is extremely beautiful, and the house is clean and bright. Susan was also very responsive to our questions.

First, let me say without reserve that the property was lovely. Clean, well stocked with everything to enjoy ones self. The peacefulness and view of the water were amazing. There are just a few things to be aware of to make sure one has an exemplary vacation. 1. Use Google Maps to get there. Apple Maps adds about a half hour of travel time because it ignores a road. 2. Bar Harbor being 10 miles away only matters if you can fly. If you are planning any excursions or have any plans for Acadia, your traveling time is over an hour. Plan accordingly. 3. Be of reasonably strong health if you want to go down to the waterfront on the property. My wife and I found it impossible to navigate down to the water, but there is a lovely beach about 5 minutes away. With these few things to be aware of, don't hesitate to go and have a fantastic time!

Place was very clean and well kept. Susan got back with us quickly with all questions we had. The only problem we had was the road the place is on is gravel. It had a lot of pot holes and we had a flat due to this. The AAA person suggested that we take Paul Bunyan road and we would only be on the the gravel road a short time.(this helped a great deal.) Only one other inconvenience was that we had no television reception for regular tv stations, could only get Netfix by using one of our accounts and password. Was a very nice stay. We had a great time.

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.

Good experience, property manager was able to help with any questions

It is a great location in every-way and it is also well furnished, I wish we had a second bathroom, even a half bathroom would make it very good and convenient. We loved the sculpture at the entrance.

This property exceeded our expectations, the house itself was very comfortable and well appointed. The location is very private and beautiful with views of the cove. This would be a great choice for a peaceful retreat from life!

3 adults.We had great time.Road to cabin not so good and driveway rough for regular car clearance, but we managed and would stay there again.
