About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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.

For the comfort of all guests and to maintain the condition of our home, we do not allow pets under any circumstances.

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 75 inch flat screen television with Roku streaming available, 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.

The views of the water and tree colors were spectacular. Location was close to many good restaurants and not far from Bar Harbor and Acadia Park. The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed. We look forward to planning our return .

Talk about a total gem!! If you are looking for a peaceful place to stay with incredible views and wildlife, then this is the place to stay. The reversing falls are fascinating to watch, the layout of the house and views from inside are perfect, and the host was extremely helpful. We have found a new favorite place to visit!

This cottage is absolutely delightful! The views are simply stunning, both from the deck and from inside. The outdoor seating areas are wonderful for reading, conversation and simply chilling! The beds were very comfortable with comfy linens. The host left us a lovely welcome bag and she was very thoughtful in her communication. We found some great restaurants, most especially Union River Lobster. We highly recommend this VRBO.

This home was the highlight of our trip! The communication was A as we were arriving after dark and needed food recommendations. Helen's chowder and stews were a perfect item to bring back to the house. The location is absolutely beautiful and exactly how it was described. We loved sitting outside watching the boats come in to pull their lobster pots and relaxing in the evening around the fire. We also appreciated the welcome gifts. That was so thoughtful!
Watched the sunset on Cadillac Mountain!

Magnificent Place to Stay

This place is beautiful, well kept, and tranquil. Nearby is Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. You have all the amenities you would ever need and Tracey and her team quickly respond to any and all inquiries. We hope to return to the same place next year.

We absolutely loved it here and can’t wait to come back! The house is perfect and the views can’t be topped. We loved sitting out back and watching the tides and wildlife (lots of seals) and both said spending time at the house was a highlight of our vacation!

Feels like home

Have stayed at this location for the past 3 years and we want to go back. It is a peaceful stay for us in a beautiful location with an ever-changing view of the tidal river. The quality and attention to detail makes this cottage so comfortable. Location is perfect to visit both Acadia, Schoodic and of DownEast Maine, which we love to visit.

Fantastic Place

My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights, what a wonderful place. The scenery out back is so beautiful, getting to watch the tide go in out is amazing. The place is awesome, just as advertised. I have stayed in a many VRBO's this place has the softest towels ever. The host Tracey was so accommodating to our needs. If you get a chance to go to Maine, make this place one of your stays. We would definitely stay here again.

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.

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!

Water Front Fabulousness

My small family stayed at this cottage for a getaway to Maine. It was so lovely in every way. The view was stunning and it was so fun to observe the changing tides. There was not a single thing we needed that was not provided. The kitchen was well stocked and the appliances were new functioned perfectly. The location was a bit off the beaten path but that’s want we wanted and driving into Acadia was quick and easy. I would book this place again in a second!

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!!!
