Oceanfront Maine Escape: Minutes to Acadia’s Quiet Schoodic Side

  • Wake up to harbour views, fall asleep to ocean breezes, and spend your days soaking in the quiet magic of coastal Maine. This bright and breezy 2BR/2BA cottage sits above peaceful Sorrento Harbour—just a 1-minute stroll to the Town Dock—and offers front-row seats to sunrises, sailboats, and soaring eagles.

    Why You’ll Love It

    The main living space is filled with natural light and sweeping water views—perfect for film nights or lazy afternoons. Curl up with a book in the cosy sunroom or head downstairs for a second hangout space with a TV and queen futon.

    Cook & Gather

    The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to whip up a lobster dinner or simple breakfast. Dine together at the table for six with harbour views as your backdrop.

    ~30 miles to Bar Harbour
    Minutes to Acadia’s Schoodic Peninsula (less crowded, equally stunning)
    Explore nearby islands, paddle along the coast, bike scenic roads, or play a round at Sorrento’s charming 9-hole golf course overlooking Flanders Bay.

Very comfortable stay. Came to see Acadia for our 45th Anniversary and could not have been more blessed than we were here. You had every utensil and accessory for cooking and the loveliest view every morning! And great beds! Again, thank you, we hope to be able to return.

This property was perfect for us. It was an opportunity for four adults to relax, cook together, be together, and take long walks. I love the road that went right in front of the house, and the beautiful walks we were able to take. The house was gorgeous, and the views from the living room are breathtaking.

Serene and Away from the noise!

The stay in Sorrento was great for a family trip with my girlfriend and parents. Loved the home and location! 45 minutes from Acadia National Park but off the touristy radar so we could still have quiet nights looking out at the water and peaceful mornings doing the same

Family trip

The home was spacious, very clean, and had everything we needed! We were disappointed the weather was rainy, foggy, and cool most of our trip, so we didn’t get to enjoy sitting outside and the view. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a peaceful getaway!

Amazing Spot

Quiet and relaxing with a wonderful view into the harbor. The house is beautiful, cozy, and rustic with incredible views of numerous small boats and fishing vessels in Sorrento Harbor as you sip your morning coffee from the roof deck, it’s very quaint and lovely. It’s everything you’d imagine from a stay on the Maine coastline.

Loved the house. Looking out on the water in the morning and evenings was so relaxing! There was a heat wave but fans are available, so we made the best of it. Well stocked kitchen. Would stay again if visiting Bar Harbor.

Quiet neighborhood with spectacular views of the bay. The house was larger then expected. We had 2 vehicles, so parking was a challenge, but manageable.

We wanted a getaway waterfront experience without the usual tourist trappings and this house was in the perfect location. The rooftop deck was perfect for watching the boats on the water and the fog lifting in the morning. The decor is all things related to Maine culture. We enjoyed strolling the streets of Sorrento and admiring the vintage vacation homes of the area. We would like to emphasize for interested renters, that this home does require the ability to climb a full flight of exterior stairs with your luggage to enter & access the living areas of the home.

Wonderful View/comfortable accommodations

Nice, well kept house away from the hustle & bustle of Bar Harbor for our first visit to the Coast of Maine. Loved having morning coffee on the deck with the view of the harbor and ocean and then at night sitting out taking in the star-filled sky. Only suggestion would be to leave either the porch or garage light on on the day someone new is checking in for the first time. We arrived well after dark and had a hard time seeing where the door was to enter the house.
