Photos and Description of the Acadia National Park vacation cottage rental
Cottage, 3 Bedrooms, 3 Baths (Sleeps 6)

Acadia Sunset Seaside Cottage offers you an opportunity to sample Acadia National Park, lobster, chowder, dining out, boating, sailing, canoeing, kayaking, ocean and freshwater swimming, hiking, walking, bicycling, blueberry picking, birding, garden touring, shopping in quaint boutiques, and more -- or to just get some quiet relaxation and reading time in your cozy oceanfront cottage. Acadia Sunset Seaside Cottage is a 3-bedroom, 3-bath house right on the water with your own access to a private stretch of shore. It has a game room, reading room, and relaxing, screened-in porch in addition to living, kitchen, and dining rooms. It is well suited to accommodate multiple generations or a small group of friends, where you can both enjoy common rooms and preserve your privacy.

You can enjoy any of several cozy nooks to settle in with a good book. Or play ping pong with friends or family on a day at home. You are surrounded by gorgeous sunsets that you can enjoy in your private screened-in porch every evening. And you are steps away from your own private stretch of beach, where you can put in a canoe or kayak, beach comb for shells and sea treasures, or simply enjoy the view out to Maine's famous island-dotted shore, with the Nature Conservancy's Placentia Island in the distance, and Swan's Island just beyond. Every room has a water view and en suite bath. You are less than five minutes' drive from the Acadia National Park trails called Wonderland and Ship's Harbor, which bring you out to gorgeous rocky bluffs along the open ocean and Maine's famous rocky coast. A minute more and you're at Bass Harbor Head Light, the most photographed lighthouse on the U.S. East Coast. In five minutes you’re in Southwest Harbor with ample opportunities for shopping, dining, and boating; in two more minutes you’re hiking Acadia Mountain or swimming in Echo Lake; and in ten minutes you're in Bar Harbor, with its quaint shops, restaurants, whale watching, naturalist boating, sailing, deep-sea diving, Park tours, and many other opportunities.

Few locations in the United States can compare to the beauty and diversity of Mt. Desert Island (MDI) and Acadia National Park. Acadia National Park and its famous gateway towns are treasured the world over as some of the most beautiful spots “where the mountains meet the sea.” Ocean, lakes, mountains, miles and miles of hiking trails, dedicated bicycling and walking trails, gorgeous countryside, and the towns of Tremont, Southwest Harbor, Northeast Harbor, and Bar Harbor provide unlimited opportunities for relaxation and recreation. Come for some much-needed rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation at Acadia Sunset Seaside Cottage!

Why Peter Cutrone chose Acadia National Park

What makes this cottage unique

Charming, Cozy yet Spacious

5 of 5
Submitted: November 23, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
My wife and I came to Maine for a long weekend in October to see the fall foliage and hike Acadia with our four (1 teen, 3 pre-teen) boys. The cottage was beautiful, nicely decorated, and very clean, with all the amenities. What surprised me most was how comfortably we all fit. It was cozy, yet we still managed to get our own space. The ping-pong table was a big plus for the boys. The owners, Joy and Peter, were very responsive, though our contact with them was minimal because the cottage provided everything we needed.

My only regret is that I didn't book the entire week... but we'll be back.
Owner's Response: We're very happy the cottage suited you and your boys. You're welcome back any time.
Best Regards from Joy & Peter

A perfect setting for any Acadia getaway

5 of 5
Submitted: October 8, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
This was our third year renting on Mount Desert Island from the Cutrones, and our first year staying in Acadia Sunset. The photos of the cottage don't quite give justice to the setting on Duck Cove on the "quiet side" of MDI. The rolling green lawn down to the rocky cove coastline is magical, and sunsets truly are amazing from the porch. The amenities in the cottage are perfect for a few days or week-long stay. Everything is always clean and neat upon arrival, all furniture and rugs in very good condition. The bed in the master bedroom is delightfully comfortable, and the two upstairs bedrooms are charming. The kitchen layout is spacious and the downstairs ping pong table remains a hit with the kids every year. All of this combined with the excellent communication and helpfulness of the Cutrones guarantees that we will be back!
Owner's Response: Thank you for sharing your experience with fellow travelers. We appreciate it, and are so glad you continue to enjoy your vacations here!

Gorgeous sunsets

We loved our week at Acadia Sunset cottage. The cottage's location is lovely, overlooking a tidal cove and perfectly situated to watch the sunset from the side porch. After a full day of hiking, biking or exloring the island, we raced back so that we could relax and enjoy that view. The location is close to Southwest Harbor and Bass Harbor so it was easy to get to stores or restaurants. And the cottage was clean and well set up for our traveling family (2 adults, 2 teens). I'd highly recommend the property for a nice summer vacation getaway.

Owner's Response: Thank you for sharing your experience, Daphne. It helps others envision what it's really like to stay. And we're very glad you enjoyed your stay! We just stayed ourselves, to make sure we soaked up enough sunsets to last a while! Best Regards - Joy

Lovely cottage-peaceful, lovely water views

5 of 5

A true Maine experience! The cottage is more than promised. The pictures don't do justice to the water views. We were so pleasantly surprised when we entered the house-clean, open, and comfy. The stairs down to the private rocky beach added to the experience. My teens loved the ping pong room which provided hours of entertainment. They were also impressed with the WiFi...no need to completely "unplug". The sign of a good vacation is when you don't want to leave. That was the case after spending the week at the cottage.
Owner's Response: Super! We're so glad that the cottage worked well for both you and your teens. We want it to be "your" special place when you come. We've succeeded when you wish it didn't end! Hope to see you again next year - Joy & Peter.

When we arrived we were happy to see that the house was exactly like the desciption on the internet. The pictures were right on the money. Very nice house that was very roomy and very homey. Beds were sooo comfortable. I usually do not sleep well away from home but slept very good here. Everything you could possibly need was provided for us. Everything was very clean and all ready for us when we got here. I would definatly recommend staying here. Its great.
Owner's Response: That's terrific that you had a comfortable and restful stay - perhaps the fresh sea air had a hand in that, too! Thank you for sharing your experience; we're so glad you enjoyed your stay.
