Our stay at Sunset Ledge was exactly what we had anticipated and more! The location was perfect for our family, allowing us to get to Acadia with ease while also allowing for activities closer by, too. The property is even cleaner and better looking than the photos listed and I even felt comfortable with our infant crawling around. Having the beach front just down the path was wonderful for afternoon/evening dips and seashell hunting. The host provides water jugs and propane tank to help with the stay and was easily accessible for questions. We would certainly recommend a stay at Sunset Ledge and plan to return.

This was a great place to stay, and functioned perfectly for us and our two young kids. The kitchen was very well-stocked, the beds were comfortable, both bedrooms had A/C, and it was so CLEAN! (This is always the thing I hope and look for in Vrbo rentals.) The hosts were very responsive and a joy to work with. We would definitely stay here again, and recommend that you do, too!

This property was even better than described! Clean, well appointed, and in the perfect location for sightseeing or lounging by the ocean looking for sea glass. Owners were quick to respond when we had questions. We wanted for nothing during our stay here- we’ll definitely be back!

So delightful- the house is welcoming and has it all. Loved the quiet beach location and just sitting outside having coffee in the morning looking at the water. It’s a bit of a ride to Bar Harbor and Acadia but well worth it. Ellen and Ryan are just wonderful hosts- can’t say enough about how they care for their guests. If I visit Maine again, that’s where I’ll be!!

A Gem of a location and property.

We spent 12-nights at this house and loved every moment! Our host Ellen provided exceptional hospitality and customer service. The location is off the beaten path and has a wonderful view of the water and a short path to walk down and to enjoy the cool water and views. The house itself is great for a group of Four. Ellen has all the essentials you need for a great stay. I would recommend that you stop and get your groceries before you arrive as the nearest grocery store is about a 20-minute drive. Make sure if you like ice to stop and get some. Overall this is a gem of a place and I guarantee you’ll love the location and peacefulness?

Just book it

This place was perfect for our first visit to Maine. It was close enough to Acadia, but far enough to be away from the crowds and traffic. When we didn’t feel like driving to the park, we explored Schoodic peninsula, and went to a few of the preserves on Hancock Point. The only “complaint” we had was that there were no condiments or spices there. My husband loves to cook, so he had to improvise or purchase, and then we had to bring it all home with us. We drove, so it wasn’t a big deal. Other than that, the house was super comfortable and the area was so peaceful and quiet. It was also much bigger than it seems in the pictures. Thank you, Ellen and Ryan for sharing this beautiful house with us!

Amazing Stay in an Amazing Place

We had a wonderful time at Sunset Ledge. The home is immaculate and very welcoming. It had everything we needed and more. The property was gorgeous, set in quiet Hancock Point with great views, plenty of yard and a short tree-lined walking path down to the water for daily sea glass hunting & kayaking! Only about a 45 minute scenic drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor too! Ellen, our host was just fantastic and always only a text away if we had a question. We very much look forward to returning to Sunset Ledge real soon!

Beautiful Property!

This is one of the best properties we have ever stayed in. Such a beautiful home and the location is just breathtaking. The house is perfect, so clean and has everything you need for your home away from home. The home is tucked back in the woods, overlooking the water. You can walk on the property to the beach. The town of Hancock is fabulous and surrounded by amazing restaurants and small coastal towns. Bar Harbor and Acadia are close by and the drive is super easy. We LOVED coming back to the property after a long day of hiking in Acadia, relaxing on the beach, watching the sunset and searching for sea glass. So great to stay in a home away from the crowds. Ryan and Ellen are wonderful hosts, so gracious and helpful. Thank you for sharing this amazing property. We are so grateful for the beautiful week we had with our family and the memories made.

A wonderful way to experience coastal Maine!

We selected Sunset Ledge because of the rave reviews - and they were all true! We needed a house that was comfortable fo c r someone with chronic back issues ( hello, two recliners!) and also offered things to do for the kids. The open floor plan was so accommodating and the house was immaculate. We rented a kayak for the wee v k and enjoyed the water- we even took our paddle board out on a calm morning! And we saw a seal in our back ocean-yard! Schoodic and Acadia MDI are both breathtaking and an easy 40-45 minutes away, and the Super-Walmart is less than 20 minutes for provisioning. The kitchen was so well-stocked that cooking at home was a joy. The host was very thoughtful and responded so quickly to all of our questions - even for a perfect local restaurant for lobster and non-lobster eaters (Ruth and Wimpy’s). All in all, it was the perfect vacation spot!

A lovely place

The house is wonderful, is fully stocked, the host is gracious and very responsive, the backyard has a private beach, and the sunsets are out of the world. What more can one ask for? This is a perfect vacation away from home house. Only a very small caution, and that is purely for people looking to spend daily time at Acadia national park - The property is located 30 min from Schoodic point part of Acadia and 45 min from Bar Harbor side of Acadia. We did not have issues driving there at all but something to keep in mind.

Maine Stay

The pictures do not do it justice. What a beautiful and welcoming home. Extremely clean. Ellen and Ryan thought of everything. The little touches make you feel so 'at home'. I don't think I have ever experienced such a well stocked kitchen! Everything you need to cook, bake, and steam seafood is there. The shoreline and tides are great to explore. One day we simply vegged out and explored the cable channels. It was so relaxing. Initially we had planned on a family visit but unfortunately they got stuck at an airport in another state and were not able to join us. But we made the best of it, exploring the many pamphlets Ellen has available so you can see what's around the area to see - Acadia Nat'l Park, Schoodic Point, town of Ellsworth, Bar Harbor, museums, and a great little restaurant about 10 minutes away called Ruth & Wimpys, has wonderful seafood. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you Ellen & Ryan!

Nice Stay in Hancock Point

My family and I had a great time at the property. We were permitted to check in a little early... The house was very clean and had everything we needed for a week long stay. The location in Hancock Point is serene. We had our own private beach where we could wander around looking for shells and seaglass. One day, we even saw a seal playing around about 100 feet out from the beach, popping its head up every 5 minutes to say hello. The location is convenient to major places to see... Winter Harbor and that side of Acadia is about 30 minutes away. Bar Harbor and core Acadia is 40 minutes away. Ellsworth is 20 minutes with grocery stores and shopping. The location is a great "in between" spot for those looking for a quiet waterfront house to get away!

Acadia Vacation

I would recommend this vacation home! The home was very welcoming, extraordinarily clean and lastly had comfortable beds. The owner was very organized and had extras you won’t find in other rentals such as bottled/bubbler drinking water and window A/C units for the bedrooms. The A/C was definitely needed and kept the bedrooms nice and cool. The grill and fire pit were great! The owner even provides your fire wood. If you are looking for seclusion with a beautiful setting, this is it! My youngest daughter did swim on the beach and loved jumping off the rock shelf into the water. The cold water didn’t bother her, but know the water was very cold in July. We easily found sea glass everyday on the beach!!! That was so much fun combing for sea glass! It was about 40-50 minutes to access the various Acadia Park entrances that are spread throughout the area. The Walmart was a quick 15-20 minute drive. The location was great for my family and our love of the outdoors. Our favorite highlights in the area were hiking the Schoodic Peninsula, taking a fishing boat charter out of bass harbor and lastly visiting Tidal Falls a few times to find hundreds of star fish during low tide! Tidal falls is only an 8 min drive from the rental. We would definitely stay again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this home. It is perfectly positioned to explore Acadia and areas beyond. It was an excellent and comfortable home base to return to relax and prepare for the next day’s adventure. The house is clean, well stocked with essentials, and nicely appointed. It is quiet, roomy, and accommodated our family of four perfectly. Highly recommended if you are looking for a place a little off the beaten path but close enough to everything.

I’ve stayed at properties all over the country and have never seen one so clean and the kitchen so well furbished. Great place to spend the week exploring Acadia National Park and Mount Desert Island. About 40 minutes from Bar Harbor but not too far away. Great location and very peaceful. Great communication with the owner as well.

This property was more spacious than the pictures do it justice. We had absolutely everything we needed for our family of five with most of our meals being cooked at home.
