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.

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 50 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.

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!

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.

My husband and I had a relaxing and enjoyable stay at Tracey’s beautiful property. As advertised, the view was gorgeous and we enjoyed seeing the changes in the sky and water at all times of day. The property is a little off the beaten track, but the drive to major attractions like Acadia and Bar Harbor was manageable, and the tranquility after a busy day was appreciated. The property was clean and we had all of the basics that we needed. Tracey was a gracious and responsive host. We will be recommending the property to several other friends!

We stayed for 3 nights while visiting Bar Harbor/Acadia. The house was perfect for our family of 4 and the view was absolutely beautiful! We just wish we had reserved it for additional days just so we could relax and enjoy the view more. We saw beautiful sunsets, seals, birds, deer, and even had an eagle land on the "beach" rocks our last morning. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home - we will definitely be back!

Private and Peaceful Getaway

This property was by far one of the cleanest well stocked places we have ever stayed through VRBO! It was EXACTLY as pictured and described in all the photos. The setting is so beautiful and peaceful, and we really appreciated being away from the crowds in Bar Harbor and Acadia at the end of each day after hiking and sightseeing at both these places.

Beautiful cottage! The view! The view! The view!

Wow! So happy we chose this amazing cottage for our 25th anniversary trip to Maine. Excellent communication with the host before & during.. answering questions and giving us a lot of info and suggestions on what to do and where to go locally for food and excursions. The cottage is private & peaceful with an amazing view of the Tidal Falls. The wildlife is incredible! We saw harbor seals, bald eagles, great blue herons, osprey, cormorants & loons daily! There was even a whale (most likely a minke whale) that came in with the tide a few days too! So cool! We found starfish & sea snails at low tide. Gorgeous sunsets! The cottage is incredibly clean, comfortable & well stocked with everything you need. We bought fresh lobsters and got great deals from a local co-op twice on the Schoodic Peninsula along with fresh oysters from another local guy and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our delicious dinners. Maine lobsters & oysters are something special! We drove all around the Schoodic peninsula to the small towns (Winter harbor, south harbor & Corea) and also visited the Schoodic Peninsula of Acadia NP. Saw a porcupine driving in, climbed the rocks & experienced the beautiful scenery! The cottage is a 40-50 min drive to Bar Harbour and Acadia NP. We loved the Park Loop drive and hiked a bunch of scenic trails there 3 different days too! A nature lovers dream vacation! Beautiful mountains, fresh sea air, delicious foods! 10/10 would love to return & stay here again

5 stars – A Peaceful Retreat That Exceeded Expectations!

This place was absolutely immaculate—spotless from top to bottom. We were immediately struck by how peaceful and inviting it felt. The setting was quiet and relaxing, perfect for a restful getaway. One of the biggest surprises was how well-stocked everything was. From tissue and paper towels to a variety of spices in the kitchen, it felt like the hosts had thought of everything. We didn’t have to run out the first night to shop. The wildlife was an added surprise.Highly recommend and would absolutely stay again!

Tidal Ledge - was the best!

Our 6-day stay at Tidal Lodge cottage was a trip to remember. The atmosphere was outstanding with an impeccably clean home and unparalleled views. We saw bald eagles and seals, cormorants, and so many other cool creatures every morning and evening. Tracey was the best host with regular communication in advance and during our stay. We’ll be back, for certain. 10/10!

Tidal serenity

I would give this property 100 stars if I could! Best VRBO I have ever stayed. It is immaculate, private, well appointed with floor to ceiling windows looking over the tidal basin. The tidal water changes are a show in themselves and the wildlife adds to its splendor. The gas fireplace warmed the rooms when the air cooled in the evening. Full kitchen to eat-in and use. A perfect size home for a couple or two. Bar Harbor and Acadia NP are a short drive, and Hancock has many hiking options. But the best part was sitting by the water's edge in the Adirondack chairs and watching the tide roll in, pause for a bit and roll out. Can't beat it. Tracey was fantastic - start to finish. I wish we could have stayed longer. We'll be back! Thanks Tracey! :)

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.

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!
