Serenity A Deck w Great View, 14 mins to Quiet Side Acadia

PRICING - All inclusive pricing makes booking your vacation easy.
One price + VRBO - AirBnB booking fee & Tax = Straightforward Reservation and No surprises

The ocean breeze puts my mind at spectacular sunrises and sunsets and true serenity on the Maine coast at this bright and sunny rental, Serenity by The Sea has two spacious living areas, a sunroom, and a waterfront deck. Sorrento is very conveniently located. A short drive up the peninsula to Coastal Route 1 takes you to several great restaurants and a quaint general store. 14 miles to Ellsworth, for plenty of shops and dining options. This is the gateway to Acadia National Park (Bar Harbor is about 30 miles) and 14 miles in the opposite direction is the Schoodic Peninsula entry to Acadia. This is known as the quiet side of Acadia, which offers breathtaking views as well as a ferry to Bar Harbor, to avoid traffic.

LIVING AREA Picture windows flood the main living area with ample natural light and offer amazing harbor views. Unwind and watch a movie on the 50” flat-screen TV. Or enjoy a book or game in the cozy seating area, furnished with a love seat, chairs and game table. Sip morning coffee in the lovely sunroom, equipped with abundant window seating. Downstairs, a second living area offers additional sleeping on the queen futon, and a flat-screen TV.

KITCHEN & DINING Whip up meals in the large well-equipped kitchen that features a full suite of appliances, drip coffee maker and ample counter space. When you are ready to dine, gather at the table for six while enjoying the views.

BED & BATH This two-story home sleeps up to six guests between the two bedrooms and a futon in the second living area. The master bedroom is furnished with a queen bed, a twin daybed with a twin trundle, and an en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower. A sunny bay window offers a wonderful place to take in the harbor views. A second bedroom offers a queen bed. The adjacent guest bathroom is configured with a walk-in shower.

AMENITIES & DETAILS Complimentary Wi-Fi, a washer/dryer, and driveway parking for 1 car, with additional off-street parking, are provided. This rental does not have air-conditioning. The entry to this two-story home is accessed via a flight of exterior stairs

OUTDOOR AREA A spacious front deck is the perfect place to relax and soak up the sun. Watch the lobster and sailboats travel through the harbor, the tides change, and observe the various sea birds.

You are going to love sitting on the roof deck for morning coffee or evening cocktails. There are unsurpassed views and it's the perfect spot to watch eagles hunt for their dinner. At night, you have unobstructed views to watch for shooting stars.

THE LOCATION The Historic village of Sorrento was developed as a summer community for the wealthy in the mid 1880s. It is now a true hidden gem in Down East Maine. A very desirable, secluded community offering spectacular views of Bar Harbor and the mountains of Mount Desert Island. Sorrento’s 9 -hole public golf course is a rare jewel on the rugged Maine coast, echoing the more storied layouts of St. Andrews and Royal Troon, Scotland. The open, links-style course offers exquisitely manicured bent grass greens and stunning views of Flanders Bay. Bring your kayak (or rent one) and explore the densely forested Preble Island -- located directly across the harbor -- known for its cobble beaches and roosting eagles. Or discover the many nearby islands. Other local activities include biking, boating, fishing, and bird watching.

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!

Pleasant but needed some TLC

We were excited to be in Maine, for our first time in Acadia National Park. The house was charming but needed some TLC, the front was full of leaves and everything was overgrown, quite hard to use the yard. The BBQ was quite dirty and no brushes to use to clean it. The kitchen was well appointed, except the portable dishwasher did not have any instructions, so we did not feel comfortable using it. The kitchen, living area and bedrooms were comfortable and pleasant. We did not use the lower level sleeping area. The view every morning was fantastic! The outdoor seating area over the garage was very nice, it could use a power wash. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and with a bit of TLC this place could be fantastic.

A Great Getaway

The house was very nice overall. It was a very good location to be able to access Acadia/Bar Harbor (about an easy 50 minute drive around the Mt Desert Narrows, Frenchman's Bay and their numerous tributaries and coves) while at the same time enjoying the nestled seclusion of Sorrento. There is a little market nearby that we did not notice until near the end of the trip (Dunbars) that is stocked with most of what you need for a good week's worth of meals to include adult beverages. The town's streets and roads provide ample ways to exercise safely. Very friendly and quiet location! One caution I would provide is that the shower off of the main living room is fairly small and very, very slippery. Be very careful when using it. That bathroom is also tight in space overall so it can only have one person using it at a time. Otherwise a great location especially if you want to be a bit further from the hustle of Bar Harbor but able to easily take a day trip there or to the National or local State Parks.

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

Very peaceful

This property worked very well for our family of 5 as a quiet alternative to staying in Bar Harbor for our exploration of Acadia. It’s very convenient to the Schoodic Penninsula portion of the park, and we really liked that less visited part of the park. The town of Sorrento is very peaceful, and it was nice wandering down the waterfront in the evening. The deck view from the house is lovely, and I spent a wonderful afternoon out there reading and enjoying the wearher. Our only complaint about the property is that the mattress in the second bedroom really needs an upgrade. The master, daybed in the master, and the futon in the basement were all very comfy.

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.

Charming but needs work

Property is very large and big enough to accommodate a larger family. All amenities are there. All beds did not have clean linens on check in, and house needed to be aired out on arrival (odd smell). Never fully got rid of smell and couldnt figure out the source. Beds are comfortable, and there is everything there you need to enjoy a family vacation and cook meals. There was ample hot water. The location is good for the park. You are away from the crowded tourist area but it comes at the cost of convenient restaurants. If you are planning on cooking most meals this is the right place. Overall, the house grew on me and has charm. Sitting on the deck watching the boats at the end of a long day of hiking was perfect.

Overall nice place. Quaint, quiet, wonderful view of the bay, clean. Room in basement has musty smell but they have dehumidifiers down there that somewhat helps. Water pressure could be improved as couldn’t take shower with dish washer or clothes washer going at same time or other shower. Just a heads up also, kitchen counters are very low. Not sure if it’s handicapped level but I’m not tall & my back was bothering me when doing dishes/cooking and reaching at lower level. Thanks for having us and we enjoyed visiting the surrounding area!

Lovely little home

We loved our stay here. The only downside for us was the distance to Acadia and Bar Harbor where we did most of our activities. The beds were so comfortable and we loved the little porch looking over the bay. We did a kayak tour right outside on the bay and it was fabulous. Saw porpoises, osprey and seals up close and personal! Cool!
