Very relaxing location

A great place to stay if your looking for a quiet week. Its about 45 minutes to acadia and most things to do with kids. If you dont mind a little drive to be able to get a peaceful place away from all the crowds I would highly recommend.

We had the best time staying in Sorrento. Miranda was a very gracious host. The house was amazing and very comfortable for all five of us. We enjoyed the location and walking along the beach. We felt very safe staying in this area. We look forward to returning.

Quiet serenity

This property is located close enough to visit Bar Harbor several times during our stay yet far enough away to enjoy a quiet, rural setting. The area is beautiful! If you want both a quiet retreat with day trips to see lighthouses, whale watching tours, leaf peeping, and so much more, you’ll enjoy this location.

The house is a hidden gem! It is across the street f/m the bay with stunning views of MDI/Bar Harbor

Enjoyed the walks in the neighborhood and along the bay and the marina, the fireplace, the chairs on the lawn, the beds, great library, games. Every element of this 4-seasons house, interior, exterior, and grounds, is very well thought of and intended to provide enjoyable time. Many establishments were closed for the season when we visited in early October and still, we had plenty to do. Only minor setback was that if you are looking for big supermarket, you have to go to Ellsworth or Trenton. However, Ellsworth and Trenton are on the way to Acadia/MDI/Bar Harbor and very convenient to stop by in one of the big supermarkets or Walmart there. Alternatively, there are also two or three smaller places available nearby for general food or house necessities or to grab prepared food if you don't want to cook. We stayed 9 days and loved every moment of it.

What a place!!

We had a truly wonderful week enjoying this property and the beautiful natural surroundings. The house is clean, open plan, and really captures the spirit of the area. Great views to the harbor, islands, and the mountains of Acadia National Park. The owners are wonderful, and really care about the home and the enjoyment of their guests.
