Pleasant but needed some TLC
Posted Oct. 26, 2024 on HomeAwayWe 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.

Thank you for the review, Elizabeth. I wish you had asked us questions if you were unsure of things -- certainly we provide instructions for the appliances, but perhaps you missed them? We send in an email with a full summary of what to expect and instructions. We would be happy to help or answer questions, too. We always want our guests to be happy and comfortable. I am glad you enjoyed the house overall. Thanks again.

Serenity By The Sea
Posted Oct. 18, 2024 on HomeAwayThe home is located in a beautiful location that was very easy to access. We enjoyed morning walks and time spent just enjoying the view. Our only regret is that we didn't stay longer!

A Great Getaway
Posted Aug. 29, 2024 on HomeAwayThe 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.

Great stay!
Posted Aug. 14, 2024 on HomeAwayGreat stay with a beautiful view. The only thing is that the landscaping could be done. The accommodations were great and easy to manage.

Truly Serene
Posted Jul. 21, 2024 on HomeAwayLoved the house. Looking out on the water in the morning and evenings was so relaxing! There was a heat wave but fans are available, so we made the best of it. Well stocked kitchen. Would stay again if visiting Bar Harbor.

Thank you Carolyn! So happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. Opening the windows with the fans usually makes a big difference. That sea breeze is lovely.

Serene and Away from the noise!
Posted Jul. 3, 2024 on HomeAwayThe 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
Posted Jul. 2, 2024 on HomeAwayThis 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.

Thank you for the nice review and the feedback Jennifer. I am glad you got to explore Sorrento and the quiet side of Acadia. So many people miss that and it is truly spectacular. I hope we see you again!

Aw thank you Allison! I am definitely sharing this with the housekeeper. It will be a real day brightener for her. I know they work hard!
