3 Bedroom Cottage in Sorrento

Looking for a quiet vacation place to rent early summer or fall? We have the perfect place for you-- our family vacation cottage on the beautiful Maine coast. The cottage is located in Sorrento, Maine, a small lobstering village that sits on a peninsula on Frenchman’s Bay and looks across to the mountains of Acadia National Park that rise out of the sea.
Sorrento is located in Maine’s storied “Down East,” 13 miles west of the small city of Ellsworth and 25 miles from Bangor—about an 8-9 hour drive from the New York metro region or five hours from Boston--just far enough to get away from smog, noise and congestion and close enough to nature to hear the cries of gulls and loons, to sight bald eagles, osprey, foxes.
Still a bargain on the Maine coast, the cottage sleeps up to 8 people—two bedrooms containing two queen beds, a bunk room with two bunk beds, and two additional twin beds in the loft. It has two full baths, living and dining areas, kitchen with dishwasher, a deck overlooking the bay, a fireplace, and a wood stove for Spring and Fall. The house DOES NOT have central heat. Our wood-burning stove is excellent and can efficiently heat the entire house on chilly days. There is plenty of wood in the basement, along with a washer and dryer. The house is fully furnished, including a library and linens - all surrounded by trees and the bay.
Across the bay and a 40-minute drive is Mt. Desert Island, home to the jewel of our national park system, Acadia National Park, with its great hiking trails and a view of mountains, islands, and sea from every summit. Also located on MDI is the resort town of Bar Harbor with its myriad tourist attractions like whale watch tours, plays, concerts, restaurants, etc. Nearer still is Schoodic Peninsula, another part of Acadia National Park.
Don’t count out the early summer or fall. These are quieter times for those who crave a real rest and with global warming heating up the planet these times are becoming more desirable.
We rent from Sunday to Sunday on a weekly basis.

Summary: The property is a perfect Maine get away. Beautiful views of Frenchman’s Bay and a charming community perfect for bicycling.The house is large,well appointed, and filled with good original art.The owner was very accommodating of our special request and when the dryer had an issue, the repairman was there the next day. I enjoy cooking and the kitchen was perfect with spices etc. We could not have had a better or more comfortable stay- it was very hard to leave.

Summary: The property is absolutely lovely, and even nicer than the listing. The photos do not do it justice. It is very well equipped and there was excellent information on the area, and the house itself. I especially enjoyed all the original family artwork on the walls. It was a chilly week so the plentiful supply of firewood was greatly appreciated. The lovely deck is a great place for coffee or a glass of wine and to enjoy the spectacular view and watch the birds as the tides flow in and out. After many years of vacationing in MDI, it has become very very crowded, and Sorrento was the perfect antidote! Spending more time discovering the beauty of Schoodic and other surrounding hikes was great. One week was hardly enough time but we enjoyed every minute, even the rainy Monday was a great chance to make good use of the well stocked bookshelf! Really, you could not ask for a nicer more comfortable stay!

Summary: We stayed in this lovely cottage five years ago. Having enjoyed our visit so much we vowed to return. This year’s return was every bit as enjoyable…… the pleasant deck received much use, as did the well-stocked bookshelves and the games. The general walkability and quietness of the neighborhood only added to our pleasure. A return visit in a year or two is already being planned.

Summary: The cottage itself had a great array of books, puzzles and games, and many of the pieces hanging were made by the owner, family and friends. Sorrento is off the mainstream of tourism which is nice. Wonderful for walking with views of Acadia NP along with friendly people. A great stay!

Summary: Sorrento itself is a unique Maine village that feels that the real Maine experience - many amenities including pool, trails, tennis courts, and more. The village is walkable from the house. The house is quite nice and comfy. I like that it is open and airy but there are a few details that renters should be aware of before renting this property. 1) The pictures can be misinterpreted to look like the lawn is right on the water. The house is in the trees on a bluff that is 10-15ft off the water. There is no way to launch kayaks or paddleboards directly from the property (which I missed from description). You can launch at the public launch in town (but must drive). There is a beach access just down the street but it is privately owned and I was told by homeowner that I was not allowed to launch my kayak there. They seem to be okay with people walking along the water there thankfully. 2) The house is in the forest / trees - so views are through trees and it was pretty buggy in early June and made use of the nice deck tough. I should note it had been rainy but we had stayed previous week on water in Corea and didn't struggle with mosquitos as much. On the other hand, the walks from the house on the road are beautiful and there are a ton of trails you can use. 3) The downside of the open wood construction and lack of insulation is that sound carries through the house very easily. If you have teenagers who stay up late, you'll hear them talk in the bedrooms and sound of people going in and out of bathroom communicates through the house. If you have light sleepers, it's something to be aware. These items noted, we really enjoyed the house and our stay. An unadvertised bonus was that there is a REALLY nice big work desk on second floor with views to water for those who have to work remote and fast internet. The décor reflected the artists ownership with some works by family members. The combo of wood stove and open fireplace made for cozy nights and mornings. It's a fantastic stove (recent model Jotul!) and will easily heat the whole house. We had a snafu with check-in where the check-in time had been changed to 2 hours later but, since we rented before that change, our instructions didn't reflect the later time. That's the fault of VRBO, not the owners. That said, house wasn't ready by the new check-in time and left us in awkward spot. Of course, everyone is dealing with staffing shortages so am sympathetic.

Summary: The house had almost everything we wanted. Well stocked and comfortable. The only thing I was disappointed about was the water access. There is no dock and the water access is a very short walk down the road to a public beach. Overall, a great house and we had a great time in Maine.

Summary: I’ve been coming to Oak Bluff since 2004. Each year it feels like coming home. The area is the right mix of things to do with a home base that offers everything I need to relax. I’ve looked for places with the same blend and haven’t found them. So I’ll be back next year.
