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.

Serene and Away from the noise!

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

Loved 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.

Amazing Spot

Quiet and relaxing with a wonderful view into the harbor. The house is beautiful, cozy, and rustic with incredible views of numerous small boats and fishing vessels in Sorrento Harbor as you sip your morning coffee from the roof deck, it’s very quaint and lovely. It’s everything you’d imagine from a stay on the Maine coastline.
