This property was perfect for us. It was an opportunity for four adults to relax, cook together, be together, and take long walks. I love the road that went right in front of the house, and the beautiful walks we were able to take. The house was gorgeous, and the views from the living room are breathtaking.

We wanted a getaway waterfront experience without the usual tourist trappings and this house was in the perfect location. The rooftop deck was perfect for watching the boats on the water and the fog lifting in the morning. The decor is all things related to Maine culture. We enjoyed strolling the streets of Sorrento and admiring the vintage vacation homes of the area. We would like to emphasize for interested renters, that this home does require the ability to climb a full flight of exterior stairs with your luggage to enter & access the living areas of the home.

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.

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

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.
