We had a fantastic stay here! The house is so beautiful, spacious and clean. Ellen is a wonderful host. This home is off the beaten path but close enough to Acadia and Bar Harbor to spend time. Additionally, the nearby town of Ellsworth has some great dining and shopping sites. This place is a must stay if you’re looking to be close to the water, away from traffic and close to major sightseeing areas.

This property is just amazingly cozy, homey, quiet and very comfortable. Our host, Ellen was super sweet and welcoming. Sitting down by the water and reading was most relaxing. This listing is truly representative of what you will experience with this rental.

WOW! There is a reason this property consistently receives a 10/10 rating. This home is beautiful and exceptionally clean. Very cozy living area with all the amenities you need. Beds are super comfortable, lots of closet space, bathrooms are sparkling, and water pressure in shower is excellent. The view is outstanding and we enjoyed going to the beach and collecting shells and then sitting outside by a fire and relaxing. When we went to see the sunrise in Acadia, we saw stars like never before, with some planets and the milky way visible to the naked eye, and with telescope saw the rings of Saturn. As nice as the house and view is, is equally how nice our hosts Ellen and Ryan were. So friendly, helpful, and considerate, they gave us ideas of things to see and told us a little about the history of the area. Would recommend this property to others. If you go, read the Guest Book for helpful hints of what others have done and enjoyed while in this area.

We had a wonderful stay at Sunset Ledge! Ellen was incredibly responsive, gave us lots of ideas for things to see and do, and genuinely seemed happy to have us. Easily the best host experience I’ve had.The pictures don’t do this property justice—it’s even nicer than it looks, and exceptionally clean. We loved the open layout of the kitchen, dining and living areas. The kitchen is well equipped with cookware, dishes, utensils and everything we needed to prepare meals. The bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and comfortable. The primary bedroom has its own bathroom, a huge walk-in closet, and a beautiful view of the beach.The property is tucked into the woods, which gave us wonderful privacy and peaceful quiet. Coming from an urban environment, I loved this—and the stars at night were incredible! Seeing that many stars was such a treat!The private beach is a short downhill walk from the house, but we enjoyed the walk and had no trouble with it. The beach is gorgeous and so peaceful. We loved the rocking chairs overlooking the water, and I especially enjoyed hunting for shells.There are so many thoughtful touches inside. The bookshelves have a great variety of fiction and nonfiction, with something for every reader. I found a Maine ghost story book and enjoyed reading it in the recliner each evening. There are also Maine cookbooks and coloring books.This property gave us exactly what we hoped for: a beautiful, comfortable and peaceful place to enjoy Maine.

House was just as pictured and perfect for our family Maine trip. Located close enough to Acadia to easily enjoy it, but away from all the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor. Our favorite part was relaxing by the water searching for treasures! We hope to be back!

Perfect Maine Vacation!

This property was even better than described! Clean, well appointed, and in the perfect location for sightseeing or lounging by the ocean looking for sea glass. Owners were quick to respond when we had questions. We wanted for nothing during our stay here- we’ll definitely be back!

This was a great place to stay, and functioned perfectly for us and our two young kids. The kitchen was very well-stocked, the beds were comfortable, both bedrooms had A/C, and it was so CLEAN! (This is always the thing I hope and look for in Vrbo rentals.) The hosts were very responsive and a joy to work with. We would definitely stay here again, and recommend that you do, too!

Everything was just perfect!

We enjoyed morning trips to Schoodic Peninsula, Arcadia and Bar Harbor but loved coming back to our private beach to search for sea glass/rocks and watch the wildlife and sunsets!

So delightful- the house is welcoming and has it all. Loved the quiet beach location and just sitting outside having coffee in the morning looking at the water. It’s a bit of a ride to Bar Harbor and Acadia but well worth it. Ellen and Ryan are just wonderful hosts- can’t say enough about how they care for their guests. If I visit Maine again, that’s where I’ll be!!

Amazing property

We loved our stay. The property was very clean, comfortable & had all the conveniences of home. Our host left no stone unturned. The sunset view was amazing & we loved the outdoor fire pit. If we travel back to Acadia, this would be first on our list of places to stay.

This is a wonderful property just a few steps from the beach. Ellen, the owner is wonderful and always available to answer any questions. We found the place in perfect condition and with everything that a family might need in a house. Highly recommend this place.

Our stay at Sunset Ledge was exactly what we had anticipated and more! The location was perfect for our family, allowing us to get to Acadia with ease while also allowing for activities closer by, too. The property is even cleaner and better looking than the photos listed and I even felt comfortable with our infant crawling around. Having the beach front just down the path was wonderful for afternoon/evening dips and seashell hunting. The host provides water jugs and propane tank to help with the stay and was easily accessible for questions. We would certainly recommend a stay at Sunset Ledge and plan to return.

Acadia get away

I’ve stayed at properties all over the country and have never seen one so clean and the kitchen so well furbished. Great place to spend the week exploring Acadia National Park and Mount Desert Island. About 40 minutes from Bar Harbor but not too far away. Great location and very peaceful. Great communication with the owner as well.
