Location! Location! Location and More! As my eight-year-old grandson wrote in the guestbook, "The house is huge. It is right next to the beach very convenient." We are a family of 14. Everyone had a comfortable bed and there were two beds left over. A few of the rooms had en suites and other bathrooms were shared by two rooms. The kitchen was well stocked and there were grills outside for cooking. We rarely cooked because there are dozens of restaurants within walking distance. We were only a block away from downtown. Two blocks to a grocery store. There were lobster rolls and ice cream available on every block. Besides the fresh seafood restaurants there are also Italian, Indian, an Irish Pub, etc. Many places for breakfast or brunch. The lane down to the low tide walk to Bar Island is right next to the house. We also used the beach for exploring tide pools and swimming. The house also had lots of games, books, puzzles and more inside, and a beautiful terrace and large yard with lawn games, a hammock and an eating area.Then there is Acadia National Park. We all hiked and hiked! Some rented bikes in town and biked the carriage trails. Others drove to Schoodic Point and biked the perimeter. We had dinner at Jordan Pond House. We went sea kayaking, took a boat ride and a carriage ride, drove to the top of Cadillac Mountain to watch the sunset, etc. Our stay at Sunset House was the perfect base for our adventures.
