About this cottage rental

Oceanfront cottage situated just 60 feet from the rocky shoreline of Dyer Bay. Nestled among spruce and fir trees with water on two sides and over 185 ft. of frontage, this home provides access to all the best that DownEast Maine has to offer. Whether you are kayaking on the bay, bicycling on any number of local bike paths or hiking one of the spectacular ocean trails, this is a perfect place where you can relax and unwind.
Appropriately named "Sunset Point", this cottage is located on a private drive on Goods Point in Steuben. It was completely rebuilt in 2016 so everything is new! Relax and enjoy the wonderful views on the wraparound deck or down on the rocks by the water's edge. You can watch the lobster boats work their traps in the bay, and then anchor them for the night in front of the cottage. In the fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances you can steam your own lobster in our pot, or grill steaks on the gas grill on the deck. The living area and dining room are open with a cathedral ceiling with wall to wall picture windows which flows into the kitchen. Two doors lead you onto the deck which has a full complement of deck furniture including (2) bar height tables. Every room has a ceiling fan (including all three bedrooms), which will keep you cool while watching the 42" HDTV with blu ray DVD and satellite service. Plus the cottage has WIFI. Three bedrooms (two queen and one with twin beds), 2 bathrooms, one with tub/shower, stackable washer and dryer and all the amenities you would expect for a perfect vacation getaway.
Bring your kayaks and launch them from a private cove next to the cottage. Then paddle out to explore Dyer Bay and Fish Island. Go around the bend to see if bald eagles are perched in their nest. Sunset Point Cottage is an ideal spot to venture off and visit any number of amazing places. Explore beautiful McClellan Park in the neighboring town of Milbridge or hike the trails on Pigeon Hill or in the Petit Manan Wildlife Refuge. Just 30 minutes away is the absolute "must see' of Acadia National Park's Schoodic Point with it's spectacular granite cliffs and crashing surf. This park has walking and bike trails and is much less crowded than the larger and more well know park to the south. 1 hour south is Bar Harbor, Mount Desert Island and the wonders of Acadia National Park, which includes Cadillac Mt., Thunder Hole, Ocean Drive, the Bass Harbor Lighthouse, Jordan Pond countless hiking trails and the wondrous 40 miles of Carriage Roads (available only to foot traffic, bikers and horseback!) To the north you can drive 1 1/4 hours to hike the Bold Coast Trails at Cutler and then visit the West Quoddy Head lighthouse at Quoddy Head State Park. Don't forget to bring your passport to cross into Canada to visit the summer home of President Franklin D. Roosevelt on Campobello Island.
With the cottage's central location on the DownEast coast you have many options to choose from when planning the day's events. You may just prefer to put your feet up and read a book on the deck. Maybe spend the day painting or let the camera lens capture the beauty. Whichever you choose, this is a perfect place to disconnect whether you are here for a peaceful retreat or a family adventure.

Beautiful place

My family had an absolutely amazing stay here. Drinking coffee on the rocks overlooking the bay is something I would never get tired of. All my kids found something they loved about this place; from scrambling the rocks to looking for sea glass to watching the hummingbirds to seeing the Milky Way for the first time. And when my husband left his laptop at the house, the owner was quick to send a message before we were too far away. Fantastic slice of paradise.

I can't say enough good things about this cottage, or how homey it feels. Having grown up with family cabins in the northwoods of Wisconsin, this place immediately felt like home. Bob and his family obviously love the place, and it's in impeccable shape. It also gives the impression of being loved and shared, rather than being used as an investment property....meaning the house feels warm and welcoming and real, rather than stripped of all personal details like most vacation rentals are. In my eyes that's a huge plus. I only wish we lived closer so we could stay here every summer.We used this as our home base to explore Acadia, both the island and mainland portions. The drive to the Acadia loop is about an hour, but the Schoodic portion is very close. We enjoyed both immensely. Bob's recommendation of the Raven's Nest overlook was fantastic, and we were thrilled with the crashing waves at Schoodic Point.The house is set up marvelously, and you don't need to bring every little thing with you-- basics like cooking spray, spices, salt/pepper, shampoo/conditioner, laundry detergent, ice trays etc. were all there, and the fridge was spotless and empty (except for the hummingbird food, which our teens loved using in the hummingbird feeder). There are plenty of pots and pans and cooking utensils, though I would recommend a new nonstick pan or two. That's seriously the only thing! Everything here was absolutely ideal...a dream stay, honestly. Thank you for sharing it with us.

The property was very cute and rustic located in the woods right on the bay with your own private deck and access to the water. Upon arrival we noticed the bedrooms had cobwebs on the ceiling with spiders, even saw some go into floorboard cracks and dust covering dressers. We must have killed over 6 spiders the first night (only in the bathrooms & bedrooms). The kitchen & eating area were very clean. I took pictures & contacted the owner right away (11pm) full expecting we may not get a response until morning & he responded shortly after which I appreciated. However, the reply from the owner was not what I was hoping for, stating that this has never been an issue and would let the cleaning crew know. I guess I was hoping for more of an immediate action such as having the cleaning crew come the next day to clean & spray for peace of mind. I did not hear from the owner after that. There was a review from a few days before us with no issues so maybe we just looked closer than most. We shouldn't have to do this type of cleaning when arriving on vacation thus the cleaning fee. We were traveling since 3 am so it wasn't the best way to enter our vacation. We stay near a National Park every year in rustic settings so we aren't new to this type of setting. To sum it up, I do think this place and owner have all good intentions but I do believe the bedrooms need a deep clean and rooms be sprayed. +private property, direct access to bay, deck seating, firepit by water, board games...
