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.

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.

Peaceful paradise
Quiet neighborhood with spectacular views of the bay. The house was larger then expected. We had 2 vehicles, so parking was a challenge, but manageable.

Charming but needs work
Property is very large and big enough to accommodate a larger family. All amenities are there. All beds did not have clean linens on check in, and house needed to be aired out on arrival (odd smell). Never fully got rid of smell and couldnt figure out the source. Beds are comfortable, and there is everything there you need to enjoy a family vacation and cook meals. There was ample hot water. The location is good for the park. You are away from the crowded tourist area but it comes at the cost of convenient restaurants. If you are planning on cooking most meals this is the right place. Overall, the house grew on me and has charm. Sitting on the deck watching the boats at the end of a long day of hiking was perfect.

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.

Sorrento by the sea!
Well-appointed home with incredible views. We enjoyed walking this beautiful neighborhood each day and found the home to have everything we needed. When we had questions we received immediate answers! We will miss having coffee on the deck overlooking the water.

Great family vacation
We came to Maine on a road trip and spent our time here while visiting Acadia. It was in a great location and a great home. Very clean and hope to come back to spend some time in the area.

Quiet neighborhood, wonderful view
Overall nice place. Quaint, quiet, wonderful view of the bay, clean. Room in basement has musty smell but they have dehumidifiers down there that somewhat helps. Water pressure could be improved as couldn’t take shower with dish washer or clothes washer going at same time or other shower. Just a heads up also, kitchen counters are very low. Not sure if it’s handicapped level but I’m not tall & my back was bothering me when doing dishes/cooking and reaching at lower level. Thanks for having us and we enjoyed visiting the surrounding area!
