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 ona 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.

    This lovely cottage provided us with one of the best vacations we have ever had. As soon as we stepped in the door we knew it was special. The rooms were spotless, the view of the bay from the large, ceiling- to-- floor windows was breath-taking. We enjoyed sitting on the deck having morning coffee and having a vist from the humming bird. We had three bald eagle sightings during our week stay. Also Loons, Cormorants and a seal came to play every day The cottage is stocked with everything you could possibly need...towels ,bed linens, washer/dryer, fully stocked kitchen, numerous chairs outside. We took some day trips and visited local sights, but mostly enjoyed the peacefullness of the cottage on the bay. so, grateful for the opportunity to stay at this amazing cottage.

    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.

    This House was amazing. If you want a place that has nature, views, a place to enjoy friends or just to relax this is the place. Everything is perfect. It was clean, had everything in the kitchen. The best party was the Book the owners have put together with everything to see, eat, history etc. Thank you so much. And the best party they are Buffalo Bills Fans!!!!

    We just got home from an amazing week in Maine. And this house and location made it special. Exactly as advertised and the view beats the description. Great location for heading north to Campobello or south to Acadia. Or just sit on the Adirondack chairs and read and take in the amazing setting. We hope to be back again next year.

    If you want to slow down and relax this is the place for you. The host, Bob was surprisingly generous. The location is sheltered from direct winds and waves from the ocean which moderates the temperature. We watched eagles and went to Chipman's Wharf regularly. There's not a lot to do in Steuben in September. That's just what we wanted. The house smelled a little musty when we arrived. Opening the windows alleviated that. When we closed up at night I burned a candle in one of the bedrooms. Also a couple squirts of Febreeze air freshener solved the problem. If you want to walk along the ocean you will have to go to a park. The beach is gorgeous but walking on it won't work. The queen beds were very comfortable. One is softer and one is firmer. The cupboards are well stocked. We would definitely return to this property. The description was accurate. We loved our time in Steuben.

    6 of us spent 7 days at Sunset Point. It was the perfect accommodation for four adults and two teens. We felt so at home here. The house was equipped with everything we needed and more. The kids enjoyed putting together one of the many puzzles. We all enjoyed the beautiful view of the bay, sitting on and exploring on the rocks and watching the changing tides. We even watched a seal fish in the bay, enjoyed watching a bald eagle and two hummingbirds. This property is perfectly located between Bar Harbor/ Acadia and other points of interest to the east. One of our favorites experiences at the house was having a campfire on the rocks.

    Wow! It was amazing! Everything we could ask for. The best part was bonfires on the beach and proximity to Schoodic Penninsula!
