    It felt like being in another world. Far away yet convenient to everything in and around Lubec. Even the fog was charming!

    Sunrise Cottage was all we wanted it to be. We had wonderful views of the birds (gulls, crows, cranes/herons and even eagles) who were so relaxing to watch as the tides came in and out. The beach was nearby and we visited daily to search for fun rocks, shells and sea glass. The amenities were very comfortable and quite honestly we felt like we were at home. Even our little dog felt at home almost immediately and was reluctant to leave when our time was up. Debra was extremely easy to communicate with when any questions came up which were few as we had everything we needed. We absolutely would recommend this VRBO to anyone coming to the Lubec area and will hopefully come to stay again very soon!

    This is a great home if you are looking for a quiet location to enjoy beautiful sunrises, a spectacular view from the Narrows to Liberty Point to Grand Manan, and starry skies at night. There is great outdoor space including a covered deck off the second floor so that you can enjoy the views, ducks, eagles, and other wildlife even on days that are less than ideal.The house was very clean. The rooms were all a nice size. The kitchen was well appointed and we had everything we needed to cook.Parking is spacious and easy to get in-and-out of so that you can get to the center of town or the lighthouse in a matter of a few minutes.

    My boyfriend and I spent two nights here at the end of October 2024. We chose it for its proximity to the West Quoddy Head lighthouse. This was an amazing stay - the property was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. There was even a thoughtful basket with several snacks and coffee packets. The host, Debra, was incredibly kind and welcoming. She provided restaurant recommendations for places that we would not have been able to find ourselves online (several restaurants in the area had already closed for the season). There was also a thoughtful binder in the living room that included a ton of information about the area, including restaurants and tourist attractions. There were several attractions/tours that had already closed for the season, but learning about them made me want to come back to see them. I used the information from the binder to help me plan which hikes I wanted to do around the Quoddy Head lighthouse. I really enjoyed making coffee from the packets that were included in the welcome basket and spending my mornings in the kitchenette window looking out at the ocean and drinking coffee. Luckily we had a day of great weather and I spent pretty much the entire day hiking around Quoddy Head. And we were also lucky because we had some clear skies at night, which allowed us to see a ton of stars (we live in a suburb of a large city so we never get the chance to see so many stars). I highly recommend this property.

    This was the trip our family needed. The Sunrise cottage was perfect for us. Off the main road, very few neighbors, a lovely view and very close to many adventures. The cottage was very clean, had everything we needed and was so comfortable. We so enjoyed opening the windows and feeling the cool night air come off the water. Thank you for inviting dogs.
