About this property

Sunset House: Rustic Maine Cottage Perched High Above Fishing Village with Harbor Views

Sunset House rises to a nice height to watch people walking and Port Clyde Harbor humming.   From its southwestward facing dinner deck, the home chef can enjoy cooking up a storm of local foods and fish from a kitchen that features old time cottage ambiance and a large table for guests to join in the camaraderie of summer friendships.
The queen bedroom and twin bedded room across the hall.  A modest shaded lawn to enjoy fresh ocean breezes.  Full sun all day on the ocean facing deck. A Franklin wood stove in the living room for cool evening gatherings.  Informal and fun, Sunset House will be in your memory months later.  Many return year after year here.   TV, wi-fi, landline telephone.  Bring your bikes, you will love riding or walking the winding road along the shore where this summer place offers the peace, tranquility, and beauty your soul longs for in refreshment.
As part of our rental application, we do ask for two references from previous rental companies/agents/homeowners etc.

Sunset Cottage

We enjoyed our stay. View of water was great. Unfortunately the week we stayed it was very foggy. House was very clean and well kept. Neat items (baskets, pots, pictures, books) through out the house. We liked the 2 living room areas. Great place to stay.

Getaway accomplished!

Sunset House was well equipped with all needs and many extras. The weather was chilly but our group enjoyed sunshine on the deck and a cozy fire in the wood stove. We wanted peace and quiet, and at this time of year, Port Clyde was the place for it.

Lovely spacious retreat

This property is an ideal, spacious seaside cottage with views from almost every room. The kitchen was beautifully equipped and the whole house has a cozy vibe to it. We enjoyed board games, reading and most of all, hanging out on the upper deck - spectacular sunsets! The location is excellent; just a short walk down to the docks and village center. We found our stay here comfortable and relaxing - just great in every way! We would like to come back next year!

Week in Cold Maine

The place was beautiful, but not as close to the water as the pictures show. Very clean and nicely decorated. Very little flatware, only 4 towels for 4 people for a week, and very few electrical outlets.

Annual Maine trip

We’ve stayed in Port Clyde for several years now for our week vacation and this was the first time in this property. It has a lovely living space. The kitchen is amazing and well equipped. The deck has wonderful view. The master bedroom was spacious and very comfortable. The second bedroom is good for 2 children, but not enough space for two adults in our opinion. Despite that, we would return to this property.

Loved the layout of the house with the living space on the 2nd floor. The deck is fantastic, so is the fire pit area. Did a lot of walking - to the village, to Marshall Point and Drift Inn Beach. For hiking, I drove to Clark Island Preserve (gorgeous!!!), Beech Hill Preserve and Riverview Hayfields Preserve. Overall, my stay was outstanding!

Beautiful home with a good view of the harbor. Well appointed and very clean. Walls framed but not closed or insulated so it got a little chilly; there’s a wood burning stove on one level. Not much happening in the harbor. Lovely outdoor deck. Comfy for 4 people. Communication with host was excellent. Would recommend!

Beautiful location

We loved staying in Sunset House. The upstairs living space with a well appointed kitchen and spacious porch was so enjoyable. There are a few steps to enter the house and stairs to get from the first floor bedroom space to the second floor living space. It was a wonderful week there that we hope we will be able to return to next year.

Wonderful stay in Port Clyde

The Sunset House lived up to its name. Beautiful views of the harbor and islands and well maintained. We have stayed at numerous properties through VRBO and this was probably the best equipped of any. Kitchen was very well stocked with quality products and any implement needed. Location was perfect and convenient to local attractions and provisions. Thorough and prompt communication with Veronika the manager. We'll be back!

Perfect family trip!

The Sunset house was the perfect place to spend our summer vacation. The views are stunning, the house was stocked as well as any rental I’ve seen, especially the kitchen. We appreciated all the little touches and the perfect balance of rustic and modern. Would highly recommend. Port Clyde is very quaint. The ice cream parlor was a nightly stop and the General Store has everything we needed.
