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.

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!

Sunset House was everything we could have asked for and more - perfect walk to town location, outstanding views, spacious yet cozy house with room to spread out and room to gather, glorious deck and spacious back yard with fire pit and corn hole! Kitchen was charming and well supplied. We loved every minute and will definitely be back!

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.

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.

Cozy and great location

Within walking distance to Port Clyde general store, Monhegan ferry boat, and restaurants. Beautiful views from the deck. Plenty of comfortable seating, lots of room for entertaining although the cottage only sleeps 4. We’ve never stayed at a place which such a well equipped kitchen full of anything you might want for cooking in.

Lives up to it's name "Sunset House"

Sunset House was a cute cottage with Maine characteristics. We especially enjoyed sitting on the deck watching the sunset over Port. Clyde.
