It’s exceptional location offers the quintessential Maine experience. The main living area boasts floor to ceiling glass windows offering 180 degree views of the ocean. This home is well appointed with everything you expect to find in your own home to include a fully stocked kitchen, luxurious turkish bath towels, and comfortable high thread count sheets. For your convenience a washer and dryer are also available in the home. The layout makes this house easy to move around with only one floor to include two spacious bedrooms each with a queen size bed, and one spacious bathroom. The house has a large 50 inch flat screen television with full cable and Roku packages, and the wifi maintains a strong signal. For cool nights a beautiful gas log fireplace warms the house. Note: Due to the proximity to the ocean and high decks, Tidal Ledge is only suited for adults with children aged 16 or older. Grab your chairs or blanket to walk over to the Frenchman Bay Conservancy sponsored Summer Monday evening concerts that make for a fun evening. These fun concerts are located within walking distance from the house, or you can take in the concert from the comfort of the large back deck. Tidal Ledge sits next to a nature preserve that highlights some of the most exceptional viewings of Maine wildlife. It is not unusual to frequently see bald eagles, harbor seals and a wide cross section of bird species flying about, all seen from the privacy of the back lawn. At night, sit by the Oceanside fire pit taking in views of the Milky Way. Take a stroll in the morning down to the shoreline with a cup of coffee, and in July and August pick wild blueberries on property for your breakfast pancakes. If your looking for a nice dinner out, look no further than the 4 star restaurants available in the area. Chippers, Ironbound, and Crocker House Country Inn are all within a short drive away. Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park are a 20 minute drive, and for shopping essentials Ellsworth is the largest town in Hancock county and is a 15 minute drive away. Hancock Point is located a short distance away. Visit Hancock’s 130 year old library, and take a stroll around the point enjoying views across Frenchman’s Bay to Bar Harbor. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washer/dryer ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Phone ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near the bay - Near the ocean - On the waterfront ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Property does not allow children - Unit size: 984 square feet ## Similar properties ![On the beach, sun loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33140000/33137100/33137016/97fbc927.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Private Ocean Beach Front House Hancock Point - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 57 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-15&endDate=2025-11-16&selected=33137016&PinnedHotelID=33137016&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, fireplace, DVD player](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/56000000/55210000/55209700/55209626/75a146ac.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sea Spray - Modern Oceanfront Cottage with Views of Cadillac Mountain & Acadia Hancock - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 151 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-15&endDate=2025-11-16&selected=55209626&PinnedHotelID=55209626&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/70000000/69940000/69938600/69938548/a646cdf0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Waterfront, cabin, fire pit, romantic, hiking, heat/AC, Couples Cove Cottage Hancock Point - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 55 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-15&endDate=2025-11-16&selected=69938548&PinnedHotelID=69938548&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/19000000/18770000/18766900/18766876/147de84f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Waterfront Cottage with gorgeous sunset view Lamoine - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 119 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-15&endDate=2025-11-16&selected=18766876&PinnedHotelID=18766876&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/41000000/40210000/40202100/40202073/e2c7cf41.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### BEAUTIFUL OCEANFRONT COTTAGE WITH AMAZING WATER VIEWS & ACCESS Hancock - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 114 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-15&endDate=2025-11-16&selected=40202073&PinnedHotelID=40202073&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33570000/33560600/33560577/e03e1710.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Oceanfront cottage with gorgeous views of Cadillac Mt.,seals and ocean birds Trenton - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 180 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-15&endDate=2025-11-16&selected=33560577&PinnedHotelID=33560577&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/19000000/18930000/18921700/18921623/646d4701.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Outstanding Oceanfront Log Home near Acadia National Park Gouldsboro - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 157 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-15&endDate=2025-11-16&selected=18921623&PinnedHotelID=18921623&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33910000/33906600/33906502/17f7895e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Oceanfront property with spectacular views of Acadia Park and cruise ships.

This is the best VRBO I have ever stayed. The location is amazing, secluded in the forest just far enough away from town but not too far to drive and see the sights. The views are amazing and it is easy to spend hours looking outside at nature.The cottage is well appointed with everything you need to be comfortable.

It’s about 45 minutes from Bar Harbor, but we would definitely choose this over some fancy new condo in the middle of town. The kitchen is well stocked, and the home is very quaint, which was exactly what we were looking for.

My husband and I just stayed for our second time, and we hope to go back again next summer. The cozy cabin is tucked away in a great location right on the water where you can hear the tidal falls. This year we enjoyed smores on the firepit outside and spent a whole day puzzling while enjoying the serene view. We were only an hour or so away from Acadia, which made it nice and easy to get up and hike. We had a lovely time! ##### Tara B.

A wonderful experience - the cottage itself was a large part of our vacation - warm,clean, and comfortable with anything we needed. We spent the days hiking in Acadia National Park - were fortunate to hit the foliage at it's peak (Schoodic Pennisula, Cadillac Mtn. & Jordan's Pond- all within a short drive). We returned home to the cottage in time to sit on the deck to view the Tidel Falls - something we have never seen anything like before. The country there is truly magnificent !!!! Made use of the grill a few nights & also enjoyed a dinner out at an Inn nearby with local seafood at Tracy's recommendation. Tracy was very gracious hostess.. prompt and helpful responses to questions we had both before & during our stay. Thank you Tracy for sharing your lovely home -- it is a time we will not forget!!

As advertised, the view was gorgeous and we enjoyed seeing the changes in the sky and water at all times of day. The property is a little off the beaten track, but the drive to major attractions like Acadia and Bar Harbor was manageable, and the tranquility after a busy day was appreciated.

The view! Wow! So happy we chose this amazing cottage for our 25th anniversary trip to Maine. Excellent communication with the host before & during.. answering questions and giving us a lot of info and suggestions on what to do and where to go locally for food and excursions. The cottage is private & peaceful with an amazing view of the Tidal Falls. The wildlife is incredible! We saw harbor seals, bald eagles, great blue herons, osprey, cormorants & loons daily! There was even a whale (most likely a minke whale) that came in with the tide a few days too! So cool! We found starfish & sea snails at low tide. Gorgeous sunsets! The cottage is incredibly clean, comfortable & well stocked with everything you need. We bought fresh lobsters and got great deals from a local co-op twice on the Schoodic Peninsula along with fresh oysters from another local guy and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our delicious dinners. Maine lobsters & oysters are something special! We drove all around the Schoodic peninsula to the small towns (Winter harbor, south harbor & Corea) and also visited the Schoodic Peninsula of Acadia NP. Saw a porcupine driving in, climbed the rocks & experienced the beautiful scenery! The cottage is a 40-50 min drive to Bar Harbour and Acadia NP. We loved the Park Loop drive and hiked a bunch of scenic trails there 3 different days too! A nature lovers dream vacation! Beautiful mountains, fresh sea air, delicious foods! 10/10 would love to return & stay here again ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a30022e7-5771-4372-9215-0fb8b0494547-1751226589169.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0d58c084-06fc-4d8d-8d80-a7531eea278b-1751226587722.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2e5bd072-7769-4835-bfef-ffd554e59702-1751226586680.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1aad7914-8ec3-46e7-ba80-a98061deeec2-1751226589214.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Melissa L.

This place was absolutely immaculate—spotless from top to bottom. We were immediately struck by how peaceful and inviting it felt. The setting was quiet and relaxing, perfect for a restful getaway. One of the biggest surprises was how well-stocked everything was. From tissue and paper towels to a variety of spices in the kitchen, it felt like the hosts had thought of everything. We didn’t have to run out the first night to shop. The wildlife was an added surprise.Highly recommend and would absolutely stay again! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8f1783dd-3ba2-4362-9849-28d5b7938b87-1751050664933.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### shelly s.

Our 6-day stay at Tidal Lodge cottage was a trip to remember. The atmosphere was outstanding with an impeccably clean home and unparalleled views. We saw bald eagles and seals, cormorants, and so many other cool creatures every morning and evening. Tracey was the best host with regular communication in advance and during our stay. We’ll be back, for certain. 10/10! ##### Lillian H. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cathleen M.

It is immaculate, private, well appointed with floor to ceiling windows looking over the tidal basin. The tidal water changes are a show in themselves and the wildlife adds to its splendor. The gas fireplace warmed the rooms when the air cooled in the evening. Full kitchen to eat-in and use. A perfect size home for a couple or two. Bar Harbor and Acadia NP are a short drive, and Hancock has many hiking options. But the best part was sitting by the water's edge in the Adirondack chairs and watching the tide roll in, pause for a bit and roll out. Can't beat it. Tracey was fantastic - start to finish. I wish we could have stayed longer. We'll be back! Thanks Tracey! :) ##### Cathleen M. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deborah H.

Having breakfast one morning and six deer leisurely walked beside the window and down to the water. It was one of the cleanest properties we have ever stayed at. Highly recommend! ##### Deborah H.

It is a peaceful stay for us in a beautiful location with an ever-changing view of the tidal river. The quality and attention to detail makes this cottage so comfortable. Location is perfect to visit both Acadia, Schoodic and of DownEast Maine, which we love to visit. ##### Joe N. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew & Hailey D.

The house is perfect and the views can’t be topped. We loved sitting out back and watching the tides and wildlife (lots of seals) and both said spending time at the house was a highlight of our vacation! ##### Ryan C.

The scenery out back is so beautiful, getting to watch the tide go in out is amazing. The place is awesome, just as advertised. I have stayed in a many VRBO's this place has the softest towels ever. The host Tracey was so accommodating to our needs. If you get a chance to go to Maine, make this place one of your stays. We would definitely stay here again. ##### Richard T.
