You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Oceanfront Maine Acadia Cottage

Welcome to Tidal Ledge, a secluded oceanfront cottage overlooking the waters of Frenchman Bay in Hancock, Maine.

With its contemporary Atlantic seacoast design, Tidal Ledge blends beautifully into the surrounding Maine landscape. Floor-to-ceiling glass across the main living area provides spectacular 180-degree views of the water and brings the beauty of the coast into nearly every moment of your stay.

Your Own Piece of the Maine Coast

Mornings at Tidal Ledge are best started with a cup of coffee and a walk down to the shoreline. Spend the afternoon exploring Acadia and the Downeast coast, then return home to relax by the water as the tide rolls in.

As evening falls, gather around the oceanside fire pit and look up — on a clear night, the dark Maine sky offers incredible views of the stars and Milky Way.

Tidal Ledge borders a nature preserve, making wildlife part of the experience. Bald eagles, harbor seals and a wonderful variety of coastal birds are frequent visitors, often visible right from the lawn.

And if you're here in July or August, keep an eye out for the wild Maine blueberries growing on the property — perfect for your morning pancakes.

Comfortable, Thoughtful & Easy

Tidal Ledge is designed for guests who appreciate the character of a Maine cottage without giving up the comforts of home.

The single-level layout includes two spacious bedrooms — one with a king bed and the second with a queen — along with one full bathroom.

The home is thoughtfully appointed with a fully equipped kitchen, luxurious Turkish bath towels, high-thread-count linens, washer and dryer, strong Wi-Fi and a 75-inch television with Roku streaming.

On those wonderfully cool Maine evenings, settle in by the gas-log fireplace and enjoy the view.

Close to Acadia — Away From the Crowds

Tidal Ledge offers the best of both worlds: easy access to Acadia National Park, Mount Desert Island, Bar Harbor, Ellsworth and the Schoodic Peninsula, while providing a peaceful waterfront setting away from the busiest tourist areas.

Spend your days hiking Acadia, exploring coastal villages, visiting local lobster pounds or discovering the quieter corners of Downeast Maine.

Then come home to Tidal Ledge, where the water, wildlife and changing tides provide the entertainment.

A Few Important Details

Tidal Ledge is best suited for adults and families with children age 16 and older due to the home's proximity to the ocean and elevated decks.

To maintain the condition of our home and for the comfort of all guests, pets are not permitted under any circumstances.

Tidal Ledge isn't a resort — and that's exactly the point.

It's a place for morning coffee by the water, lobster dinners, blueberry pancakes, days spent exploring Acadia and long summer evenings around the fire.

Come experience the beauty of the Maine coast and make Tidal Ledge your home by the sea for a little while.

This cottage is absolutely delightful! The views are simply stunning, both from the deck and from inside. The outdoor seating areas are wonderful for reading, conversation and simply chilling! The beds were very comfortable with comfy linens. The host left us a lovely welcome bag and she was very thoughtful in her communication. We found some great restaurants, most especially Union River Lobster. We highly recommend this VRBO.

Private and Peaceful Getaway

This property was by far one of the cleanest well stocked places we have ever stayed through VRBO! It was EXACTLY as pictured and described in all the photos. The setting is so beautiful and peaceful, and we really appreciated being away from the crowds in Bar Harbor and Acadia at the end of each day after hiking and sightseeing at both these places.

We stayed for 3 nights while visiting Bar Harbor/Acadia. The house was perfect for our family of 4 and the view was absolutely beautiful! We just wish we had reserved it for additional days just so we could relax and enjoy the view more. We saw beautiful sunsets, seals, birds, deer, and even had an eagle land on the "beach" rocks our last morning. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home - we will definitely be back!
