Review of my stay at Sunrise Bay Cottage
I was here from June 28th through July 30th, and, with one notable exception [the locks], I quite enjoyed my experience and highly recommend it. If the single exception can be remedied, I will definitely consider returning next year.

Clean and Comfortable
Cottage was perfect for our weeklong trip. Everything was clean and worked. They prepped the exterior of the cottage for the approaching hurricane. No issues during the storm event. Held up well. Very responsive host.

Lovely and Disappointing..book anyway
This is a sweet cabin, beautifully decorated and tucked in the woods away from the busy touristy area. The owners have tried to think of everything. The online description said there was a pull-out sofa sofa / futon. Instead, there was a terribly uncomfortable cot. When we arrived, the flowers outside were dead, surfaces were covered with dust and the bed was unmade. Not only that, but there were Queen sheets and they had replaced the queen with a king bed so we couldn't even make up the bed. We called Vacasa and when we returned that evening, the beds were made. I discovered later that the trash had not been emptied. VACASA apparently runs the rental out of Oregon but advertises with VRBO. They did refund us the cleaning fee. They had offered us an early check-in so we arrived several hours early but that doesn't make up for the glitches. The house is wonderful and hopefully they are doing something about the cleaning service. I hate to write this kind of review but depend on reviews when I am booking with VRBO. I have never had an experience like this before.

Peaceful. Private. Perfect
I can not say enough positive things about this perfect little cottage. Set high atop the tree line, our view was fantastic. Beautifully and tastefully decorated, we had everything we needed. Kitchen is fully stocked and everything is spotless. The linens in the bedroom were crisp and comfortable and plenty of towels available in the bathroom. The mattress is VERY firm so if you like a softer one—bring a topper! Owner was very responsive to any questions I had and extremely pleasant. The driveway IS challenging, but you are given fair warning that you may need a 4 wheel drive if it’s wet. Centrally located, every place we wanted to visit was a short car ride away. Take my advice and hit up Flatbread Company right down the road for some amazing flatbread pizza. We had an amazing stay at Sunrise Bay and it will definitely be at the top of our return list for places to stay. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Class house
We loved the house, location was great for people wanting to be near Camden, Rockport and Rockland. Lobster $5.85 a lb Rockland harbor.Gravel driveway a bit steep to get to house but once up the view of ocean, islands and forest worth it. Wild turkeys right outside window. address sign at road hard to see and needs to be made more visable

Cozy cabin with a view
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cabin — it is a perfect couples getaway. The kitchen is well equipped (we cooked most of our meals) and the porch offers a delightful place to enjoy meals with a view. Close to Rockland and Camden, nice walking trails, shops, and restaurants, we couldn’t ask for more in a home base! Our only suggestion would be that the owners invest in some lobster crackers.

Meticulous Hideaway A Great Bargain for the Fall
I wish my home was as neat and well laid out as this home.I have the same heater as they do and it keeps the house toasty,you just have to give it a few minutes to cycle on.Spotlessly clean.I am 70 and was able to get up the driveway fine.Grill was a neat addition as I entertained family.If you love a commanding view,silence of the woods,and all the conveniences you will love this house.King bed plenty of room

Sturdy camp,amazingly clean and comfy. Great views. Quiet peaceful setting. We were not able to access the backdoor lockbox...it would not open. We loved it here, even with the challenging driveway!

Amazing getaway
This adorable hilltop home made for a great getaway weekend. We spent most of our time on the covered porch that gave us the opportunity to be outside, taking advantage of the views and peacefulness even while it was raining. The home was very secluded, which being from a busy city was exactly what we were hoping for. We are already looking at our calendars to see when we can visit again.

Quaint cabin in the woods but close to town. Very good location.
Very nice location between to major routes. You can see the ocean from the home and also see turkeys in the yard.
