Spectacular Downeast Ocean Front Cottage ~ Pet Friendly~ Near Quoddy Head Park!

Sunrise is not just a pretty face with lots of amenities, but a classic authentic old Maine experience, a one of a kind! You will enjoy our 1900 rustic cottage by the sea, equipped with modern amenities. Sunrise has been recently renovated, while keeping it's original charm. You will find spectacular views of the Bay of Fundy, Campobello Island & Quoddy Head State Park. Sunrise is immersed in the South Lubec Sand Flats. This saltwater marsh is on the top 10 birding spots in Maine. High tide you may see flocks flying overhead to nest nearby, while low tide you may see them return to the shoreline.

Sunrise is a small space, but can comfortably fit up to 5 + guests. Two bedrooms are shared on upper level of the cottage. The bedrooms overlook the bay and ever changing tides through saltwater marsh. The king bedroom has their own personal upper level deck to enjoy that breath taking view that words or photos can not convey. On a clear sunny day you can see Grand Manon Island 8 nautical miles away as well as spectacular views of the Bay of Fundy, Campobello Island & Quoddy Head State Park.
The other bedroom has 2 full beds with it's own privacy door. The king bedroom does not have a privacy door due to the age of the cottage. The lower level has the bathroom, kitchen and dining/living room. It also includes a spacious lower level deck where meals can be enjoyed while taking in the view. The cottage is equipped with 300 speed internet for video conferencing. Please note: There is no smoking of any kind in the cottage. Thank you.

Guests will have full access to the whole fully appointed cottage, as well as the back yard. Sunrise cottage path is the right of way down to the water.

Spectacular Seaside Sunrises & Starry Skies

This is a great home if you are looking for a quiet location to enjoy beautiful sunrises, a spectacular view from the Narrows to Liberty Point to Grand Manan, and starry skies at night. There is great outdoor space including a covered deck off the second floor so that you can enjoy the views, ducks, eagles, and other wildlife even on days that are less than ideal.The house was very clean. The rooms were all a nice size. The kitchen was well appointed and we had everything we needed to cook.Parking is spacious and easy to get in-and-out of so that you can get to the center of town or the lighthouse in a matter of a few minutes.

Amazing Stay

My boyfriend and I spent two nights here at the end of October 2024. We chose it for its proximity to the West Quoddy Head lighthouse. This was an amazing stay - the property was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. There was even a thoughtful basket with several snacks and coffee packets. The host, Debra, was incredibly kind and welcoming. She provided restaurant recommendations for places that we would not have been able to find ourselves online (several restaurants in the area had already closed for the season). There was also a thoughtful binder in the living room that included a ton of information about the area, including restaurants and tourist attractions. There were several attractions/tours that had already closed for the season, but learning about them made me want to come back to see them. I used the information from the binder to help me plan which hikes I wanted to do around the Quoddy Head lighthouse. I really enjoyed making coffee from the packets that were included in the welcome basket and spending my mornings in the kitchenette window looking out at the ocean and drinking coffee. Luckily we had a day of great weather and I spent pretty much the entire day hiking around Quoddy Head. And we were also lucky because we had some clear skies at night, which allowed us to see a ton of stars (we live in a suburb of a large city so we never get the chance to see so many stars). I highly recommend this property.

Relaxing and Restorative

This was the trip our family needed. The Sunrise cottage was perfect for us. Off the main road, very few neighbors, a lovely view and very close to many adventures. The cottage was very clean, had everything we needed and was so comfortable. We so enjoyed opening the windows and feeling the cool night air come off the water. Thank you for inviting dogs.

About the host

Hosted by Debra

Host profile image
Hi Folks! I am originally from Nebraska, farm raised, and have been in New England for over 30 years. My husband and I fell in love with Lubec while vacationing here in 2010, looking for the end of America. We decided to learn more about this beautiful place, and now plan to retire here. We frequent the area and hopefully can answer questions you may have about Lubec. I love to host guests, and give them the experience that hopefully will make their stay memorable. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve you as your host!

Why they chose this property

The minute you drive down South Lubec road, and then come upon this tiny cottage, you feel the peacefulness that Sunrise offers. It sits right on the edge, or shall I say submersed, in one of the most pristine waterfowl environment in northern Maine. Sunrise sits closest to the water's edge due to 1900 construction age. It has its own walking path down to the shoreline, and if you walk to the very edge of the water, take a left at low tide there is a walking beach .3 miles away.

If you are looking for a new modern experience, this is not the cottage for you. Sunrise is all about classic, comfort and inviting, unique old Maine stay.

Sunrise has neighbors directly in back of the cottage, so we ask to be respectful to them. Please do not to drive on the lawn or park in front of their garage. Thank you.

What makes this property unique

Sunrise is located on the desirable stretch of South Lubec road, and is one of the oldest cottages in Lubec. Sunrise is all about giving comfort, while still giving you the classic old Maine stay, one the reason why people come to visit Lubec. Sunrise is the true experience of Maine, a memory that you will not forget!
