About this property

Waterfront on Harpswell Sound-3 bedrm-private setting with float. Sunset views

  • “The Orr’s Island Cottage” is much more than a cottage. It is an enchanted and charming home boasting expansive views of Harpswell Sound. This is a well maintained, year-round home located on the shore of Harpswell Sound. Orr's Island, Maine is a peninsula connected by bridges to Harpswell and Brunswick- just 15 minutes from Brunswick, home of Bowdoin College and a great downtown area. The interior and exterior blend one into the other through sliding glass doors across the width of the home-opening onto multi-decking and stairs to the private waterfront, complete with floating walkways and dock- ideal for fishing, boating, kayaking and sunbathing. This open concept floor plan provides a natural flow from the fully equipped kitchen, dining area, and living room. The large fireplace, hardwood floors, wood ceilings, create a warm, charming, romantic, perfect vacation retreat. This cottage feels vintage with all the modern amenities, i.e. smart tvs, high speed wi-fi access and air conditioning. We also have books and DVDs for those that want to relax. Don't miss the breathtaking sunsets from the comfort of the house or the outside decks! Professionally designed and accessorized for your comfort. High quality linens are provided by owner.

This is a lovely home with beautiful views of the water. The yard is large with pretty plantings and trees creating a private setting. We stayed here with family to celebrate a happy occasion and couldn’t have been more pleased with the inviting and beautiful decor and clean and comfortable surroundings. The kitchen was supplied with everything we needed, and we enjoyed eating at the large dining table while enjoying a view of the water. The host was a pleasure to communicate with and was organized and thorough in giving information about our stay. I would definitely stay here again.

Perfect location

This home has a beautiful view, and only minutes away from great hiking trails. Very cozy and has everything that you might need. Great kitchen fully stocked with pans, spices, new refrigerator and a washer and dryer. The owner manager was hands on and easy to talk to. I highly recommend this VRBO.

Highly recommend this property

Rental property was very clean and well stocked with just about everything you could think of -- all we needed was food. We particularly enjoyed the cabinet full of board games. Great access to the waterfront, and loved the three sliding/screen doors that opened onto to deck overlooking the water. I would stay there again, and absolutely recommend it to anyone.

Cosy house in a lovely setting

Enjoyed our stay. House cosy and warm. Situation is lovely with nice water views and easy swimming (even in October!). The area is great but be aware most things on the islands close by mid October. Well presented and stocked as a family home rather than casual rental. Might add some decent wine glasses! We would certainly consider a return visit from England.

Beautiful waterfront stay in summer

We loved our stay and it was a perfect base for exploring the area during the day, and returning for peaceful happy hour/reading times with beautiful sunsets from the back deck overlooking the bay. We were a three-generation family and having the main bedroom with en suite bath on the same floor as the living area was a great plus for anyone concerned about ease of mobility. The kitchen was extremely well stocked, and all beds really comfortable. Beautiful location and easy driving distance to hikes or walks on the island or in Harpswell, and we loved heading to Boothbay for the day. One thing to note is there is no restaurant or anything really on the island, but within 10 min there are a few restaurants, ice cream shop.

Large complete kitchen with dishwasher great for large number of guests. Splits helpful but could use instructions for use. Rear deck with water view; furniture solid and heavy; but too large for us. Rear wooden stairs down to float too steep for us so not used, and not safe for children unless with an adult. Stairs to loft area bedroom and bathroom also too steep for us. Host very helpful. Beautiful sunsets!

The house was very well appointed, with extremely comfortable and spacious rooms. Communication with the host was very easy and check-in/checkout-out was a breeze. The most impressive part however is the incredible views and privacy of the house. The back of the house faces the water and has some of the most beautiful sunsets you’ll ever see! I highly recommend visiting for anyone looking to get away from it all and soak up the atmosphere of a wonderful seaside cottage.

I, my mom, and 4 sisters stayed for a week in June 2026. This lovely home felt spacious and cozy at the same time. We fell in love with the water and sunset view. We would have relished the chance to stay much longer than a week but alas only 2 of our group are retired.

Beautiful location and stay!

The house was excellent and offered everything you needed…a true home away from home experience. Kids loved playing outside and using the dock and had plenty of space. House was filled with all the essentials and then some. Great space to cook and share meals. Sunsets on the back deck were priceless. We had an excellent stay and would definitely return or recommend to others!!

Comfortable Maine stay - perfect for all weather!

Our stay was perfect. House was great and comfy for all types of weather. Kitchen is stocked and great for preparing family meals. We enjoyed gathering together at the table and fit perfect in the living room. Spent lots of time on the deck and down at the dock. Kids enjoyed playing outside and running around with lots of space and privacy. We loved our stay once again!

Wonderful Graduation Stay

Our family spent a long weekend at Lynn’s home over our daughter’s college graduation weekend. The home was a delight in every way. Close to the center of Brunswick but near the Giant’s Steps and other outdoor activities. Well appointed, comfortable and spotlessly clean. The home more than lives up to its online profile. We would stay again in a minute.

Gorgeous View, Gorgeous Weather

Location was perfect for us. Direct view of the cove with a floating dock. We set up chairs to read on the dock every day and enjoy the beautiful views. The house had everything we needed, including air conditioning! Only needed to use the units a couple of times, but appreciated that we had them. Close to Brunswick and Freeport for dining and shopping. Short drive to Cedar Beach and the Giant Stairs walking trail on Bailey a island.

Superb sunset views

The house is 30-40 feet above the beach so the views are fantastic of the changing tides and sunsets. A family of bald eagles was seen daily, and Canada Geese fly in each evening to roost in the bay. The back deck runs the entire length of the house, allowing for outdoor meals, reading, birdwatching, and just enjoying the views. Multiple hiking trails are within a short drive from the house as well, allowing for a daily walk in the woods and/or along the shoreline. I wish now we'd stayed 2 weeks instead of 1...

Quiet and relaxing setting

Our family (2 adults and 2 teens) loved our stay on Orr's Island! This property was very well equipped, perfectly appointed and very comfortable. We especially enjoyed the tranquil setting on the deck overlooking the cove. The kitchen was very well equipped and newly updated, making it very enjoyable to cook in. It had everything one could possibly need to prepare and serve meals! Families with teens should know that the nearest large beach with bigger waves is about a 45 minute drive (Popham Beach-absolutely beautiful and worth the pleasant ride). Renters should know that since this is an island property, residents use well water for their homes. During our stay, there was an odor associated with the running water. The property owner was very responsive and sent someone over right away to look at the filtration system. We appreciated the owner's prompt attentiveness. All in all, we absolutely loved this property and would return in the future!
