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 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.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We’re delighted you enjoyed the perfect coastal location and found the kitchen well equipped for gathering and meals — it’s a wonderful spot to cook after a day on the water! Guests especially love the direct water access just steps from the home, making it easy to kayak, swim, or simply dip your toes in Harpswell Sound. The breathtaking sunsets over the shoreline are a highlight — the perfect way to close out a Maine summer day. We take great pride in providing a comfortable, and beautifully maintained home for guests to enjoy!

Thank you for your review and feedback. I am constantly improving the decor and updating the cottage. I am the owner and a realtor and understand what guest are expecting and strive to exceed traveler's expectations. The recent improvements are evident in the kitchen with new appliances and although the sink and toilet have been replaced in the upstairs bathroom, I have not tackled the upstairs shower which is part of future plans. I look forward to having you return as a guest next year.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

Thank you for your review. I appreciate the feedback and I am glad you enjoyed the cottage. Most of Maine homes are on well water so I do have a treatment system for the house which is regularly maintained, the water is safe to drink and is tested however there can be a slight odor on occasion. We do our best to monitor and maintain.

Lovely house in a beautiful area

This house is located on the beautiful Orr's Island/ Bailey Island peninsula. Brunswick is an easy 20 minutes, as is the Harpswell peninsula. The kitchen is well stocked; linens and towels are very nice and plentiful. The house is very clean and the decor is perfect for a relaxing vacation. The view of Reed Cove is beautiful from the house and the many comfy chairs on the deck are great to take advantage of the views. The water in the house does have a constant sulfur smell. We had a problem with the hot water when we got there but the owner is responsive and her brother came over to fix things when needed. Note that the one single bed is in a loft so not good for small children who go to sleep earlier than the adults hanging out in the living spaces below (because of noise). Overall, we really enjoyed our two weeks.

Labor Day 2020

The home was very comfortable for my small family (myself, husband, and 21 month old son). It was the perfect setting to immerse ourselves in the beauty of Maine. Every time we looked out the back there was a Great Blue Heron. My son enjoyed going up and down (and up and down) the steps. We all feel rested and more connected after spending a week there. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Lynn O'Neill

Host profile image
I am the homeowner and also a Real Estate Professional
Native New Englander
Affiliated with Homeaway/VRBO since 2004
I take pride in offering my guests a wonderful experience.
I have a local property manager.
I enjoy sharing this special setting with others.

Why they chose this property

As I approached the front door of 10 Sunset View, I could see the water from Harpswell sound through the side lights and knew this was the one. I bought the home with the intention of renting and enjoying it myself as a get-away. I cherish my time here and have tried to keep the cottage - simple, with a vintage seaside feel. It has become primarily a "vacation rental" property. It does have the modern amenities and devices that we all need to work remotely and stay in touch with our friends and family. There is also a TV in each bedroom.
I have successfully rented the home each year to great tenants that seek the quiet, tranquil setting, panoramic water views, birdwatching, boat watching, boating, fishing, grilling ….I often tell people being on Orr's Island is like stepping back in time, away from the hustle and bustle of our work and busy lives. A place to retreat, reflect and regroup with family and friends.
The property is managed with my brother's assistance and he lives locally. The nearby town of Brunswick is a college town with shopping, diverse restaurants and activities.

What makes this property unique

The property has a large deck overlooking Harpswell Sound, direct water access to Harpswell sound with dock and floats. 10 Sunset View is set on 3/4 of an acre with a private back yard in a quiet neighborhood. There is a large front yard and plenty of parking.
This home offers first floor living with a master bedroom and bath on the first floor. It is very well equipped and appointed. Not your typical cottage!
Absolutely amazing sunsets!!
