We had a wonderful stay in this charming cottage at the top of the lane above the cove. Wonderful space inside with great proximity to explore the area. Very peaceful. I look forward to returning next season!

The home was very clean & had everything you need to cook. The beds were comfortable. The host was next door & very attentive. Location was perfect for our trip. The view was a neighborhood but you can walk a short distance to the cove. There are many hiking trails nearby. A gas station is about 20 minutes away. There are some small stores on the island. Our stay was very enjoyable.

This cute place is located in such a lovely area. We loved walking down to the cove in the morning with our coffee and gazing at the picturesque Maine view—classic! Host was so kind and helpful. The beds were comfortable and everything was super clean. Wonderful stay! Would return in a heartbeat. Great places to walk, eat, and enjoy Maine.

We had a great stay at Augustus Cottage. Cheri’s communication was excellent, and the homeowners next door were kind and welcoming. The cottage was exactly as advertised – very clean, neat, comfortable, and well appointed with new appliances and a smart TV. Everything worked perfectly.The location was fantastic. Nice neighborhood, and the small beach at Lowell’s Cove, just a short walk down the road, was perfect for exploring at low tide. There’s also a small hiking area with another beach right across the street – both were great to enjoy before heading out on our daily activities. From the cottage, it’s easy to explore Orr’s and Bailey Islands or quickly get into Brunswick. So much to do. Note that if you have two vehicles (or even a visitor) things could get a bit complicated, as there is truly only space for 1 vehicle. However, for a small family with one vehicle, this was perfect.Overall, we loved our stay and would happily return to this cottage!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay at Augustus Cottage and appreciated the cleanliness, comfort, and great location. It’s wonderful to hear you had a chance to explore the nearby beaches and trails — they’re such special spots. Thanks also for mentioning the parking — we do make sure to note in both the listing and arrival details that the cottage accommodates one vehicle, just so guests can plan ahead.

Great community

We really loved our days on and around Orr's Island. We enjoyed talking with lots of year-round and seasonal residents on both Orr's and neighboring Bailey Island. The house was very comfortable. Highlights nearby are the candy and ice cream shop just about a quarter-mile away, with homemade fudge etc.; and All Saints' Episcopal Church, a beautiful holy space that is opened for visitors some weekdays, with its amazing woodwork and nautical-themed stained-glass windows (and friendly people too--after going in on Thursday we went back for the service on Sunday). The church is even closer to the house than the candy store. And closest of all, the house's description doesn't call attention to something it should: a postcard-type view over Beal's Cove from the park that is literally just across the street, where you can also walk down to the shore of that cove to 100 yards or so of gravel beach (at low tide). This is the next cove over from the one that can be seen down the hill from some of the windows in the pictures.

Our base of operations

The house was very clean and neat, all the modern conveniences one would want, generally very comfortable. We have stayed in this neighborhood before and know some of its attractions (the cove, nearby ice cream place, nice hike just across the main road), but mostly used it as a base of operations while visiting other family elsewhere in Harpswell. It suited our purposes perfectly. Prospective renters should know: the house is advertised as having two bedrooms--which is true--but the owners don't want more than two people staying there. We found that confusing enough that we assumed we could have a third guest stay with us in the second bedroom. The hosts were kind enough to accommodate us, but made it clear they were a bit put out. Part of this had to do with there really being room in the driveway for one car. We appreciated the owners' flexibility and it all worked out well for us.

Thank you, Bill — we're really glad the house suited your needs and that you enjoyed both the home and your return to the surrounding area. Sorry for any confusion regarding the listing. It does note a two-person maximum and parking for one vehicle. While the home has two bedrooms, the second is intended to offer extra space or flexibility— not for additional guests. That said, we’re glad it all worked out and appreciate your understanding during your stay.
