About this house rental
Enjoy breathtaking sunsets from this lovely 3BR, 1BA waterfront home perched above the gentle shore of Beal's Cove, perfect for kayaking adventures, watching wildlife, and relaxing by the sea as the afternoon light floods the windows. On a one-acre lot with large sloping yard to the shore, you can walk from the home to your own private waterfront access on a quiet, tidal cove, ideal for high-tide swimming or launching your kayak. You'll love exploring all the islands have to offer during the day and retreating to the cottage in the evenings to catch the gorgeous pink, purple and orange hues of a Harpswell sunset.
Inside the cottage you'll find an open concept kitchen, living and dining with beautiful westerly views of the cove, three bedrooms, and one full bathroom with a shower/tub combo. Buy some local seafood and come back to the cottage to enjoy a lobster bake or take a short drive to one of the few great restaurants, and don't forget to stop by the Island Candy Company for a sweet treat! You'll also love being just a short walk away from Lowell's Cove, a great small sandy/pebbly beach, great for beachcombing, swimming, and soaking up the sun.

10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2025
This house and property had everything we needed as a family of five adults. The house was clean and comfortable. It is a compact house with all three bedrooms and the only bathroom off a short hallway, and is therefore best suited for people who don't mind being in close proximity with one another.We were worried about waterfront access due to some of the other reviews, and it is true that the back yard has a steep slope leading down to the water. There is also no gangplank from the yard to the dock which made it harder than it should have been to get on and off the dock. That said, it is worth the effort. Beal's Cove is beautiful and protected and is great for swimming and as a launching point for various kayaking ventures at all tides - for example, we circled Orr's and Bailey Islands, each of which is about a 2-3 hour round trip from the dock.I would definitely recommend this property and would come again.

The Cove Cottage on Beal's Cove checked off all the boxes. Quiet, clean, accessible and private. The Hosts were beyond helpful! I do have a couple suggestions; make known the TV is only streaming, provide a small saucepan and blender, and create a safer pathway to the Cove. Possibly loose rocks the last 10 feet, as these would not wash away, providing stable footing for kayak access.

Cove Cottage was very much as described in the listing. The MaineStay team was great. Easy to reach via text and extremely helpful. The location was perfect for exploring Orr's and Bailey's Islands as well as surrounding area. The house was very quiet. The kitchen was well stocked and we were able to cook full meals there without any issues.
A few minor watch outs: the walk down to Beal's Cove was pretty steep and slick. Future guests should keep this in mind. Wifi was generally good but at times in and out. There is no AC (as mentioned in the listing) but it was quite hot even with fans and windows open. Nights cooled down a bit. Home is quite functional but could certainly benefit from a few updates/upgrades.
We certainly enjoyed our week in Maine on Orr's Island.

Reviewer Comments:
For the price paid, the rental felt a bit dated and did not provide good overall value. While portable fans were provided, ceiling fans would have been more appropriate and effective. The proximity of what looked like an abandoned home next door was a bit unsettling and detracted from the overall ambiance. Although the property offers a nice view, accessing the water was challenging due to a difficult path, which was really disappointing. On the positive side, the beds were comfortable.
