About this property

Waterfront on Orr’s Island. 3 bd/2ba Private setting with float/dock.

“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. tv in each room, 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.

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.

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!

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.

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 get-aways 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.

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!!
