A great property and management team. We had a wonderful visit and would recommend this property to anyone wanting to stay in a beautiful location near Portland. A real memory maker location!
we've stayed in many vrbos and we were very happy with The Beach Rose. the owners are clearly very proud of their property and it shows. very clean, organized and charming. thank you for helping make graduation week a great memory.
Our group of five enjoyed our “girls’ weekend” at The Beach Rose cottage in June. We had our daily breakfasts on the sunny back patio, wine and cocktails on the front porch at sunset, and spent one chilly night in playing games around the large coffee table with the gas fireplace. We loved our time at this charming cottage in this beautiful part of Maine and hope to return in the future!
Exactly as advertised. A beautiful older home, but I say that to emphasize the charm. The views were great. The kitchen was well appointed and spacious. The had everything we need for a lobster boil. More amenities than advertised such as beach chairs, beach towels and a water cooler. Location was beautiful, near the end of Bailey Island.

We vacation on Baily Island nearly every year and have probably rented over a dozen different places. The Beach Rose is a family favorite. Just the right size with newer finishes / updates.
