This was our third visit to Rose House and it never disappoints. Spacious, clean, and homey with lots of room to relax. The west-facing enclosed porch is a great spot to enjoy your favorite beverage and watch the sun set. Thank you, Marilyn, for another wonderful stay.

It was just lovely. The only thing that could have possibly improved our stay was if there had been a plate of those delicious raspberry scones from the Salt Cod Cafe on the counter when we arrived ;-). All kidding aside, our stay was perfect and we hope to come back again. Thank you Marilyn.

A great getaway for those just wanting to relax and enjoy the view.

This was a very old home with many antique furniture pieces but very well maintained. Clean, comfortable and equipped with anything you could need. A great location with spectacular views.Our host was very friendly and helpful with any information we needed. Would definately stay again or recommend to others.

Perfect vacation

Third time we've stayed at the Bea House. It's clean, comfortable and close to everything. Walking distance to the Salt Cod Cafe which has the best scones and to the Cribstone Bridge. My 7 year old granddaughter loves "the red house" and was sad we had to leave.

September on Orr's Island

The location of this cottage overlooking Harpswell sound is wonderful. The schooners coming back in at sunset, so beautiful. And you can't beat the scones and muffins from Salt Cod Cafe, which is basically in the backyard of the cottage. The only improvement for us, both being tall, would be one queen size bed 🙂 .

A Little Bit of Paradise

This spacious and well-kept home was extremely clean, with comfortable furnishings and numerous places to relax and unwind. The enclosed rear porch overlooking rhe water was a favorite spot for both morning cofee and evening cocktails. The owner supplies everything needed for a very pleasant stay and was responsive but unobtrusive. I highly recommend the Bea House it for an authentic Maine seaside vacation.

Red house with a view

It was more than we anticipated. Beautiful view the boats on the water. The homes on the other side of the channel. The home is spacious and very comfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed. Trash disposal was a blessing. We'd be very excited to stay here again.

A million dollar view!

This is a beautiful property, right on the inlet on Orr's island Maine. The view alone is worth the entire 13 hour drive from Pennsylvania, and the house is charming and very clean and well kept. I spent much of my time there on the large screened-in porch, taking in the kind of view that I imagine it would take several of me to actually afford to own! No matter, for the property is reasonably priced - a bargain considering the location! We'll be back, for sure.

Gorgeous, peaceful location. Lovely, clean, spacious, comfortable house with fabulous views from all windows in rooms and screened porches. Walk through back yard to Salt Cod Cafe, H20 Kayak Rentals, little beach, and cribstone bridge. House is on main road but cypress trees give great privacy and traffic was not heavy and noise was never a problem.I'm sure many of the homes are summer homes but this is NOT a heavy tourism area. It feels like a fishing village but you don't have to risk your life at sea to enjoy living there for a week. :) Wicked good chowder right out back at the Salt Cod Cafe. Tons of lovely little oceanside trails only minutes away, and Cedar Beach a few minutes drive. But you can walk through the yard and take a dip between the bridge and the cafe. Load up on supplies in Brunswick on your way in. That's only 25 minutes away. Harpswell in general has narrow roads with little to no shoulder, so the ability to cut through the back yard is perfect.

Nice open rooms

The first floor layout is nicely open with lots of windows for wonderful summer breezes & views along with nice older home with beautiful hardwood floors. A short walk to the Cribstone Bridge and the Salt Cod Cafe was nice. The house could use some updating with the bathrooms and resetting some of the doors that wouldn't stay shut tight as well as new silverware. Although there was not a gas grill immediately available, a text to the owner resulted in a quick response and her and her daughter brought over a smaller size propane grill and because of the well water, they provided cases of bottled water. Most anything you would need is a short 20-minute drive to major grocery stores, restaurants, ice cream shop and more.

Quiet Island Reprieve

We LOVED this quiet island retreat for our trip to Maine. The 1913 house gave a rustic, tucked-in vibe. Beds were comfy, adequate storage. 1 full bath +1 toilet room worked for us. Our favorite nightly perch was the back porch overlooking the ocean. Easy meal prep in the full kitchen- a few ants but controlled. While the house sits very close to the road, very little road noise. Probably not appropriate for young kids who might run out into road. Very hilly with no shoulders on road- watch where you walk, not bike friendly. Next door is a lovely bakery and outfitter for kayak rentals. It's 3 miles over the bridge from Orr's Island to the end of the Bailey Island. We explored the Great Steps on Bailey Island and made several trips to nearby Bowdoin College(Gelato Fiasco on Main st) for their Art, Artic museums & ocean center. Boothbay Harbor and Portland are a quick 30 min drive. Many great restaurants in the area. Close to nearby Bath, Harpswell, Freeport. Awesome lobster rolls in Wicasset. Stayed in Bar Harbor overnight for 2 day trip to Acadia National Park so we wouldn't have to trek the 3 hrs back. Outdoor parking next to house for up to 2 cars. Met the lovely owner and learned more history of the area. Bring extra fans to cool bedrooms; not a problem in fall. Would definitely return!!

Perfect Getaway

As soon as we walked in the door we knew we would love this place. It was a great deal based on location and size of the home. The house has a lot of character with the beautiful hardwood floors throughout, the furniture, bedrooms, and lovely enclosed sunroom. It was VERY clean and the communication with the owner couldn’t be better. If you stay here, you MUST try the scones from the Salt Cod Cafe which is just a short walk away. We hope to be coming back and would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful Home on Harpswell Sound

The Bea House was just as described. It was charming, beautiful, and had everything we needed to set up house for a week. There was plenty of room for 2 couples, lovely outdoor dining on the enclosed screened porch overlooking the water and boats, beautiful sunsets, comfortable beds. And, right next door was the Salt Cod Cafe, which had the most fabulous, delicious homemade scones, muffins, and clam chowder in Maine! The owner and her daughter are lovely people. I would recommend Bea House if you're looking for a homey place to stay while in Orrs Island/Bailey Island. It was wonderful!
