Aweighs Away- Waterfront home perched above the gentle shore of Beal's Cove

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.

Kayak
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.

Nice cottage in great location
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.

Quiet, comfortable home in picturesque setting
This house on the cove was clean, comfortably furnished with a well-equipped kitchen. Checking in and out was simple. Though there were houses on either side, it felt very private. Views from the house were lovely and several outdoor chairs provided great spots for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. The area has ample trails for hiking and, of course, plenty of lobster sources.

Summer Vaca
Overall the property is very nice. The home is nicely maintained. Beds are very comfy which is very important! Something that I don’t believe is mentioned in the description is that the washer and dryer location is in the basement. The front yard out to the cover is also pretty steep, which is deceiving from the photos. The path down to the water is steep at parts as well. I think that really needs to be mentioned for families with small children or older adults expecting easy access.

Beautiful Location for Our First Visit to Maine
Absolutely perfect! This was a spur of the moment trip to visit Maine for leaf peeping and it did not disappoint. We could not have chosen a better location to stay. It was private with a beautiful view of the Beal's Cove shore. Each night we slept with the window open (unheard of in Texas) and enjoyed coffee overlooking the back yard view each morning. The bed was comfortable, shower pressure was great and we had all the amenities we needed including a washer and dryer. While we didn't use the kitchen, it had everything you would need to cook meals. It very much felt like home! We would absolutely consider staying at this property again and definitely on Orrs Island.

Awesome clean cottage with view
The cottage was a jewel. Easy to get to off main road but quiet. The view from the numerous windows was stunning, and the bonus of a “private feeling” cove where you could walk and sit and enjoy the small beach was icing on the cake!

Great Place
Worked great for my family with two small boys. They loved the cove. Close to lot’s of attractions. Giant’s Steps and Land’s End were favorites. Very responsive management. Will consider renting again.
