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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Property Needs Attention

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed for 3 nights over the 4th of July. It was apparent the property needs more attention and maintenance. The lawn was overgrown, dust and dirt behind furniture, bent bed frames, and lots of disgusting bugs! Although someone came out to mow after I notified the company and there was an offer of new bed frame slats (this wouldn’t have fixed the issue), it didn’t make up for the issues. We were uncomfortable and pretty grossed out the whole stay.

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.

Comfortable Stay, But Some Aspects Need Improvement

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. 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.

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.
