8 Bedroom Cottage in Orrs Island, Orr's Island

This charming turn-of-the-century Victorian offers more than just a place to stay—it’s an experience in itself, captivating guests of all ages. With its expansive wrap-around porch and newly renovated three-story layout, Kinsale provides the quintessential Maine cottage experience, ideal for multi-generational families or groups. Perched on the eastern edge of Orr's Island, guests can enjoy sweeping, elevated views of the open ocean and Casco Bay. Spend leisurely hours on the wrap-around porch, offering both covered and open areas to enjoy the outdoors, regardless of the weather. For experienced swimmers, the property offers direct access to the water, or you can stroll down to Lowell's Cove, a family-friendly beach with sandy and pebbly shores. Cast a line from the rocky coastline or watch the kids explore tide pools and gather shells. In the evenings, stargaze from the open deck and witness the moonrise over the sea from one of the many oceanfront rooms. Scan the waters for lobster boats and marine life as the day winds down. At night, retreat to one of the eight cozy bedrooms, including one on the first floor. Wake up the next morning to the sun rising over the water, ready to experience another day of seaside magic. Kinsale by the Sea is the perfect place for family gatherings, and once you've enjoyed the charm of this historic home by the ocean, leaving will be difficult—but the memories you create here will last a lifetime. With its timeless wooden interiors, expansive porch, and a sense of stepping back in time, Kinsale by the Sea offers a truly unforgettable Maine experience.
** Please keep in mind ** Kinsale is a beloved and well-preserved historic home that has warmly welcomed many multi-generational families through its doors. However, it is important to remember that it is still a century old home. While the interior has been thoughtfully restored with pine wood and modern amenities, such as a dishwasher and on-demand hot water, it still retains the charm and character of a bygone era. Some aspects of the house are imperfect—such as slightly uneven floors and steeper steps in certain areas and raised thresholds that you wouldn’t typically find in a modern home. This unique Victorian property offers a step back in time, but it may not be suitable for everyone. We encourage guests to review the photos and carefully consider if this distinctive home is the right fit for you and your family before booking.
Pets are welcome at Kinsale (a non-refundable pet fee applies). More than one dog requires host permission.
Note for past guests- The once exposed studs are now covered in beautiful pine, the kitchen features new pine flooring, cabinets, and countertops, the bathrooms have been updated, exterior siding has been replaced, and new vinyl windows have been installed throughout.

Summary: Started with the place not ready when we arrived. Then discovered the refrigerator had soy sauce spilled in places that were impossible to clean. Main floor bathroom smelled worse than any porta potty or pit toilet I have ever been in. I cleaned it repeatedly but to no avail. The house is very old and has walls and ceilings covered in new cedar but the floors and doors are original, with many doors having just a hook to hold them closed. One door had multiple screw tips protruding so we put corks on them to prevent injuries to the kids. Trip hazards where floors transitioned room to room with a 1 inch difference. Cooking was a challenge as the cookware was not good. Old, and distorted with nonstick surfaces peeling and the type of stove that needs very flat bottom pans to heat. We knew it was “pet friendly” so be prepared for dog smell in the furniture. It would not take much to upgrade a few things to make the property a lot more user friendly. Beware of the linen fee. I have never rented anywhere that charges a fee to provide bed linens. Maybe it’s a Maine thing?

Summary: The big porch is partly covered and uncovered, but no matter where you sat, you had a fantastic view! We saw eagles, lobster boats, and gorgeous sunrise/sets. You could hear the ocean from your bedroom window. We were 8 adults and 2 kids, and we had plenty of space: we fit in the main living room to watch movies at night but had plenty of alone space too (there is another tv room if you need it). Bedroom arrangements: the main floor had a bedroom (queen), and a walk in shower plus toilet/sink. The house is older/quirky so the shower and toilet were next to each other but separate rooms. Second floor had: 4 bedrooms and a full bath (tub) plus a half bath. Third floor had 3 bedrooms. Plenty of box and ceiling fans since there is no AC; we didn’t miss the AC. The house was about 20 minutes south of larger grocery stores/restaurants, but a couple of smaller options exist on Orr’s Island for a quick trip out (check their hours before you go). Kitchen was fully stocked. WiFi was strong. Beds were very comfy. To be expected, cell coverage was spotty at best and nonexistent at worst. Water pressure was ok. As an older, quirky, rustic house, the water pressure and temp would drop if more than one water source was being used, but that is the life of an old house so embrace it! Highly recommend you arrive in daylight; it’s rural and you can’t see the house from the road, plus Waze struggled to take us directly to the house.

Summary: We loved the view! The house needs ALOT OF WORK 1. Boards in the deck are loose 2. Theres almost no curtains/blinds 3. The sink is loose on the 2nd floor 4. The electrical work is very shoddy and dangerous. Theres wiring here there and everywhere 5. The floors are old and dry, i got a massive splinter 6. The thresholds and door frames are extremely dangerous, one adult stubbed their toe badly, 1 young child smacked their head extremely hard on the corner because of the thresholds Overall the communication was very slow in their own texting thread, also the pictures make the place look alot nicer than it is.. For 3k for 3 nights we expected alot better

Summary: Our group was 7 women in our 50s and 60s on our annual Ladies’ Weekend. The view from this house was phenomenal. Was very nice for all of us to have our own room. We had an issue with the hot water heater while we were there, and property managers were quick to respond and handled it well. Would definitely rent this house again.
