A lot of the rental houses in the harpswell, orr's island, bailey island area are "magazine pretty". This one is just a basic house, on the water. Everything feels a little dated, and some things are a little rough around the edges, but honestly, it's fine. If everything was perfect, they'd be charging twice the price. As it is, we were able to have 11 people there for 5 nights and every couple had their own space. Plenty of parking. Nice firepit. Giant deck with nice outdoor seating. The only thing I'd point out is that the pictures kind of make it look like it's right on the water when in reality, there is a road below you and a working lobster dock. Personally, I kind of enjoyed seeing the lobstermen coming and going throughout the day, but it does mean that there is some occasional noise from trucks or boats, and it also means that the view from the deck has that working dock in your way. Again, I was OK with it, but the pictures were not accurate in that sense. But it was so much cheaper than anything else this size, it was worth it to me. Go to Salt Cod Cafe in the morning for coffee and breakfast sandwiches and blueberry muffins. Get your lobster rolls at Erica's or Garrett's. Have a nice lunch or dinner at the Dolphin, or Cook's. Rent kayaks at H20 Outfitters. Great trip.
