Lowell's Getaway. Kayaking, beaches, dining and AC from this water view home.

Lowell’s Cove Getaway is a beautiful 2 story home which overlooks the sparkling waters of Lowell’s Cove on beautiful Orr's Island. Bring your family and pets (per pet/per day fee required) to this 3-bedroom 2 bath, home located on a quiet private road. It is a short drive or walk to the beach at nearby Lowell’s Cove. You may also enjoy other nearby opportunities to both swim and kayak along the rugged Maine coast.

Sit out on the upper deck to enjoy a book, cup of coffee, glass of wine, or just watch the activities on the water of Lowell's Cove. Sleep comfortably on a summers night with an AC unit in each bedroom, and one in the common area. In the fall and winter relax inside by the propane fireplace on cool evenings or rainy days.

Take a walk to the nearby Island Candy Company for handmade candy or a scoop of ice cream, delicious. Continue walking (or driving) south on Rt 24 to the one of a kind Cribstone Bridge connecting Orr's and Bailey Island. Choices for lunch and dinner are located on both side of the bridge. May we suggest Salt Cod Café, Cook's Lobster & Ale House, Sundrenched, or Bailey Island General Store (BIGS). Rent a kayak or take a lesson at H2O outfitters or book a sailing adventure on Casco Bay with the Schooner Alert. Choose your own adventure!

We recommend a car for your stay here in Harpswell, Lowell's Cove Getaway is located 20 minutes from major grocery stores and the town of Brunswick. We hope you will be able to enjoy exploring all the Maine coast has to offer. If you will be flying to Maine, we recommend Portland International Jetport (PWM). If assistance is needed for varying flight arrivals of your party, Safe Harbour Property Management offers concierge rides to and from PWM, please inquire.

Please note there will be a generator provided for this property, if needed.

We had a great time as a family at this beautiful, authentically-decorated home on Orr's Island! The home served us well and had a beautiful view that you could see from many windows, the front porch, and even while standing at the sink. I really loved the decorations because they were so authentic. Glass fishing floats, displays of sea glass, nautical flags, a lobster trap lamp, and many other authentic and locally-oriented details made it so genuine. My favorite detail was the L.L. Bean nautical map bed sheets which featured Casco Bay and even had Orr's Island on them! Another detail I loved were beautiful, authentic landscape paintings by D.A. Fisher, apparently an artist from Portland, Maine who was born in the 1800's. The home felt like a family's long-established vacation home, even though the house itself is newer. I was happy that it had a washing machine and dryer. The caretakers seem very safety-oriented because there were many nightlights throughout the home and also many door emergency keys all over the place (good if a young child accidentally locks himself into a room). It was clean and seemed to be taken care of well. The location was wonderful and quiet with several local restaurants nearby but also only 20 minutes away from a bigger town with Walmart and any typical store you could need. My one tip would be to make sure the long couch against the kitchen counter area is pulled out enough so that no one hits his head on the counter while taking his seat.

Our great vacation in Harpswell's Lowell'sGetaway
The house was very clean, comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, great porch with wonderful sunrises and views. Close to restaurants and small markets. Cedar beach is wicked good and only 10 minutes away. The best little candy/ chocolate shop that also makes their own silky smooth, not-too-sweet ice cream is a 5-minute walk away, and tempting every day.

Our family and two small dogs enjoyed this nice spot near the water! The home was clean and well-supplied. We appreciated the nice extra amenities like a tea selection, well stocked paper products, and disposable plates. The porch is awesome - you can sit out and look right at the water.

Awesome home, perfect location, great vacation
This is a beautiful, well kept and well appointed home. The front porch is expansive and a great place to curl up with a book and listen to the waves in the bay. The home is comfortable and is centrally located. It is easy to get to many fun activities, including Kayaking, hiking, local shopping, beach going, site seeing, exploring. We highly recommend this home, and we look forward to coming back next year! 😊

Great return
Our second stay was every bit as enjoyable as our first, a year ago. This is a beautidully maintained property with lovely ocean outlooks from all living areas and the raised deck. The house is fully and thoughtfully equipped for a Maine coastal holiday; the three bedrooms are equally pleasing, immaculate, comfortable. The open plan works perfectly for family living. We have found David, the property manager, to be immediately responsive on any question, professional in all dealings - and welcoming! This makes a fine base for exploring the Harpswell islands and this part of midcoast Maine.

Wonderfully appointed beach house
My wife, family and I loved this house. It was well kept and had all the amenities we were looking for… washer/dryer, big fridge, grill, Keurig and ceiling fans in all the bedrooms. The only thing missing was a dishwasher. It had a real home vibe, like we were staying at a friend’s beach house. We hung out on the front porch a lot, enjoying the view. We had a couple issues, but Dave the property manager was very attentive to our needs. If we come back this way, we would definitely stay here again.

We had a relaxing and enjoyable stay on beautiful Orr's Island. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. We especially appreciated the open kitchen, living room, and dining area, where we could all spend time together. We loved the wonderful view and location, and enjoyed spectacular sunrises over the water each morning. Thanks to the owner and property manager for sharing this lovely home with us.

Location, location, location! Grand view, quiet and peaceful. The drive to Orr's island was a beautiful scenic experience day after day. The house worked well for the four of us. The bed in the Master was a little tight and pillows need to be improved but the comfort of the house was cozy and easy to navigate.

A perfect week on Orrs Island!
This house (and as a result our stay) was the most perfect VRBO house we've stayed in. Our three-year-old granddaughter was enchanted with the children's room. So many thoughts touches throughout the house. David was amazing - from texting us ahead of time to let us know that the house was ready early to answering our few questions promptly. He made everything so easy. The area is stunning. We especially enjoyed all that Orrs and Bailey Islands had to offer, including a penny candy store! We look forward to returning in the future. Many thanks for a perfect holiday!

Yellow water which smelt of sulfur, unresponsive and rude property manager
We rented this home in Harpswell for the week of the 4th of July, and were so excited about this trip for 7 months as we planned for it. When we got to the house it was lovely. That was until we turned on the water to fill our dog's bowl. We immediately noticed the overwhelming smell of sulfur when we turned on the faucet, and the water was distinctly yellow. I texted David and he told me to just run the water for 20 minutes. I told him that did not do anything, and he eventually told me a filter needed to be replaced. He came over, no filter needed to be replaced. He told us that water was like this in Harpswell and he regularly bathed in yellow water. We asked our cousins, who own a home in Harpswell, and they adamantly disagreed. When we told him that, he instead told us that the owner had to put in a bleach/chlorine filter system. I told David I was pregnant and my OBGYN advised against either bathing in yellow water or a newly installed and uninspected bleach filter system, so we left. David was rude, unhelpful and lied every step of the way. Our whole 4th of July trip was ruined and we returned home on another long drive. No apologies from the property manager. Harpswell is a lovely place, where we have spent a lot of time growing up. Please don't risk your health on a house with unsafe water and a manager who lies about it.
