Photos and Description of the Orrs Island vacation rental 600 sq ft studio sleeps 2/4

Located in the vibrant, south end of Orrs Island, this rental is probably the best kept secret on the island. The studio is in an area of summer homes originally known as ‘Cottage Lots’. This owner-occupied property was not part of that land division and has remained in the same family for over 150 years. The second floor rear studio unit is accessed via private stairs to a deck where one is greeted by amazing east and south views of the Atlantic Ocean. While this is an open floor plan, it is large enought that the living, dining and sleeping areas are easily defined - and there is a separate full kitchen and full bath. Just to the south of the property is the Cribstone Bridge to Bailey Island. Built in 1928, it is the only bridge of it’s kind in the world. Here you find Princes Point, home to H2Outfitters and the Salt Cod Cafe. This unit is perfect for a week or a long weekend.

The studio on Orrs Island

B & Me Central Mass
Review Submitted: September 8, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
My husband and I thank Cheryl and Tim for letting us stay in their lovely studio apt. with only a 2 day notice. They were very kind and accommodating and we very much appreciated working with them on such short notice. We loved the studio apt. and it was all, and more, then described. Loved the view from the deck and it's location. We will be back again with kayaks.

Family of 4 stays at comfortable studio apt.

Ted and Karen Montreal area, Quebec
Review Submitted: August 19, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
My husband and I slept in the queen size bed in the main room and both our children slept in the adorable sleeping loft which was very fun as it is up a ladder and private, with a window. We found the apt. spacious, it had internet, satelite t.v., propane barbeque on the deck, air conditioning, books/magazines/games/cards, and everything else we could want. The views were gorgeous and the walk to the 'back shore' took literally 1 minute down the lane. The beaches here are very rocky, but we had fun collecting sea glass (small pieces, but plenty of it) and beautiful rocks of all shapes and colors. We bought paint pens and when it rained, we painted rocks - which was lots of fun. There are several restaurants nearby and Cook's corner is only 20 minutes away with lots of shopping, fast food, and movies, etc. We visited Cundy's Harbor and ate lunch there then checked out the great gift shop. The Land's End gift shop on Bailey's Island is also very good and there is a nice beach there that is more sand than other area beaches. Cedar Beach on Bailey's Island is also good although parking is a pain (this is the beach you can see from the balcony of the studio apt.). The owners were very nice and gave us our privacy, but also supplied much information in a helpful binder for us to learn about the area. I recommend this place to anyone who loves historic ocean villages and beach combing or wants a quiet getaway in lovely surroundings. Sea kayaking was available

Great view from deck!

maggiemae88 Dedham, Maine
Review Submitted: December 20, 2007 Date of Stay: June 2007
This is an adorable second floor, one-room combo kitchen/DR/LR/bedroom, nice place for relaxation. The deck makes the place; nice place to sit and have your meals or just enjoy the view, which is wonderful. The owners have a nice yard with chairs in a semi-circle around the fire pit. The only complaints were a sulphur smell in the water (but we were the first to use it that season so it may have disappeared later in the season) and a rotten egg smell from the propane stove. The owner was very attentive in trying to fix the problems, and made up for it with a certificate for a local restaurant. It's in a quiet residential area; short drive to shopping and beaches. Popham State Beach is not far, and a wonderful place to spend the day. I wouldn't hestitate to go there again.
