Photos and Description of the Orrs Island vacation house rental 4 bedrooms, 1 full bath, 1 shower, 1 half bath, 1st Fl laundry, sleeps 7

Toadhall enjoys expansive southerly views of Lowell's Cove. Located on a crest of the hill, this stately home with large, covered waterside porch overlooks the boat-filled harbor just a couple 100 yards a way. Walk along the cove, bike to the Cribstone Bridge, sun in the sand at Crescent Beach, or simply enjoy the aroma of freshly cut lawns and the seabreeze. Whether you kayak, canoe, sail, motorboat, swim, fish, walk, bike, run or simply wander, Casco Bay's multitude of islands, quiet coves, hushed forests, nature trails, waving sea marshes and rocky shores will delight the senses. Orr's Island is part of the Town of Harpswell, just 12 miles from Brunswick and Bowdoin College. It is convenient to Bath (home of the Maine Maritime Museum), Freeport (LL Bean), and just an hour from Portland. Easy day trips to Reid State Park, Popham Beach, Boothbay Harbor, Wiscasset's 40+ antique shops and the many area restaurants, galleries and farmer's markets make each day of your visit a pleasure.

Comfy and wonderful location

carvteach Norwich, VT
Review Submitted: July 29, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Six adults stayed here and had a wonderful time. Location is quiet, with a beautiful view from the back porch (our favorite hangout). Owners were nearby and helpful if we needed anything. Cottage is not on the water, but near enough to hear the lapping of the water at night, and a nice easy walk down to a small beach area (lots of nice walking areas on Orr's Island).
My sister brought her dogs, and the house is set up nicely to accomodate pets. There aren't pricey antiques around that we had to worry about the dogs knocking over, and the backyard has two dog runs which made it possible to let them be outdoors on their own. The bedrooms were comfy with nice dormer windows which let in the sea breezes. Stairs are a little steep, so if you are travelling with someone who has a disability you should take up the offer to set up a bedroom downstairs. Otherwise everything was perfect!!
Kitchen was supplied with all you could need. We brought most of our own stuff, but there were spices available, and a gas grill on the back porch, too...oh, yeah...and of course the lobster pot!
As for nearby activities - we found a golf course about 5 miles away, a cinema about 10 miles away, and we were also close enough to Portland to go there. Lots of great restaurants, too. All in all it was a fantastic vacation.
Thank you Peter and family!
