Oceanfront cottages · Orr's Island, Maine

Watch the moon rise out of Casco Bay

Two quiet cottages on a rocky, spruce-lined shore. Lobster boats at sunrise, tide pools by day, and a sky full of stars at night.

Since the 1930s

Orr's Island is the Maine coast at its finest, and our family has been part of this shoreline since the 1930s.

Now we share it with you. Slow mornings on the deck, afternoons on the rocks with a fishing line, and evenings watching the moon climb out of the water.

It’s a place to relax, recharge, and reconnect with the people who matter, 20 minutes from Brunswick and about an hour from Portland.

Our story

A family shoreline, shared

This property has been in our extended family since the 1930s. The island was shaped by glaciers into a long strand of rock and spruce, and the back shore is where it is at its most peaceful.

Betty's Place came first. Barnacle followed in 2026 after a renovation of its kitchen and bathroom, keeping the character it has gathered over the decades. Our local team looks after both, so you can simply settle in.
