About this property

As much "an experience" as shelter, Kinsale delights everyone of all ages.

This turn of the century Victorian is as much "an experience" as shelter, delighting guests of all ages. From the expansive wrap-around porch to the newly renovated three stories, Kinsale offers the true Maine Cottage experience, perfect for multi-generational families or groups. Standing tall on the eastern edge of Orr's Island, guests will enjoy stunning elevated, open ocean views of Casco Bay. Rock the day away on the wrap-around porch, offering covered and open spaces to enjoy the outdoors no matter the forecast. Delight in swimming from the property (for experienced swimmers) or walking down to Lowell's Cove, a family friendly sandy/pebbly beach. Fish to your heart`s content from the shoreline and the rocks. Watch the kids discover tide pools and shells. Stargaze from the open deck and watch the moon rise over the sea from one of the many oceanfront rooms. Scan the panoramic waterfront for lobster boats and marine life. At night, retire to multiple old-fashioned and comfortable bedrooms, including one on the first floor. Then . . . wake again the next morning to the sunrise over the water and do it all again! Kinsale by the Sea is the perfect site for a family gatherings. Once you have enjoyed living the life of yesteryear on the ocean, you find it hard-pressed to leave--but you remember your fun experiences for a very long time; the sea, the shore, and the old Maine cottage with its lovely  wooden interiors, the relaxing and expansive covered porch and the singular experience that is Kinsale by the Sea.

Pets are welcome at Kinsale by the Sea (a non-refundable pet fee applies).

Note for past guests- The once exposed studs are now covered in beautiful pine, the kitchen features new pine flooring, cabinets, and countertops, the bathrooms have been updated, exterior siding has been replaced, and new vinyl windows have been installed throughout.

Ladies Weekend
Our group was 7 women in our 50s and 60s on our annual Ladies’ Weekend. The view from this house was phenomenal. Was very nice for all of us to have our own room. We had an issue with the hot water heater while we were there, and property managers were quick to respond and handled it well. Would definitely rent this house again.
