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.
