Une expérience typique de cottage du Maine, captivant les invités de tous âges

This charming turn-of-the-century Victorian offers more than just a place to stay—it’s an experience in itself, captivating guests of all ages. With its expansive wrap-around porch and newly renovated three-story layout, Kinsale provides the quintessential Maine cottage experience, ideal for multi-generational families or groups. Perched on the eastern edge of Orr's Island, guests can enjoy sweeping, elevated views of the open ocean and Casco Bay. Spend leisurely hours on the wrap-around porch, offering both covered and open areas to enjoy the outdoors, regardless of the weather. For experienced swimmers, the property offers direct access to the water, or you can stroll down to Lowell's Cove, a family-friendly beach with sandy and pebbly shores. Cast a line from the rocky coastline or watch the kids explore tide pools and gather shells. In the evenings, stargaze from the open deck and witness the moonrise over the sea from one of the many oceanfront rooms. Scan the waters for lobster boats and marine life as the day winds down. At night, retreat to one of the eight cozy bedrooms, including one on the first floor. Wake up the next morning to the sun rising over the water, ready to experience another day of seaside magic. Kinsale by the Sea is the perfect place for family gatherings, and once you've enjoyed the charm of this historic home by the ocean, leaving will be difficult—but the memories you create here will last a lifetime. With its timeless wooden interiors, expansive porch, and a sense of stepping back in time, Kinsale by the Sea offers a truly unforgettable Maine experience. ** Please keep in mind ** Kinsale is a beloved and well-preserved historic home that has warmly welcomed many multi-generational families through its doors. However, it is important to remember that it is still a century old home. While the interior has been thoughtfully restored with pine wood and modern amenities, such as a dishwasher and on-demand hot water, it still retains the charm and character of a bygone era. Some aspects of the house are imperfect—such as slightly uneven floors and steeper steps in certain areas and raised thresholds that you wouldn’t typically find in a modern home. This unique Victorian property offers a step back in time, but it may not be suitable for everyone. We encourage guests to review the photos and carefully consider if this distinctive home is the right fit for you and your family before booking. Pets are welcome at Kinsale (a non-refundable pet fee applies). More than one dog requires host permission.
