About this cottage rental
Situated in the heart of a small lobster fishing village, Bridge View is a stylish, 3 bedroom cottage with a renovated scallop boat lounge. Built in the 1890s, Bridge View was recently renovated and decorated to reflect the nostalgia and aesthetic of midcentury Maine.
While Bridge View is the perfect place to just unwind and watch the lobster boats go by, it's also ideal for experiencing Downeast culture. Each morning, go for a short stroll around the fishing village. Breath in the salty sea air and photograph the sea captains hauling in their catch. Buy fresh lobster or shellfish straight from the pier. If you’re looking for more energetic pursuits, kayak Western Bay's countless coves or hike Great Wass Island, a renowned nature reserve connected to Beals by bridge. You can also take the lobster and shellfish hatcheries tour at the Downeast Institute or sample New England’s #1 rated lobster roll at Bayview take-out just down the street. ("Best Lobster Roll in Maine/Massachusetts" - USA today). Coastal boat tours are also available including puffin, seal, whale and lighthouse tours.
Bridge View and Beals are truly unique. The town of Beals is blissfully free of the tourist hordes that crowd most Maine towns in the summer and is the perfect base for visiting other popular Downeast destinations. Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park are just a little over an hour away. Drive the opposite direction up Route 1 to the historic coastal towns of Eastport, Lubec, and Campobello State Park, FDR’s beautiful summer home. The towns of Machias (host to famous Helen’s restaurant) and Cutler (home of Captain Andy Peterson’s popular Puffin Tour) are both just 30+ minutes away. But wherever you go, you’ll never be far from Maine’s dramatic, rocky coast or boulder-strewn blueberry barrens.

In a quintessential Maine lobstering village, this spotless home is creatively decorated in vintage items from various eras. Everywhere you look there is something else to admire. The cool boat hangout was an additional perk. Quiet area with beautiful views. And within a 1/2 hour there are many stunning beaches, preserves and trails, a Hannaford's Supermarket and a great tavern/restaurant called The Public House. Couple of small grocery/convenient stores, a pizza take out place in Jonesport, right over the bridge. Also can buy fresh seafood right on the docks. This is the place for you if you want to chill and explore nature and not see rows of T shirt shops! For us the whole vibe was magical. But if you are looking for lots of nightlife, shopping and restaurants, then you may want to consider Bar Harbor instead. Btw, Rich is a funny, engaging and considerate host who provided tons of helpful info. I'd give 10 stars if I could!

Bridge View was everything we hoped for and more. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely relaxed and welcomed by the charm of this beautiful coastal cottage. The home is thoughtfully decorated with cozy midcentury Maine vibes, and the renovated scallop boat lounge is such a unique and memorable touch.Waking up to the sight and sound of boats just a stone’s throw away, along with the salty ocean air, was magical. We loved walking through the quiet fishing village where everyone was super friendly, and exploring the stunning Downeast coastline was simply amazing. The location feels peaceful and authentic — far away from crowded tourist spots, yet close enough for incredible day trips.The cottage itself was spotless, comfortable, and incredibly charming. You can really feel the care and attention put into every detail. We played games, laughed and loved listening to the vinyl collection. We truly took a step back in time and truly cherished family time. It was the perfect place to unwind, reconnect, and experience the true beauty of Maine.Hosts were so responsive and had so many great recommendations for us for local areas. We’re already dreaming about coming back. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing and unforgettable coastal getaway!Tsaknopoulos Family 2026

The host was amazing and very accomodating. Everything we needed was on site, house was very clean and orderly. Quiet neighborhood, very freindly community, and awesome views. The neighborhood deer and the boat lounge were added bonus to our stay.

Overall a decent stay. The property is not on the water and the views of the water are pretty limited unless you climb the steep stairs to the outside lookout deck. The property is located in a neighborhood with a lot of houses right next to it and was advertised as having air conditioning which it did not have, just a couple fans. The trash in the outside bin had not been collected / removed for quite some time when we arrived, it smelled horrible, and was never removed during our three night stay (a bummer but something we were not surprised to see from non-local owner / operators). The recommendations for purchasing lobster directly from the wharf down the street was good (except on Sundays). The house had a lot of amenities but felt a bit cluttered to us. The one small bathroom and no dishwasher didn't seem adequate for the size / price point / marketing of the property, but the owner did provide plenty of towels and cleaning supplies. The cleaning person arrived before checkout time and seemed like were frustrated we weren't out yet. We would probably chose to stay somewhere else in the future but commend the owners on their marketing efforts which were top notch!
