Harbor views + stylish interior + boat lounge

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!

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. The living room was comfortable with a view of the bridge and working harbor and the kitchen was well-outfitted. We enjoyed exploring all the furnishings and decor! The hosts provided fantastic information about the history and current attractions in the area. The weather didn’t let us spend much time on the boat but it was fun to have it there. We hope to stay again in the future.

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

We highly recommend staying at Bridge View on Beals Island. Lovely home in a picturesque and serenely quiet location. Great deck and private yard. Rick is a fabulous host and very responsive to questions. House is centrally located for anyone who wants to explore Downeast Maine. We had great food at Helen's in Machias and Chipman's Wharf in Milbridge.

Wow! We enjoyed a great week at Rose Cottage. It’s a perfect place to explore Downeast Maine. Beds are comfy, house is immaculate, kitchen fun to cook in (love the vintage touches AND it’s quite functional as there are lots of pots, pans etc to make delicious meals). (As a side note, the WiFi worked great when we needed to attend to a few work related matters while away.) Best of all, the fresh Maine air and views of the water from the house can’t be beat.We took advantage of Rich and Julie’s detailed itinerary suggestions and enjoyed sailing on the Polaris Jack, visiting Jasper Beach, hiking Great Wass island and touring the Downeast Institute (to name a few). Highly recommend this rental for anyone looking to unplug and enjoy exploring this special part of Maine.

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely cottage. Quaint, peaceful, picturesque.

The owners are thorough and very responsive to any questions or inquiries. I personally spoke with Rich and he is great to work with.

A treasure all its own!

First - the host could not have been more helpful, and created a great resource library for everything Maine! Second - the house was just fun, although the stairs were a little daunting for aging knees. Third - inside the house was a fun treasure hunt. We so enjoyed staying there. Comfortable, cozy. Beds great, shower very good. Little touches - fabulous. Fourth - Beal's Island was such a great retreat from the busy world we live in. Down to earth folks, hard working, pride in their life. Enjoyed it all!

Perfect Downeast retreat

We loved our late summer getaway to Beals. The house is well-stocked and chic, with quirky mid-mo details (and gorgeous harbor views) everywhere you look. Rich is an exceptionally attentive host, providing various itineraries depending on your interests (hiking, beaching, etc.) as well as securing several discounts and perks (free bottle of wine!) with local vendors. Visitors should be prepared to drive to most local attractions; Beals is definitely a more remote location. And larger parties should note that there is not a dishwasher. Neither of these bothered us, because quiet and peaceful was what we were after, and we're apartment dwellers used to handwashing dishes...but it might be an issue for others. Check-in and out was a breeze.

Beautiful cottage and lovely location

The cottage and its location were exactly as described on the website. In fact, it was even better than we imagined. Hundred year old cottage just recently renovated with everything you need in the kitchen and a grill on the deck. Fabulous view from both decks of the harbor. Wonderful to be in a village with a working lobster fleet and neighbors who were extremely friendly and generous. The owners were so helpful and provided great service prior to and throughout our stay. We feel like they are now friends. The location provides access to the whole downeast region. So many wonderful places to hike and great food everywhere we went. We especially liked the Bayside Takeout that we could walk to in 5 minutes and loved the sunsets on Cranberry Cove just around the corner. Highly recommend! Hope we get to go back.

Amazing Experience

We loved everything about our stay here. The house is fantastic, and a mid century paradise for those of us who love that style. The house was very comfortable, and very clean. It rained our whole week, so we didn't have a chance to use the outside spaces, but they appeared to be very nice. There was a herd of deer that foraged and played in the brush immediately surrounding the house all week, which was fun to sit and watch. In particular, there was a piebald deer, which I had never seen before. Super cool. We loved the hiking in the area. Many, many amazing hikes within a 30ish minute radius. Rich provided a ton of resources for helping us to enjoy our stay, and was very helpful and communicative. I highly recommend staying here. Thank you Rich and Julie for sharing your adorable home with us.

A Little Jewel in a Hardworking Lobstering Village

We enjoyed our 5 night stay at Bridge View very much. The presentation and photos on VRBO are what first drew us to this property and village. The home is beautifully appointed with Rose family treasures and outfitted with the all necessities that anyone would need. Rich, our host, took great care in providing us with information before our trip and in binders at the house. Beals is a fascinating look into a very friendly, hardworking seafaring community, albeit somewhat removed from some conveniences and attractions. Since we’d already visited the usual tourist areas in Maine on two other vacays, it was the diversion we were looking for. Our favorite dining was eating our own lobsters from Barney’s Cove. Our favorite hike in the Beals area was Seaduck Point with a beautiful view and a pebble beach. Favorite more distant points were Long Point Preserve and Jasper Beach in the Machiasport vicinity. So many options, too little time!
