About this property

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.

What an amazing stay! The house is so charming and impeccably decorated. It has everything you could possibly need for a short or long stay. There are beautiful views of the harbor, and the hosts provided any information you could possibly need to make your stay easier from itineraries to restaurant recommendations. 10/10 I can't recommend more!

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.

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!

Overall the house was good and had everything we needed. The interior was well decorated and fit the area. The boat was a fun little add on and we watched the sunrise from the upper deck. The house is pretty remote so if you are looking for restaurants close by you will struggle to find anything

Wonderful home - beautiful location - peaceful

We had a lovely week. The home is beautifully set up and very well kept. Everything was as expected. Host is wonderful, attentive and provided a lot of research on itineraries and suggestions for the area. This home is well located between Acadia, Machia, Lubec. I would love to go back!

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.

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.

Could Not Have Loved it More

A great property and amazing hosts! Rich and Julie are top tier hosts. Great communication in terms both of clear and detailed info and in warmth and good energy. The location is super charming and the house is perfect. Not only clean, comfortable, cute, and well appointed - it's also well *curated*. I loved the eclectic decor - mid century mod overall, but with a lot of nods to island's nautical history as well in the art and objects around the house. A number of nice art and design books, etc. in the living room.It's apparent that a lot of time and attention were put into creating a space that felt authentic and celebratory of the region's culture and history, while also being low key stylish. Rich and Julie have anticipated pretty much anything a guest could possibly need for cooking and/or entertaining, and they also put together a great and very detailed collection of binders with a ton of info about the house, the island, and the entire region. There are also games and movies on CD (we enjoyed "Keeping the Light" - an art film based on the true store of a female Jonesport lighthouse keeper), and a load of fiction and non-fiction books perfect for a rainy day indoors. The island has gorgeous nature trails and LOADS of deer! I was thrilled to wake on morning to six of them casually munching on brush in the side yard just outside my window. An A rental with A hosts.

Having never been to Maine we chose this location somewhat blindly to stay at while in the Jonesport area. Idyllic, yes, but it was SO MUCH MORE! We fell in love with Bridge View. Not only does it retain the feel of an old fishing village, there are treasures in every nook and cranny, and the hosts encourage their guests to explore. Each day we found something new, from 50s and 60s comics and magazines, to old albums and a turntable, to many books on the history of the “Downeast.” The hosts provided guides for eateries, hiking trails (Seaduck Point is enchanted), to unique things to do and see, but the best was that our host provided personal suggestions that helped us as we ventured out into the area.And there’s a boat, which seemed strange to us but as we drove through Maine we learned this is a common sight. This boat has been made into a small, nicely stocked bar. The deck of the boat provided an elevated place to sit where you could see the the water, the uniqueness of the island, and a harbor dotted with boats. I’m a big guy, so getting down into the boat was not an easy task, but I loved the sunset from up top. And, after seeing the magical night sky, without the city light pollution, I wondered if I had ever seen the stars before.This is a one in a million find! It was just two of us, but Bridge View could easily have slept 5, maybe 6. There is so much to do in this area, you’ll have to do some driving, but the scenery is rich with history and personality.

Wonderful House, wonderful host

Rich and Julie are the ultimate “virtual” hosts, they have well crafted guidebooks for Downeast Maine that were invaluable. The house is excellent including the record player and the vibe the house creates. From Beals and beyond the region is well worth a visit and we hope to be back to the region/house in the not too distant future!

Serene in Maine's Downeast

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.

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

A most Enjoyable Stay in Down East Maine

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely cottage. Quaint, peaceful, picturesque. The cottage is well maintained and is noticeably decorated with an attention detail which has a warm and welcoming feel to it. The owners are thorough and very responsive to any questions or inquiries. I personally spoke with Rich and he is great to work with. You can immediately sense that he is genuinely interested in each and every one of his guests having a great vacation in this quaint fishing village. I would highly recommend this property.
