PLEASE READ , Know Before You Go. FROM Maine.gov concerning Covid-19 responsibilities & testing before traveling here to Maine .

Thank you!

Mark, Kevin, & Shirley

Testing as an Alternative to Quarantine

Visitors travel to Maine to enjoy our scenery, our outdoors, our restaurants, and our stores. They neither want to quarantine upon arrival nor want to risk their own health when venturing out in places with visitors from across the nation. The same holds true for people with second homes in Maine or Mainers whose work takes them out of state for periods of time.

Under Keep Maine Healthy,

The State will allow adults who obtain and receive a negative COVID-19 test from a specimen taken no longer than 72 hours prior to arrival to forgo the 14-day quarantine upon arrival in Maine. This test indicates that, even when coming from areas with a higher prevalence of the disease than Maine’s, such visitors are unlikely to have COVID-19 and to spread it to Maine residents and other visitors. Individuals may be tested in Maine, but they must quarantine while awaiting the results.
Maine is strongly urging visitors to “Know Before You Go,” and be tested and receive results in their home state before traveling to Maine, which will allow them to take appropriate action depending on the result. Websites like Get Tested COVID-19 show local testing options nationwide.
The State will exempt residents of New Hampshire and Vermont from the testing and 14-day quarantine requirement altogether, effective immediately for travel and effective June 12 for stays in lodging establishments. When adjusted for population, the prevalence of active cases of COVID-19 in these states is similar to that in Maine. There is no other state with as low a prevalence of COVID-19 within a 12-hour drive. The State will continue to evaluate possible additional exemptions based on trends in other states.
People who are not Maine, New Hampshire or Vermont residents must complete a Certificate of Compliance form indicating they have received a negative COVID-19 test result, that they will quarantine in Maine for 14 days, or that they have already completed their quarantine in Maine.
This Certificate of Compliance must be provided to check-in at all Maine lodging, campgrounds, seasonal rentals, and other commercial lodging, such as Airbnb. Visitors may be asked to furnish proof of the negative test result upon request.
This will become effective June 26, when lodging establishments may begin serving residents outside of Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. Signing a compliance form in order to stay in lodging establishments is also a policy employed by both the States of New Hampshire and Vermont.
The Department of Economic and Community Development will work closely with lodging establishments to communicate the State’s new alternative to quarantine through reservations, which must be taken this summer, and work to advance the message of “Know Before You Go” urging people to be tested at their point of origin through reminders to guests.
The State’s newly-announced standing order –which allows for most individuals in Maine with elevated risk of exposure to get tested without an order from their own primary care provider – coupled with enhanced testing capacity in July resulting from an agreement with IDEXX, will support testing of tourism workers in Maine and serve as a back-up option for tourists who cannot be tested at home and commit to quarantining in Maine while awaiting results.



NOW... about the property & surrounding area!

Sheacliff resides here on Lowell’s Cove and the mouth of the Atlantic Ocean. The rental property is a one room one bath over the garage studio apartment . It has a kitchen, a deluxe queen bed and a queen sofa bed to sleep four comfortably. There are beautiful southerly views of Lowells Cove & the Atlantic Ocean. Let the lapping of the waves lull you to sleep as you dream of your next days adventures in Maine.

Imagine waking in the morning to the sound of seagulls cawing, birds chirping and flying about, & butterflies fluttering from garden to garden. Take your cup of coffee and go downstairs to your patio to see it all before your eyes and watch the morning sun's rays dancing on Lowell's Cove.

Or perhaps you might feel like refreshing morning walk, or bike ride to Bailey Island for a delicious breakfast at the quaint Giant Stairs restaurant...note to self ''must have The Giant Stairs reuben and amazing onion rings...delish!!'' Or right next store 'B.I.G.S.' (Bailey Island General Store) for some great breakfast sandwiches, pancakes etc., & all your immediate shopping needs. Next stop, Landsend, a tourist favorite gift shop at the end of Bailey's Island, with a cozy beach and plentifully y of rocks for climbing all while enjoying the beautiful views of nearby islands.

Next stop visit the home of world famous L.L Bean in Freeport , home of the original outlet stores, and just a thirty minute scenic ride from your island getaway! Freeport is a beautiful coastal Maine village with over 200 upscale outlets, designer shops, eclectic boutiques, great restaurants, casual cafes, & numerous outdoor adventures. L.L. Bean also offers guided kayak tours for some fun in the sun! Enjoy an authentic Maine experience, just a short drive north from Boston, and only 15 minutes north of Portland.

Speaking of fun in the sun how about grabbing the gang for a picnic or BBQ at Reid State Park. Today, thousands of visitors enjoy the park's long, wide sand beaches like Mile and Half Mile, which are rare in Maine. Enjoyed as a recreational resource, the beaches are also essential nesting areas for endangered least terns and piping plovers and resting and feeding areas for other shorebirds. Rarer than beaches along Maine's coast are large sand dunes, like those at Reid. From the top of Griffith Head, a rocky headland overlooking the park,you can view sweeping seascapes and spot the lighthouses on Seguin Island, The Cuckolds, and Hendricks Head. You can also see several islands, including: Damariscove, a thriving fishing community in Colonial times.

Your vacation in Maine wouldn't be complete without a visit to Boothbay Harbour.

A mere forty-one miles from Orr's Island, a visit to this region can be whatever you want it to be: a peaceful time to refresh your soul, an active time boating, fishing, hiking, playing golf and tennis, or a family adventure. Explore quiet coves, rocky shores, meandering country roads, and beautiful lighthouses. The restaurants are plentiful and varied, and the food is delicious. The salt air isn't the only thing that's refreshing. Explore one of more than a dozen nature trails, try out there world class golf course, or experience some of the best sea kayaking available anywhere. There harbor bustles with fishing vessels and pleasure craft in equal numbers, and nothing beats the sight of the schooners heading in from the afternoon trip with their sails bathed in the rosy light of a spectacular sunset - unless of course you're lucky enough to be on board! Note to self...''Must go on a Whale Watching tour!''

Wherever you go whatever you do, perhaps its just grabbing a good book a glass of lemonade & heading down to the cove to search for sea glass. You needn't go far to immerse yourself in the beauty & pleasures of Maine here at you Orr's island getaway!

Rest and relaxation
Our stay was great. The space was exactly what it stated in the description. The only issue we had was with the water as it smelled horrible like eggs. We bought water to drink and cook with and our showers were very short using boiled water and sometimes we sucked it up and showered with smelly water. The owners were receptive and apologetic and gave us a partial refund. They were very nice. Location of the place was great. it was peace and other than the smelly water we truly enjoyed our stay.

Was just okay, but the island made it worth it!
The listing & photos were confusing. The photos make it look like there’s a bedroom. The listing says there are 2 futons, but no bed. In reality there is a Queen sized bed & a pull out couch. The listing stated there is a hot tub. Which honestly was one of the reasons we booked, there was no hot tub. If you have Verizon there is barely any cell service on the whole island & the wifi at the apartment was horrible. We honestly wouldn’t have minded so much but we were having problems with our flights. So to even make a call or get on the internet we had to drive 20 min away. If you are sensitive to smoke, this might not be the place for you. To get to the apartment you walk through the garage, it smells like someone smokes in there. The checkout process was also kind of confusing. The binder they provided had instructions for a completely different place & nothing in it applied to the apartment. The hosts were very nice & very responsive to messages which was wonderful. All in all, not a bad place but for the cost we wouldn’t book again.

My partner and I and our two dogs just got home from a week at Sheacliff. Even though we had some rain, the area is absolutely beautiful and so quiet and relaxing. We got so many great recommendations from the host. Our pups loved swimming in the water at low tide and walking around the numerous nearby hiking trails !

Our stay here on Orrs Island was so relaxing. Mark made sure everything we wanted was taken care of. The yard and neighborhood were great for enjoying the weather. Our dog really enjoyed the walk down to the ocean. This location is convenient to see Maine and surrounding area. Was just what we needed for a getaway! Thank you Mark!

Second time
The property has everything you need. Not right on the water, but has a very nice patio with a lovely view. The added taxes and various fees are making another visit unlikely inspite of the reasonable base price of the unit. Also, if a cleaning fee is included, should a guest be asked to empty trash, strip the bed,etc??

Refreshing, relaxing and bonus lemons 🍋
My fiancé and I stayed at this wonderful location for a two week vacation during the summer (July- August). First, the hosts, Mark, Kevin and Shirley are wonderful. They are generous with their time, detailed with their explanations of what the island's have to offer, and Mark even saved the day for me and brought me lemons I needed for the dinner that I was making on the day I propsed to my fiancé. The area is beautiful, lovingly manicured, and the view of the cove from the picnic table outside is stunning. It's nice to be off of the main road and nestled in such a cozy, quiet space. The property is an above-garage guest suite with an open floor plan and one full bathroom with plenty of space. It was very clean and well maintained. The kitchen was equipped well enough to cook meals, which we did several times. The place also has a window AC unit, which is a boon when it's hot outside. This place is absolutely lovely for a single or a couple, I highly recommend staying here and look forward to a return visit!

We had a lovely stay at Sheacliff. Mark is a great host and gave us plenty of area tips and ideas. The studio was perfect for the two of us and our dog, Penny! It was clean and has everything you need, including a nice new propane grill on the patio. The view from the unit and the grounds is amazing. We could hear the waves crashing every night! Harpswell is a special place, and Sheacliff is a great base to experience it. We hope to come again soon!
